Hotel Lake Buena Vista, Orlando

great hotel. exceded expectations. expecting a room. had a suite.

Website does not do justice to the great amenties and housekeeping staff. A little far from Disney and Universal, but we had enough gasoline regardless. We wished one of the seven pools at the resort was an indoor pool, especially during the thunderstorms we worked through during the week we stayed in Orlando. Maybe "free" wireless would guarantee us to go back to this resort. The Orbitz prices were excellent, so we'll do business again! Thank you!

Great Experience! Will most likely stay again. The kids loved the pool. Room was nice and had everything we needed for traveling with young children.

We had a wonderful stay in Orlando, and especially enjoyed Floridays Orlando Resort very much! Our family took advantage of the swimming pools, arcade, and complimentary transportation to the nearby theme parks. We were very pleased with the property and our spacious suite. If we return to Orlando, we'd definitely stay here again!

Everything was perfect and we plan to visit again soon!

Great room with bunk beds for my teens. Loved the many pools, games, spa, work out room. Enjoyed them all including the restaurants. Decor was lovely and couldn't beat the price for this new hotel! We met friends who joined us at the hotel and they were impressed too. Great location to all theme parks although there was no shuttle to Universal.

Overall a good value as we did a buy 4 nights get the 5th free deal making the price midrange of what we looked at. Garden view room was fine, no need to upgrade to pool view just for the fireworks because there is an enormous window view in the hallways that connect each "wing" of the hotel where you can stand and watch the Epcot fireworks (which are not really all that impressive anyway from the distance we were at). I actually would suggest a garden view if you like to sleep because the hotel seems to host a lot of conventions and parties that are held poolside and may be playing semi-loud music in the early evening. So, if you have kids and you want to sleep by 9pm/10pm, it might not be ideal. Many complain about the resort fee but its not like they try to hide it on you before you book. I wish they would just bake it into the price of the hotel. It does afford a lot of nice amenities if you think you will have the time to use them (but they charge for pool noodles or floaties which I found rather absurd). The grounds are beautiful but expansive so if you like a smallish feel to your hotel stays this is not the place for you. As close to Disney World as most of the Disney resorts are so location can't be beat. Lots of inexpensive restaurants nearby if you don't want to eat the pricey hotel food. The fridge provided in the room wasn't really a fridge but a "cooler" so if you really need to keep things very cold, you may need to bring ice into the cooler to keep it cold enough. The bathrooms have been recently redone and the housekeeping staff must be livid. Its nice and all but Kohler Verticyl (I believe) sinks? They just don't drain, a mess to clean up but its not your job I suppose, just an odd choice for a hotel. Also, the shower/tub enclosure uses a splashguard style door rather than a full enclosure. Certainly nicer than a shower curtain but water will go everywhere. Again, glad I didn't have to clean it up and we tried our best not to get water all over but its nearly impossible. Best things about the hotel were the location (never more than 10 minute drive from any Disney park) and the staff.... everyone was friendly from the valet to the front desk (and they were very pleasant in dealing with when I asked for an extra hour for checkout, don't be greedy and ask for a 4pm and they might just give you a tiny slice of extra time if your flight isn't leaving until later.) Worst things about the hotel were its size which means lots of parties and conventions so the occasional wait for the elevator, and, I did think it was absurd that with all the $22 resort fee DOES include, they could not loan us a pair of arm floaties or a float ring for our 4-year old to use in the pool. You can't help but feel nickel and dimed at that point. That being said, the pool was also very nice (aside from the parade of lovebugs inhabiting the pool area, not the hotels fault, thats just Florida in May) and there are really three pools to choose from, including one designated as a quiet zone. I would hate to stay at this hotel when it was overcrowded with families but while we were there, it was overcrowded with businesspeople / convention goers who spent most of the day in conference rooms, the poor things. They do live it up at night around the pool however. If they ever do a special deal on their suites, I would consider coming back again with the whole family (2 adults, 3 kids) but there is no way I would want to cram 2 adults and 3 kids into one regular size room.

