Cheryl and I met up with her cousin, Dorie in Orlando.
We stayed at the Marriott Cypress Harbour Resort in a time share suite. Oh my, what a beautiful place. The grounds were well maintained and the place was huge. The resort had all the amenities..something for everyone and for it's large size it was very quiet.
on both sides of the walkway entering the main check in building there are koi ponds ...I love koi.
in the clubhouse..a bar and piano in one area of the large room. There are also restaurants and a marketplace.
another part of the lounge in the clubhouse. There is also a huge salt water aquarium in this large room.
