Relaxing in Orlando
First of all I must declare that I love Orlando. It is just a great place to escape from the daily fare of work and business worries and travel to some fantasy land where all you worry about is where eat your turkey leg, which themepark to choose and how to optimize the time in the lines (damn, I am an engineer after all...cant help it).
My favorite way of enjoying Orlando is going there for 4 days, stay somewhere close to Universal (since Islands of Adventure is my favorite theme park ever), rent a convertible, go to Cirque du Soleil and have a good time at night at the Universal City Walk eaty unhealthy food, drinking those weird colorful cocktails and listening to whatever is playing in the Hard Rock Cafe.
It is an excellent way to relax for a long weekend and it is close enough to Lima that I dont have to spend a whole day getting there. Overall, one of my favorite destinations for what I would call fast and furious relaxation time.

The Doubltree at the Entrance to Universal Orlando just as its name says is right across the street from the Universal Resort in Florida and is a 5 minute ride away from the parking lots serving both Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure theme parks. While Disney is a bit further, the way there is very direct and is it only takes some 15 minutes to get there.
Overall, the location is great, the prices are much cheaper that at any hotel of this quality located inside either Disney or Universal resort and the rooms are big, clean and nice overall.
We got an amazing price through our travel agent which was 50% cheaper than the official online rate and was just $20 more expensive than the nearby motels that in no way can compare in quality. Overall I would definetly stay at this hotel again whenever I am in the Orlando area.
