This is a condo resort near all the Orlando attractions. The unit we stayed in was two bedrooms with a full kitchen and washer/dryer. The unit was generally clean and had a view of Sea World's fireworks every night. The master bedroom and bath were large and well appointed with a jacuzzi. There were a couple of problems with the building. The buildings main door did not lock as it was supposed to allowing numerous local pizza shops, etc. to wander the halls daily dropping off advertisements under each door. The parking at the resort on the weekends was difficult and at times very inconvenient. The resort was convenient to the attractions and tearby stores including a Wal-mart about a mile away. The resort has a pool and seems to be planning to open a water park with a lazy river, etc sometime soon. Overall a decent place to stay and fairly reasonable. The staff at the front desk was responsive and for the most part knowledgable about the concerns we raised. The resort also has attached an outlet shopping center, a spa (which we did not use), and a very good irish pub (which we did go to).

Firstly I must say what a fabulous place Florida is, we had an absolute ball. The hotel is excellent, we couldn't of ask for more. All the staff were friendly and the reception staff were very helpful on the few occasions that we did use them. Our room was 2 bedroomed and was massive. You never think that rooms will be as good as they look in the brochure, but this was better, in fact I didn't want to come home. I have never done so much washing in 2 weeks!! The rooms had TV's in each room, which pleased my kids no end, big walk in wardrobes and the jacuzzi bath was fab. The only thing missing for us was an oven tray but we made do. The site was very quiet and is in a great location being 10-20 mins away from Disney, Seaworld, International Drive, Univeral and the interstates. The hotel is a stones throw away from the new outlet mall which has new shops opening all the time. The onsite shop is well stocked but there is a Walmart literally 2 mins down the road and that is definitely well worth a trip to stock up. The irish pub is well worth a visit too, the food is lovely and the staff are really friendly with a great atmosphere. The only thing that let us down was the pirate ship pool not being ready and I doubt it will be by this time next year unless they get a move on. The existing pool is very small but my kids (12 & 9) still loved it and it was extremely clean as was the rest of the hotel.

All in all I would stay in this hotel again without a doubt, in fact I would go back tomorrow. It really is fantastic value for money, in a fab location.

Just returned after two week stay at the Lake Buena Vista Resort. What a great time we had. The hotel was perfect, spacious and clean. The master bedroom was huge, with a big jacuzzi bath in it which the kids loved. The kitchen is well equiped with a dishwasher, microwave, American fridge/freezer and a washer/dryer which was great for washing through your clothes, so dont take a lot with you, we never wore half the clothes we had. The only thing I would complain about is having to pay an additional $15 per week if you wont a basic clean or $30 per week for a full clean, and when I say basic it is basic, we went for the $30. I think this should be included in the price of your stay. They have a games room which my boys loved (6 and 12) a shop which is open until 2am in the morning, I found this very handy, great pizza. Frankie Farrell’s Irish Pub was also handy for a quick drink and a bite to eat, the staff were very freindly. The pool was a bit small and cold, but my boys never complained. They just opened a new pool with a pirate ship plunge on our last day, which was a bit dissapointing, however it looks great. The hotel is idealy situated for all parks, the closest being Disney only about a 10min drive. The LBV outlet shops accross the road was handy to, get great bargains on trainers. For the size of the hotel which has 5 block was very well maintaned and piecefull, most folk are out at the parks all day. If you want to be next to the new pool, try booking block 3,4, or 5 as 1 and 2 are accross the road. Would I return, absolutely.

We stayed here for 2 weeks with kids aged 11 and 12. We usually stay in villas so the accommodation seemed very average. Beds were comfy. Kitchen very small with not much workspace for making sandwiches etc. Swimming pool overcrowded and sometimes very noisy at night in the first week. By the second week they seemed to be controlling night time swimmers situation. Swimming pool area was not where we spent much time due to it not being a very inviting area and unsupervised kids running round pool. New pool nowhere near ready. Pizza Hut not impressive. Location is excellent. We will not stay here again.
