The location to Disney was great and the rooms were very large and comfortable. The only thing I didn't like is that it took 45 minutes or longer to check in (with only one family in front of me) and they pressure you to take a tour of the facility so they can sale you a time share.

This was our third time at this resort and we were as pleased as the previous stays. We will stay here on future trips.

This is a great resort. Rooms are beautiful and spacious, pools are beautiful, although it is a stretch to call it a "water park". East village is a little far from everything, but a very enjoyable stay. Would defintely recommend.

Very Satisfied with the hotel except for the early morning calls wanting to know if I would like to take a 1 1/2 hour tour of the hotel . This was also asked when I first checked in but once I stated I would think about it they backed off. You also have to pay for everything else throughout the resort where I think some things should of been included ex: tubes for their lazy river and a blow yp water slide for the kids.

The room was spacious and clean. It was a little strange that the bedroom was next to the hallway which made it so you could hear kids running in the hall or the cleaning crew going door to door. This probably wouldn’t have been an issue except my fiancé got a migraine and we decided to stay in the room for part of the day instead of going out. They were remodeling the rooms on a connecting hallway. I never heard them but they had a lot of furniture in the hall and plastic on the ground from the painters. There is so much to do at this resort. There was a live DJ at the pool closest to our room, a lake with boats and jetskis you can rent, miniature and regular golf an arcade. Luckily I read about the time share offer before I went so I turned down the “free breakfast”. While checking in the lady tried many times to get me to go. She was at least straight forward and told me it would take 2-3 hours. If you want to listen to a 2-3 hour sales pitch for a glass of juice or coffee and a couple doughnuts or muffins that’s your choice, personally I’m glad I knew to skip it. The staff was friendly and the lazy river was very relaxing. I should also point out the shops and amenities don’t take cash. Its either charged to your room or put on a credit card. Not really an issue for me but thought I should point it out.

Room was great. All the amenities for a family and plenty of room. Resort had everything you could want and employees were very friendly and helpful. A great place for a family. The kids had a ball at the sunset party and we did too. Only negative was that when we checked in they herded us to a desk where the agent sold us on a free "tour" of the facilities so that we would tell our friends and come back again. For taking the tour we would receive $100 rebate. Tour turned out to be a time share promotion and the sales people were not OL employees. They were contract sales professionals wearing cheap suits and brief cases.We had to wait almost an hour before anyone even came to greet us. Our sales person/tour guide was particularly unfriendly and made us feel very uncomfortable to the tune of why am I wasting my time with you. This was all before we even went on any tour. We declined the "tour" and let them keep their $100. We enjoyed the rest of our stay very much.

We stayed here about 5 years ago (in a 2 BR villa). In the past, the rooms were run down but the outside facility was very nice. This time, the 2 BR villa was very modern and clean. There were lots of changes and improvements. It was much nicer! The facility and amenities were great as well (swimming, golfing, dining, etc). We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. The villa was very spacious, with a reasonable price.

Nice and clean rooms. Don't join the time sharing selling promotion. You will loose nearly a half day of vacation.

The resort is very nice. The 2 bedroom villa is large and very comfortable for a larger family. The hotel location is very convenient with a special road that connects and is close to parks, although there is $1.00 toll charge each way. One thing to be aware of is that they put a $250 hold on a credit card and charge a $15 resort fee per night upon check-in. Overall we didn't have any complaints and would recommend this hotel.

The room very spacious and clean we had a 2 bedroom villa in the eastvillage.They need more comfortable beds. Also at the waterpark they charged for tube rental and going down the Hippo slide. Great location near everything. Great value for the rates.

The hotel or should I say the 2 bedroom was beautiful, spacious and very comfortable, the view of the golf course was beautiful. The resprt had so many pools and so many activities, My family loved it the only draw back is if you need additional towels the price they charge are outrageous thank god we had a washer and dryer inside the room. Cant wait to go back.

Other than that it seemed the 'studio'(efficiency) room was in a basement (although it had floor to ceiling windows) my experience was wonderful. The service was great! I willr eturn anytime!

