    We love Orange Lake, but hope communication gets better

    Orange Lake is wonderful, many pools and hot tubs to choose from, and the refillable soda cup is a must! We ended up in a room that wasn’t updated, but everything was still very nice, just dated. We originally were in a room that had a broken elevator and we were on the 6th floor. We were able to move the next day, but had to keep reminding workers that we were moving. Overall, Orange lake is wonderful, and we definitely will go back.

    We'll be back!

    We'll definitely stay here again in the future and would highly recommend to anyone with the time to stay a few days and explore all the property has to offer. Orange Lake Resort had so many wonderful features! We had a two bedroom villa* that was spacious, modern and extremely clean. It made it easy for my small family to have our own spaces and feel completely comfortable. It also had a full kitchen, and a nearby Publix, which is the best grocery store in the country in my opinion (get the fried chicken from the deli in any format you can, you won't regret it). This really helped us keep some routine with our 5 year old. The resort has a ton of options for entertainment with multiple pools, restaurants, game rooms and activities. We really enjoyed the lazy river! It was also very conveniently located near Walt Disney World. *What is advertised as a villa may not be what you'd traditionally think of as a villa. The resort has a mixture of single story townhouses (most like a villa) and multi-story apartment buildings. Both are considered as villas at this resort and both are lovely, but you get what you get depending on availability, so keep that in mind when booking.

    Orange Lake Resort - East Village March 2025

    We stayed in the 87600 building on the 6th floor. What an amazing view from this unit in the quiet multi-story units of the East Village at Orange Lake Resort. We had a great view of the golf course, a small pond with wildlife (Ducks, Turtles, Gators, Birds, etc...). We also could see and hear the fireworks from Disney's Magic Kingdom each night at 8pm. Amazing location to see the fireworks from the resort. This building is located directly adjacent to one of the small pools that has a hot tub and a fitness center located within. We had transportation but if somebody did not, the bus picks you up and transits around the resort like clockwork. Having many restaurant options on the property is also a plus for us, grocery shopping across the street to fill our refrigerator helped keep our meal costs down by cooking in the unit as well. If you golf, there are four golf courses within the property that are well maintained and reasonable in pricing. There is a golf simulator (Top Tracer) that is similar to Top Golf if you don't want to hit the courses. Each of the large pools offers different experiences for different age ranges, activities throughout the week offer everybody something to do and to stay busy, or you can just relax by a pool and/or hot tub.

    Pricey for Food and Drinks in most establishments on site but a wonderful place to vist.

    We had a fabulous stay at this resort. A few small items that I feel need to be shared. We arrived late so we didn't have anyone annoying us or delaying us getting our room keys from the timeshare side of things. We stayed in the Signature Suits River Island and it was a fabulous location and the apartment had everything we needed. We didn't have any cleaners come in during the full 2 weeks of our stay, which was a little disappointing as I would have at least expected our towels/linen to be changed once while we were there. We didn't part take in any of the evening activities on site as we were primarily there to visit parks and were exhausted most evenings and in bed early. The gym is well equip and the pools are lovely (especially at river island). Coffee shop was very expensive onsite, the restaurants were very expensive on site and event with the happy hours, the drinks were very expensive as the drinks menu boards have no prices up, just the names of the cocktails. We had a delivery from the Pizza place onsite one evening, which was fine - nothing particularly mind blowing, but it was nice. We also had lunch one days from the BBQ shack and we got a family deal. This was really tasty and reasonably priced. Hoping to go back in 2025, so all in all we are looking forward to our 2nd visit.
