Hotel Features. The Sheraton Safari Hotel Lake Buena Vista presents unusual hotel offerings like an alligator in a glass case, a macaw on a stand and African artworks and handicrafts displayed throughout the lobby. The hotel features an impressive water complex where a 79-foot python-shaped slide begins at the top of a rock formation. Sliders fall through the python's tunnel-like body and splash down beneath its huge head. The complex also includes a large pool, a 12-foot-diameter children's pool and a spa tub in a secluded tropical garden. Other garden features include a shaded playground and a wooden bridge over a goldfish pond. The Zanzibar Lounge serves lunch and dinner inside or outside in a thatched-roof gazebo. Casablanca's, connected to the lounge, offers buffet-style breakfasts and à la carte dinners. The poolside Monkey Bar is available for snacks and cocktails. Hotel concierge staff offer discounted theme park tickets in the lobby.

Guestrooms. Guestrooms continue the hotel's safari theme with animal-print patterns and artwork in warm earth tones. Guestrooms include high-speed Internet access. Laptop-compatible, in-room safes are provided.
