The RCI Gold Crown Resort® designation represents the highest level of recognition within the global resort recognition programme of RCI. The award is granted to affiliated resorts that consistently meet or exceed established quality benchmarks across areas including unit housekeeping, unit maintenance, hospitality, resort amenities and overall guest satisfaction.
According to RCI, the recognition programme is based on verified member feedback combined with operational evaluations. As a result, the Gold Crown designation is widely used by RCI members as a quality benchmark when selecting resorts that demonstrate reliability, strong maintenance standards and a guest-focused operating model.
Located in Orlando, Florida, Ascendant Holidays at Vista Cay Resort benefits from proximity to major leisure and business demand drivers. The resort is situated across from Universal Epic Universe, and is also close to key theme parks, convention centres, dining areas and entertainment districts. This positioning supports a mix of leisure, family, group and extended-stay demand.
The resort offers vacation-home-style accommodation with larger units designed to provide flexibility and comfort for different travel segments. The accommodation model is aimed at families, couples and groups seeking longer stays or space-driven alternatives to traditional hotel rooms, particularly within the Orlando market.
