"This is our second year at Bahama Bay Resort. We were pleased enough last year to book again this year. Our experience was even better this year! The staff are great and the place is perfect in all respects. It is a great place to just relax, or to serve as a base for all the tourist attractions for other family members. I would recommend this facility to anyone who asks."

"I must say for the price, you could not have asked for more, I got upgraded from a 2 bedroom to a three. Everyone was friendly and very helpful. My flight was very delayed so I did not get in until 3 in the morning and exhausted, and the front desk was waiting for me with a smile and very sympathetic. My flight was a disaster, so I was praying that the accommodations would make up for it and it did, Thank God! We really went for a wedding, and I have to say getting ready was great! no one got in each others way. That's how spacious it was. Two full bathrooms really help, everything was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back. Thank you!"

"If you are looking for an affordable, spacious alternative for Disney World this is it. We were a max of 15 min from Disney World (Magic Kingdom....Animal Kingdom was more like 10 min). There was no traffic and lots of available shopping close by. The rooms and grounds were very clean. Very close proximity to a Super Target, Wal-Mart, lots of dining, and a Publix. I have only one complaint...the beds were very uncomfortable. However, for the $$$ you can't beat it. After being on your feet in the parks all day you can probably sleep on anything :-). DO NOT attempt to check in before 4 pm. They do not allow early check in under any circumstances.
Overall -- My family and I will definitely stay here again!!!!"

"Just got back from Bahama Bay Resort two days ago. Glad to be home so I can sleep. Too much noise at this 'resort'. People above us walking, kids running, washing machines and dryers going-- starting at 11:30 PM and going on until 1:30 AM! Every time someone opened their patio door above or below you could hear it. The stove moved when I went to turn it on. The room we were in is really in need of updating. The coffee table was really, really bad, and as a matter of fact all the furniture in the living room area was beat up; the curtains in our bedroom had stains on them, the bedspread had a tear in it. Your welcome package includes a tiny bar of soap, a tiny bottle of shampoo and conditioner, and a packet of dish washer detergent which I think was 1/4 oz. , two rolls of toilet paper and a roll of paper towels. That's it. No laundry soap, no dish soap, no dish cloths...only two dish towels. Also there is no maid service...despite the $85 dollar cleaning charge and the resort amenities fee (what amenities?). As a matter of fact we never even saw a cleaning person. Last year we bookedat the Sheraton Desert Oasis in Scottsdale....now that was a beautiful place deserving of 4 stars, clean, great maid service. Not this place. The Bahama Bay Resort only deserves 2 stars at best. The pool area in at our building area was not nearly as nice as the main pool ----barely had any flowers around our hotel, but up at the main pool it was much nicer---too bad I never got the opportunity to spend a day there.....perhaps I wouldn't be as bitter as I am. On the positive side, it was not too far from Disney (20 min)....a bit further for Universal,(45 min) but not too bad. The only thing this place had going for it was spaciousness. Take my advice and stay in the parks if you're going there....till this place hist you up for the fee's and the cost of renting a car, parking fees for the parks, gas, etc. go the more convenient route and stay in the parks where you know it will be kept up."

First Time Visitor from Pasadena, Newfoundland And Labrador
"Great Vacation but..... Read this entire review if you are a first time visitor....
We stayed at Bahama Bay for 10 Days and our overall experience was a good one. Unfortunately being a first time visitor we assumed that all villas were of the same standard of quality. Not Correct.... We were told by family members who had stayed there numerous times that we would enjoy a villa on the second floor overlooking the man-made beach. We put this request in our booking and that is where were placed. We were next to the Tradewinds Restaurant, the pool area and the dock. PERFECT LOCATION.
However our unit was a disappointment. The photos on the web site showed very nice furniture and advertises things like dual sinks, etc. We had old and worn furniture and single sinks (sinks not a big deal, but not as advertised).
The greatest disappointment was the carpet stains right from the entrance on into the living room. A terrible first impression that could easily and have been corrected before renting out this unit.
If Wyndham Hotels and Resorts has placed their brand on this resort they should ensure all units are up to a minimum acceptable standard and are actually as advertised.
We inspected the unit further and were happy to see that it was clean. We would not have even considered staying in this unit if it was not. There were lots of towels and linens etc. Being able to do laundry was a bonus.
When we got past the obvious issues and went outside to look around, the resort itself was beautiful, the grounds were exceptional and our location was excellent. For those with children being next to the pool and restaurant would be a great convenience. Staff at the restaurant and bar were very good and friendly - no issues there at all. We rated the overall experience as a 4 however if were were given the option to separately rate the villa and the grounds we would give the unit we were in a 2.5 - 3 but the rest of the resort a 4.5 - 5.
Here are some hints for your booking that may help you have a better overall experience.
1. Request a unit on the second or third floor near the Tradewinds Restaurant. Third floor if you don't mind the stairs. This will put you next to the pool, 2 hot tubs, the man-made beach and the dock.
2. REQUEST AN UPGRADED UNIT. Some have been upgraded and others not. Since we arrived late at night, I think we got what was left over. We asked at check in if the unit we were given was upgraded and were told that they did not know. I find this hard to believe but maybe they did not know. Newer units have nicer furniture, clean carpets, flat screen TV's, etc. and a general better overall condition. We know this because our other family members stayed there at the same time and their unit was a newer one. They were in a building which is close to the Tradewinds as well.... their unit was beautiful.
3. Expect to pay a cleaning fee ($80) and a daily amenity fee ($5.95) upon arrival. We were told up front when we made our reservation' to expect it, so it was not an issue for us.
Overall Bahama Bay is beautiful and we will be going back again, however we will be better informed the second time around when it comes to the unit we stay in. We have indicated that we would recommend to a friend, but only if they had an updated unit. You will feel very comfortable and safe walking around the resort. It is family oriented and there were no other issues whatsoever.
You are close enough to Disney (20 minutes) for a day trip but far enough to enjoy the quietness and get away from the hustle and bustle after a long day of taking in the attractions.....

"Bahama Bay Resort was a great place to stay for our family of seven. We were in the hottub talking to other parents who brought kids and they were repeat customers. They like the location and the value for the amount of family members they had. I couldnt agree more, i am a golf professional and stay at some of the nicest resorts in North America and this one was perfect for our family. Next year, i will look into booking with Bahama Bay resort."

"We only had a 4 night stay at Bahama Bay as we had already been staying in other parts of Florida but we wished we had longer.
To make arrival easy there is a dedicated car parking area for check-in. The staff were all welcoming and helpful.
Our villa was a very good size, well equipped and clean.
We didn't make much use of the facilities but the swimming pool in the area we stayed was very nice, plenty of chairs, beach area lovely and you could also fish from the jetty.
Our only criticism was noise from above and this was not the fault of the Resort the family above us appeared to be playing soccer every morning and night, I am sure they weren't but that was what it sounded like. We called Reception and within minutes a staff member had visited the guests upstairs to ask them to be quiet.
We would be very happy to stay here again and would recommend.

Places to eat, free DVD check out for guests, multiple heated pools and a beach on site. The only bad thing is the beds are not very comfortable but are apparently in the process of being changed out. But all said we would definitly stay again."

"I think we may have just had a bad unit. We had to call maintenance daily - the first time for a broken dishwasher - when the maintenance man came out he said it wasn't broken. The next time we ran the dishwasher and water started pouring out on the floor, they agreed it was broken and fixed it. We also had the thermostat for the air conditioner break daily. Each time they would come & fix it, but one night when we came in late the maintenance man had already gone home for the night. The front desk person told us the problem was because 'we left the door open when we went out' (which we obviously wouldn't do) but he eventually taught us the trick for fixing the a/c. Still my idea of a relaxing vacation isn't playing repairman daily. In the end, we ended up checking out early & going to a different location.
On a positive note, the grounds, pools, etc were incredibly well cared for. I really think we just got a bad condo."

"Will never stay here again. The person who checked us in was rude. Was not able to sleep 1st night we were not able to sleep because the people above us souded like a stampede till 3 in the morning. The second night we were awaken be security banging on our door at 5:30 in the morning because there was a lost girl that was wondering around the building and did't remember her room number and he was looking for her parents. Needless to say that was one rude awakening. When I checked out I asked if they had found the parent and they said yes but never apoligized for banging on my door and scaring the daylights out of us. So I skipped the park that day and drove home for 4 hours to get some sleep."

