Rising over 500 acres of Orlando woodlands, the Wyndham Grand Resort Bonnet Creek offers travelers a sophisticated, Mediterranean-inspired retreat close to some of the city's top theme parks.

Undercutting other nearby resorts by $50 or more, guests can stay Sundays-Thursdays through Dec. 20 for $139-$149 per night. Rooms come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and two queen beds or one king bed with sleeper sofa.

Perched on a lake in the Bonnet Creek nature preserve, the 4-star resort has a full-service spa, lagoon-style pool and a seafood grill. The resort is minutes away from Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, and can arrange shuttle service to area attractions.

Note: These rates are refundable. On select dates, rates as low as $125 per night are available for non-refundable reservations.
