Floridays or Holiday Inn Orange Lake

Looking for people's opinions of the above accommodations. We are a family of 4 with two boys aged 16 and 12, so we are looking at 2 bed apartment/villa.

Quite like the idea of being able to use the iride at night at Floridays but orange lake looks great.

Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated- thanks.

Can only speak for Floridays but we have been twice, had a change last year and went to Vista Cay and we all want to go back to Floridays next time (fingers crossed). V good place for families, well-equipped rooms, good location and no problems with staff, who always seem friendly and efficient.

Our family are owners at Orange lake and it is great. Been going since 1996. River island is the best village at orange Lake. Always been happy with overall stay and great for families.

We stayed at Floridays 2 years ago was great. Clean, spacious rooms. Loved the location. Pool was great. This year we are staying at orange lake as we got it a lot cheaper and thought we would try somewhere different.

Can highly recommend orange Lake, loads of pools, mini golf, stayed twice before in a 2 bed villa, resort is massive, great location and plenty of places close by to eat.

We looked at both as well, but in the end picked orange lakes as I have been past it many times on route from the villa we normally stay in, and have always said how nice it looks. It’s very near a restaurant called Mannys that we have been to many times and does great steaks.

We have orange lakes as part of our timeshare and we have stayed our last 3 visits. Huge apartments with loads of facilities and short drive to theme parks, restaurants and shops will likely stay here again next year!
