Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa

Not my favorite at all. Website made it look amazing but once you leave the lobby and go to the towers of rooms, your met with what I can only describe as a dirty diaper smell. The entire building smelt like fecal matter. Rooms were not well kept at all. Towels were stained with makeup/tanning lotions (*I hope*) trim around door ways was broken like someone tried to take it off the wall, the shower rod fell and hit me while I was just trying to take a shower, good amount of water damage in the bathroom as well. Obviously is water damage because the shower curtain doesnt stay closed. As soon as its pulled to stop the water from spraying out, it collapses back in on itself. Balconies are randomly wet at times (even when it didnt rain?) Stains on the chairs and carpets, no curtains over the windows just blinds so keep that in mind because your windows look directly over the pool. Key to get into the room.... hopefully you have a strong bladder because it will take a good 10+ times for the card to actually read in the door. Only positive is no bed bugs. Legit only positive. The shops use dollar tree products and sell them for 8 or 9 dollars. No shampoo and conditioner are not included beyond a 1 time use sample bottle.

We have stayed here several times over the past 10 years, and keep coming back. The rooms are consistently neat and clean. While some of the furniture and decor is a bit dated, the price cannot be beat for such a spacious condo. This is a very large complex with multiple buildings. Some buildings are generally in better condition than others, but we do notice that they continuously repair and refresh the units as needed. We have stayed in units that have been in need of some refurbishment, and units that look like they were just refurbished. It’s a roll of the dice which kind of unit you get, but we’ve always had a great enjoyable stay regardless. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Good price, close to everything, lots of room for our whole family, and we love the pool with the pirate ship slide. I have seen some reviews where people comment that the website photos look better than the real place- this is partially true. The Florida Sun fades all outdoor decor quickly, and the pool area / pirate ship is more faded than the website photos depict. However, we still love it here.

Overall decent. Rooms are outdated, but that doesn’t bother us. Pizza Hut Express in the convenience store was nice for quick meals. Frankie’s Irish Pub was okay. The menu online doesn’t list all of the options though if you’re going to order. Pirate pool was neat! The ship has a slide. And the ship provides some shade in the water. You can see the fireworks from Epcot if you get the right room. Beds were comfortable. Linens were clean.

Well rooms are nice , staff friendly . O ly 2 complaints. Handle on toilet broke , called front desk said he would send maintenance , they did. Small stuff , like half eaten chips in safe , and someone put a knife in the block with oil or butter on it . Main thing water in master shower never got hot at best Luke warm! Other than that family enjoyed the pool. And was close to everything !!!

I travel to Orlando frequently and stay at a lot of hotels and resorts in the area, and this was by far one of the most disappointing stays I’ve had. The entire hotel is extremely outdated and in desperate need of a full renovation. The room had a weird unpleasant smell as soon as we walked in, and the cleanliness was unacceptable. The floors were dirty, the bathrooms looked poorly maintained, and the shower heads were filthy. Even the fans were covered in thick dust. The furniture was in terrible condition — the couch literally had springs coming out of it, making it uncomfortable and unsafe to sit on. After seeing the condition of the room, I actually wanted to check out early, but because I booked through Expedia, I was unable to. That made the experience even more frustrating. For the price, this hotel is absolutely not worth it, especially considering there are many nicer Orlando resorts available for around the same cost. Overall, the property felt neglected and poorly maintained. I would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
