We got our timeshare here five years ago, and while I wasn’t sure about the timeshare part at first, we’ve absolutely fallen in love with Orange Lake. It’s the perfect stop when visiting the theme parks or for a relaxing break after a cruise. River Island is always our go-to for great pools, fun atmosphere, and plenty to do.

Great resort and in a prime location. Stayed in one of their villas and it was very nice. They have a complimentary shuttle service to get from the Villa to the lazy river, well worth it. Service was great and staff were very hospitable. Highly recommend for a getaway.

We come to Orange Lake almost on an annual basis and love the golf and resort amenities! We had a 3 bedroom lock-off (2 bedroom and 1 bedroom units connected by an inside door) for 7 people. Slept everyone comfortably! Loved the size of the units and access to 2 fridges, stoves, dishwashers. 1 bedroom balcony at the end of building 81 had a partial view of the lazy river and 2 bedroom porch faced the parking lot. Location was awesome being able to walk to the lazy river and pool area... we were there every day for a couple of hours... sometimes afternoon, sometimes evening and enjoyed some relaxing time in the rope hammocks on a couple of occasions. Lots of great pool, water slide, food and drink options and quick access to the 192 Irlo Bronson Parkway. Give it a try if you stay at Orange Lake!

Loved, loved, loved it! Especially the Lazy River! We did request an ADA room though, to accommodate one of our group who'd had two hip replacements, a knee replacement, ankle and foot surgery all in the past year. Apparently, we were given a Hearing Impaired ADA room (what even IS that?). Our friend fell in the shower the first day we were there because there were no bars in the entire bathroom to help her, not even for the toilet. She did file a report with the Safety Officer, who was very helpful and kind. So, if you are expecting ADA accommodations, be specific and check twice that they understand what you need. The rooms are lovely, so are the people!

The only negative comment is as an owner, when you check in and the day after, is the constant harassment when you decline to take the owner update. The following day first thing in the morning they continue to call you. I finally said I'm on vacation and here to enjoy my limited time with family. Everything else is fantastic.
