Clarion Resort Waterpark in Kissimmee an Extra Perk for Hotel Guests

Located at the Clarion Resort Hotel in Kissimmee, Florida, near Orlando, the Clarion Resort Waterpark is a guest amenity at this mid-sized hotel, available for the use of all those staying at the Clarion. Situated at the intersection of US 192 and Florida's Turnpike, this resort is one of many along this corridor that cater to visitors who head to the Orlando area to enjoy the region's most popular attractions, which include both the Disney and Universal parks as well as SeaWorld.

Technically, this attraction is known as the Mindy'O Waterpark and its use is included with the price of any room at the Clarion Resort Hotel, a non-smoking hotel with 245 guest rooms. A pet-friendly hotel, the Clarion receives a 3-diamond rating from AAA and the waterpark is the main reason many families with children choose this particular accommodation when visiting the area.

The Mindy'O Waterpark is located directly on the Clarion property in a large area just outside the guestrooms. It measures about 50,000 square-feet in size and is open year round. Attractions at the waterpark include an expansive lagoon-style heated pool and a hot tub for relaxing or warming up on chillier Florida days or nights. A large lazy river flows into the pool and accommodates riders of any size who travel down the gently flowing body of water on large inner tubes.

The Clarion Resort Hotel Waterpark also includes a series of three story-high water slides that twist and turn as they make their way to the waters of the pool below. Some of the slides feature tunnels while others are totally open-air. There is also a body slide that does not empty into the pool but merely functions like a regular slide aided by jets of water.

In addition, there are also six kiddie slides for younger hotel guests, fountains where guests of all ages can play, an interactive water play area, and a handful of other water attractions that keep guests cool during hot Florida summers.

In addition to the waterpark at the Clarion Resort Hotel, other hotel amenities include a game room, an exercise gym/fitness area, high speed internet access, an onsite restaurant, and electrical hook-ups for RVs and hybrid cars. The hotel provides transportation to the hub of Walt Disney World free of charge and to other area attractions for a small fee. This hotel sits about 15 miles from Disney World so guests should plan accordingly for a 30 minute plus ride to the attraction, especially during busy times of the day.

Because of the waterpark and the noise created by it, this resort is best suited for families with children who don't mind an energetic atmosphere.
