Pretty Nice Place

This is our second time staying at this resort. The first time, last February, was pretty good so we figured we would try it again. Overall it was a good experience, with some pros and cons. Pros: Unlike some people's report, we didn't get hounded at check-in or later regarding time share solicitations. This might have just been our luck, since recent reviews indicate it isn't a change in practice. But in our case, I was happy to see they just let us enjoy our vacation. The resort staff seemed friendly enough. After a couple hours of waiting (we did arrive very early), someone at the front desk was kind enough to move us to a room that was ready, which we were grateful for. We were only here for a couple days so didn't get a chance to do much at the resort, but we did have lunch at the poolside restaurant and the food and service was good. Our rooms were fairly clean (see below) and comfortable. No issues there. Cons: Last time we really enjoyed renting a boat, and it was a highlight of this resort since Disney hotels seem to have stopped this benefit. Unfortunately, when we went to go do this, the boat rental building was closed with no indication of why. Maybe because it was a bit cold (60F)? If so, which is a bit silly, a sign to indicate such would have been nice. We came back a couple hours later and still closed. Pretty disappointed. The room, while mostly clean, had dirty floors throughout. I'm pretty sure it wasn't vacuumed at all prior to our arrival. We did it ourselves and when we left it looked cleaned then when we arrived. Either housekeeping forgot or didn't think we would notice (we did!). Didn't complain or engage management since it was trivial, but was still a bit concerning and made us thoroughly check the rest of the suite for issues (none found). So overall, a pretty good experience.

great resort

orange lake is always clean and such a relaxing resort. close to the action but feels like a secluded getaway.

Great place to real and unwind

This resort has it all! It is above and beyond all expectations. The staff is well trained and very responsive to all of your needs. I would highly recommend this resort for your next vacation

my vacation experience

I forgot to mention u go on vacation and at 9;30 in the morning they call me and wake us up asking about our experience , I totally told her to call me back , they never did so I have no idea about what she was calling for all I know, they woke me up, sad part horrible cold and rainy weekend

Nice rooms

We only stayed one night, coming in late and checking out early, but the rooms were large and beds comfortable.

Excellent Resort

The villas are awesome,I wish we could spend more time there!

Great surprise on a business stay - Family trip next time

While I visited for business, I was amazed by the amenities offered for all travelers particularly families with children. A day at the resort is better, and cheaper, than a day at many local attractions - and you always have your room to go back to for food and a nap.

Large room size

The size and cleanliness of the room pleased both my wife and me. We were somewhat disturbed at the parking since we are so used to parking in front of our villas at the West or North Village.

Comfort and convenience

We just returned from a lovely six-day stay at Orange Lake Resort. Our accomodations helped make this a dream vacation. We spent a great deal of time on the Disney properties, and the proximity of Orange Lake was wonderful. The facility had a full kitchen that allowed us to breakfast before we left for Disney and often have dinner when we returned. The size of our unit gave all four family members space to relax and enjoy down-time. The pools also provided one more diversion that gave the children something fun to do. Two of our friends had recommended Orange Lake and they were right on target!

Best place to stay for Disney trip

I started going to Orange Lake a few years back with some friends for the Disney Marathon weekend in January. I have been going back every year since then. It is so close to everything and easy to get to. I love having a full kitchen to prepare meals in and a grocery store nearby. The staff onsite are great. They are friendly and accommodating. The variety of options for entertainment on the property is amazing. So many pools to pick from and restaurants too. Everything you could possibly need is right at Orange Lake.
