Floridays Resort Orlando

Rebecca N

Pros- rooms are a good size and the Maintenance team were friendly Reception staff friendly Cleaners cleaned the room well Good size pool Pizza was good and well priced in the pool cafe Pool towels were always available Cons - Not walkable to attractions or the main parts of international drive; Only has one transfer bus for universal, doing one trip at 8.30am but not returning until 8pm (the park closed at 5pm). The one transfer bus has limited capacity so you can’t always get on the bus as it’s busy. Rooms are dated, which wouldn’t be an issue if everything worked but we had multiple issues. Most got fixed once we asked. The dishwasher tray was corroded so we asked for another which we got, but that was also rusty. The dishwasher did not work, someone came to try to fix it but we couldn’t be bothered to report it again. There is a washing machine (which was broken on arrival and later fixed) but it’s not very good. TV’s need retuning, channels in one bedroom were fine but the other two were pointless. Windows don’t stop any outside noise coming in such as the hotels staff using the leaf blower at 5am, the noise from people outside the rooms or the DJ music. Checkout was supposed to be 11am but the cleaners told us it was 10am so we had to leave early. Late checkout needs to be requested on the day. It’s $25 per hour and only until 3pm. There were no rooms available for us so we went to another hotel which worked out cheaper and we had it until 6pm (although not a luxury hotel, it felt like one after staying at floridays) We were a big group and all had issues with our rooms. None of us would return.

Positive experience! We were unsure of what to expect as the reviews are mixed. But we would absolutely come back! Amazing location. Right by everything you need - lots of food, supermarkets, and close to Vineland outlet. The rooms were spacious, big fridge etc and washer/dryer. We were super lucky to get a 5th floor with a nice view (Building C, 507). I’d ask for above second floor, as otherwise it looks like it would’ve been a different experience (seems dark and no view…). Rooms were clean. Windows had no sound proofing, so I would recommend ear plugs just in case. Seemed like the floors have been updated since it was built. Furniture all looked fine! Bathroom was outdated, and our sink drained very slowly. Shower head is low and not adjustable. Light in shower didn’t work. Pool area was nice but VERY crowded (end of July) and far from enough sun umbrellas! I think we counted 5 or 6 umbrellas, which is not good enough for Florida sun. There should at least be one umbrella per 4-6 loungers. The pool was often a bit dirty, you could see grease/dirt and leaves floating along the edges. There is a Starbucks which we used many times during our stay, which was awesome. Despite the small things we had a great stay and would definitely be back. Very nice resort overall, very ‘Florida’, and great value for money. Will probably see you again soon! We have been to Florida 12 times and will keep coming back so it’s great to have found another good place to stay. (stayed in July-August 2025)

I found this place 5 years ago on my 1st trip to Orlando. I've been back to Orlando every year for HHN ever since. Been staying at different resorts but found my way back to this one. Yes, there are newer properties but they are all half the size of Floridays. On to the review. I was skeptical because of a few negative reviews. But I was happy to see with my own eyes how nice the property was. It's an older property but it is very well maintained. My room was immaculate and I went looking for issues. Couldn't find any. The grounds are very resort style and the location was central to everything Orlando. The best bonus is the room size. Not much in Orlando with this much SF other than and air B&B. Very nice place and I'm glad I tried it again.

In a world where aesthetics and upkeep matter, Floridays Resort feels dated and tired. I would not recommend staying here. We last stayed at this property 5–6 years ago, and back then it was enjoyable. Unfortunately, time has not been kind to the resort. The issues started with the basics: the shower had almost no water pressure, furniture was worn and torn, and the master bedroom had a lingering odor. The bathroom hadn’t been properly cleaned prior to our arrival—we found what appeared to be bodily fluids on the wall. Several doors jammed, causing my family to get stuck in the bathroom more than once. Electrical outlets were loose, fixtures showed rust, and everything had a layer of dust. I asked the front desk for another unit, but was told all the units were dated and none had been renovated in recent years. I didn’t want to change from one dated unit to another, so we stayed put. We only stayed from Friday (late check-in) to Monday (early check-out). Had we stayed longer, I would have cancelled our reservation and found another resort. On top of that, noise was an issue. Guests were partying until nearly 4 a.m., with music, shouting, and balcony commotion. I was too exhausted to call the front desk that night, but it definitely impacted our stay. The on-site dining was also disappointing. While the steak wrap and fries were decent, the chicken sandwich was clearly a frozen patty—something you’d expect from a gas station, not a resort. The only area that looked recently updated was the guest service lobby. Pros: • Front desk staff were helpful during check-in and responsive when we asked for extra towels. • Convenient location near Disney, Universal, restaurants, and stores. Cons: • Dated, unrenovated rooms with odors, dust, and maintenance issues • Poor cleanliness standards • Loud, disruptive late-night guests • Weak water pressure • Mediocre on-site food Overall, this property has not kept up with the times. It may have once been a solid option, but today it feels neglected. I would suggest looking elsewhere for a more comfortable and updated stay.

Great location within 10-15 minutes from Disney parks, 5 mins from Aldi, Publix and behind the Vineland outlet. Check in was easy and front desk was courteous. We had an apartment in building A which was very close to the pool. The pool is great for relaxing and for kids, very large and lots to do. Towels were readily available. DJ on Friday night was good fun and played great music. The apartment itself was clean and had some unexpected bonuses like detergents and soaps. We had a three bedroom suite that was perfect for a big group. It is not new and some items such as the dishwasher could use some updating. We found door knobs to be loose. There was nothing that impacted our stay. It was great value overall and we would recommend it to friends and family.