Great place for a family vacation. Highly Recommended!

I was a bit leary when I saw it was a timeshare resort, I was asked if I wanted to get up early to hear there presentation at checkin..which was a breeze, and once via phone a day into my stay..but no pressure pitch at all. The 2br Villa was Awesome, I would recommend this hotel to one and all. Got our Disney and Universal tickets right in the lobby and it's only about a 15 min ride to Disney too..great location. Lotsa to do there as well..my 4yr old loved the zero entry pools

Awesome stay! We stayed in a two-bedrooms/two baths villa with separate sunken living room and everything you need in the kitchen. All you need is bring groceries. Bathrooms were clean and have plenty of towels. Only regret--didn't have time to enjoy all the amenities, because of other commitments with families get together in the area.

The accomodations were great. Very clean and comfortable. Only dissatisfaction was that the grounds were alittle spread out and the push to purchase was somewhat of a pain. Nice play to visit.

We stayed in the "villas" which was a little more expensive than the hotel. They were very nice rooms, very clean. There are no staff services here and you are responsible for your own trash removal and cleaning, unless you pay an extra fee. We were not given the option of choosing what area or unit we stayed in and ended up way in the back of the complex. This is a very large complex, although beautiful, you must drive to get to any of the activities or pools. The resort does offer shuttle services, but the closest stop to us was about 3/4 mile from our unit. We also found the staff to be a bit unpleasant. The staff members do not seem happy to work for this company and are unwilling to take any initiative or follow up with the guests. A few other guests I spoke to also agreed. We also agreed to the “Timeshare Tour” (we had done these before), but this process was torture, uncomfortable altogether. The staff does not give you a tour of the property until you agree to buy a timeshare. By the end of the week we were ready to get home and relax.

The overall resort was very nice. It's big enough that you don't feel crowded. I had a little issue with two roaches in the bathroom, a whasp nest on the porch, and being locked out of our room a day early. They made the mistake of thinking we were suppose to check out and we were locked out of our room and had to wait on security to let us in and wait at the office to reissue new card keys. Other an these issues, the resort is beautiful.

Huge rooms; great for the $$$

Nice relaxing resort that is perfect for families.

Plenty of room, everything one would need in the villa and very close to Disney and a spectrum of restaurant options. Only negative during stay was a room safe which was not open for a failure of staff to respond to our request to open it. Would recommend this as a good value, esp. if staying for several days.

When I booked my reservation for Orange Lake Resort, I saw the pictures and I was so excited about making reservations there for our family vacation. HOWEVER, the pictures are deceitful because it only shows ONE village and all the condos there are booked all year long. We had to take a shuttle to that part of the resort and by the time we got there to float the lazy river, they were closing the usages of intertubes at 7pm. The staff was very rude!!! All they wanted us to do was become a time share owner and we aren't interested in that at this time of our lives. We went on the "60 minute" tour and it ended up taking 4 hours - NO LIE! They sent 4 people to try and convince us that we should become a timeshare owner. When they finally got the message that we weren't interested, they literally booted us to the curb and made us feel like low class people. I WILL NOT go back to this place and believe me, we had 3 other families with us on vacation that are saying the same thing. Orange Lake resort is a joke! Pictures are very deceiving! Heck, they wouldn't even refresh my towels or clean my room everyday in the clubhouse. I had to do my own wash. That's sad! It's called vacation! I'll go back to Orlando but not Orange Lake resort!

Very clean and well maintained.

Enjoyed the hotel. Had a Villa for 5 nights. Rooms were clean. Hotel staff was superb. Check in took a bit long, due to the fact that it was a time share resort. But, I knew about it before hand.

I was at first scared about going to a resort condo style but ended up loving it, the room was very nice and spacious for my family. You have to clean your own room but that was fine with us we don't like maids bothering us or snooping in our stuff. This resort has everthing you need if you are just staying on the property. The pools were beautiful and the place was kept very nice. Only a few minutes from disney.

We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite and it was perfect for our family of 4! When the kids went to bed in the bedroom, we were able to watch t.v. in the familyroom with the access of the kitchen and not wake the kids up. This hotel is GREAT for a family! LOTS AND LOTS to do whether it's raining outside or not! HIGHLY recomend it!

