We had a wonderful week from Sept 11-18, 2020. The resort took extra precautions for cleanliness & social distancing. Our West Village condo (tennis villas) was spacious & we loved the beautiful view. Our favorite day was when we rented a Cabana at River Island.

We had a wonderful week from Sept 11-18, 2020. The resort took extra precautions for cleanliness & social distancing. Our West Village condo (tennis villas) was spacious & we loved the beautiful view. Our favorite day was when we rented a Cabana at River Island. For $99, we got a nice shaded cabana all day with a fan, mini fridge, & small safe. It also included 6 lazy River tubes, 6 rounds of mini golf, 6 bottles of water & a few snacks. Food service with a limited menu was available directly at your cabana. Our server, Larissa, was awesome! She was so friendly & attentive & by far our favorite employee at Orange Lake.. Read less

Have been here before we are owners, we booked a pool view, our room is at the end of the building and overlooks the other building next door, we can see the pool but Double check to see if you are actually overlooking the pool or out to the side. Busier than we expected during these times, pool was very busy on Saturday. Does not look like they removed any chairs from the pool area like the did at Cape Canerval resort. Room is clean Has a micro wave convection oven and 2 burner stove. It’s the smaller half of a lock out room.. Pool music continued until 10 pm and our BR was on the pool side. We are in River island and the big restaurant is closed because of the COVID so if you want a good Sit down dinner you need to go off property, there are plenty of restaurants and shopping near by. Not everyone wears a mask. I don’t expect it near or around the pool but quests are slacking in others areas, elevators, hallways, Read less

The problem here is that you cannot trust their reservations department - it's all one giant bait and switch where they promise low rates in exchange for attending a time share presentation but then you never get the rates or availability promised.

The problem here is that you cannot trust their reservations department - it's all one giant bait and switch where they promise low rates in exchange for attending a time share presentation but then you never get the rates or availability promised. Plus, absolutely nobody is willing or has the authority to try to rectify what's been done and you'll simply get passed from department to department with everyone saying that can't help you and talk to someone else. Save yourself the future headache and stay away from these scam artists. Read less

This is a wonderful resort community all around, pools, units, everything... spectacular! We were lucky enough to get a unit right near the entrance/exit. A time saver since this community is so large! Thanks to Covid nearly no one around and even visited River Island where the lazy river is located and loved it!
