We have owned here since 1996. Whenever we go there we see that our maintenance fees are well spent as the place is always so well kept up. We have never been sorry that we purchased here.

On our last night, people checked in late and were noisy until after 4 am. We packed up and left at 4 am, since we couldn’t sleep from the noise above us.

We absolutely loved the amenities and activities at this resort. Shuttles readily available to transport us between all four villages which allowed us to enjoy all the pools and activities located in each village. The lazy river and mini golf were the best!! Beautiful golf course, bingo, bowling, arcade, pools and water activities kept us busy enough that we didn't have the desire to visit the DisneyWorld Parks...which is a first for us. We will definitely be booking our next vacation at the Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort. Read less
