Legoland Beach Retreat opening in April

Legoland Beach Retreat will welcome its first guests when it opens April 7, 2017. It’s a village-style vacation resort with 83 beach-themed bungalows offering 166 separate rooms, each with whimsical Lego décor inside and out.

The brightly colored bungalows are grouped into 13 “coves” named after popular Lego Minifigures. Each includes an outdoor play area with fun and challenging elements, all within view of the bungalows’ shaded patios, where mom and dad can relax while kids play.

Located about a half-mile from the theme park entrance, the site also features a central swimming pool and sandy play area, a buffet restaurant, pool bar, a giant Lego inspired lighthouse with a real rotating beacon and picturesque views of Lake Dexter.

Legoland Beach Retreat amenities include:
• 166 spacious rooms that sleep up to five, including an area designed just for kids with a bunk bed, trundle bed and privacy curtain.
• Sandy’s Castle Restaurant, located inside The Lighthouse and featuring a menu of entrees, sides and desserts designed to please the palates of kids and grownups alike. Breakfast is included with each night’s stay; lunch and dinner will be available without reservations.
• Bricks Beach Bar, offering a menu of made-to-order food, drinks and creative cocktails served poolside and inside The Lighthouse.
• Palm Tree Traders, a large retail shop stocked with Lego building sets and Minifigures, apparel, toys, swimwear, snacks and sundries.
• Complimentary parking in Legoland Florida Resort’s main parking lot.
• Early access to the theme park, with exclusive use of some of the most popular attractions, including Lego Ninjago World, opening Jan. 12, 2017.
