Comfortable bed and beautiful decor

Stayed in the River Island buildings and the beds are very comfortable and the rooms are beautiful. Love the décor and the colors, very updated and new and clean. The pool area was great too just really needs more umbrella's for shade and the pool deck is extremely slippery and get's skin burning hot you can't walk without shoes but shoe's make it even more slippery. Also could use some poolside music or dj would be nice. Over all though a great time and we look forward to going back in 4 months :)

excellent

Excellent..does not begin to describe how i feel about my stay....Everything was awesome....i loved it and will be back again in June!!!

Well appointed rooms

Enjoyed the entire experience. I think if the pools were situated between buildings it would better, one pool per village is not enough.

POOR MAINTENANCE AND HORRENDOUS ODOR

THE SAFE, ONE BURNER OF THE STOVE AND HAIR DRYER DID NOT WORK. I WAS STUCK FOR OVER TWO HOURS WAITING FOR THE SAFE TO BE FIXED. THE HAIR DRYER WAS NOT REPAIRED TILL THE NEXT DAY. A HORRENDOUS ODOR STARTED AT DUSK MY SECOND DAY AND CONTINUED FOR TWO MORE DAYS. THE ODOR WAS OUTSIDE THE ENTIRE BUILDING AND EVERY OCCUPANT I ENCOUNTERED MADE THE SAME COMMENT. THE SMELL WAS OVERPOWERING AND MADE GOING TO THE PARKING LOT OR STAYING ON THE BALCONIES OR ENCLOSED PATIOS IMPOSSIBLE. THE MAINTENANCE OF THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE HAS BEEN GROSSLY NEGLECTED . THERE ARE CERAMIC ROOF TILES EITHER BROKEN OR MISSING AS VIEWED FROM THE LANDING OVER LOOKIING THE ENTRANCE WAY ROOF.

My stay

Overall stay was great. Didn't have enough time to experience everything offered at the resort.

orlando vacation

Great place for the price 2bedroom villa was great....

A great place for families

I have stayed three times at this resort over past five years. Consistently found it to have clean and spacious rooms, great facilities and a welcoming staff. As a Platinum Priority Club member, I have stayed in lots of hotels. From a value perspective, this is a hard one to beat!

pleasant and affordable.

We stayed on 5/22/13-5/27/13 in unit 5512 & 5513. I was totally surprised at the units. I had stayed 15 years ago and was afraid the property would be outdated. The units was very updated and comfortable, decorated nicely, and affordable. I would recommend this property the area is building up a target, ross, dollar tree, several resturants soon coming. The only drawbacks we had was the dumpster was in front of our building which bugs and unpleasant odors were present. But the dumpster was emptied quite often. The checkin was a breeze.

Great all around!

We spent four days in a 2/2 villa. It had all the upgrades including a full kitchen, granite, Washer/Dryer, lake view, etc. You can not get that for the price we paid anywhere! Trust me I searched! To add icing to the cake it includes a free water park! You can walk right to a lazy river and hang out in the water and slides all day. I personally loved the hammocks, I felt like i was on an island. There were enough other people around but not crowded to where you couldn't enjoy your privacy. The whole resort is just a beautiful place, well kept and really big! The staff is really nice in every department. It is a timeshare so they will try to sell you, if you don't want to just say "no" but if you have the time to give them an ear they give away cash! You could listen to them for 90 mins and get back the cost of one nights stay! I think it's worth it, and you get a nice tour of everything there is to do there. I loved it there, recommended it to my whole family. Oh oh, even with the nights stay already cheap, you can fit 8 people in that room, if each pays a portion you can pay as little as teens each person! what!! Book early to save, for sure! Stay here, you'll love it.

Platnium Member: I will not stay here again: Great resort but bad ending

I brought my wife and kids to this resort as I was attending a trade show in the area and we loved the pools and the whole property of the resort. Purchasing items at the resort was a bit expensive but that was expected. Pushy time share people at the start but you can get over that. I have to say that the end of our stay was the most unpleasant. Check out time is 10 am and as we have two young ones that are still on pacific time this would prove to be hard to wake them up and get everything packed and clean to leave. I called to get a extended stay which is a guarantee for platinum members and was told they will not offer that to me. I asked to speak to the manager and she told me that they are maxed out on extended check outs so she will not help me out. I have been a platinum member for over 7 years and this is the worst service I have ever had upon checkout. For this reason alone I will not stay at Holiday Inn Orange Lake Resort ever again.
