Top Safari Wilderness Hotel Reviews

The Berkley, Orlando

10/10 Excellent

"This was an absolute great stay! Extremely spacious, great amenities, wonderful staff, and very clean rooms. The condo we stayed at was three bedrooms, with three private baths. Two were king suites with jet tub and walk in shower, and the other was a single room with double beds and own bathroom. The kitchen was very large, had all the utensils needed to make breakfast and a laundry room as well. If you're looking for a family-friendly stay, this is it."
