Reunion - A Salamander
Golf and Spa Resort
The Legacy Golf Course at the Reunion Resort outside Orlando was designed by Arnold Palmer.
Reunion Resort is the sister property to our own
Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor. Reunion is located
just west of Orlando off I-4, conveniently close to Walt
Disney World and Orlando’s other attractions. Built
on 2,300 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the resort
boasts 360 unique accommodations that range from luxury
suites with fully equipped kitchens, washers and dryers in the
eleven-story Reunion Grande to a mix of condos, multi-room
villas and private homes in 13 different “neighborhoods.”
Golf is the top attraction at Reunion with three signature
championship golf courses designed by different golf legends.
Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson have each laid
out a course that they considered would be a challenge to play.
In addition to golf, there is a wonderful small and intimate,
full-service spa, which offers top-flight services from expert
practitioners within a quaint Colonial home. Five hydro-grid
clay tennis courts, a five-acre water park with a winding
150-foot flume slide, a rooftop pool, a 1,000-foot lazy river and
a playground, as well as jogging, hiking and biking trails are
available for fun and relaxation on the resort’s property. Added

to this is the Seven Eagles recreation area with a sloped-entry
pool, spa tubs, a game room with billiards and ping pong, plus
a fitness center and a bar.
The resort also has several wonderful restaurants in its crown
jewel, The Reunion Grande. On the lobby floor, Forte, an authentic
Italian Bistro, offers family-style dining. It is delightfully different,
while still maintaining traditional-style offerings. On the top floor,
Eleven serves an eclectic fusion of new world and contemporary
American cuisine. The view from this restaurant and lounge
overlooks Disney World and its nightly fireworks displays. At
the Reunion clubhouse, there is a casual-style restaurant that
serves a wonderful breakfast buffet, or you can order a la carte
from their extensive menu.
Whether you prefer golfing, indulging in spa treatments,
dining, or just relaxing, we consider Reunion to be the perfect
nearby “staycation.” 9
