It is a wonderful cottage or home equivalent and if anything needs looking after, I can just pick up the phone. I have so many wonderful memories of stays at Orange Lake. We generally travel in March and we have made many friends who return here for the same reasons. I am certainly not the only person who appreciates the property.

This is a great resort that, overall, has excellent maintenance of ground and units. Do not get an until near the entrance as you’ll hear traffic all day long. Pools and amenities are great! People are just inconsiderate these days and resort staff has to deal!

Orange Lake is a place where my inlaws have a timeshare. While overall it's a pretty great place to stay at, there seems like there's always something wrong. Like the bathroom isn't cleaned completely, we don't have enough towels etc. The biggest negative I have to say is that these people lie and cheat you when you do a timeshare meeting. They… Read more
Orange Lake is a place where my inlaws have a timeshare. While overall it's a pretty great place to stay at, there seems like there's always something wrong. Like the bathroom isn't cleaned completely, we don't have enough towels etc. The biggest negative I have to say is that these people lie and cheat you when you do a timeshare meeting. They promise you one thing and then bait and switch you when it's time to collect. If you're staying and "have" to go to one of those meetings tell them you'd rather pass. It's not worth your time and frustration. Read less

The 2-bedroom unit we stayed in had ample room for us. We had an upper floor with a view of one of the golf coursenew s. Kitchen was well stocked and the laundry facilities were well used througout the week. We took advantage of using the new Top Range driving range, the regular driving range, several rounds of golf, as well as pickleball daily. The Pickleball Courts were always busy but with the "paddle down" routine, everyone was able to play and meet new people. Pools were well maintained and fun to use every day. The lazy river at River Island was popular. Places to eat were available on the resort as well as nearby off resort. The Publix grocery store is within walking distance and Walmart not too far away by car. Disney parks are a short drive with shuttles available of needed. Resort was very safe for those wanting to use walking paths around the resort. Shuttles available to get around the resort if a vehicle wasn't available. Staff was very friendly throughout the resort. We enjoy visiting Orange Lake as part of our winter vacation. Family mmebers who joined us this year also seemd to enjoy their stay. Read less
