Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort

Orange Lake Orlando Resort Orlando is an expansive 1,450-acre modern resort in Orlando that’s like a mini-city. After dropping off your luggage in your condo, get changed into swimsuits, grab pool toys and water wings, apply sunscreen and get ready to be amazed. The kids will want to spend hours at the waterpark – and you won’t mind a bit. Next, try out the resort’s seven pools including wading and zero-entry pools. Lounge with a cocktail from one of the two pool bars and get comfortable; you’re going to be here for a while. When it’s time for lunch, nine on-site restaurants serve everything from salads to pizza. Need an afternoon pick-me-up? Currents Cafe serves Starbucks coffee. Now that you’ve had your caffeine fix get in a workout at one of the three well-equipped fitness centers while the kids hang out in the Swampy Activity Center. Gather all of the golfers in your crew and get ready for a little friendly competition. There are four Arnold Palmer-designed golf courses right on-site. If the little ones want to get in on the action, there’s mini golf. But that’s not all! The resort also offers rock climbing, tennis and basketball. Good news – Orange Lake Orlando Resort has a free shuttle that allows guests to travel throughout the resort grounds without having to move their car after check- How awesome is that?

One-bedroom condos sleep four guests. Kitchenettes have what you need to make the basics – or heat up leftovers. Two- to three-bedroom condos sleep eight to eleven guests. Fully equipped kitchens have everything that you need to whip up anything from sandwiches to multi-course meals. Bring the kids along to Publix to stock up on essentials (remember: on vacation, Ben & Jerry’s counts as an essential.) Enjoy your ice cream while you watch a movie – flatscreen TVs with DVD players are perfect for family movie night. Bring favorite movies from home and call everyone into the living room. First kid on the couch gets to decide what to watch. The in-suite washer/dryer will come in handy when the kids inevitably end up with ice cream on their clothes. Once the little ones have drifted off to sleep, unwind with a relaxing soak in the jetted tub. You deserve it.