"We booked at bahama bay resort and spa we decided to go on vacation at the last minute like 1 week prior to the trip. From the photos and reviews along with the great rate we got we decided bahama bay was for us!! Boy was I impressed, I mean its not a perfect 5 star resort but its very beautiful and roomy for the price you get the room!! There were a few things I wasn't thrilled with like the first thing you see when you walked into our room was a giant stain on the light tan rug, someone spilled chemicals on it there's a giant white spot with small pieces of carpet missing. Whatever that wasn't too bad we paid under 600 for a week in paradise. Next please check under the couches when you arrive I do not think they move them when they vacuum, my 2 year old was holding a pistachio nut in her hand I said where did you get that sweetie she said under the couch and sure enough there were 4 nuts and shells under the larger sofa. It was extremely convenient having a washer and dryer in the villa/condo we came home with 5 pieces of dirty laundry!! Also wash all the dishes as soon as you arrive after seeing that the floor was not cleaned properly and whatnot I decided that if people are rude and leave dirty dishes for them to clean because why not you paid a cleaning fee.... Then the dishes were probably not done properly either. Especially if they have back to back occupancy and the cleaning people only have 5 hours to clean every room that was checked out of!! These are not hotels with one tiny room and one bathroom they are the size of apartments be kind clean up best you can the night before so they have time to do the proper cleaning for the next guest which will make their stay the greatest as well!!! Definitely worth the price and then some we will be staying here every time we go to Orlando in the future. Also this facility is very close to Disney parks!!! We were there during a less busy week so we made it to the parks in 15 min, keep this in mind!! It's close but if your there during a busy week you'll probably wait longer in traffic lines etc. Also there are super Walmart and super Targets near by for all the food,snack, and other necessities you'll need!!"

"The place was quiet and convenient to major roadways. I did not appear that there had been any updates, however, in quite some time...the TV and VCR had to be at least 10yrs old. Oh, yes, they really need to trim some of those beautiful palms, like the one that kept scraping the window and outside (the bedroom) wall on the windy nights
FYI, one of the ammenity 'perks' is free DVDs...try to get one...it seems there are only 2 copies of each for the whole resort. Glad we didn't have children with us.
On the plus side...there's plenty to do in the area, beyond the Disney experience...Capone's Dinner theater is a hoot! We made a day-trip to Cocoa Beach for sun, lunch and shopping. Later that evening, we took a gambling dinner cruise out of Port Canaveral and had the opportunity to see a night launch from Kennedy Space Center!
Not likely to go back to Bahama Bay, though"

"'My family and I enjoyed staying at this resort. It was a short family trip during the MLK holiday weekend. Second time staying at this resort, this time on the ground floor - our first time there we stayed on the 3rd floor. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try something other than the usual 1 room hotel stay. You and your family will enjoy the extra space and full amenities."

"We just returned from 9 days in Orlando, at the Bahama Bay Resort. We were upgraded from a 2 bedroom to a 3 bedroom condo. This was perfect for the family. The setting is fabulous, clean and very beautifully maintained. The pools are warm and clean, as well as the jacuzzi's. Only 15 minutes from Disney and 5 minutes to a 24 hour Walmart. This is the perfect setting for a family vacation. The staff was friendly, helpful and thorough. We will MOST definitely recommend the Bahama Bay Resort to all those travelling to the Orlando and we will definitely be back. Thank you for making our holiday a very special one!"

"We just returned from our 1st visit to Bahama Bay, and we were very impressed. It was a quiet week at the resort, we we were upgraded (free of charge) from a 2 bedroom to a 3 bedroom condo. The condo was clean and spacious with TVs in every bedroom, which was great for the kids after a long day out at the parks...they were able to get some downtime in their own rooms and we still had the rest of the condo to use. The pools were excellent, as were the hot tubs, and having the extra amenities of the pool tables and fishing dock were really nice touches. There was only 1 negative about our stay, and that was the unexpected cleaning charge...we didn't know anything about this until check-in, and not only that, but the room wasn't cleaned at all during our stay...the charge was for cleaning after we checked out. Charge was $130, which, for a room that wasn't cleaned for the duration of our stay, seemed a bit excessive. Regardless, we very much enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend Bahama Bay to others. Thanks."

"We have just come back from 2 weeks at the BB, It was excellent value for money. We had 2 3 bedroom villa's as there were 10 of us. The villa's are very spacious and well designed, rooms very large with loads of storage space. Washer/dryer are a HUGE bonus as is the dishwasher and other appliances supplied. The only not so good thing was that the carpet was a little in need updating, as its cream, every mark was shown but this is not a major item. The setting is fabulous and beautiful and very clean. The pools were all very clean and warm. Only 15 minutes from Disney and 5 minutes to walmart or shops it was just perfect for us... The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Restaurants were very well priced and nice food, drinks a bit expensive though. would return in an instant. Thankyou for an excellent holiday experience"

"The site is absolutely beautiful, blue sky , palm trees and beautiful pool and hot tubs which were aaclean! However, initial room given smelled of strong javex cleaners and was musty with very old, stained and dirty carpets. Upon request we moved to another floor which was a newer room however, carpet was still bad. We kept our shoes on. Owners really need to update their rooms with at the very least, laminate flooring. Carpet is not acceptable today with so many allergic conditions and bugs. The rest of the rooms were great; large, full kitchens, nice mattresses. Loved my stay there and would go back, under the condition there was no carpet in the room."

"We've been to BB several times and it's a favorite spot when we go to Disney. In past experiences the rooms have been very nice. This time we got an OK room but the beds and couch were uncomfortable (cheaper and sagging) and the decor a little off (minor). The units are owned by individuals so there's some variation to be expected. This one was not as great as the others we've stayed at. All in all I'd still recommend staying here and plan on staying again the next time we go down."

"I love this place, the first time I came here I told myself this would be the only place I will stay when I go to Orlando my friends tell me I am crazy why not stay near the parks but the drive is worth it. The only thing I think should be added is a breakfast shop like a minny diner even if its just for breakfast. The only unhappy part was the girl who sold park tickets was very rude, and the little market wouldnt refund my money on expired I could only exchange and that would have been ok if I wasnt checking out. I really didnt need anything else, but there policy is no refunds even though it wasnt my fault. But I would not let that change my mind on staying here again. Had a blast."

"My husband who is from the Bahamas stated that the only thing that the Bahama Bay Resort has in common with the Bahamas are the bugs and the names of the streets are named after the islands. The mattress in the master bedroom was so lumpy and uncomfortable. The bedroom that my daughter slept in had a door with a wood frame and the rest was glass. Needless to say I was not happy with that so I slept in the other bed in my daughters room which was very loud because all of the air conditioning units were outside the window.
The ads on the resorts web site shows a TV in every room. Well the first room we received was a three bedroom. I called the front desk and advised that I booked a two bedroom with a king sized bed. I return to the front desk and they said I received a free upgrade. I stated that I did not ask for a free upgrade I requested the room I originally booked. The customer service rep stated that she could do it but it would be $10 extra a night. Funny I received a free upgrade and then was charged extra for what I originally booked. The furniture is old, dirty and uncomfortable. The tv's are outdated and the one in the living area was on its way out everyone on the television was pink. There was not salt, pepper, dishwashing liquid or detergent and the pots are terrible not matter what you do everything sticks to them. I feel for the amount of money I spent I should have had certain things provided to me as well as a clean updated room. When I turned down the other single bed that was in my daughters room there was hair all over the blanket, how disgusting. Everytime my daughter moved in her sleep the mattress would move further off the bed.
I could have stayed at a Disney Resort for the price I paid and received excellent customer service and a clean updated room. I would not go back to this resort if they paid me to stay there. I feel that the ads are false advertisements.
This is not a family fun resort and not worth the money."

