Wyndham Orlando Resort
The Wyndham offers a tropical paradise in the middle of Orlando's tourist center. Lush gardens, high palms and a lagoon meander throughout the property and create a very romantic place for a nighttime jaunt. The two-story villas are quite spacious and give you separate bedrooms and a living area. The in-room safes are even big enough to leave your laptop securely behind while you go for a jog, play tennis or relax in any of the three pools. The well-protected small undulating greens of Eaglewood Golf Club are just 4.6 miles away.
