Comment: The house was great, really clean and welcoming.You need to get an ironing board, as I couldn't find one, but all the appliances were fine. I nearly sneaked the quilt from the main bedroom home!!!! How beautiful. The complex was good, the pool area great. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. They even checked us in for the return flight.  Thank you very much for fitting us in at such short notice and we wish you lots of guests in the future. Regards Andy & Cheryl

This was our first booking, we have now replaced the ironing board.  I am so pleased you had a great stay in Villa Betty Boo.

Comment: I was apprehensive at first to go there, because they had a good rate compared to a lot of others I'd been quoted and it was new. We were pleasantly surprised. The property was beautiful and spotless. Everything seemed new or relatively new. We had a snafu with the power the first night and their emergency contact addressed it asap.
Disney is 15min and Universal about 25min if you don't know where u're going.
Kids and I loved the cool lazy river pool area and slide. The staff says the pool is heated, but I must have thin blood; it was warmish, but frequent trips to the jacuzzi helped. Exercise room is nice with new equip. Nice backyard with an old, but usable grill. I recommend bringing some balls and stuff for outdoor play too. Bring everything they suggest on their website for your needs (bar soap, garbage bags etc.). They have towels, plates and pots/pans.
A toy sized washer/dryer are in the unit, but they are convenient.
Bring your own games. The gameroom is ok, but the games are not free. Also have daily poolside light activities/entertainment.

There is no internet access from the room. You can get free internet access at the clubhouse with your own computer, but there's a charge if you choose to use their terminals.

Overall, can't beat the value and comfort of having everyone in the same place. They had a breakfast buffet for about $8/per.
Publix is a couple blocks down the street.

We will be back!

Comment: RE : Villa Betty Boo2 at Regal Palms, ref no. 36288. 26th Nov - 3rd Dec The review:

 Beautiful property. My friend and I went to Florida for a girly trip to do our Christmas shopping. Regal Palms resort is excellent and so convenient for shops, takeaways and restaurants/bars, some within walking distance, whioch is a bonus in Florida! The pool area was great and not too busy. Villa Betty Boo2 was lovely. Accommodation very comfortable and spacious. House was very clean and well presented. Would have been nice to have a welcome pack telling us a bit more about facilities at Regal Palms and surrounding area. Couldn't reprogramme the safe as someone hadn't left it unlocked when they left. However this was only a small inconveneience and not used to having a safe in villa anyway. Would definitely recommend to friends and hope to stay there again next year.

Comment:  "This was a beautiful home! It felt like the closest thing to actually being home. It was the Christmas Holidays and my daughter, who arrived earlier by a few days, surprised us by having the outside and inside decorated, even having a small Christmas Tree. We also had the opportunity to spend Christmas with my sister and her husband, something we have not able to do for several years. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation, made even better by this lovely home. Rita and family"

Comment: My mother at 71 and my granddaughter at 3 enjoyed the property. We had a wonderful time. It was perfect for our family."

"Dear Bernie We just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had on our recent stay at Villa Betty Boo 2. First impression was it was so clean and like brand new. Everything we could need was there and more. The complex itself is first class - the pool was so good we almost didn't go to Disney! We ate a couple of times on the terrace and were not disappointed. Everything was just as the photos on the website - the beds were so comfortable. There was iron & an ironing board (a previous review mentioned there wasn't) Bernie, thank you so much for letting us check out late when our flight was delayed, you were an angel. PS - I think there must have been a change of staff as the ones we met were very friendly and more than happy to help. We will be back!!"

"The property was in excellent condition, clean, comfortable and ideally located to both local amenities. 2 min walk to pool, bar, gym & spa. 8 min walk to local shops & restaurants. All Orlando area attractions within simple recah by car. I would highly recommend this property to all wishing to be in the Orlando region. The owners were also extremely helpful and we would not think twice about using the same property should we return to the location."

Value: Excellent , Met expectations:Exceeded them , Recommend: Definitely , Overall: Excellent

Comment: "Overall staff at resort could have been more helpful. The villa itself was lovely and the ammenities were great. Could not figure out how to change air-conditioning thermostat, so just dealed with it. Overall a great bargain for the area!"

There have been some staff changes at the resort so hopefully this is now resolved.  With regards to the thermostat, had you contacted my management they would have gone straight around to sort it out for you. Pleased you enjoyed your stay at Villa Betty Boo.