"First impressions are everything. We checked in, staff was too busy socializing to notice we were standing there for a good 5 minutes. We went to our room on the third floor opened the door and the carpets were filthy, The furniture is in dire need of being replaced, you sit on the couch or love seat and you sink almost to the floor. The master bedroom's bed looked as though someone had leaned over and puked all over the carpet and down the side of the box spring. Unfortunately we did not notice until we turned the bed back for the night. I was disgusted and called the desk to clean, which they did the next morning. They were apologetic and cleaned the carpets throughout the unit while we were out for the day. The cleaning did some good on the carpets but still remained very stained and worn. We have stayed at many resorts and this would be one of the least favorites, they do not supply anything for you just the two rolls or T.P. and the 1/2 roll of paper towels left from prior tenants, one package of dishwasher detergent good for one usage and no dish soap. We stayed 2 weeks and had to buy our own toilet paper, dish soap, paper towels, seasonongs, salt, pepper, etc. They did not even change out our sheets or towels. We changed and washed everything. The dishes and pans are very limited for a family of five, one fry pan, no measuring cup or spoons, the microwave wouldn't even make popcorn. It was a good thing we were out and about the parks most of the time. The other part I did not like was our pool behind our unit was closed and locked up by 7 pm every night. We found one evening it was open and they came and asked us to leave about 7:45 and go to the main pool. We were not being loud or rude we were just relaxing and very quiet. We went to the main pool and it was very crowded and loud with many drunk adults. This was not my idea of Family Freindly. The amount of money anyone pays for this resort, should not reflect the cleanliness. All resorts of this size and stature should be Clean! We all pay the extra cleaning fees before we even see the unit, where does that money go? Amenities are nice pictures are great but reality sets in once you open the door."

"I'm probably wasting my time with this review, but don't waste yours. I have 2 very young girls, a 6 month old and a 2 year old. Both require cribs, so I called this place before booking to ensure that there would be no problem with having 2 cribs placed in our 3 bedroom villa. 'No problem' they told me and asked me to remind them by putting this request in the notes section when booking. I did that. And of course, when I got there, they told me that they couldn't get me 2 or even 1 crib and that all they had were pack 'n plays. This despite the fact that their website says they have cribs, the woman on the phone told me they had cribs and nobody called me after receiving my booking to tell me they didn't have cribs. This ruined our vacation. Then, once we get there, we find that the wi-fi was out in our room the entire time, making it impossible to do any work while there. Don't waste your time here and stay somewhere that cares about your stay and properly trains their people on customer service - which also was lacking."

"This was our second visit in less than 3 years. First was awesome, except for 09 year old daughter getting a skin rash which took up to 6 months to cure. Asked for building 18 and I think it was 708 second floor and left side. Moved out in 2 hours. Carpets are tan and black with dirt from entry to kitchen. Made a drink and ice smelled like a wet towel. Employee came up and said don't drink the water and the ice maker on the fridge doesn't have a filter. Shortly after the handle came off in the shower. Had enough and requested a move and got a renovated one in building 17 room 616. Much better. They removed the carpets and have hardwood. Still had issues with the fridge not cooling and spoiled the milk too quick. Washer and dryer was poor. Off balance and makes tons of noise. Dryer, forget it. Not good or it is clogged to the outlet of unit. The pool by the lake should be repainted and there was a loose racoon which comes by daily which seemed to make all the kids happy, however, there were no attempts by Bahama Bay to call in a licensed animal trapper to remove it or inform you that something will be done. For a renovated room, the bed had a loose or broken board which every time you moved it made an awful noise. Plus, TV's are outdate, too small. Come on, not one flat screen TV. This visit was horrible and first impressions make the world of difference for future returns. For the price and size it is a good deal. If they could tighten up the other EASY stuff, this would be a fantastic place to stay."

"The staff is rude and you can see a number of mad customers arguing over over charges. Carpet is dirty... No elevators so you have to carry luggage to the second or third floor. The room is spacious but you can hear everything from neighbors. Very, very isolated area when staying late at the parks a heading back to the hotel at night. For the rate I would find something closer, cleaner and with better customer service, by the way do not arrive before 3:59 pm check in is at 4:00 and not a min before."

"The staff at the Bahama Bay was surprisingly 'disassociated' with the guests. After driving for a couple of hours late at night, arriving and seeing no line, we were instructed to wait at the pole until called over. Just set the wrong tone. The apartment itself was 'okay' which is understandable for the price, but the carpet needed a serious cleaning job."

"We stayed here for a family reunion and the overall experience was really good. We had 2 villas; the one I stayed at was on the first floor which is very convenient if you have elderly people in your party. The villas need a little TLC; the carpets need to be replaced and all the mattresses were past their usable life but for a couple of days it is tolerable.
The grounds are well kept and the staff is very professional. We had a minor problem with the shower in the master bathroom, we called the front desk and in less than15 minutes the problem was solved. As some people have mentioned it is little bit far from the attractions but I is not a big issue if you have a car and don't mind driving at least 15 to 20 minutes to get to the attractions.

Sascha from York, PA
"We just came back from a 10 day stay at the Bahama Bay and overall it was pretty nice. There were 5 of us and we were upgraded to a 3 bedroom unit. There was plenty of room for us and although the beds are definitely a little harder that we are used to, we were so tired at the end of each day we barely noticed. Here were some notable things from our trip and some tips if you decide to stay at the Bahama Bay:
- Free DVD rentals were a big HIT! Though several of the newer releases seemed to be out every day, there was plenty of variety and we were able to rent a movie every night that we hadn't seen before. Definitely a nice touch.
- We rarely had any issues with the free WIFI access. There was only one night where it kept going out, but otherwise we logged in every day and didn't have a problem. Beware though that they change the access code once a week so you may have to call the front desk for the new access code if you can't login to their server.
- Although there was a decent selection of cups, plates, cutlery, etc., the selection of pots and pans was pretty dismal. There is one medium stainless steel frying pan and a couple of stainless steel pots. There is one small cookie sheet, which was 'hidden' in the stove when we got there. I ended up buying a large non-stick frying pan and larger cookie sheet right away as we planned on cooking several meals during our stay to save money. I am very glad I bought the extra cookware because it came in very handy. I recommend at the very least either bringing your own non-stick pan, or plan on purchasing one from Walmart if you plan on doing a fair amount of cooking. I tried to cook hashbrowns in the stainless steel one and it was a disaster.
- They supply plenty of towels, including pool towels so you don't need to bring your own (we did and wish we hadn't).
- I had read reviews before we left that said it can be noisy. I specifically asked about a week before we arrived for a 3rd floor apartment if possible to alleviate any noise above us. We were given our request and even though you do have to walk up 3 flights of steps, it was worth it. For almost our entire stay it was very quiet (until a family moved in next to us and kept slamming the door shut). We could also see the Epcot and Magic Kingdom Fireworks shows from the balcony every night. Definitely a good choice in requesting the 3rd floor.
- It is definitely a bit out of the way and about 6 miles down 192 to get to the Disney World road. This wasn't too bad, but it definitely started to get old towards the end of our stay, especially if we caught all the red lights.
- Although the apartment was pretty clean, the carpets are badly in need of a cleaning. They were pretty stained and could easily be remedied with a Bissel carpet cleaner. The furniture was a little worn as well and the couches were not terribly comfortable but were sufficient.
- The pool and hot-tub were nice but a little dirty. On our last day there someone had come and cleaned the pool, which made a huge difference! The hot tub though still looked a little suspect.
Overall for the price we got on this, it was definitely worth it. We could have paid twice as much to stay at someplace closer and nicer, but we are happy we saved some money and will likely return to the Bahama Bay again. It is definitely a value stay so as long as you don't expect the Ritz, you won't be disappointed. IT is a nice place, not spectacular, but definitely nice. Have fun!"

Jennifer from Ottawa, ON
"Overall, our experience was wonderful! However, the pools were over-run with unsupervised children who disregarded all the posted pool rules. We constantly had to duck out of the way of objects thrown across the pool, move to avoid people diving and cannon-balling on top of us and watch that we didn't step on the many kids snorkelling under foot. I was hit in the head with beach balls, babies and knocked off my feet by tidal waves.
Our unit was very large and the beds and pillows were comfortable. When we called about our broken kitchen sink faucet, the staff came right away to fix it."

