Aquatica, Sea World's new state-of-the-art water park, has finally arrived and Orlando theme park enthusiasts couldn't be more excited. As summer approaches, however, so does high season in Orlando and sifting through the many available Aquatica hotels to find the perfect one can prove to be difficult.

As wonderful as Sea World is, they have always been lacking in one thing - the ability to get soaked! With the completed construction of Aquatica right across the street, this problem is officially solved. Besides the impressive array of waterslides, lagoons and rivers, Aquatica;s signature slide that takes riders through a dolphin aquarium has already become the talk of the town.

Before booking Aquatica hotels, it is beneficial to take a few things into consideration in order to make the most of a trip to Orlando. Every hotel or resort has different amenities and it is important to find the perfect one to cater to each individual family.

Location

There are literally hundreds of Lake Buena Vista hotels that advertise themselves as being close to Sea World and Aquatica. When booking online, be sure to use the map features to determine exactly how many miles away they are from the actual attraction. When booking over the phone, ask the booking agent to confirm the distance. The best Aquatica hotels should be located within ten miles from the park. Traffic in the Orlando area can be congested and many roads have multiple stoplights - especially around the popular theme park areas.

Price

Price should never be a deciding factor when choosing the best Aquatica hotels in which to stay, but it definitely plays a part! As with all popular destinations, Orlando and Kissimmee hotels offer a wide array of pricing options. Families traveling on a budget should look for dependable national brands that offer clean, simple rooms.

Remember, a hotel that offers a full or continental breakfast may cost a bit more - but the cost is well worth it! The best Aquatica hotels not only provide a good night's sleep, but a hearty breakfast to keep the family powered up as they surf the rapids or attack the wave pools of the park.

Amenities

Families looking for Aquatica hotels that will enhance their overall vacation are not concerned with the cheapest Orlando or Kissimmee hotel options. These families need to research hotel amenities. A long exhausting day at a theme park such as Aquatica or Sea World is best met with a massage or gourmet dining experience.

Some families like to stretch their vacation days by taking some time off between theme parks. Aquatica hotels and resorts with activities like theme pools, miniature golf, gaming rooms, etc, are the best choice for an overall fun experience. Lastly, parents of small children may find their best Aquatica hotels include children's playgrounds or pools perfect for their little ones.

Visiting Orlando and Aquatica is an exciting adventure for families of all ages. Taking the time to research and choose the best hotel options simply means that there is one less thing to worry about when planning your vacation!