Well, we were blown away when we arrived on the grounds. The greeting was great until we arrived in our suite. We were welcomed by a giant hairball. They were apologetic and immediately got us another suite, but when we got there we didn't have any face towels. I was getting a bit discouraged with the hotels services at this point. Asked for some towel and it took them forever to get us some. I ended up going downstairs again just to get them to deliver. They need to brush up on the customer service. Other than that, the stay was ok.

More room than you know what to do with. Everything is elligant and clean. Can't wait to go back. Loved it

This place was beautiful and spacious! It was a great fit for my entire family- all 6 of us! They have continental breakfast in the mornings, free shuttle to Disney and a gorgeous pool area. They also have a food area on premises.

Went on business with my husband, two adult sons and one daughter in law. Stayed in a two bedroom house on the fairway. Beautiful view! Very relaxing. The house design is very eclectic. Probably from the 60's with today upgrades (flooring, carpets kitchen appliances and master bedroom bathroom). We all enjoyed the house which is quite spacious. We didn't really use the full kitchen or hang out as much as we would have liked to. We would like to come back with the grandchildren. It's close to Universal Studios, a lot of nice restaurants and a Whole Foods Store. The Club House and restaurant (good waffles) are quite nice! The service is also quite good. My husband and sons played golf and that was expensive but a lot of fun. They saw Mr. Palmer and he kindly signed some golf balls for them.

This was my second visit to Bay Hill. Both stays have been excellent and the staff is excellent.

We had a "moderate" hotel booked on Disney property. For the same price, all 3 kids had their own separate bed, 2 bathrooms instead of 1, a nice living room and full kitchen versus a standard hotel room with 2 double beds and a mini-fridge. So after much consideration, we cancelled on our Disney hotel and booked here instead, feeling like what we were giving up on location and proximity to the park, we would get in space after a long day at Disney! We were pleasantly surprised at the location. It wasn't far at all. It was next to a great outlet mall that wasn't too big or overly crowded. We felt very safe with a key-required elevator and the room was very spacious and included a washer/dryer. The room was clean and my kids loved having their own beds and not having to share the pull-out couch. We would definitely stay again. Kids are dying to go to the huge pirate ship pool.

Great BIG room and the view was nice - we saw the fireworks every night from the balcony! We rented a 3 bedroom and it was at the end of the hall - so only noise you could hear was in the Master bedroom from the doors down the hall and an occasional thump from next door - otherwise the other two bedrooms were quiet. It had most things you needed - plus extras like a blender, toaster, pots and pans, dishwasher and washing machine and dryer. You must make a trip to the store to get all the little items if you don't have housekeeping come in. The room needed a little update - the carpets and furniture were a little dingy. The Jacuzzi tub was nice. So was the outside Pirate pool. You have to rent a car really to get from place to place there with ease. The shuttle service seems limited. The staff was great and we really enjoyed our stay. It was like coming back to our actual home after going around Disney all day! Nice place for the price.

The room was great. Two full bedrooms and two full baths. There is a pitch from the front office to try and get you to go to a sales breakfast. This is optional, but they were persistent. A firm no several times did the trick. You can generally find better prices to the parks online than the discounts they offer for going to the sales meeting. Great location about halfway between Universal and Disney and Seaworld is about a mile away. Overall we were very pleased with the stay.

The Sheraton Vistana is a good choice for people who travel with Kids, they have several amenities options and the kitchen in the room is a plus. The hotel room was clean but it could be better for the price. The Restaurant menu don't give you many options. If you stay there more than three days you might have to look for restaurants outside the resort.

Large 3br suite was perfect for multiple families. 15 mins to Disney World.

A bit off the path but if your looking for quiet; you found it!!! very clean! (no Roaches lol)

Nice room and hotel, but the air-conditioning is really noisy.

This hotel is beautiful with so much to do! The pool areas are very clean and you can find quiet areas to lay out if you are away without kids! It was a little disappointing to have to pay $13 a day for parking.

