Just GREAT! Amazing 3 bedroom space with big family/kitchen combo space. Private screen balcony. Clean! Only complaint they were a little stingy with the dishwasher pods and trash bags. We went and bought our own. Although we were here for 11 days, we were on a very busy schedule. We only spent one day at the resort but the pool we went to was… Read more

We went and bought our own. Although we were here for 11 days, we were on a very busy schedule. We only spent one day at the resort but the pool we went to was fantastic. I know they have many pools, golf courses, restaurants, and other events. This was a major bang for the buck just for the space. Read less

I booked this resort on the recommendation of a friend who went 30 years ago, and did not look at reviews or warnings regarding time shares sales beforehand. I was therefore very naive and totally fell for the initial hard sell of the resort 'tour'. I signed up to paying $30 if I didn't turn up for the tour as by the time I'd realised (i.e. when I was signing the tour form), my kids were bought in, and I thought it might not be too bad to have a nice trip around the resort by golf buggy and didn't realise how hard the sales tactics would be. I did then look at reviews and realised that it wasn't what I should be doing with my holiday, would involve hard sales pitches and potentially being far longer than 90 minutes, and so I didn't attend (but obviously lost my $30). I find it disgusting that I was simply trying to check in, and collect my keycards and parking pass from the desk, whilst they were selling me and my kids this 'tour'. I genuinely did not realise and once I did and tried to get my money back, it had really had a negative impact on our stay. No one in management could help, of course ("that's the marketing department, we cannot help"), and ultimately I signed the document so it is my fault. However, I think its appalling that they prey on customers who are jetlagged with children and promises of vouchers etc. The villa itself was really nice, and the resort beautifully kept. Apart from the timeshare sales blight on our stay (which will mean I boycott Holiday Inn for life!), I wouldn't stay again anyway from a personal preference perspective - the resort is very car reliant and the different villages are not walkable between. Our villa was an easy 15 minute walk from the pool, however some villas were probably twice as far, and walking tracks/sidewalks/pavements were not available and so it meant a walk along the road. We did walk along the golf cart tracks a couple of times but it wasn't clear if these were also for pedestrians and once we were told off. They did have a shuttle bus but we didn't use this. I was hoping for more tracks for walking or running but didn't find these. The lazy river pool was a drive away and although this was okay, the lazy river was extremely slow and not really worth a second visit. The mini golf was really old and basic and cost £10 each! The West Village pool was nice and free shuffleboard good. Read less

Orange Lake Resort has great amenities for all to include multiple pools, a lazy river, multiple golf courses, put-put golf, movie theater, arcades, and several restaurants. It is also located near all the action and activities of Orlando area such as Disney and Universal Studio parks. My family loved resort and all it had to offer.
