The all-villa Saratoga resort at Maingate has one of those prized qualities in a bustling place like Orlando: a truly relaxed atmosphere. Set on 15 acres in Kissimmee, it's a real gem of a retreat and a great place to come back to after a day out. Patrons can enjoy taking dips in the blossom-shaped pool, kids can hop in their own pool, and there is an eight-person spa tub - all heated. Sporty types can enjoy the use of the half basketball court, the floodlit tennis court and the gym, which is stocked with cardiovascular machines and multigym equipment. There is also an independently operated miniature golf course adjacent to the resort's entrance. Guests can dine at the hotel's informal Island restaurant and shop for gifts, groceries, snacks and drinks at the mini-market. Other facilities include coin-operated laundry machines, a gift shop and convenience store, concierge assistance, room service, free parking, dry cleaning and a 24-hour front desk service.

The 150 villas, tastefully decorated in salmon colours and carpeted in greens and blues, are set on two levels amid beautiful landscaped gardens. Spacious and modern, these suites are attractively furnished in dark-coloured wood and feature exterior entrances, two bathrooms and fully-equipped kitchens. They all have patios with chairs and cocktail tables which enjoy views across the small fountained lake snaking through the centre of the resort. Extra features include cable TV, pay movies, individual climate control, ceiling fans, coffee makers, voicemail and hairdryers.
