At the heart of the community is a large resort pool complex. Tuscana's community amenities include:
- Large heated swimming pool with a beach-style or zero-entry section
- Separate children's pool
- Hot tub/jet spa
- Spacious sun deck with loungers and shaded cabanas
- Fitness centre
- 30-seat movie theatre
- Clubhouse and guest facilities

Community amenities, opening hours and any charges are controlled by the resort and may change, so guests should confirm anything particularly important before travelling.
A Convenient ChampionsGate Location
Tuscana Resort is at 1351/1375 Tuscana Lane, just off Champions Gate Boulevard in Davenport, Florida. Its position close to the Champions Gate entrance to Interstate 4 makes it straightforward to reach Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld and many of Central Florida's other attractions.
Everyday essentials are especially convenient. Publix at Champions Gate Village is directly across Champions Gate Boulevard, making it easy to buy groceries, drinks, pharmacy items and freshly prepared food. A broader choice of shops is available at Posner Park, approximately four miles away, including Target, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Best Buy and a cinema.
We recommend hiring a car when staying at Tuscana Resort. Although shops and some restaurants are nearby, a car provides much more flexibility for theme-park days, shopping and exploring the wider Orlando area. Guests should also allow extra time at busy periods because journey times on Interstate 4 and the approaches to the parks can vary considerably.

Why Choose a Tuscana Resort Condo?
A condo at Tuscana Resort offers a useful balance: more living space and home comforts than a conventional hotel room, plus communal resort facilities that can be enjoyed on rest days. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout is especially convenient for families or friends travelling together, as guests have room to spread out and more bathroom space when everyone is getting ready for a day at the parks.
With a heated resort pool, children's facilities, convenient grocery shopping, a wide choice of nearby restaurants and Walt Disney World around 12–15 miles away, Tuscana Resort is a strong option for an Orlando holiday at any time of year.
