WINTER HAVEN, Fla., (FNN NEWS) — Summer vacation lasts all year long at LEGOLAND Beach Retreat, all-new accommodations that give guests great new reasons to play — and stay — at LEGOLAND Florida Resort.
Under a beautiful blue sky, a cast of kid performers delivered a grand opening ceremony today set to the Beach Boys classic “Surfin’ Safari,” ending with a burst of fireworks and volleys of giant foam LEGO bricks.
Designed to resemble larger-than-life LEGO sets, 83 bungalows offer 166 separate rooms that sleep up to five, including a cozy area just for kids. They’re an ideal solution for families and groups traveling together. Each cove has its own outdoor play area within view of the bungalows’ shaded patios, where mom and dad can relax while kids romp and run.
Along with picturesque lake views and a giant LEGO lighthouse that really lights, highlights include:
- A giant swimming pool and an adjacent sandy area perfect for building sandcastles, plus the resort’s biggest outdoor play structure.
- Sandy’s Castle Restaurant, featuring a delicious menu of entrees, sides and desserts. A breakfast buffet is included with each stay.
- Bricks Beach Bar, offering an eclectic menu of made-to-order food, drinks and creative cocktails served poolside and indoors.
- A hands-on LEGO building station where kids can contribute original creations to a huge sandcastle made out of thousands of LEGO bricks.
- Free Wi-Fi.
- Complimentary transportation to the LEGOLAND Florida theme park.
- Early theme park access.
