What Guests Are Saying

“Golden day! 💛 As someone who visits Orlando frequently, I thought I had done plenty of research before booking Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort. I expected a nice resort, but I wasn’t prepared for just how much there was to do. From the moment we arrived, it became clear that this wasn’t just a resort—it was a destination all on its own. Spanning more than 11,100 acres, the property is absolutely massive. My daughter and I planned this as a Tuesday-to-Saturday staycation, thinking four nights would be more than enough. We quickly realized we could have stayed even longer! By checkout, we were already talking about our next visit because there was still so much we hadn’t experienced. One of the things we loved most was that we never felt the need to leave the resort. Between the lazy river, water slides, multiple pools, splash areas, arcade, karaoke nights, movies under the stars, beautiful walking paths, and daily family activities, there was always something fun to do. The resort’s QR code system also made it easy to keep up with activities, dining specials, and entertainment throughout our stay. Even though the property is enormous, getting around was simple thanks to the complimentary shuttle service. It made exploring the different villages convenient without constantly moving our car. We stayed in a newly renovated two-bedroom villa that was spacious, clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. One of my favorite moments each morning was enjoying breakfast on our patio while overlooking the golf course. It was peaceful, relaxing, and felt more like a private retreat than a traditional hotel stay. The dining options exceeded our expectations as well. We especially enjoyed the spinach dip at Tradewinds, while the tacos at Breeze quickly became one of our family favorites. Having multiple restaurants, snack bars, and poolside dining made everything convenient throughout our stay. As a parent, I also appreciated how clean, safe, and family-focused the entire property felt. The grounds were beautifully maintained, security was visible throughout the resort, and the welcoming atmosphere made it easy to simply relax and enjoy quality time together. 💛 Golden Tip: Book more time than you think you’ll need. We originally planned four nights, and it simply wasn’t enough to experience everything the resort has to offer. Also, don’t hesitate to use the complimentary shuttle—it saves time, gives your feet a break, and makes exploring this incredible property much easier. 👧🏾 Ari’s Pick: “My favorite parts were the lazy river, the water slides, and riding the shuttle around the resort to explore all the different villages. I can’t wait to come back!” 📚 EdVenture Moment: This stay became more than just a vacation—it became a Golden EdVenture™. Exploring such a large resort gave us opportunities to practice navigation, planning, budgeting, and making thoughtful choices about how we spent our time together. We also discovered the value of slowing down, trying new experiences, and creating meaningful memories along the way. It’s a reminder that some of life’s greatest lessons don’t always happen inside a classroom. Sometimes, they happen while exploring the world together. If you’re looking for a family-friendly resort where you can relax, reconnect, and create unforgettable memories without ever leaving the property, Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort is absolutely worth considering. ✨ Every journey is an opportunity to learn, grow, and create GOLDEN memories. 💛 Until our next Golden EdVenture™… Stay GOLDEN! ✨” — GoldenGirlsGlobetrotters S., 5 stars

“The villa looks old from the outside but it’s well kept and clean in the inside. We had the most peaceful sleep. Can’t hear banging of closing doors or hear walking and running footsteps on the ceiling. It feels like you’re on your own private home!” — Avor26, 5 stars

“The resort was nice and had pools and a lazy river that we enjoyed. The unit was comfortable with everything you would need in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms including laundry. Would recommend this resort to anyone.” — JodiDuncan, 5 stars
