Orange Lake ResortRental Guest Reviews

Great comfortable stay

Clean, comfortable, spacious, great pool areas. My family of 3 kids 2 adults will definitely be staying here again!

Not satisfied

-The bathroom had hair in the bathtub which I had to clean because they told me they charge housekeeping - the carpet smelled very bad - you can't open the window in the room so it was stuffy -the AC vents were very dirty - I wanted to replace my towels after 3 days and they wanted to charge me - not enough dishes in the kitchen (only 2 big spoons, 4 plates etc). - wanted me to register for a timeshare at the beginning when I kept saying no. -they Don't take cash - everything is extra ( the lazy river, at the kids club if they want to do arts and crafts it's extra) etc.

Convenient

Arrival was pleasant except for a discourteous and rude manager who butted in over the attendant looking after me. The room was dated, but clean and comfortable. Decaffeinated coffee should be a staple and was not available. The bathtub had unusually high walls that you had to high step over to get into the shower. Also, the tub was strangely narrow. There was a washing machine that would not stop coming on by itself. A little upgrading and refurbishing would be welcomed.

Would not recommend

I'm rating this 'Resort" with 1 star because of what I've experienced in other resorts and my past experience at this resort. Don't let the word resort get to you here.. Shortly after my arrival I showered and later that evening I requested new towels from the front desk. The response I received was, Sir we don't give any more towels, if you'd like fresh ones you'll have to wash them in the washing machine available to you near your room. For me, that is unacceptable! I noticed the maid service around the resort being a third party vendor which walks into rooms with a spray bottle and dirty rag. I felt disgusted by this. Oh, and maid service is not included and is an additional fee. Everything around the resort has an additional fee. The lazy river they advertise is free if you want to walk around. If you'd like a tube that will be $6. There is a large water slide near the play ground area with an additional charge as well. I would much prefer charge more for the room and have it all inclusive then charge for every small thing around the resort. The towels at the pool wont even cover your leg! The towels are the size of two wash cloths together and feel horrible! Overall, I did not have a nice experience and will not be returning here and would not recommend this place. Hope this helps your travel planning!

Decent resort if not for Time Share sales people

Villas are quite dated and musty. They would be very nice if they got renovated with new carpet and furniture. The so called "Tour of the facility" the front desk staff ask if you want to do when you check in is not a tour at all. We did it knowing it would be a Time Share presentation as well but was very disappointed when after 90minutes was up we hadn't been shown anything of the resort yet. So I ended the "Tour" and told the salesman we were done. Too bad this resort is also a Time Share resort.

Disney Stay

The facilities are excellent and the location is very good. It's close to Disney and other theme parks. I would stay here again for my next Disney trip.

Fantastic Resort

We only stayed one day, but we would definitely stay again, for longer, the next time we are in Orlando. The full kitchen and full washer dryer are a huge benefit to a family on vacation. Many fun amenities, pools, etc. The patio is a great place to relax and eat in the morning. Our family really enjoyed our stay.

Disappointment for a Holiday inn

Arrival was great and the stay was okay once We found where We were going. We drove past security the first time heading into the resort as We didn't know where to go and no one came out of the little guy to help us. Our room faced the pool so we dealt with load music later than we wanted but at least it didn't stay on past 11pm. We were informed that the 4 pools and hot tub were free with our stay but were given a bill for over $70 at Check out and told it was a fee for using the pool, which we used 3 times in the whole 8 days we were there. The sand by the tether ball and Swan boats smelled like cat litter due to all the cats running around. I would definitely stay at a regular hotel as it was cheaper and you are able to use the pool for free without hidden fees.

Best Resort in FL

Make sure to pay for condo near waterpark! Super convient and fun for the whole family!! Be prepared that they charge for tubes in lazy river, which is more like an adventure river because there is water falling on your head all over and no real time to relax on it. I loved our room and I'm kind of a hotel snob. We will be coming back next time we are in FL!

Great find, but need to be creative if you dont’t Drive

Loved the closeness to Disney World. Villas were well stocked and comfortable. Only downside is that the property is huge and very spread out. Be prepared to walk/wait for a shuttle if you don’t drive
