We loved the Blue Heron Beach Resort..close to all the parks. We actually watched the fireworks from our balcony. Plenty of room in the 2 bedroom suite for a family of 6 to live comfortably for a week. Condo was clean and we had everything we needed. Staff was helpful in guiding us around Orlando. My family and I would absolutly stay here again. 2 thumbs up!!

Location is convenient to theme parks and restaurants. Outdated furnishings and dark outer hallways. Most staff friendly and helpful, but the property was acquired by a vacation timeshare co and in order to get your "parking pass," you have to listen to a hard-sell to convince you to attend a donut breakfast where they really lay it on for 90 min to get you to buy a property. Not really what we had in mind after a long day of flights and driving -- just wanted to check in and get to room to change, eat and hit the pool.

Orlando

up on check-in we were told of the additional $100.00 resort fee. security was great with elevators and such. parking very tight. unit was nicely furnished if you do not mind sleeping on a rock. unit appeared clean however, our socks were black after walking around inside it and the noise leval was near unbareable, you could hear the baby next door running the hallway in the unit, he was not stomping.the bright spot was the location, very close to Disney and several resturants near by. no business center, hard to get into, pools in shade by noon, balcanies not at all comfortably furnished. we will not book this again, nor recommend to anyone. go to the Holiday Inn down the street, has to be better than this....it looks nice, but it is not.

The place was very nice,clean and roomy,the only real complaints would be the small 1980's era tube televisions plus no batteries in the remotes,and older hard mattresses other than that we very much enjoyed our short stay. update the televisions to flat screens(preferably a larger screen in the living room)and get pillowtop mattresses and you have a perfect situation

My family and I stayed at this resort for the weekend when we were in Orlando. Overall the place was nice. The room had a bunk bed which our daughter loved and we had a great view of the lake. Upon checking in they informed me that about a sales presentation that would take 60-90 minutes and they would give me $100 cash back to make on of the nights free. I agreed to this thinking it was a good deal. They scheduled the presentation for Sunday (or checkout day) at 8am. I figured this would be plenty of time since we had to check out by 11. They morning of the presentation my wife and I were interested in the vacation packages they were offering but over 2 hours into the presentation the still would not give us any prices. After explaining to the sales manager [...] that we needed to get our things ready to check out and that we would come back and he said this would be fine. We left and returned to our room to get our things. After returning to the lobby and turning in our keys (10:55) we were let back upstairs where [...] told us to leave and that he would not finish the presentation and we would not receive our gift because we had left. We were upset because we like the resort we just wanted to know the pricing. After this conflict ensued one of the other associated came over and gave us the gift we were entitled to. I was very disappointed because I have sat through time share presentations before and most of them are ripoffs but depending on the price the one through Festiva seemed promising. I would never buy or vacation at a Festiva associated resort again though if this is how they treat their guests. It seems as if he was more concerned with keeping us held up in the presentation then actually trying to sell the product.

We stayed 6 nights at the Blue Heron, while we visited Disney with our kids, ages 2 and 6. The place was at a great location and very clean. We loved the view of the lake from our balcony and the full kitchen stocked with supplies. The staff was helpful and friendly. We absolutely would stay there again.

this hotel was very cozy and home away from home. the staff was very friendly and helpful. i would stay here again the next time i go to floriday.

What a surprise! The pictures of this place online really don't do it justice. The Blue Heron Beach Resort is a condo resort where the units' owners rent out their individual condos when they aren't using them. It's a "self-catering" establishment, so no daily housekeeping. However, our unit had a washer/dryer, dishwasher, side-by-side fridge, full kitchen and two full baths. The owners provided a fully stocked kitchen in terms of plates, utensils, cookware etc. They even provided dishwasher soap and a load's worth of laundry soap. No doubt if you were staying for an extended time you would have to replenish these on your own, but I know how much money I spend at laundromats while on vacation, and this place will save you money in the end! It had a huge pool and a huge hot tub. Our unit had a balcony and our master bath had a jetted tub. It was perfect for our toddler to be able to run around and burn energy before bed time in the spacious unit. We got it at a BARGAIN rate, but even at its regular price, this would have been a steal! It's surrounded by places to eat, the Santa Fe Grille across the street was AMAZING! There's a drive-thru Starbucks in the parking lot and a Wal-Greens across the street. We were minutes from both Disney and Universal. LOVED IT!
