Not bad, but there is a reason for the price

Be very careful if you are not interested in timeshares. Just say no to everything till you get to your room. Other than that. Awesome stay for the price.

Perfect place

Found this resort while looking for a place to stay on my "working vacation". I couldn't believe how affordable it was based on all the amenities. Other reviews were positive so I booked a suite. I couldn't have been happier! The location was great. Close to Disney, Epcot, Seaworld, and Celebration, but not in an urban jam. There was plenty to do on site if I didn't want to leave including great restaurants. My room was large, clean and well equipped. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. My wife and I plan on staying here every year from now on!

Come the week after Thanksgiving. Perfect time for everything. All attractions in Orlando have far less people to deal with and there are plenty of Christmas festivities around. Good prices too!

Feels like home

The second time felt just life the first time. I've attended the Florida Classic for several years in numerous hotels, vacation homes, and resorts. Orange Lake Resorts is by far at the top of my list for location, comfort, and overall value. I absolutely love the villas with private parking. I look forward to booking my Florida Classic Weekend with Orange Lake Resorts next year. When you return home, just check your balances to make sure you've been credited all refundable charges.

Great location for older kids

The bed was very comfortable. But the tv wouldn't work and I had to call 4 times before they sent someone to fix it. If you want to relax after walking all day at the parks it is almost impossible because their are kids in the hot tub jumping around. The location is not good to far from the parks.

Great For The Price

Loved the hotel, very clean, and fun. Only thing I did not like which is not a big deal at all, is the fact that the tv's were outdated, and that the towels were not changed daily. We had to call in for more. But like I said not a big deal at all, great price and lots of activities in hotel.

good vacation

We like the resort amenities and location. We enjoyed our stay there with 2 kids. But one thing that could have been better is loading/unloading cart facility to get the bags to/from room to the car. It was terrible experience carrying all our bags from stairs and load/unload car. Second thing annoyed us was phone calls and messages from Hotel staff on daily promotions, they kept insisting to take a tour of timeshare or visit their facilities to join promotional events.
