Themed Bedrooms: The kids will marvel at the three over-the-top themed bedrooms (one on the first floor and two upstairs) that double as playrooms. Each one is a creative masterpiece and imaginative wonderland.
First up is the Sports Palace room–the special “12th Bedroom” in the house, and easily the most elaborate and spacious. Capture the hearts of your aspiring athletes with this room’s stadium-style bunk beds, colorful décor, and a super slide. Playtime here is a major sporting event for your little MVPs, and bedtime is stress-free because kids will never want to leave this sporty hideout.
In the Enchanted Forest room, kids will love exploring an alpine wonderland of cozy cottages (aka bunk beds), ladders, and fanciful wall art that will remind them of their favorite snow-princess movie. Make-believe has never been more fun, and bedtime is cozy and inviting in this Nordic fairyland.
The Secret Galaxy room will transport them to an incredible forest moon complete with mountains in the distance and a green jungle overhead. They’ll love hanging out in this lush hideaway with its “treehouse” bunk beds, woodland wall art, and river-like slide—all reminiscent of beloved blockbuster sci-fi movies.
Bedrooms (King, Queen, & Full): Nine additional exquisite bedrooms with en suite baths cater to grownup tastes with sleek Contemporary décor and every comfort imaginable. You’ll find three on the first floor and six upstairs—each one providing the space, privacy, and relaxation that vacations are all about.
Adjoining all the master bedrooms, the spacious master baths are appointed with the finest materials and offer tubs and showers, double sink vanities, and walk-in closets. Downstairs, the master queen bedroom features a double-door walkout to the pool area.

Featured Villas
See all accommodation
Pool & spa heat is available for a daily add-on fee. Once heated, pool temperatures are set to reach 82-86 degrees Fahrenheit; spas are set to reach 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Depending on the weather, it can take up to 24 hours to heat the pool, so it is recommended that you reserve pool heat in advance of your stay if you’d like to add this service.
No, pool heat distributes heat to both the pool and the spa simultaneously; the spa will not be warm if pool heat isn’t turned on. Turn the manual timer on the lanai wall to turn on the spa jets and heat the spa up to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. When the jets are on, the heat will be directed toward the spa and away from the pool. Note that the spas are not “hot tubs”; they will not reach temperatures usually associated with hot tubs and cannot be heated on their own, separate from the pool.
‘Cold fronts’ in the winter months (i.e. temps below 60 degrees) can cause the pool equipment to stop functioning; this does not constitute mechanical failure and refunds for pool heat will not be issued.
Yes, every pool at Villatel Village features a spa.
Yes, all of our pools are equipped with a child-friendly safety gate between the lanai and the pool area.
To make sure you have the smoothest trip possible, we recommend renting a car after you arrive from any of the major car rental companies. It’s the quickest and easiest way to get to all of your Orlando vacation destinations, as well as shopping and restaurants. And the rental companies are located right inside the airport, so you don’t have to waste a minute on a shuttle.
Up to 5 cars are permitted per reservation.
If you’ve reserved a 6-bedroom villa, you can park 2-3 standard size cars in the driveway. 11- and 12- bedroom units fit up to 5 standard size cars in the driveway. If extra parking is needed, there are designated street parking spots throughout Solterra Resort (marked by white lines). These overflow spots are not located within the Villatel Village neighborhood of the resort; they are ~.5 - 1 mile away. Cars parked on the grass or blocking a driveway/sidewalk will be towed. Every car MUST obtain a parking pass upon entry into the community from the front gate and always display it on their dashboard. RVs, large vans, tractors, and buses are not permitted inside the resort.
Please place bagged trash in the bin outside your villa for collection. Pick-up begins as early as 6am, so please plan accordingly for same-day pick-ups. Loose trash will not be picked up; please ensure all trash is bagged and properly tied up.
