Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort

Fred Halabi

We had a wonderful family vacation at Orange Lake in Orlando. The resort is incredibly well-equipped with everything you need on-site, including multiple pools, fantastic activities, and great dining options. While the villas are a bit older, they have been tastefully remodeled and offer a very comfortable stay. Because the property is so expansive, it never feels overcrowded. Plus, the location is unbeatable—only about 15 minutes away from the Disney parks. We would absolutely stay here again!

The good: pool water temp was excellent, arcade was brand new, location is prime for other off-property activities, and service met and exceeded expectations for the most part. The bad: most activities are paid - down to the lazy river tubes - and this gives you the feeling of being nickel and dimed. My specific location in West Village was also far away from the stuff my kids wanted to do, so for on-property activities it was not convenient. The ugly: the room I got was really gross. And room cleanliness is the most important factor to me. Overall: wasn't a fan to be honest. Was here for a 4 day 3 night stay as part of a promotional package. When we first got there, trash was left on the front lawn. My whole suite smelled musty, and there were stains of different kinds on the walls and on the carpet. There were streaks on everything, and there was a bent golf club on our patio randomly. I kept my shoes on and aired the place out, and that went a long way. Then the internet wasn't working, so they had to send a guy out. Again, I'm on vacation, so small gripes really. But just annoying. The next morning, for whatever reason, there was a guy right outside my window mowing the lawn. Not once, but on two separate days. Now this is an unforced error, big time. Cutting the lawn in the early morning when people are on vacation? What are they thinking? Anyways, this place was probably great 15 years ago. Right now it is tired, and has definitely seen better days. We stayed at the Cocoa Beach property a few years ago, and I recall it being much better in terms of room quality. Even if Orange Lake would still provide a good experience for most people in a better room, they should take a little better care of their flagship property across the board.

We had a 2 br villa in the high rise at river island and it was spectacular! Great to be right in river island with the lazy river and heated pools right there. Its also right by the fun zone and we used the playground inside that was not an extra charge. Loves all the pool bars, and options to eat and for ice cream right in river island! The room was beautiful, clean and updated. The staff were all very friendly and quick when we needed accommodations. Its right by a Publix and right across the street from lots of restaurants. Highly recommend! (we traveled with a 1 and 3 y/o and it all worked out great!)

My husband and I absolutely love this resort. Love to come here for years to come. There are many pools and hang out areas, the water's edge has a hot tub and hammocks dance parties and karaoke tiki bars, nice and secluded with palm trees, beautifully stunning villas with back patios, lots of water, very large lazy river, water slides, and I hear water sports but I never got to that during the wonderful vacation we had. There's a full golf course. Miniature golf, and the center for purchasing tickets for outings. !!!!!

Rooms were so-so in the main hotel (part of the lobby). There was some wear and tear on the furniture. A few quirks, like the bed being very close to the hall door and so it was noisy when trying to sleep. But overall the room was fine. The service was pretty weak. Checkin went fine, but we never received room service for our entire stay. We were also hassled about timeshares by employees multiple times during our stay. Location is great though. Very close to the parks.
