Bryan’s Spanish Cove Resort Review

Brian’s Spanish Cove is a small resort located nearby the Walt Disney World Resort in Central Florida, but that doesn’t mean you should look over it. The location is great, the view from rooms facing the lake is great and the rooms [at least as far as we are concerned] are well worth the price. The thing is, we haven’t taken too much time to talk about the resort itself when it comes to Brian’s Spanish Cove. Why? Quite frankly, the resort itself doesn’t have all that much going for it.

Now, don’t let that fool you into thinking that Brian’s Spanish Cove isn’t a good place to stay. We’ve shared some of our thoughts on whether or not it’s worth booking a room here and we’d encourage you to check out what we had to say if you’re considering it for yourself. The thing is, it’s important to understand that while the rooms might be ideal for the right type of families, the resort itself isn’t going to compare to some of what you might find elsewhere out in town.

Unlike some of the resorts and hotels you’ll find elsewhere in the area, Brian’s Spanish Cove feels [in terms of the resort and its layout] more like a roadside motel than a resort. The resort is small and so is every element of it. There’s no lobby, just an office area and the pool isn’t much bigger than what you’d find in someone’s back yard. This all being the case, I think it’s important to keep in mind that this isn’t the type of resort where you can wander and relax; there’s not far to wander and there will be other people that you cross paths with.

That said, Brian’s Spanish Cove does have a few things available that I think make this resort seem quaint. For example, there’s a dock with lawn chairs for guests to enjoy the sunshine while also taking in the view of the lake. There are also activities like kayaks and paddle boats to enjoy. All of this, at least in our opinion, makes the resort feel like it has more going for it than you might anticipate it does at first glance.

Unfortunately, with such a short stay at Brian’s Spanish Cove we didn’t get to take part in any of the activities on the lake. However, we did see that there were people out there enjoying everything that the resort had to offer, which added to the  overall vibe of the resort as far as we were concerned.

Have you ever stayed at Brian’s Spanish Cove? We’d love to know what you thought!