R Barr from Lantana, FL
"This was our 5th stay at the Bahama Bay Resort but unfortunately it will more than likely be our last. We normally stayed in one of the villas as you enter the resort which we found to be clean & in good condition but this time we were put in the units at the back of the resort & the rooms were very shabby & smelled of mould. Also, it seems the resort allows non residents to use the pool, I guess charging them a resort fee but we had a rather unpleasant experience with a very drunk woman who was with her 6 year old daughter. The bar tender should've been able to see how intoxicated this lady was & cut her off but that was not the case. Thankfully the rain came & the pool was cleared. Hopefully she wasn't driving home....!!!"

"My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Bahama Bay Resort. The kids loved the pool, the basketball and tennis court. One problem was the beds, they were not soft, however, they were sleep-able. The second issue was WiFi-usage, it did not work in the suites. The WiFi only worked by the reception desk (main office). The last issue was not really an inconvenience, but it would have been nice to have rooms with a Flatsreen TV's, especially in these modern times we live in."

Steph from Millville, PA
"We enjoyed our stay at Bahama Bay Resort and Spa. We stayed in the 3 bedroom Abacos Villa for a whole week and for 6 of us we had plenty of room for everyone. It was much better than staying in a hotel room. It was nice to have a kitchen with all of the utensils, and a washer and dryer in our room. The resort was easy to find, and it was just a short drive to the parks. We only got to enjoy the pool area one night because of other plans we had, but it was very clean and everyone was courteous. We also ate at the restaurant that night and there weren't any complaints from anyone. The price was very affordable for what you receive. I would recommend this resort. We all truly enjoyed our stay and we are already planning to return again."

"My family and I loved staying at Bahama Bay. We felt like we really got a lot for our money. We loved having 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, a screened in patio and a laundry room. I was worried about possible uncomfortable beds from other reviews I had read, but we all slept great! The pools were awesome. Our only wish was for the pool areas to stay open later. Other than that, Bahama Bay was a real winner. We are already talking about when we can go back! I doubt that we will ever stay in a standard hotel room again whenever we visit Disney World."

"This was our 3rd stay with the Bahama Bay... and we loved it... again.
The villas are very spacious and very clean, and come fully equipped with utensils and cookware (and dishwasher) and are also equipped with a washer and dryer. The property is beautifully landscaped and well maintained, and very clean, same goes for the pools. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and checking in and out was a breeze.
Even with the daily resort fee and the cleaning fee, I feel the the Bahama Bay Resort is a great value, and we will definitely stay there again!"

It comes with a kitchen so I was able to cook meals and keep cold water in the fridge. The only thing everyone should know is that there is a $106 dollar fee that you have to pay at them time you check in for cleaning and maintence. Even with that extra fee it was worth it!"

"The mattresses at the resort were uncomfortable, old and worn. In fact the box spring in the master bedroom was literally torn and falling apart. The foam padding was coming out and the plywood showing. You could feel the springs in the mattress and the additional bedroom mattresses were thin and needed replacing as well. When I reported the torn box spring to the management I was told that the units are individually worn and replacement is at the discretion of the owner. I arrived home with a backache and needing a decent night's sleep. nI have need experienced this at a resort that boast a 4/5 star rating.nAlso, we food an old dirty container of food (rubbermaid storage type) in the cupboard, that had maggots and beetles in it . It had been obviously overlooked by housekeeping. Gross!! This made us uncomfortable with what else might not have been thoroughly cleaned. Can't believe we were charged a cleaning fee??!!nThere is a complimentary DVD red/blue box rental that was a nice feature for family time. This helped because the activities for children are limited. nFor the most part we had a good time. I felt that my children were safe and welcomed. The staff was quite friendly and other guest/families seemed pleasant as well.It really should have been cleaner."

"Room was OK for the money. We pulled out the hide-a-bed and found food in it and on the floor. The fans in the bathroom were caked with dust. Considering we had to pay a $65 cleaning fee, I expected it to be cleaner. You could tell the carpet was worn/dirty. We did receive half of our cleaning fee back after we complained about the hide-a-bed, and someone came to clean it right away. I was nice that we had a kitchen we could make some of our meals in. It would have been nice to know that only the initial supplies are provided in the rooms. I would have planned to bring coffee filters, dishwasher detergent, etc."

"stayed at the bahama bay resort and the price was perfect especially with a larger crowd. It is a tad out of the way but not too far. the resort is huge and our rooms were awful. stayed in a three bedroom villa. Furnishings were outdated and depressing. The beds were lumpy and uncomfortable. Our master had hairs and dirt in it! carpet was dirty also. The smaller pools not open past 8:30 and the main pool too far for kids to walk in dark. overall, it was affordable for our crew but very dissatisfied with room and pools. Also, not sure what additional charges of $92.00 dollars was for?? only mentioned $5.95 fee per day?? we were to have free parking. never could get an answer on that one! I am sure there are better places."

The first two nights the food was good and the service was good. The final night we decided to eat outside on the terrace. Waitress took our order for drinks and food quickly. That was the end of the service! Our table of five and another group of five then only saw our waitress once to tell us our food would be right out. fortyfive minutes later still no food or waitress. The bartender even got involved and still could not explain the wait. After another half hour our food came out and it was could. No response from the staff about the service issue. This place could be a great place to stay. I would be willing to give them another try but that is it."

Scott from Warrenton, VA
"We just returned from a six night stay at the Bahama Bay Resort in Orlando and we were very pleased. We were in a three bedroom Abacos (sp?) condo on the third floor of our unit. The unit was extremely clean and well furnished. It was not outdated at all (as I have seen in other reviews.)
The only downside was no elevators to the third floor, which meant a lot of stair trips...but when you eat like you do on vacation, the little bit of extra exercise doesn't hurt.
Perhaps since we were on the third floor...noise was not an issue. One night, the unit below ours was having a loud party (there were several baseball teams there) that continued to get louder and louder as the night wore on. At 11:30 I called the front desk and asked if they could have them tone it down a bit....the desk said they would take care of it...and within ten minutes things were quiet.
We used two of the pools, the clubhouse and Tradewinds. Both were very nice with plenty of deck seating.
We ate dinner at the Tradewinds the first night, and while the food was pretty good....it was very SLOW in arriving. They also had an issue with their computer which made getting the check another lengthy process. I tried to order some food there later in the week and was told it would be at least an hour before it would be delivered....so we decided against it. If you do decide to eat there....be aware they automatically add a 15% gratuity to your check.
The only other negative I would say was in regards to the cleaning fee. I didn't mind paying that...as it is pretty standard procedure whenever we have gone to the beach and rented a condo. However, what I did find annoying was that we actually wanted to extend our stay one more day but our unit was booked....so we would have had to change units. If I changed units I was going to be charged the cleaning fee again.
I get that we would be 'dirtying' another unit and it would need cleaned....however, the cleaning staff appeared to be Bahama Bay employees and not private contractors (like you see at the beach with the various realty companies.) It seems to me it would have made more sense for Bahama Bay to 'eat' the cost of the second cleaning fee....have me rent an un-rented unit for one night....and stay on the property and potentially spend more money at the restaurant, bar, etc.
However, that was a minor inconvenience and overall it was a GREAT place to stay. We will most likely stay there again in the future."

Very generous with Kitchen utensils and equipment
-Unable to get Wi-Fi At All (not good)
Flat Screen TVs nice, but...couldn't find a Channel Guide
Screened in large Balcony/Patio very nice to have.
Grounds and pools were beautifully kept.

"This place was awesome. It had everything and felt just like we were at home. Everything was clean and we all had a great time. It was minutes from everything and the traffic wasn't bad either. The pools were great and the pool by the clubhouse had a bar which was a plus for my family and I. The kids had a great time and we will be staying here when we go back another year. The staff was friendly and overall everything was perfect. The gate guy was pretty cool and he remembered faces which was another plus for me. Gated community and very clean. Tropical is what it looks like when you pull up."

"The rooms were nice and big. Having a big fully stocked kitchen was great.
Problems. Stove: 2 burners (big) did not work at all, Ice machine in fridge was very slow producing ice.
Cell Phone? Forget about it! Even though this is something that the hotel can not help, this was very annoying and hard to do work on the road due to the this. No matter where you were on the property could only get (if that) 1 bar.
Internet: Bad. These are the worst speeds I clocked while at a hotel in the past years. Half of the time the internet would not connect or drop for no reason.
Beds: Were very noisy and not soft at all."