We spent 4 days there while visiting the theme parks. It was about 15 min from the airport, 15 min from Disney, 5 min from Sea World, & 5 min to a Publix grocery store (that sells alcohol) & Walmart. Perfect location & quite spacious for families with small kids - a 2 bedroom was perfect for 2 adults & 4 small kids (under 9). This was the best condo deal we found for peak season. Staff was courteous, professional, always prompt to address issues like remote not working & no dishwashing soap - someone came to the room within 30minutes. Clean rooms & good value for price.

The condo is elegantly furnished and everything looked to be in perfect condition. It was fully equipped with a large fridge/freezer, full-size oven, dishwasher, microwave, washer/dryer, pots/pans/utensils, etc. It has a nice balcony which overlooks the lake and fountains. Everything within the community is within walking distance. I liked the nightly phone calls about all the activities taking place the next day. There were no hard sells for timeshares, which was a nice relief. The location is about 3.5 miles to Disney and outside of the complex is a brand new Benihana Restaurant. There is a shopping mall about 1/2 mile down that does contain a grocery store (Publix), Walgreens (drug store), restaurants (Japanese and Mexican), and other stores. The clubhouse and pool area are wonderful, too. Lots and lots to do. They do have restaurants, but we had no time to eat at them. (I rated them a 3 because there is no choice for N/A, so I put it in the middle). The second pool with the "water park" type slides and equipment was closed during our stay. Needless to say my kids were quite disappointed, but still had a great time in the other pool. Would highly recommend staying here. We TOTALLY enjoyed it :-D

From the front desk personnel to the housekeepers, we were greeted with friendliness and professionalism. We had a two bedroom villa which was spacious, clean, beautifully decorated and felt very private. The attention to detail was evident throughout. We played golf on property which was great. The courses were in great shape, the staff friendly and very accommodating. We used the workout facilities at the Hyatt which were available 24/7. The Hyatt property is also beautiful with art and beautiful decor throughout. The location of the Grand Cypress Villas is perfect, conveniently located to all of the theme parks and restaurants. WARNING ... Traffic in Orlando is bad, which was the only negative experience during our entire vacation.

clean, quiet and beautiful. I will definitely stay again.

Great location, just minutes from all the parks. Pool was outstanding, kids loved it! Villa was perfect for family of 5, and great service. Only drawbacks were daily charge for WiFi was ridiculous and breakfast buffet at the hotel was not worth the price. Overall, we loved the stay and would definitely stay there again.

This hotel had a beautiful pool which is accommodating for children and adults. Rooms were spacious and clean. Great location for the parks, dining, and shopping. Hotel dining was decent. This is the second time I have stayed at Caribe Royal and I would definitely stay again!

We only stayed for the weekend, but the place was very nice.

Though a couple outlets didn't work on the counter forcing me to toast the bagels on the floor, overall it was a nice place for the money. The bathroom was huge and the bed was great!

Nice condo accommodations with 2 bedrooms and baths. Worked perfect for what we needed and saved significantly over the cost of traditional hotel rooms.

Hotel was perfect for traveling with small children, there was room for our 4 year old to run around and we could have breakfast in the room. Our son really enjoyed the huge whirlpool bath in the master suite!!

We went shopping........

Great hotel! Great location! This is my third time at this hotel! Many hotels in Orlando are better in pictures than in person. Radisson Lake Buena Vista is BETTER in person! Newer hotel with very modern, well maintained rooms, hallways and lobby! Staff is great and friendly! And location! Right across the street from the highway that takes you everywhere you need to go! Disney is very close! Universal, Sea World & Wet 'N Wild are about ten min away! Great hotel with or without children!

Accomodations overall were typical Radisson, which we've always found to be pretty good. No complaints with this one. Close proximity to theme parks was very convenient. (We drove, so had no experience with the hotel shuttle.) Numerous decent restaurants within easy walking distance, in the mall next to the hotel. No reason not to stay there again.

