With the amusement park being reopened recently, we capitalized on the opportunity to reserve one night stay at the Disney Explorer's Lodge, reserving for the Adventurous Suite along with the connecting room with our family friends.

From the moment we arrived, we immediately knew we were in good hands of the team there. Karl was such an amazing host and showed us the way to our suite, he was very interactive with the children, and also explained the design and features of the suite in great detail. The suite itself was exceptionally spacious and the decorations were well thought out, and with a lot of hidden surprises for the little ones.

Our package came with in room breakfast as well so it allowed us to slightly sleep in the following day, food was neatly presented and very tasteful! Our little ones received Mickey Dolls as souvenirs which we truly appreciated! The suite itself was equipped with premium amenities (tent, Monopoly, an extensive list of DVD's) and entertainment games. Additional perks included the Disney themed Jeep which brought us directly to/from the amusement park (unlimited trips), and canapés and snacks in our suite. Moreover, a kid's corner (playroom) was also available beside the restaurant and we took advantage of this after our dinner, the kids had a whole lot of fun before heading to bed.

During our stay, we were also warmly greeted by Joe, the Front Office Manager and he was very hospitable and genuine, and despite his busy schedule, we appreciate him taking his time to meet us.

All in all, we were truly amazed with our experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who intend to visit the park and with a less tense schedule with an one night stay (Highly recommend family and friends to directly reserve for the Adventurous Suite and even the connecting room if traveling with a larger number of guests). Thanks for the team's hospitality in particular, Joe and Karl who really look after us, we will be back!

The hotel lobby is good. It is adventure-themed. Ocean scent air freshener is used and it smells good. It is well-garnished with chandeliers and many other decorations. During check-in, the staff is very friendly and patient. There are also staff roaming around and proactively offering help to visitors. The toilet in the lobby is very clean. The only thing that I would nitpick about is the size of the lobby and that of the gift shop within it. The gift shop offers fewer items than the gift shops within the Disney park. Although the lobby is bright and spacious, it could be even bigger in my opinion.

The room we got is on the top floor (8th) and has two beds. Despite a lack of sea view (instead, it has a view of a certain part of the hotel, a garden and a parking lot), it is still totally fine because of the interior of the hotel room. There is a large wardrobe at the end of the entrance, and on the right is an open sink without a door. Next to the sink is a toilet and a shower enclosed behind a door. If you think having an open sink next to your bed (with a wooden barrier in between) is unbearable, then perhaps this hotel is not for you (not sure about other types of rooms, please do your own research). All of these amenities are neat and tidy. The cleaning products (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) are not in tiny bottles but are in reused bottles fixed within a metal rack inside the shower. Slippers and two bottles of water are gifted. There is also some kind of gifts on the table between the two beds. There are 3-4 power sockets within the room. The television screen is wide and long. Similar to the lobby, the room is also adventure-themed. Overall, the room is up to my standards, and Disney has done a great job.

The greatest thing about this hotel is actually the outdoors. The landscape design across the gardens surrounding the hotel is done very well, compared to ordinary premises. Different types of flowers and trees are planted everywhere. At the heart of the hotel is a swimming pool hidden well by foliage. Due to safety measures imposed during the pandemic, the pool only allows 60 people for now. Around the pool is many more trees and bushes and also some boulders. The boulders create a pond, a waterfall and so much more scenery. The greatest thing of all is the part of the garden near the ocean. It has a breathtaking sea view (although fenced off by the hotel boundaries) and perfectly manicured grass lawns. The lawns have some knolls, which make them even better and more natural. Lounging there under the sun is a very pleasant and memorable experience (especially if you are acclimatized to living in a city and seldom experience nature). Not sure if this is right, but you may ask for scooters to be ridden on the garden paths, and badminton rackets or footballs to be played on the lawns. This is what really qualifies this hotel as a part of the Disneyland "Resort".

This hotel is really good for families and kids. There are many kids running around the lobby.

The hotel is really great overall.

I didn’t realise my air conditioning was not working until I came back from Disneyland. I called Front Desk to arrange room change, thank you housekeeping manager Connie came up apologise to me in the new room with some special gift even not their fault as engineer team was not available at that time. The entire housekeeping team super professional and friendly, room were super clean. Something that surprise me was HSK team will turn off the vacuum & greet with you when you walk pass then continue with their work which other 5 stars hotel might not provide the same. Overall experience were super good, but they might consider focus more resources in front desk & back end with customer support & request.