"My families trip to Orlando was a great one overall. The rooms and grounds were very clean and inviting. I have already recommended this resort to other families and friends. The drive to the parks were fast. The location of the walmart was very easy to get to. Loved it. Staff was great. The only thing we had a big issue with was the cellular service. We all had to go out on the patios or in the parking lots to use our cell phones. Not good at all. We are coming back every year."

"This complex was wonderful and exactly what we needed for our family trip to Orlando. Our three bedroom unit was very spacious and included all that we needed for our week long trip. Walmart and Publix were very close by for all of our shopping needs, as well as restaurants for those occasions when we wanted to splurge and not have to cook for ourselves. We did not use many of the amenities available at the resort except for the pools (which are very nice), the bar, and the store. The staff was very friendly. We had no problems with anything the entire length of our stay, although I will say that the bed in the master bedroom could have been a little more comfortable. The only issue we really had is that you have to pay a daily fee for the use of amenities such as DVD rental, internet, resort extras, etc. and we really did not use any of it and the internet was not very reliable from our specific unit. While in Orlando we spent three days visiting Disney and Universal. The drive to and from the parks is about 30 minutes, so be sure to leave time for this. If going and coming at times when the parks open or close, traffic can be quite heavy so just be prepared. We will definitely be returning to this resort on our future trips to Orlando. The price, location, and convenience are all excellent and helped to make our vacation so much more enjoyable!"

Our villa was clean and well stocked with clean sheets, towels and wash clothes. The grounds were immaculate. Location was perfect. Easy access to everything in Orlando. If and when my family and i return to Orlando we will be staying at the Bahama Bay resort!! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!! "

"Our recent stay at Bahmam Bay Resort was an over all good experience. We were upgraded to the three bedroom Villa and had plenty of room for our family of nine. The kitchen was clean & had all the necessary tools to cook meals. There were plenty of towels, clean bed sheets & extra pillows. We had a washer & dryer which was important to us as a large family. We enjoyed the avalibility to check out movies from the main building. It was close in proximity to DisneyWorld, Universal, Outlet Shopping, and more. This was our second trip to Orlando (our first trip we stayed at a resort on the Disney grounds) & this was an exponentialy more enjoyable trip for us. The cost per night & the location were definitely worth our stay & future recommendations to others to stay at Bahama Bay."

"It started off rocky; fridge wasn't working, but they brought a spare and fixed mine on monday as they said. I didn't need to call or anything. We had a three bedroom and each room had a flat screen. We had plenty of space for the six of us. The only thing i'd change, a king in the master and more comfortable beds. I will return, but with a mattress pad, lol. The internet service was great, cell reception so so, but that was verizon's fault. I'd definitely recommend it. Tanya at the front counter was awesome and very consistent."

"were to start the adress for gps was wrong it took you to a locked gate and an empty field. The security officer at the gate to the resort when we finally found the entrance was rude and arrogant, the lady at the check in counter was not all that friendly was supposed to b 4pm check in was told it may b ready by 430 or five. The pool was supposed to be open untill 8pm got there at 620 sighn said it closed at 630. Upon calling to find out about this was first told didnt know why, then put on hold came back to the phone was told it was due to rain but the pool at the clubhouse was open till 11pm. The thing about this is it wasent raining had a brief shower earlier maybe 5 min or so. The beds were not at all comfortable. The internet conection was a joke was able to get on once the whole trip. The cushions on living room love seat were torn on the under side tv was small for the size of the room the tv in the bedroom was somewhat out dated the water pressure in the shower was some what lacking . The painting on the exterior of the building was not all that appealing as it had over run paint on the trim work.There were ants all over the steps and balcony area. The fire extingisher box outside of the door going into our villa was empty. So too sum it up was less than a great experience ,dont know where the pics of this place they have on there site were taken but they didnt even come close to what we saw there."

"Our recent stay in Orlando was a good one. The three bedroom Abacos Villa was spacious and our family of six fit comfortably. The kitchen was very well appointed, there was an ample number of towels, and the furniture was comfy. The bed linens were crisp and clean and there was even an extra set for each bed in each room. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer, with a clothes basket, in the unit.
However, details are important and the Resort missed several. The dust on the baseboards and lamp fixtures was thick, as if they had not been cleaned in a while. When we turned on the fan in the master bedroom dust flew off the fixture over the room. There are emergency sprinklers in the unit that were coated with cobwebs and dust. At the front entrance of the unit, the outside light fixture was covered in dust, cobwebs, and dead bugs.
In spite of these details, I would reccommend the Resort to others. For the price and location it was worth the stay!!"

"This is our third time here our first two times were amazing, this time around things slipped a little. We were put in a room we did not like and they gave us no problem to switch, however the new room had a broken toilet lid and the smoke alarms kept going off. Security took the alarm down and someone was to come the next day to fix it which did not occur. As well the trash was not changed so the cans were overflowing each day.
Overall we really love this place, the location, the amenities, the staff and the location away from the hustle and bustle. We will stay again and would recommend others to do the same.
Just think it may have been an off week for them this time around."

The bedrooms and bathrooms were decent but the bed it self was something awful. I called the front desk and tried to get a mattress pad or something but they had nothing to help. I was able to smoke my cigars on the screened in patio. So, it was worth it...."

"What a wonderful place to stay! It was very affordable and spacious. The resort was very nice. We really enjoyed the kiddie pool for the little ones. The room had evidence of the last guests in the carpet....toddler cereal and ear rings in the carpet. If televisions are important to you, make sure when you make your reservation and check in that they are to your satisfaction, otherwise you have to pay another $65 cleaning fee to change rooms after check-in. For our three bedrooms there were was only one bedroom that had a television and a television in the living room. I would highly recommend this resort to stay at and when in the Orlando area again will return."

"We arrived very late on Friday to be greeted by a the nicest employee we encountered the entire time there. Our unit was nice enough and adequately equipped, but the '2 Queen beds and 2 singles' proved to be 2 oversized doubles and 2 dorm sized singles. There weren't enough pillows. When I went to ask for more the next morning, the very rude woman at the desk informed me that our unit was 'fully stocked.' There was a sign tackedup on the front of our building saying that they had sprayed for insects the Tuesday before we arrived, which would explain the rather large and tenacious cockroaches that we kept encountering in the kitchen and one bedroomof the unit. The fact that the front door did not close properly (you could see daylight all around the edge) would also explain that, as well as the fact that even with the A/C running 24/7, all the bed linens and eventually our clothing were always slightly damp due to the humidity. The four pools advertised onsite were all clean, but disappointingly small for the number of people staying at the resort. And although it is indeedclose to Disney, the traffic on the main route to the parks from the resort was so heavy we seldom made the '15 minute' trip in less than 30 minutes,and one day it took almost an hour. It was all highly disappointing."

I'd rather sleep on the floor.The t.v.s was so small & old,the furniture was all scared & the carpet was stained.You have to carry all your trash out down the stairs because there is no maid service,but you do have to pay a cleaning fee when you check in?I made a list of everything that was wrong with the room & went to talk to them at the front desk to make sure I would get my $200 deposit back & the girl working just blew me off cause she was standing there chit chatting with a man,Thank gooodness we spent all our time away at Disney cause the only time we was there was to sleep."

"Booked a father - son trip to play golf and thought a 2 BR would give us a little more privacy than a 2 bed one room hotel. Result was a success. Much more room than a hotel. Has the look and feel of a large condo/apartment complex. A couple of things to note:
1. If you are expecting a hotel type stay, you'll be sorry. There is no room service or daily maid and you cant take the elevator to the lobby bar.
2. Unlike many hotels, this place isn't within walking distance to restaurants, shops, or anything really. It's in a residential area. Good news though, it's actually very close by car to Disney World (10-15 minutes) and near many golf courses.
3. If you are traveling with family....stay here! There's a lot of things to do on the property and a lot more space than a hotel...certainly a better value than a hotel.
4. Only negative was my unit was a little dated and showed some wear. Old school TV's, sewn repair to the couch, cabinets were peeling, and some outlets didn't work. Again though, it was very clean."