Great value - room size, breakfast, proximity to Disney, Sea World, etc.

I've stayed at this hotel several times, most recently last week. If you are looking for a nice hotel with a great location that is well-priced and allows dogs, then you can't do any better than this property.

Excellent, clean and comfortable. We did a family spring break with 3 kids and had a great time. They loved the pools, played a little tennis and rode paddle boats. We could have skipped WDW and they would not have cared. Lots of activities for the kids to do all coordinated by the staff. I would highly recommend and will visit again.

We had 4 adults and a 5 year old in our party. There was not one complaint from the whole group. My only regret is that we didn't have longer to spend at the resort. The unit was beautiful, clean, quiet and comfortable. We only had a long weekend and had already planned full days at the theme parks. I didn't give 5 bars for amenities only because we weren't there enough to take advantage of that but from what we did see, I probably should have given it a 5. I would definately stay again and will recommend it to my friends. I was a little concerned after reading other reviews about time share presentations. I called the resort before booking and was told that was available but not a requirement. The staff that we encountered were very friendly and helpful and there was no mention of a presentation even being available. The location was convenient to everything we needed, but not close enough to walk. We had no problem with that. We saw security and other staff around the grounds frequently which added to our comfort level.

Stayed with Staybridge in the past. Always a great spacious hotel. Only problems we had were minor and were taken care of by hotel staff promptly. Will be staying there again!!

Had a good experience. Our room was a suite (33)with two bedrooms and two baths. Furniture in the living was worn (too soft and sunk in the middle)as well as the mattress in my room which was the one closest to the main door. Pool was very nice! We swam in it every day we were there as well as the hot tub. This is a very family oriented hotel. Lot's of little kids! Breakfast was soso. Your average fare everyday. Nothing changed. Best thing was the coffee and waffles. Nice business area and plenty of parking. People at the desk were very informative, helpful and friendly! The location was great if you are going to disney, lot's of restuarants around that you can walk to and a grocery store next door. Freeway 4 is very close by. Laundry facilities were nice but not cheap. Great outdoor seating for breakfast or chilling out. Tremendous amount of people from spanish speaking countries here to visit. Did not feel like I was in the US! Was a little weird.

This was our first trip to Florida to visit the theme parks. 3 adultts and 2 kids 16 & 12. Room was perfect for us. Full breakfast was nice to have every mnorning our favorite part of hotel was the pool and hot tub. Overall an AMAZING stay for us.

We took our kids to Orlando for the first time. Had a great time. Rooms had small kitchens so we could take leftovers back. Nice swimming pool. Shuttles to the parks, especially Seaworld saved parking fees ( limited choices to Disney so used it once). Car trip to Disney about 10 minutes. Staff very friendly. Breakfast buffet extensive and food tasty. On site little restaurant/bar limited to pizza/sandwiches but what they served was delicious. Nice little perk is hotel guests get fast passes for rides at Seaworld. Wifi was spotty especially in the room. Hotel has a laundrymat. Couch is a sofa bed my daughter slept on it and she said it was comfy.

Great location. Close to all attractions and quality restaurants. Breakfast was pretty good - very busy so seating was a problem. Staff was very courteous. Pool area was fantastic - walk in pool which was great for little ones and play area with water for kids. Great pizza on sight along with name brand coffee and ice cream treats. Overall, would definitely stay again. Only wish: 2 queen beds instead of doubles. That would make it a perfect score! Just recommended to a friend upon return.

Goed, schoon, bewaakt hotel. Op 5 minuten rijden van Disney en 15 minuten vanaf Universal. Ruime schone kamer, goede bedden. Op één terrein met Courtyard en Fairfield in. Je mag gebruik maken van de faciliteiten van alle 3 de hotels. Op 10 minuten lopen een grote outlet mall en veel restaurants op korte afstand. Het ontbijt is eenvoudig en zeer druk. Plastic borden/bestek, maar voldoende om de dag goed te beginnen. Bij het zwembad kan je gebruik maken van de handdoekenservice.
