The resort is on the former Villas of Grand Cypress hotel, which is also just 10 miles away from Universal Orlando.

The first phase will include 1,500 bedrooms altogether, but the resort will eventually have 10,000 rooms.

At the Conrad Orlando hotel at Evermore, there will also be a spa and rooftop dining experience along with other restaurants and bars.

The eight-acre Crystal Lagoon will be the main attraction, which has sandy beaches, as well as water activities, bars and restaurants.

This includes first rope swings and cliff jumping area, a waterslide zone and a recreation hub with kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.

While prices are yet to be revealed, the resort hopes to open by 2023 with bookings opening from next year.

Due to its proximity to both theme parks, they will likely have deals and packages for families wanting to visit either of them.