"We were there for a Volleyball tournament, and the villa was large enough for our 2 families to sleep 8 people and share the cost of our trip. It was perfect for this reason, and a very nice place for a family to stay...way better than a hotel room. The pools were great, the nature trail very nice and the grounds were beautiful.
I had 3 reasons for marking down the ratings: First, the internet service in the room was pretty much non-existent. I wanted to get a little work done on the computer, and also look up our volleyball schedule which changed everyday, but we could not get consistent access. Between 2 computers, 2 iPads, and 3 iPods, I would say we had service about 10% of the time...unreasonable these days. Second, two bedrooms did not have a TV, and with 4 kids and 4 adults, it would have been nice to have another, but this is a minor complaint. Lastly, the mattresses were like sleeping on cardboard and the pillows were no thicker than a sweatshirt. Not real comfortable."

"This was our first visit here and must say I was extremely pleased overall. Our condo was 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and very roomy. It was only a 20 min drive over to Disney and close to Target, Walmart, convenience stores, restaurants and so much more. Everything was very clean with the exception of the carpet which did need a good cleaning. It was very difficult to get a cell signal, however, the same thing happened in and around Disney as well. Overall, everything was very nice including the pool areas and the surrounding grounds. Just be careful driving thru the complex - the 'golf cart' people are always zipping around somewhere and sometimes can't be seen, especially at night. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a family - very family oriented."

Peggy from Chatham, IL
"We really enjoyed our stay. We had 6 people and the 3 bedroom condo was a great fit. We all had room to spread out and have our own space as well. It was great being able to cook a few meals and make a good breakfast before leaving for Disney each day. The only complaint was the master bedroom's bed was creaky, old, and a little on the uncomfortable side. But we were SO tired that it didn't really matter. The location was great...close to Wal-Mart, Target, lots of restaurants and only 20 minutes from Disney. Would definitely stay at Bahama Bay again!

"I have actually stayed at Bahama Bay and Resort before and because of the my past experience is the reason I stayed again. I actually brought my church with me for a youth church trip and they were so out done. We absolutely love it and will be staying there the next time I travel to Orlando. The only thing that is uncomfortable is climbing the steps with luggage when we were put on the third floor. Other than that, everything was excellent."

"The place is awsome. It's so much better than a regular hotel and the price is affordable.I 've been staying there for the last five years. I'ts like having a time share without having the liabilities of maintenance cost and monthly morgage payments. You feel just like that you were home."

"Really enjoyed our stay! All the rooms were nice and clean. Couches in common area were not comfortable but everything else was great! Was about 30 minutes to parks but we knew about this and didn't mind. Having such a great place to stay was more important than staying closer to the parks."

Michelle from Woodruff, Sc
"For $535.00 for the entire week, I was not expecting the Ritz, I was expecting a clean and comfortable place to stay, which is exactly what we got. The staff, especially the grounds keeping/maintence were very helpful and friendly when asked about the prime fishing spots on the resort. The front desk staff was very polite. A huge storm came thru and knocked out the power for 95% of the resort, and they did everything possible to make sure we were comfortable during the outage which lasted just a couple of hours. The condo was clean and yes, the furniture was a little scratched and the carpet needed to be replaced (only because some previous guests spilled bleach next to the washer/dryer) but overall, you really couldn't ask for more. We had a ground floor three bedroom condo with guests on each side and above us and found the rooms to be quiet. The grounds are very well kept and the pools are great. Room service pizza at no extra delivery charge was a plus. The people who complained that Disney was too far away just didn't realize you can take a right out of the complex, hit 27 a block away and be on I-4 in a matter of minutes. I have been going to Orlando for 17 years and I have stayed several different places in and around Disney, and Bahama Bay is one of the more pleasant stays that we have had."

"Bahama Bay, great price, beautiful property. If you need something while you are there, you will get a quick response. The pools are great, no swimming at the 'beach.' Gated community, a bit of a drive to the parks. This wasnt so bad for us, we liked stopping at the restaurants and stores along the way.
We accidentally left an expensive car key in the safe when we left, and have called numerous times (5) to see if it could be located. We have not received a call back, and it appears no effort has been made to take a look in the safe.
5 days, no follow up from Bahama Bay.
Overall this is a great place, just don't leave anything behind.

"Bahama Bay and Resort and Spa,It was a wonderfuf 7 night stay. The place was close to Walmart and the Disney parks and we loved the restraurants located in the resort. The Villa was so clean and it really felt like home. There's a Market Place next to the lobby that you can purchase any needed supplies.. I enjoyed the patio with the ceiling fan and the CD player was very relaxing. We love to go to K We take a trip to Florida once a year will continue to bring my family and friends with us. We know you will love your stay. Have Fun!!"

"We had a great time at Bahaman Bay Resort. The staff were very friendly. The property and the condo was very clean. There are several pools on the property and we went to three of them, very nice. The childrens pool area was great my two boys enjoyed it so much it was hard to get them out. It's was really nice that the Bahama Bay Resort is close to Disney World. Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom are the closes it was about 10 mins drive but of course our GPS took us the back way. Epcot and Hollywood studios are not that far either. Sea World was about a 30 min drive from the resort. I would definetly recommend Bahama Bay Resort."

"We just returned from a week at Bahama Bay with our 6 year old daughter. Very nice resort. Clean and peaceful. Pros: Very nice and clean rooms. Beds were clean and pretty comfortable. 46' flat screen TV. Pool was close to room (no driving like at larger resorts). Hot tubs were good and hot. Fun and clean sand/beach area. Nice landscaping. Best part -- Affordable!!Cons: Crappy beach towels. Too small screened-in balcony (there were 2, but both were very small). Not enough kid activities. Pools were nothing 'special', no waterfalls, water fountains, etc... We would definitely go back here for the price. Our daughter had fun walking the trails at night looking for frogs and lizards. She liked that almost as much as the themeparks!!"

Clean, comfortable, and affordable accomodations, a very friendly staff, BEAUTIFUL grounds!! The four pools and beach were all lovely. We will definitely return next year. We travel to central Florida every year and this was our first time staying at Bahama Bay. We have stayed many other places that are all very nice but the grounds of this resort really sold us to want to go back again!"

"Overalll I was thoroughly impressed with the facility and amenities. I work at a hotel/resort as a catering manager, thus I have certain expectations and I must say for the most part those expectations were exceeded. The landscape and cleanliness of the grounds was immaculate. rnrnMy encounters with the front desk staff were not up to par. I did not feel as though they were too friendly or welcoming and when I made a simple request it seemed as if I was 'putting them out'. Your front desk staff are the first people you encounter and can set the tone for the entire stay. I would not say I was impressed with their attitude.rnrnAs for the suites, I thought they were very comfortable and inviting. I would recommend updating the televisions and channel selections. Also, I would think it would be wise to provide a small amount of dish soap and additional toilet paper. Otherwise, I was extrememly satisfied with the accommodations.rnrnAll in all, it was a great trip and wonderful resort. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends and hope to visit again in the future."

It was like we moved into a new home without the hassle of actually moving anything. We were so sad when we had to leave. We're already planning other trip to go back, hopefully in the same villa.

"There were 8 of us in a three bedroom villa (6 adults and two toddlers). The resort staff were all very friendly and efficient. The room layout was great but the mattresses were REALLY uncomfortable. We spent lots of time at the pools. The full-sized pools are lovely and warm; the kids pool is not heated at all! Good thing kids are resilient! We were there in May, so I imagine that's a slower time of year. We had no problems finding chairs & tables in the shade when we spent time by the pool. It's about 30 minutes to Disney World (I'm not sure why their advertising says 15 minutes...), but it's not a bad drive and at the end of the day, it's nice to be away from the chaos of Orlando. We had a quiet, relaxing stay. I'd recommend it!"

"We stayed in an Abacos suite in BLDG 16. The furnishings were 1980's at best. The couch and love seat both sagged badly and were uncomfortable. The two TV's were small and old, and the one in the master room was hung high on the wall....wasn't worth watching. There is not much clearance walking through the 'dining area'. I had to move two of the chairs so the kids would not trip as they were sailing through. The beds and pillows were awful as well. The carpet was dirty and looked like it should be replaced. There were vertical blinds lying on the floor that had broken off. We were unable to access the internet and when we called for assistance, we were put on hold while they tried to find someone to help....that was after they finally decided that this property was on their list... The coffee pot lid was broken. On a positive note, the grounds are very lovely, and the staff was friendly. Pool areas were sufficient. We felt we were getting a good deal, but found out that sometimes you 'get what you pay for'."

