Virgin rating

The hotel

Fun for all the family? Check. Apartments and townhouses with heaps of room? Check. Your stay at Vista Cay Resort can be as relaxing or action-packed as you make it. Your apartment or townhouse has a kitchen, balcony, living and dining area, and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. Head to the pool bar in the warmer months and enjoy a cocktail and a bite to eat, and take the plunge into one of the pools to cool off. There’s even a sports court, games arcade and a kids’ playground, so little ones will be kept busy every minute of the day. And when it comes to heading to the parks, you’re just a 15-minute drive to Walt Disney World Resort and 10 minutes to Universal Studios.

I booked through airbnb with Pam and it was the worst experience. Travelled from the uk to Orlando and we were left stranded with no check in instructions, messages were read with no reply and it took from 6pm to 11pm for us to actually get somewhere else. If you book here don’t book through the same person I did as they ignore messages and calls… Read more

If you book here don’t book through the same person I did as they ignore messages and calls and are happy to leave two people in a foreign country stranded. Thankfully they were able to get in cancelled and find elsewhere to go. Read less

Huge apartment but very outdated. Beds not very comfortable. The hallways smell terrible due to everyone’s rubbish being put in containers ready for collection. Few issues with the room which were dealt with. Pool area is nice. Location is great for parks and I drive although we did experience construction noise due to them expanding and building… Read more
Huge apartment but very outdated. Beds not very comfortable. The hallways smell terrible due to everyone’s rubbish being put in containers ready for collection. Few issues with the room which were dealt with. Pool area is nice. Location is great for parks and I drive although we did experience construction noise due to them expanding and building epic universal across the road. It was good for what we paid which was 55 per cent off not sure if I’d be so happy if I’d paid full price? Read less

Rented a 3 bedroom town house after a previous good experience. What Virgin Holidays and Millenium Vista Cay don’t tell you when you book, is that there is significant major building works going on around half a mile away while a new theme park is being built. This means from around 7:30am (sometimes earlier) every morning, there is what sounds like canon fire every quarter of a second while they pile-drive columns in. It echoes around the area so there won’t be a good vista cay property in Orlando that doesn’t suffer it.

Not good if you’ve just done Halloween Horror Nights and got in late. 

The house we have is in need of a refurbishment, with an external door that wouldn’t lock at all when we arrived (maintenance eventually sorted it), and half a dozen lightbulbs that weren’t working which I replaced myself from bulbs found in cupboards around the property. There were around a dozen other things that were either broken or not right, but more refurb items and unlikely to be fixed during a shortish stay, and didn’t want to spend the trip visiting reception so I haven’t raised with the resort. Here on holiday after all, not quality control for Millenium resorts. 

Virgin sent me several mails asking for feedback after we arrived. I sent these views back to them. They haven’t replied and have stopped asking for feedback.

Location is ideal, and if you get a refurbished house, it may be ok. But the building works is due to go on for a good while yet, so bring earplugs or stay somewhere else! Read less

We have just returned from a 2 week family holiday with our daughters both in their 20s. Lovely two bed apartment. It was clean comfortable and had everything we needed. There was no housekeeping during our stay but a midweek clean was available at an additional cost. I didn’t feel that was necessary as there was a washer dryer so towels etc could be washed after use. There is a nice pool on site with a bar. I think the pool closed at 10.30 pm and the bar closed around 9.30 pm. We usually hire a car but didn’t this time and used Uber and Lyft which cost us around £500 for the whole 2 weeks. Doing the calculations hiring a car and paying for parking at the theme parks the bill would have been a lot more ! It was so easy and we always got a car within 10 minutes. The apartment is in a good location, there are two supermarkets within easy walking distance. A good diner for breakfast and several takeaway places. We weren’t far from icon park (about 5-10 minutes in car) which has many bars, restaurants mini golf etc. Great shopping in Orlando Premium Outlet Malls too ! I would recommend this resort as a base for visiting Disney, Universal etc. Read less

We are frequent visitors to Orlando from the UK but we had never stayed at this resort before. We stayed in a 3 bedroom townhouse booked through virgin. The townhouse was spacious, clean and had lots of amenities. I thought the location was perfect, close to most attractions, the pool was never overly busy & the food good. There is is lovely walking path past the lake. 4 days in our air con broke so we had to move late one night to another townhouse but the staff couldn’t be more helpful & for the inconvenience they let us check out at 2pm on our last day. Unfortunately I am struggling to remember the ladies name on reception but she was great, I have read other reviews being harsh on the staff & their response but they were brilliant with us & so attentive. Would highly recommend the resort as I said I loved the location. Read less
