Orange Lake ResortRental Guest Reviews

Orange Lake visit March 2015

Our vacation was great due in part to great weather and staying at a wonderful resort (Orange Lake). This is our 3rd trip since we became timeshare owners and we will come back every year! Orange Lake has bright, clean condo units that contain everything we need for a family vacation. Even the beds are comfortable! We also loved the convenience of having a washer/dryer right in our own unit as it helped us pack "light" so we could use the spare room in our suitcases for shopping at the nearby outlet malls :) Another great feature of Orange Lake is the restaurants onsite - some days we didn't feel like cooking or driving anywhere so we stayed and ate at the resort. Good food and very convenient - plus, the free shuttle bus is a bonus so you don't have to drive if your condo is further away from the main areas.

good resort plenty of room

nice room didn't really spend much time there very clean close to everything 3 bedroom villas great for big familys

Disney Baseball

Great property and location. Very convenient to all the parks. Very quite and relaxing. Staff is very friendly and very helpful.

Beautiful Resort

The lines were extremely long fur check- in, went very fast though were very accommodating, my only negative was I didn't receive daily room cleaning , maybe I had to request that?

Great Vacation

Second stay at the Resort and again a very enjoyable stay. The accommodation was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed the property especially the pools. Would recommend this resort for families or couples as there are many things to do on the resort and close to many Theme Parks.

Lots of Fun

Our second time here. Lots of fun. Able to spend several days at the resort without even leaving! Dust bunnies under furniture. Avoided the timeshare presentation our first visit. Did it this time. Worth the time for the gift we received. Gentleman told us it would be 90 min of our time but it ended up being 2 hrs and 15 min with me pushing it along. I was going to go alone but we were required to have the family go; this presentation is not really kid friendly as it is long and boring for the kids. Staff responded quickly to any concern or question during our stay Unfortunately, the extras cost a lot of money (hippo slide, puttputt, water sports, tube for lazy river).

Comfortable unit but getting tired and worn,particularly appliances

Orange Lake is a beautiful resort overall. The activities and upkeep of the pools etc are excellent. The staff is excellent and have been well trained to respond to members positively, particularly when they are frustrated. After spending 3 weeks and moving into my 4th week, it is extremely frustrating to put up with a 20 year old stove and fridge. The staff responded immediately to my calls about the stove losing heat, the door not closing tightly. They made adjustments but it was obvious after weeks of cooking , I still had to raise the temperature 100 degrees above cooking requirements and had to put a chair up against the door to cook my families' meals. This is simply not acceptable in a resort of this caliber .There were several problems with the fridge that my husband took care of . The rug in the living room is very spotted and requires full cleaning. The design of these units are better than most resorts. It is enjoyable to stay for the long term but this feeling will change if actions are not taken and real issues expressed are ignored. I felt very frustrated during my stay at Orange Lake. I have stayed here several times and have never experienced the feeling that maintenance and replacements are being ignored. Certainly disappointing when our expectations were so high after our previous stays.

3 bedroom units were very comfortable and clean.

Great location and great property. Condos were clean, ready on time, and well appointed with an excellent staff. A couple of minor details that we requested were very quickly addressed and I would definitely recommend this property for a golf vacation lodging site. The course we played there on property was excellent as well!

Most of the staff were not very friendly

Nice place and location overall however the staff was not very friendly and it was hard to get a T time. May stay again but would probably check and see what else is in the area. We stayed for 6 days and the room was never cleaned since they said we did not stay long enough. Ran out of dish soap, garbage bags etc and had to go to the store and buy more. Again over all it was nice and I would rate it about a 3.5

NOT A BAD PLACE TO STAY

We booked a stay here to visit Disney. We booked a two bedroom villa. The room wasn't anything particularly fancy; but it was clean and functional. The facility is gated and appears clean and safe. It is located out of the hustle and bustle of Orlando; but very convenient to Disney. There is a lot to do at the resort; but we did not take advantage of it all. I would stay here again because it felt very comfortable to me.