"I love this place went last year for vacation and just got back 2 days ago from the same place. Even though I've been here before I read the reviews on this place. I don't see how people thought the staff was rude, they were extremely nice and helpful. They let us check in an hour early to our room. Everything in our villa was clean except for the obvious stains in the carpet from previous visitors. As for the ones complaining about bugs, it is a tropical state and please tell me you've never had a bug in your house before. I will be definitely be staying here again."

"The place had bugs, spiders, worn linens, stained towels and carpet not to mention a huge wasp nest in a tree right by the parking lot. The place is an absolute disaster, we will never stay there again!"

"We were traveling with 6 people, 2 rooms May 2012. Our first room was outdated, couches were filthy and one of the rooms had urine soaked sheets and a dead lizzard in it! Yes the urine was fresh and we just stayed out of that room for the entire trip. Our friend's room was updated, nice fresh furnishings and quite pleasant. I can say that it is a crap shoot which room you will get, but we will never trust this place again. If you do get a nice updated room, enjoy your stay the grounds are great and it is like staying at a nice middle ground resort in Mexico! If you get an older room, change the sheets, ask for new towels to cover the soiled couches and wear your shoes indoors because the carpets are filthy."

"I stayed there with my 4 yr old son from May 9th to 16th. value for dollar was exceptional. Grounds are beautiful and the pool areas are great. The condo we rented was good -the only hiccup was the wifi crashed one morning and I was told it would be fixed by that afternoon - after numerous follow ups I was told at 10 PM that I had to call a service provider directly (after being told otherwise multiple times). It was back up by 4 PM the next day - the fact that I had to constantly chase them about fixing it then was informed at 10 PM that I had to follow up directly was frustrating - that aside I would have given it 5 stars across the board. This resort is great for young families or if you want a romantic get away - I will for sure come back."

"We are a family of 5 and decided to try out the Bahama Bay Resort since I have seen it a bunch of times and it looked nice. We have been to Disney and Orlando many times and had not stayed here. We will NEVER stay anywhere else again! I am very picky so this is huge for me! This was the best part of our entire vacation! The grounds were beautiful, pools were great. The room felt huge and we are a family who likes to spreadout! My children are 19,9 & 3 and there was plenty of room. We had a 3 bdrm villa and could not have been happier. For the money, this is the place to stay."

"We have stayed in villas twice before this stay, and overall our experience with Bahama Bay Resort was excellent. We stayed in the 3 bedroom villas, the balcony was a bit small. The grounds were very well kept, clean, and beautiful. The food was great from the take-out, we didn't try the other two restaurants. We found the staff very friendly and enjoyed the free DVD rental option for the duration of the stay. The pools are amazing, the beach was beautiful (my kids enjoyed volley ball on the beach-we did have to buy a ball at Walmart). My only complaints would be the beds were so-so...we stayed on pillow-top beds in our other two stays. It would also be great to have a non-stick frying pan. The furniture and carpeting might not have been the most up-to-date; but everything was clean which counts the most. My daughter was thrilled with the swan towels, and all of the other decorative touches that were in the villa when we arrived (made us feel special). We would definitely go back."

"This was a wonderful family vacation. We were quite pleased from the time we arrived on the resort until the time we had to leave. The grounds were beautiful and the back to nature feel and lush growth all around us made us forget we were in an urban area. Our villa was beautiful and we were so surprised at all the room we had and how updated it was. The rooms were large and spacious and equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable all week. It really was a home away from home. Two screened in balconies, flat screen tvs in the living room and two bedrooms was a treat for sure when we arrived back in the evenings ... a nice way to relax after a long day visiting the disney parks. We would recommend this resort to any of our friends or family. Each section had its own pool so a minute walk to our back yard was very accomodating..the service was wonderful and there was plenty of area to explore and enjoyed the paved walkways around the resort. It was situated close to the resorts and not far from shopping, restaurants etc.. Thankyou for a great stay for a week... we all enjoyed your hospitality immensely!!"

"We visited the resort for 4 nights in early May of 2012. We were a party of 10 (6 adults aged 33-62 and 4 children aged 3-10). The resort grounds were beautiful, very tropical and well kept. My family of 4 stayed in building 5. Our room was moderately dated with older (but clean) furniture. The carpeting was clean but very worn, I would suggest the owners replace it. There was also a hole in the wall behind the front door where someone swung it open too hard, which did not make for a good first impression, but did not take away from our enjoyment of the suite. Everything was provided including cutlery and dishes, cooking utensils and a microwave (our unit did not have a fry pan, so we just borrowed the one from my other family member's suite and made sure to return it). The balcony did not have much of a view as it was surrounded by very close trees. I would rate the accommodations a 6 out of 10, but the grounds were the best part of this resort. The beach area was a favourite for my 3 year old son and was very convenient for other family members as there is also a pool adjoining it. There is a free DVD rental service through a kiosk which was very convenient and helped the kids settle at night. I did find the front desk staff could be a bit more ambitious and friendly. I would definitely stay at this resort again, however I would ask for a more updated unit (for example, my sister had a unit with newer berber carpeting, flat screen TV and new couch/loveseat)."

"This was a wonderful place to stay. The kitchen, two full baths, and three bedrooms made it extra special for my wife and kids, along with my mother. We told our friends about it and they booked a unit as well and were very please. The staff was always friendly and there when you needed them. The only thing I would have liked to see is more utensils and pots for the kitchen. But we made due with what we had. Also, we were on the bottom floor, which was great other than someone's little ones running around causing noise. All in all this was one of the best vacations we've taken and will come again."

"After reading all the reviews ... I must say that this resort was absolutely worth every penny we paid. Although it is off the beaten path you are still close to everything.. disney, shopping areas and excursions. The unit we had was in building #7 near the tradewind restaurant, pool right behind building and a dock and bay area. There was also a sandy beachy area for sunbathers with lounges, a nice touch! We did find the restaurant a little over priced for food and drinks. They post a sign that says no drinks allowed however that was not the case everyone brought coolers and none of us were ever approached about it. The pool areas are nice but we found the best to be around building 7. There are ponds with nature walks that are quite enjoyable for a nice stroll. The decor in the apts was average, some pieces of furniture show their age however it is clean and well maintained as are the beautiful grounds. Washer and dryers are a bonus so packing light was great. Everything u need to live like being at home is in the condo. There is an internet area on the second floor of the lobby for anyone who wishes ( a time card buy but reasonable u could even print out your boarding passes there no charge) Disney is about 15-20 min away by car and not once did we ever get snagged in traffic. We highly reccommend the Airboat excursion with Wild Willys Airboat .. you must book it on your own and get to it yourself ..a good half hour away in St Cloud. Along the way there are lots of flea markets and shopping such as Macys and K mart and plenty of restaurants of all types. We had such a blast on the swamp land getting really close to the gators and blue herons etc... it is an experience to remember.. The cost $40 per person for an hour well worth it!!! The disney shops along the I-92 are generally all the same merchandise and the same as Disneys only a little cheaper... however Walmart is the place to go for all of it and so much cheaper for the exact same thing.. insane!! Overall a great place to stay and we will definetly be planning a big Family vacation in the very near future back here.. no regrets just great memories!!!"

Free DVDs were enjoyed all week long and it is far enough away from the Disney crowds but close to all attractions, restaurants and stores. I4 to US27 is still the best way in, not US192. "

"The condo was very nice and had everything we needed except no Bar-B-Q for grilling. We purchased a George Forman to cook our steaks on for the trip, so if you have one bring it. Balconly was very small and could only hold two people for sitting and since we are smokers this was not ideal. One big issue we had was that we had to purchase drinks at the pool areas per the sign placed at the entrance. On a daily basis we purchased a few drinks from the bar and flet like we were having to smuggle drinks into the pool area so we were not spending 100 per day just on drinks at the pool. Beside these facts this was a nice place and we made a great vacation in Orlando/Davenport. Just like everyone to know what I didn't, be prepared for these little inconveniences. JR"

I have never encountered this in all my years of travelling. I am 48 and very easy going, but a dirty buggy room is not acceptable"

The linens are not the best nor are the pillows the best quality but they are comfortable for the price. You will not recieve fresh towels or linens every day or any day you stay. There is however a washing machine and if you like nice towels or pillows then I would advise you take your own. Otherwise, you will love your stay with its many pools and beautiful grounds."

