Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort

Daniel Stiefel

We had a great stay at Holiday Inn Orange Lake Resort in Kissimmee and would happily return. The room was spotless and very spacious, with a full kitchen, dining area, washer/dryer, and a screened-in porch, which made the stay extremely comfortable. The living space was beautiful and well designed. The on-site activities are excellent. We really enjoyed the pools and lazy river. While we didn’t personally use the water slides or miniature golf, they looked really fun too. A few minor notes: the pillows and blanket could have been larger and fluffier, and there was a sharp metal edge on the shampoo rack in the shower that caused a small cut—something that would be good to address. Overall, a fantastic resort with great accommodations and amenities, especially for families or longer stays near Disney.

Orange Lake Resort was a wonderful experience for our family! The two-bedroom condo was clean, spacious, and perfect for our family. The resort itself is massive, with multiple water parks, activities, and dining options. Our kids (5 and under) had an amazing time, and the hospitality team was responsive and communicative throughout our stay. We did have a required timeshare presentation which was informative but ran much longer than expected, which did impact our plans. Overall, though, the resort exceeded expectations and was very family-friendly. We would definitely consider staying here again with more time to enjoy everything it offers.

For the price and experience at the resort, I would firmly not recommend vacationing at this resort. The only way I could see a vacation here is if you planned to not leave the resort and have excess money to spend. Upon checking in you see instantly it is a timeshare resort, with many items segregated in that manner. Such as the check in line, having two lines, one for “owners” and another for “guests”. Throughout the resort the prices were much higher for guests. After a longer checkin period, we were directed to another desk for our cards. There we were instantly approached for a timeshare presentation. We have done many before and did not travel for a presentation. After adamantly saying no 4 times they finally conceded. We were given our keys and upon entering our room (which is normal 1 bedroom) we first had an unclean room. The pull out couch was dirty with hair and not cleaned at all. We approached the desk again, through the long line, to request a new, clean, room. After approximately an hour we received a new room. It was clean however the only window was interior, not facing outside. We were called a second time for a timeshare presentation on the second day, again vehemently saying no causing more distress at this resort. We had planned a Disney vacation, with choosing this resort as it was right against Disney property however they do not have a shuttle of any kind. They also do not offer any type of room cleaning, we were there for 7 days however was told it would cost $150 to have someone clean the room at all throughout that time. We were given laundry detergent and told if we wanted it clean we had to clean the sheets ourselves. For the 2 days (out of 7) that we were at the resort, we did go to the pool and relax however renting a tube for the lazy river cost $7 per person per day. More pricing gouging. They do have many amenities, such as golf, water sports, activities, pickleball, an arcade, and more however each is expensive to do. I would not recommend this resort and feel strongly there are much better, cheaper, and overall more comfortable resorts in the Orlando area.

Value (4/5): Good value for the price. It’s not luxury, but for what you pay, it delivers a solid, functional stay. Location (4/5): Convenient and well-situated, especially if you’re in the area for attractions. Easy enough to get around. Rooms (3/5): Rooms are mid — nothing special — but the suite-style setup is a plus. Having space and the ability to eat in-room makes a difference. Amenities (3/5): The fitness center is okay, usable but not impressive. Amenities overall are adequate, not standout. Overall (4/5): Not the best resort, not the worst. A solid option if you’re looking for space and value rather than a high-end experience.

Me, my partner & 3 kids stayed. (15,3 & 2 years of age) Had a really lovely stay here. Breakfast was delicious! Rooms were spotless, spacious & well equipped. We ended up booking to stay for an extra day/night & spending the day in the fun land water park. Great atmosphere, plenty of good food & drink choices and very helpful staff. Overall a great experience & we will be going back. I would say it’s potentially one of the best resorts we have ever stayed on!
