Best for families or groups who want full kitchens, private screened pools and flexible multi-bedroom homes.

Best for travelers who want a full-service luxury hotel experience near Walt Disney World with a spa, golf access and multiple on-site dining options.
When Solterra Resort wins: choose Solterra if you need multiple bedrooms, a private villa with a kitchen or private screened pool, or a family-friendly layout for a big group. The villa format and clubhouse make it better for self-catered stays and flexible group arrangements.
When Waldorf Astoria Orlando wins: choose Waldorf Astoria for a traditional luxury hotel stay—full concierge, a signature spa, on-site fine-dining and easier proximity to Disney parks and Disney Springs. It’s the simpler choice for guests who prefer hotel services to managing a rental home.
Bottom line: both work for an Orlando-area visit. Pick Solterra for space, private pools and a self-catering family stay; pick the Waldorf Astoria for polished hotel service, spa and golf in a Disney-adjacent location.
