Thank you to our Casino Night Corporate Sponsors including: 

This week, several lodging leaders from the CFHLA Board of Directors joined many of our valued Allied Partners for a fun day on the golf course at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.

 

While there was certainly some friendly competition along the way, the true value of the day was the opportunity to connect, share ideas, and build stronger relationships with Central Florida’s hospitality leaders.

 

Congratulations to the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites – Waterpark, on their newly expanded Surf & Splash Waterpark, where guests can now enjoy even more family-friendly attractions and experiences.

 

The resort has officially completed the expansion of its waterpark offerings with the addition of Aqua Cove, a new interactive splash zone featuring exciting water play elements and new slides designed for guests of all ages. The enhanced waterpark experience complements the resort’s existing attractions, including the popular Triple Tide Tower slides and the FlowRider® surf simulator, where guests can learn to ride the waves with guidance from trained instructors.

 

Beyond the water attractions, the resort continues to offer a variety of amenities through its Splash-Tastic experience, including interactive entertainment, hot tubs, food and beverage options, a basketball shot court, private cabanas, and spacious suite accommodations designed for families visiting the Orlando area.

 

Thank you to General Manager Kesa Roberson and Director of Sales Eddie Myers for taking the time to provide our team with a tour of the resort and congratulations on this new expansion to our destination!

This week, the CFHLA team was proud to host an official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate and welcome one of our newest CFHLA Member's - Game Show Battle Rooms Orlando - as they joined our hospitality community. Game Show Battle Rooms is now open and located on the first floor at Pointe Orlando, on I-Drive.

 

Following the ribbon cutting, our team stepped into the spotlight for an exciting team-building experience as we put our skills to the test in a series of fast-paced, interactive challenges inspired by classic television game shows. From trivia and teamwork to friendly competition and plenty of laughs, the experience will provide our local hospitality partners and guests with an energetic atmosphere, engaging hosts, and an immersive game-show that will create lasting memories.

 

A special thank you to General Manager Mike Fullum and the entire Game Show Battle Rooms team for their hospitality and for making our visit such a memorable experience. We encourage our members to consider this exciting venue for corporate team-building events, private parties, celebrations, and group gatherings. 

 

Congratulations again to Game Show Battle Rooms on its Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and thank you for being a part of the CFHLA family!
