We booked 3 bedroom, 3 bath unit based on the website and Facebook pictures and descriptions. We were in building 1. Pros: Large unit with good layout. Very central to shopping, dining, Disney and Universal Parks. Nearby outlet shopping. Pool areas were nice but it was too cold during our stay to use them. Cons: Unit was not cleaned to normal hotel standards. Stove was not clean. Bathrooms had hairs in them. Ceiling fans were very dirty. Unit was not as pictured on website and Facebook and was dated and furniture was dented, broken, worn down. Beds were old. Pillows were hard. Sheets did not fit the king beds properly (too small). Carpets were dirty and smelly. Toilet in king bedroom ran constantly. Patio furniture was dirty. We cleaned them ourselves. Patio doors had no blinds/coverings so there was no living room privacy. Patio door was also in very bad shape and hard to open and close. No housekeeping during the 9 nights we stayed (extra charge) or fresh towels (extra charge. We were told to wash them ourselves. Not what you want to do on your vacation. No garbage collection. We had to find bins. Lots of loud people coming and going at all hours of the night. Many nights woke up to very loud music and people running/banging in the halls. Unsupervised (very young) kids in the pool between buildings 1 & 2. Read less

The room was so clean and comfortable. Love the areas space and shower was great. The balcony view of the pool is awesome as well. Unfortunately, the weather didn't let us use it. Next time! We did go down to the pool area for drinks and a snack, but they closed early due to weather.

Staff was very friendly and helpful and the on property convenient store and restaurants were a plus Perfect view of the pool from the balcony.

We stayed at Lake Buena Vista Resort in end of November. We wanted the amenities of a condo with a kitchen and 2 bedrooms for our family which this resort provided at a fair rate. Kitchen came equipped with everything that you need to cook. The weather was a little too cold to use the pool but there were a few hot tubs surrounding the pool which would’ve been nice. The pool was great for kids and the pirate ship slide was memorable. We had 1 Disney day and 1 SeaWorld day, both of which were 15 mins away. The resort did provide park transportation but we rented a car which was easier for our 4 nights. Condo was very nice and it lives up to a 4 star resort vibe. My only recommendation is bring some laundry pods to wash your towels otherwise they charge you $10 to bring your new laundry/linens. We booked a fireworks view condo which had a nice but distant view of Magic Kingdoms fireworks. The views are nice but this condo butts up against the highway which was loud outside so we didn’t sit on the balcony as much. If we came back, I’d prob get a pool view instead which would be quieter. Read less

Great place for kids and family. Rooms are a little dated, but clean and well kept. Fully stocked kitchen with dishes and appliances make saving money on eating out easy. An arcade, water park, two pools, restaurants and shopping all within a leisure walking distance. A very fun and relaxing trip, and so close to theme parks!
