The Grande Villas Resort is a good value for the money. The room my husband and I stayed in appeared just like the photos online. Upon arriving we were pressured into attending a timeshare meeting. We continued to show disinterest and the representative continued to push us to schedule a time to go by offering us incentives. Finally, we were told in order to attend the timeshare presentation, we had to put $20 down to reserve our spot. They wanted cash or a credit card on the spot. We said no and still we got pushback. I am extremely irritated and disappointed by the harassment we felt upon checking in to the hotel to attend the timeshare.

Lastly, we were also interrupted on our first morning there by the fire alarm check. The maintenance crew and a contractor were setting off alarms for over an hour starting before 10am and had to come into our room to check our alarm.

Overall, I would not recommend the resort just for the harassment regarding timeshares upon checking in. Spend a little more money to save yourself the aggravation.

We are sorry to read that your stay at Grande Villas was marred by your experiences with our on-site sales team. While we do invite guests to learn more about vacation ownership while they are here, please be assured that this isn’t mandatory unless you are staying on a promotional break where attendance at a presentation is a condition of the booking. We don’t feel that high-pressure tactics to encourage guests to attend these presentations are necessary or appropriate, and we apologize for the frustration that this issue caused to you.

We would also like to apologize that your stay was disturbed by the checks to our fire alarm system. We make every effort to minimize disruption caused to our guests in situations of this nature, and we are sorry for the disturbance this caused to your first morning here.

We hope that your stay here was an otherwise comfortable and enjoyable one, and that you will give Grande Villas another chance in the future. We feel sure that if you do return here, your experiences will exceed your expectations!

Was searching on various deal websites for a great and affordable accommodations during a short weekend trip to Orlando. I found the resort on Amazon Local as a sort of packaged deal. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to use my voucher and was booked a two bedroom room. When I got to my room, I was then amazed about not only the space but the grandness of the room. A full kitchen with dish washer, full refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker, can opener, silverware. There was an island on the kitchen with chairs and a six place dining room table. The second bedroom and bathroom was very nice and spacious. There was a stacked washer/ dryer unit in the room even with laundry detergent. The living was nice and even better that it opened out to the small deck. The master bedroom was my favorite part with the king sized bed and the open lay out of the bathroom. The resort was nice and the three pools were great to relax depending on who you came with (friends, romantic, family with kids). Enjoyed that the resort was 5 minutes away from a shopping center with grocery store and restaurants. The resort was off of the main strip from Disney World and about 30 minutes away from the rest of Orlando's attractions and 45 from the airport.

Would love to go back again and take more people with me to experience how great the place was.

I was travelling to Orlando to bring kids to the Disney world parks. As the park tickets are expensive enough I wanted a hotel that is close and would not cost me an arm and a leg.

Well, I read the very good feedback on Grande Villas Resort and the reality did not disappoint me - in fact, exceeded my expectations. I was travelling with my two children without my wife - so I was extra sensitive to any hassles.

We stayed for a week in one bedroom suite (C21-B) with a king size bed. Children could sleep on an unfolding sofa in the kitchen/living room. Very cozy layout of rooms, was enough space for us. Spacious bathroom. Everything was immaculate clean. No problems with noise whatsoever.

We had breakfast in our kitchen every morning. I could quickly prepare eggs (or spaghetti, or whatever else) bought downstairs in the convenience store (80 m walk from the room inside the hotel territory). This store has a very good selection of food and the stuff needed by tourists (like water toys for children etc.) Once we needed to visit a supermarket. It turned out to be only 500 m from the hotel on Lake St and S Apopka Vineland Rd intersection.

Highway entrance is 1-2 km from the place, 15 min drive to the parks.

One day we stayed out of the parks, so we visited the swimming pool (80 m walk). Kids loved it. Spacious, not crowded (3, max 5 people except us were there in a 30 m pool). We could throw small soft ball to each other without bothering others. The pool has small "bays" in the corners, only later I realized that it is made in form of a turtle. The big bay (the turtle's head) is a shallow area for babies. Looks like the hotel was built with love.

To my mind it is serviced with love, too. The impression is usually composed of small details. After the pool visit we came to our room and we bumped into the room service person who was cleaning the room. She was so genuinely apologizing even though it was our fault not to leave "do not disturb" sign. For wifi in the rooms I needed to pay $15 for a week upon arrival. This initially caused some sarcastic grin but looking back it is not really expensive and the quality of signal was excellent. Also, I was able to print the boarding passes easily in the reception where they have computers and a laser printer available free for all guests. And the cherry on top of the cake, when I left the hotel in the night for the airport, I forgot a battery charger. I called the hotel later from Canada and they arranged mailing it to me.

Thank you, the hotel staff! We had a pleasant time staying in your hotel.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with my short stay here 5/31. I chose it because it looked decent and was quite inexpensive. Better Than Decent However, The Suite Had A Full Kitchen, A jacuzzi tub, walk in shower and a big room. I wished my stay had been linger so I could use it all! The room and location were one I would have expected to pay much more for.

We almost didn't stay here because the price seemed too good to be true when compared to other places of the same size and amenities. The staff were great, the accommodations were top notch and it is the perfect distance from the parks. From a family that never stays in lesser known places we highly recommend this place.
