Inside Paradise Palms Resort
Paradise Palms packs a lot into one gated, Bahama-style resort, and it still turns up among the best resorts in Orlando. Here's what's behind the gates.
How far is Paradise Palms Resort from the Orlando theme parks?
Paradise Palms sits in the Four Corners, which means four theme parks inside half an hour and a couple of day trips inside an hour and a half.
- Disney, about seven miles, fifteen minutes by car.
- Universal, Studios and Islands of Adventure both, seventeen miles, twenty-five to thirty.
- SeaWorld's around fifteen miles, twenty minutes or so.
- LEGOLAND over at Winter Haven, eighteen miles, half an hour.
- Day trip? Busch Gardens Tampa, seventy-five miles west, about seventy-five minutes.
Does Paradise Palms Resort have a cinema?
It does, and it's free. A proper little resort cinema with screenings through the day, no ticket, no booking, no leaving the gates.
- Usually three a day, around midday, mid-afternoon and early evening. Grab the schedule at check-in.
- No charge, no booking. Open to everyone staying.
- Family-rated films, so it works for all ages without a separate kids' showing.
- Theatre-style seating in the clubhouse.
- Best for a rest day, a storm afternoon, or a quieter night after the parks.
Do Paradise Palms villas have themed bedrooms?
Some do. Princess, superhero, Star Wars, sports, those are the usual ones, set by the owner and more common in the bigger villas.
- Selected villas only, not across the board.
- Great for families with young ones, where the holiday starts the second they see the room.
- They often come paired with a games room or a home cinema in the same villa.
- Quality varies a lot. A fresh themed room and a tired one aren't the same, so we check before we recommend.
- Comparing what different resorts throw in? Our Orlando villa holidays guide lines them up.
Where can you eat at Paradise Palms Resort?
Two spots on-site, which is the whole point on a day you can't face driving anywhere.
- The tiki bar and grill does hot food throughout the day, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, salads, with beer, wine and cocktails. Takeout too, and open later Thursday to Saturday.
- The Starbucks café handles the mornings, coffee, pastries, grab-and-go bits, and Hershey's ice cream later on.
- Want to cook instead? We'll get a grocery shop in before you land.
- Off-resort, Bahama Breeze and Olive Garden are ten minutes out.
What size villas does Paradise Palms Resort have?
Paradise Palms runs from three to six bedrooms, mostly townhomes and villas rather than big estates. Every one has its own pool and a full kitchen.

- The private pool's standard, screened and sun-decked.
- Heating's a chargeable add-on, sorted and priced at booking.
- January and February, an unheated pool can drop to 57–60°F, so it's worth it then.
