My family loved this place. There is so much to do and places to eat that you never have to leave the resort. Staff was great.

My family loved this place. There is so much to do and places to eat that you never have to leave the resort. Staff was great. The only negative is having to sit through the time share thing for two hours at 8am on your first day. They was very nice tho. But at the end some people have to say no. Some family save all year just to afford to come here. So they can't afford the time share. It should be optional at check in to opt out of it and just get your room keys and go. Or just tell guest this is the times for the presentation if you are interested. But all that aside I highly recommend this place for your family vacation. Read less

Stay away! This place is not it. Don’t risk your vacation booking with this place. No courtesy for guests. They simply don’t care about anything except selling you a timeshare. You’ve been warned

What an unbelievable trip! We travelled from the UK as a group of 9! My family consisted of 2 adults and 3 children, my brother’s family consisted of 2 adults and 2 children. The complex is so big. Plenty of pools and shuttle buses that run constantly through the day from 8am - midnight. We really enjoyed the lazy river and the rings (which you have to pay for) The site had a number of fitness areas, restaurants, and arcades. It also has its own golf course! Both families stayed in separate 2 bedroom self catering apartment. This was very spacious. The master bedroom had a en-suite bathroom which had both a separate shower and a bath. The bed was massive. The second bedroom had two beds and a separate bathroom (shower and toilet) The living area and kitchen was open planned with a lovely family dining area. The kitchen had a large oven and microwave, a fridge freezer and a dishwasher. The apartment is supplied with all the utensils you’d need. It also had its own washing machine and dryer. There are places like Target and Publix pretty much outside the complex if you plan to shop. There are also restaurants near by too, if you wanted to leave the complex for food. We did use Lyft and Uber a lot but that saved the stress off driving. Orange Lake beat all our expectations and we will definitely return (as soon as we can save) We had the best trip.! Read less