After reading tons of reviews, most were favorable but I made the right decision for my family! The resort is huge to say the least. The free shuttle helped us take advantage of all the wonderful amenities.There is definitely something for everyone! I never once heard "I'm bored" from the kids...... No complaints

my whole family enjoyed our stay in our villa it's like home away from home as my kids said.

It was a great place to stay when you have children. You have to pay for everything. Nothing is included, i.e. rental of tubes for lazy river, shuttle to parks is very expensive per person price no discount for kids.

I loved everything about this resort. There were a lot of activities for my children. We had a lot a fun. The villa was very beautiful and clean. The villa was fully equipped with everything we needed to make our stay wonderful.

Very nice place, very confortable specially if you have children. Clean, nice staff. Very nice pools and facilities. !!!Great for the money!!!

While the staff was friendly (at least at the front desk), the pools were jammed full of people many of whom were not kindly. I did not feel comfortable around the people there. Many young people were dressed inappropriately and making out at the pools. Also you can expect added fees for amenities like a $7 rental for an inner tube --the kind you could buy at a dollar store. The worst was an awful smell in the halls--my guess its mold.

We have stayed at the Orange Lake a few times the past few years and each time gets better and better. The staff is very friendly, there is a lot of activities and pools are great. I definitely recommend a stay here!

There was never a need to leave the resort. So much to do that my children never got bored, and that's rare.

Plenty of space for families with wonderful pools. We had stayed there on a previous trip; so knew to allow a day for River Island (included). The decor of the rooms is lovely, and maintained perfectly. Only negative we had on this stay was the long and slow line for checking in.

This was a beautiful Hotel. We were in a older North Village, but the room was still beautiful and very clean. Here are a couple of things to now. We checked in an Saturday which is probably the busiest and we had to wait an hour. But I also noticed that there were long check in lines every time I went through the lobby. They offer a time share tour at checkin but after that no timeshare pressure. Many of the rooms in North Village are not within walking distance of any of the pools. So I recommend paying the extra money for a pool side room. River Island is nice. But two issues. The tube rental is $8 per day. I think you can bring your own tube and the Publix just outside the gate has a nice selection. You must be 48 inches to use the slides at River Island. Most other places are 42 inches and my 5 year old was very disappointed.

Overall, it's a great hotel. Just a couple complaints: 1. The hotel hallway to get to the rooms stinks. Not sure why...the lobby smells good and the rooms didn't stink but the hallway had a disgusting smell to it. 2. The "dryers"(if that's what they'd like to call them) in the laundry room don't dry. I had my clothes in the dryer for 2.5 hours and they still weren't dry. Others in the building were telling me that they had the same problem. I jokingly said that my hairdryer would dry them fast, but surprisingly, that was actually the truth! 3. It would've been nice if they would've told me ahead of time that I could've gotten my theme park tickets at a discounted price through them by going on a tour of the resort and listing to a spill about the resort. Aside from that the hotel was great. Very comfortable for our 5 night stay. Very clean. The pools were beautiful and at a very comfortable temp. My daughter loved the "zero-entry" type pools so she could gradually get deeper at her rate, and she loved the fountains in the pools which I thought were very cool as well! I would suggest checking-in during the week instead of on a weekend...big difference in wait time and crowd volume! All in all I would definetly spend another week there!

I loved everything about this resort. There is a lot to do for young kids, teens and adults. The only thing I didn't like is that the walk way to the rooms were not clean enough, and it would really be nice if they were pet friendly. I have two yorkies and I love traveling with them.

It was definitly a home away from home. When we arrived they upgraded our reservation (because they did not have any studio's available) at no additional charge. Every employee I came in contact with was very polite and helpful. The condo was clean and beautiful. The resort was close to all of the Disney Parks, as well as resturants and shopping. There were so many things to do at the resort we didn't have to leave if we didn't want to. My family and I will definitly return.

The staff members were very friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful. The room was very clean and the decor was lovely.
