Hidden jem

I want to say was very shocked and surprised at this get away. Room was beautiful and well laid out. Only thing I can complain about was lack of kid friendly dishware. And nothing to vacuum or clean little crumbs. One of those little push vac would have been a treasure as I like things to stay neat. Truly had a wonderful stay and look to stay someplace like this again. Have a wedding in Texas coming up will be sure and check if holiday inn has such a treasure there? Close to so much wasn't far to parks or places to eat and enjoy. Mall and shops just down the street as well as grocery store few blocks away. Perfect get away . Only reason for the lesser rate by was as I ment not kid friendly dishware.

Great resort

Excellent all-around resort. All positives except for aggressive sales pitch for timeshare at check-in. A firm "no thank you" was all that was needed.

Need more knowledgeable staff

Overall a great experience. However there where two things that were very important to us that they failed on. One, I could not get a coherent answer on the "stay and play golf package". I got a lot of misinformation. We chose OL just for the golf. Two, we wanted to find a restaurant and entertainment outside the resort and no one seemed to know anything about the Orlando entertainment scene. These two things were very important to us and was a big disappointment. For these reasons we probably will chose another resort in the future and we are a group that goes on a golf outing at least once a month to warmer climates in the winter.

Great place

Very nice resort though quite a large area to drive around. Units were very large, nicely decorated. Comfy beds. Enjoyed the screened patio and view do golf course. Would stay again.

Great for families

We stayed at Orange Lake Resort Dec. 29, 2014-Jan. 2, 2015. We had two attached villas, right across from the registration center. The location was perfect. We had two adults and two children in each villa. Even with a rainy week, and 4 out of the 8 getting sick we still had a wonderful vacation. We would definitely stay here again. My only complaints were that the bathrooms were quite small. Not much anyone can do about that. The second complaint was that the dishwashers were so noisy that we had to remember to run them during the day, rather than at night. And the last complaint was that when we were packing to leave and I checked under the bed, I found a half eaten lollipop which did not belong to use. I will check under the beds when we arrive from now on. One more item is that even though I asked repeatedly, I never received a printout of the final bill. The amount charged to my credit card was correct, but I would have liked to see the final bill. I would definitely recommend this resort. Because we also visited two theme parks, we didn't have time to make use of all the amenities. You really don't have to leave this property to have a good time.

Place like home

I love this resort....spacious rooms, comfortable beds and You find everything you need...just like home.

Another great stay

I had a hard time leaving this property last year because it is so comfortable and fun. Found I had the same reluctance to go this year also. The grounds are beautiful, suites are fresh clean and comfortable, bed is like sleeping on a cloud and best of all are the pools. My favorite being the one at the club house. Some days were quite chilly but the pool was always warm and inviting. I only left 2 weeks ago but am already looking forward to returning again next year.

HardSav

Our stay here was great! We planned our first Disney trip and stayed here. We loved NOT staying inside the park because you are stuck so to speak. We stayed in one of the villas and cooked in bc everything we needed was provided plus Publix grocery store right up the street. Also 24hr Walgreen right across the street that sells everything Disney including collector pins for fraction of cost. There is a target, dollar tree, TJMaxx, Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse, bonefish, bahama breeze, panera bread, just to name a few!! Be sure to bring a backpack to fill with sandwiches and snacks. Fast food in WDW is not that great. We enjoyed our own lunch and splurged on popcorn, icecream, slush etc. well worth it. Also don't buy meal plan if staying outside the park. We ate breakfast in and made reservations only for Chef Mickeys (Highly rec), shulas steakhouse (worth it) and whispering canyon cafe which is loud and geared toward kids. Other nights we ate at Olive Garden or in. Pool and hottub was a nice treat after walking around all day. Also market at resort has Starbucks, ice-cream, gifts, basically anything u need but w Walgreens open 24 hrs we didn't need much. Ask yourself this, would u rather kick back in a home away from home or stay inside park and sit on end of hotel bed with kids all over the room while u try to watch TV at triple the price??? Big savings here for our family of five. I came home with clean laundry too bc that's also inside the two room villa!!

Vacation Stop

We were only there for 2 nights and stayed at the lazy river area. The room did adjoin another and we could hear clear talking there however, it did not resinate to the bedroom area so that was very quiet. The room was the fastest away from the elevator and I had a bad leg so it was quite a strain to do that walk. I did not ask for a move since it was just 2 nights.

vacation

had a great time even though the weather was cool. I think they should change their menus and run some specials at breezes thank you
