We stayed at Handlery for five nights, there were three of us. Staff were very friendly and helpful when we arrived, explaining about the area and how they had a shuttle etc. We booked to get the shuttle in the morning for SeaWorld. Also at the Handlery they have a ticket booking office which is a great service, we booked... More

We did a package with SW Airlines for this hotel they assured us it was a nice hotel. Well if you are in the gardenview or suites that may be the case, otherwise you are in seperate buildings overlooing the other buildings to the property. The rooms were noisy and very outdated, or shall we say the room we got?... More

The Handlery is nice, older Hotel. It has a complete resort feel. However, when I went to my room a room service tray was outside the door. I left and went to dinner. The food was good but the service left much to be desired - apparently they are not used to many customers, the one waiter appeared to be... More

At check in I was greeted by a girl named Erica. Greatest check in I've ever had. She met my every need and believe me I'm difficult. She gave us free parking and even arranged early check in. Dollar for dollar this is the best hotel I've stayed at. The pool is actually twelve feet deep at the deep end... More

The buildings and rooms are very dark, and they have a terrible smell. Peoples breakfast trays remained in the hallway most of the day with cleaning staff just... More

We were extremely happy with our stay. The people accommodations and food were all, dare I say, perfect! The person that stood out even more than all the other staff was the shuttle driver. All I got was his first name, Jeff. He went way beyond the call of duty to look after us.Our stay was extremely pleasant.
