Orange Lake ResortRental Guest Reviews

I love this place, great for couples and families.

I was very impressed with the accommodations, customer service, the grounds, and mostly with the beautiful pools, slides and the best the lazy river. Tony from NY stands out in my mind for customer service. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the resort, he checked us in. Everyone including maintenance workers, waiters, guards at security gate were very courteous. The best thing I like about this place is that you can live in your bathing suit the entire weekend. I do not like the heat, but I was never hot there due to all the lush greenery around the pools, the water, and all the fans. Beautiful place, with alot to do. Loved it here and hope to come back.

Florida, Family and the Weekend

We had a great time, the grounds were perfectly manicured and there was a great vacation, relaxing and vibrant feel through out the resort. This was our second time at Orange Lakes and we are alredy looking forward to return.

VACATION NIGHTMARE!

Where do I begin? My children and grandchildren and I were looking forward to our first vacation together. I was extremely disappointed with our rooms. The mattresses were pathetic, chewing gum on night table lamps, stained bed skirts, black hair in the bathtub (we are natural blondes) and debris on the floor. Fortunately I brought Clorox wipes and wiped the entire room down and vacuumed the floor. I unsuccessfully attempted to contact housekeeping and the front desk with no avail. I was in the main lobby and the lines were too long to address to the manager. I haven't stay at a Holiday Inn since 1960"s nor will I or my family ever stay again!

Disappointing

My family and I decided to stay at Orange Lake after they called and offered us a "deal" as an owner at the Myrtle Beach resort. We booked for 6 nights after hearing of all the great family features this resort offered (i.e. lazy river, pools etc.). Seemed like a one-stop-shop vacation the way they advertised it. We arrived to find out that our villa was in a section of the resort where there are no activities nearby without needing a shuttle to get there. Having small children, that was not something we wanted to deal with considering we could rent a hotel that has a pool just outside. I requested a room change which they accommodated. Our new room was just across from a pool, which was much more convenient. The following day we drove over a mile to the section of the resort where the lazy river and water activities are at only to find out that we needed to pay extra to rent a tube for the lazy river and other activities they had. The idea of having to pay additional when all the other places we have ever stayed included these things was simply unacceptable, plus the idea of driving so far was out of the question so that was the last time we visited that area. We decided to spend our time off of the resort and would swim in the pool in the evening when we got back from a daily activities elsewhere. On the final day of our stay, I needed to print off a few pages for work and went to the business center to do so, only to find out that it costs 25 cents per minute to use the computer and 75 cents per page to print anything. Again, I have never seen such a thing. In all my travels, business center usage has always been included. The room was great overall besides finding a huge cockroach crawling on the laundry room ceiling. They said they would send someone to spray for bugs but never did get around to it apparently. I killed the bug myself. I would only recommend this resort to families who like to drive around a huge resort to get from place to place and who has the extra money to spend on the overpriced rentals and poolside food. It is also a great location for golfing for those who enjoy that. As for me and my family, we will not be back.

The best place to be.

If you want to have lots of fun this is the place to be. lots of pools. awesome golf courses, lots to eat, nice sleeping areas with a complete kitchen. loved the jet skis on the lake. also have Publix supermarket right there on the property. We had the best time there. I will surely be back again.

Great family resort

We really loved this resort and all ages were entertained. It was especially nice having the immediate necessities of laundry soap, dish soap for our needs but could have used a scrubber for pots when cleaning. The TV's in the bedrooms were old style CRT's but adequate. The room was minimally cleaned (not dusted and some food from previous guest was left behind) - but the bedrooms and bathrooms were scrubbed and fresh. The staff at the waterpark were very good keeping attention to all the younger guest. Scott the bartender at the Tradewinds was super, quick, professional and funny! Next visit will be in better weather with adults only so we can see more of the resort than the waterpark. Thanks for a great time.

Great Resort!

Very family oriented resort and the service is as always excellent!!! Pool clean and warm and the room has all the amenities you could need when on a vacation (kitchen, living room, T.V.s and wash and dryer). Love it!

Great family vacation

Have stayed here three times and will be returning. Perfect location for family holiday, however this trip we were disappointed with the cleanliness of our room, bed linen changed weekly with the exception of one bed and dirty linen left in room on chair. Dusting not done and supplies such as toilet rolls , hand soap not replenished, we stayed for 3 weeks! Good job there is a local supermarket on the edge of the resort and we were prepared to clean ourselves.

Great Vacation!!

We love to come here! Great people and place to visit! Would recommend to anyone who wants a fun relaxing vacation away from home!

Un excelente descanso

Es un sitio ideal para familias con niños, que requieran el espacio de una pequeña casa para su estadia, con las bondades de tener cocina, zona de lavado de ropas, etc. En general es un lugar genial y bien ubicado para los parques
