Orange Lake ResortRental Guest Reviews

wonderful resort

I was so impressed with the overall visit. The rooms were very clean.Everything was organized and arranged so well. There were phone messages everyday reminding you of activities for the day.The grounds were so amazing it was like living in your own little world you would never have to leave the resort for anything if you didn't want to. Outside resort you are close to everything including Walt Disney World. The water park inside resort was crazy big and the golf course were beautiful . I will stay here again no doubt about it.

Great Amenities, Close to WDW

Fabulous place to stay, very close to WDW and Universal Studios. Did not take advantage of al the amenities at the resort, but will plan to return and spend more time next time. Was not happy with the sales pitch to obtain discount tickets. Was promised presentation would last 90 minutes. Made myself perfectly clear I was not intereseted in purchasing anything, just wanted discounted tickets. Presentation lasted 2 1/2 hours almost 3! Would have paid full price for tickets had I known. If you are short on time, skip the presentation.

Misery to listen to time share. Broken light, coffee maker and remote

Don't get roped into the time share talk. It was 3 hours and even with pleading I couldn't get the Pakistan guy to hurry up. Even said my husband was getting high blood pressure and he kept us. the room was stuffy and had 3 broken things which were fixed within 24 hours. But when you are tired and the coffee pot, the remote and the bed lamp were all broken it seemed like a long time.

DIdn't want to leave

We arrived early (like 5 hours) (after driving 18 hours) before check-in, yet the wonderful woman at the desk got us into our villa early. AND it was a villa with no stairs (which I forgot to ask for. We were running a marathon, and it was important that we not have to climb anything for a few days afterwards :-). The villa was perfect, spotless and right on a lovely golf course. We had 8 people (4 adults 4 kids) and there was more than enough room for us all. Ample parking, towels and dishes too. Everyone we spoke to was polite and well informed. The only feedback I have is I hate the sales pitch calls, but that's a side effect of a time share I guess. I never saw the pool, but my family did, and they loved it! We added an extra day to our stay and were told we might have to move from the big villa to a smaller one. Nope, got to stay in the big villa for the extra night....outstanding! The villa was peaceful, there were Sandhill Cranes out our window in the morning. We never heard the other guests. I'd stay here again in a second, in fact I didn't want to leave.....

Dissapointed 2nd trip

1st stay was in Tennis Villas, Great master bath and . washer,dryer in unit. 2nd stay, (most recent). Expected same floor plan, very dissapointed in unit. No Golf Chanell in unit in 2nd stay and we are in Orlando ! A significant disapointment

Great for Families

We stayed only two nights without a commitment for a sales pitch for time share. We had stayed the previous four nights in a very large hotel prior to Orange Lake and were delighted with being able to pull up to the door and being able to spread out and what a luxury that kitchen was. Every detail was well thought out from the dishwasher detergent to the Bath and Body Works products in the bathroom. We had considered returning to this property in the summer but do not want to waste time having someone try to sell us a time share. We want to relax without the pressure.

Bring your wallet

On the surface, the resort is very nice. The villas are large and somewhat modern. Tube TV's in the bedrooms, but they have a washer & dryer. No maid service daily! The big things that bothered us were: * Constant calls, trying to sell us property on-site * You want to putt-putt, ride the lazy river or the water slide? There is a charge for that. * Print out your plane tickets in the business center? There is a charge for that? * Expecting perks for being a Platinum Member? That's not going to happen. We had construction a lovely view - of the parking lot. #notawesome The biggest issue we had was renovation work going on directly above us. They were scraping either wallpaper or carpet - starting at 7 AM. Woke my two kids up, which made for a long day for the wife and I.

Excellent resort

I always stayed at a regular hotel while visiting Orlando, Fl. 1st time staying at a resort and loved it. I will never stay at a regular hotel while in Orlando. The property, pools, room, & staff were just great. Lots of activities to do and never had to leave the resort.

unexceptable

Upkeep on property was not up to par.Too many problems to put into words.

Awesome experience!

We really had an excellent experience staying at Holiday Inn Vacations Club at Kissimmee and we're thinking on staying again for Christmas this year. We really enjoyed lazy river at River Island and the 2-bedroom villa we took was very clean and stocked with all amenities. We definitively recommend this resort.