"Everything was very nice on the resort. The only grip I have is that the showers were not clean. Hair was all over the shower wall in both showers which made me wonder if the sheets on the bed were clean as well. The soap to shower with was about 2 inches around, very cheap and only good for washing your hands, not your body. They did not provide any dish soap to wash dishes throughout your stay. So I guess with the inexpensive rate you shouldn't expect quality cleanliness...Bring your own body wash, hand soap, dishsoap and buy a bag of ice if you plan to use any the moment you get there. Also if your traveling on the turnpike...take lots of quarters for tolls.."

"What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be. Not only was the property very well maintained and the rooms clean and spacious, the surrounding area was beautiful. It was hard to believe we could be in line at any of the Disney parks in a maximum of 20 minutes yet feel so far away from the commercial bustle of Orlando. The resort is set back at least a mile from the main thoroughfares and is interspersed with a variety of wildlife reserves. The buildings are elegant three story villas that quietly blend in with the tropical surroundings. There is minimal contact with hotel staff - it truly feels as if the place is yours - and therefore none of the sometimes unwanted pressure of service. And the many pools were ideal. If we return to Orlando, we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else."

"The carpets could use a good shampooing, but we were very pleased with the resort. The first view is a beautiful waterfall and lighted sign at the enterance. There is a security guard on duty and the front desk was quick to take care of loud tenants above us. There are multiple pools and hot tubs a small library, free video games, dvds, and computers available for use. The kiddie pool was very cold, which was a bummer, but the main pool had a nice temperature so they were ok to play in that. Would definiately come again. Its about a 10 min drive from Animal Kingdom and about 15-20min from the other Disney parks. Just off the main road with lots of restaurant options!"

"I chose this place off the internet after looking at many places in the Orlando area. Not knowing the area I didn't knowwhat to expect. Was I pleasantly surprised! The grounds are gorgeous-the villa was the cleanest I've ever had the pleasure of staying in-not even a hair in the bathtub or shower.We had all the dishes & utensils we needed & the beds were extremely comfortable. We stayed for 8 days & got to know the other guests & the wonderful staff quite well. The staff kept thanking us for choosing their resort & asking if there was anything else they could do for us. The maintenance crew gave us rides on the golf cart several times when we needed a ride. The food & drinks in the restaurants are delicious. Thank you Bahama Bay for such a wonderful get away. I loved it so much, I'm already planning a trip back in the fall."

"While theresort is NOT as close to Disney as they'd like you to think, It was WONDERFUL! We are a family of 6 and have lots of family in Orlando, staying here, we had family coming and going with us and there was plenty of room and amenities to enjoy. It was clean, the staff was quick to respond to any concerns or questions and the resort was RELAXING! We will definitely return for our next family vacation."

"Our stay was fantastic. We booked a two bedroom suite and were upgrated to a three bedroom for free when we checked in. The suite was spacious and clean. The screened in boucany was small, but had a nice view of trees between the builings which gave you some privacy. The pools and play areas where very nice, we used several of the pools and the kids play area and enjoyed all of them. The only thing negative I can say about the resort is the food quality is very poor, we received a sandwich on moldy bread. But the staff was extremely nice and took care of the problem immediately. Also, be aware there there no elevators when you book your room. Our room was on the third floor so there was a lot of walking up and down stairs. This did not bother me, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. I can't wait to go back!!"

"The resort itself was pretty nice. The only issue we had was that my friend had flowers delivered to the resort and there was no apparent attempt to have them delivered to the room. There were no messages left, when we were out of the office, etc. They stated that there was not enough information available, but my name as well as her name were both on the delivery card and they had the room number. The managment when asked about this had no explanation and seemed to have a lot of excuses."

"We just returned and already the family wants to go back. Apartment was really spacious & clean, beautiful grounds & the pool areas are fantastic. The hot tubs were great for relaxing in after a hectic day in the parks. we felt we got a great 3BR villa at a great price. Surprisingly, our villa was huge and you really felt like you were at home. As a matter of fact, whenever we returned from an outing the kids would say, "It's time to go home and relax on the balcony. The location was excellent, only minutes from shopping, restaurants, and theme parks. We're already planning our next stay there. I highly recommend this place."

Everything was great and the staff was more than willing to help with directions to places or anything else that might be needed. Our villa was big and was equipe with everything that was needed. My kids loved it. It is a bit out of the way to some of the attractions but Disney is pretty close. There is both a super walmart and Super Target super close by. Def would stayh here again."

"I don't usually review places to stay but thought I had to because this place is unique. We booked it for $93 a night which was very cheap around there. Plus it is huge, two bedrooms, a whirpool bath, kitchen, room, tons of space so that is a big benefit over the hotel room. But when you get there it is actually $100 more- $65 is the cleaning and then $9 a day resort fee or something like that. It still ends up being a decent deal but not an amazing deal like I thought. Also we asked for extra towels and sheets and they don't do that there, they don't do any housekeeping. I would still recommend the place, hot tub was great, its a quiet place (not very close to Orlando though, that part is tricky its far with traffic). "

"Theres a cleaning fee of $65 and resort fees per day as soon as you check in. They do not clean your villa, however! This villa was outdated and small. The beds were not properly done nor clean. I requested some trash bags and they said that I would have to purchase them because they only give you a starter package. If you are going to stay, make sure you request the upgraded villas but be mindful to BRING EVERYTHING YOU NEED AND HIDDEN FEES!"

"We are parents of a 2 & 4 year old and we've been here 4 times in the last 2 years and LOVE it. Always spacious, clean and the staff courteous and helpful. We will stay here EVERY time we go to Orlando (2 bdroom deluxe). We know what to expect when we arrive; it's like home away from home. Private and quiet. Even the other guests have been very nice, unlike other places we've stayed where kids are not being watched and bullying, rough splashing or using foul language has been a problem. Splash pad area and playground are a BIG plus. If you need to go elsewhere, it's 15 minutes to DISNEY and 35 to SEAWORLD & UNIVERSAL. The ONLY down side... the beds, although new, could be more comfortable."

"We arrived in the evening time. My children were ready for bed. Upon opening our room door the fire alarms were going off and on. It took them a half an hour to send someone to fix them. The pool that has the restaurant in it DOES NOT stay open til 11 instead they close at dark. Leaving the clubhouse pool open til 11pm. Not adult friendly at all. When purchasing drinks from the bar and restaurant located on the resort property you can not take any drinks back to your room where you can relax and have a cocktail when you have a 1 year old that doesn't belong at the bar past 7pm It was a nice resort but they need to look into modifying these inconveniences."

Last vacation in Orlando this fee was waived. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the unit. The carpet floors were gross, and the silverwear was not clean fortunately we brought our own. The pool and the workout area were good however the staff seemed to annoyed at even a request for service. Even the manager looked like he wanted an apology for even bothering him. Simple recommendation......check out another location and make SURE you do NOT AGREE to a CLEANING FEE. No reason to hide pricing!!!!!"

"Wow! I cannot say enough about this place! We have 4 children, ages 17 to 4 and they all enjoyed the stay and the pools. We were conveniently located to Disney, yet out of the hustle and bustle. Units were clean, not immaculate, but clean. Bedding and towels were fresh, and having a washer and dryer within the unit was wonderful. Only had a brief problem with the A/C but the staff took care of it quickly. Had all the kitchen supplies that we needed, though a nonstick skillet would be a nice addition!! The grounds were clean and well maintained, even witnessed staff power washing siding and patios while we were there. Nice tropical atmosphere and family friendly, I will be telling all of my friends that this is the place to stay. Great Value!!"

"I called and asked for a first floor by the pool, we were on the third floor as far from the pool as they could put us. They would not change us, the table to sit at was in the middle of the walkway to the living room, we had to move two chairs just to be able to go thru. The TV was so small, I have not seen one like it in about 15 years. The master bath was not as you see in the photos of the place, it was very small and the 'on site' restaurant is just pizza but is very clean and has real napkins!! We will go back there and NEVER stay here again. Well, good luck if you choose it, the price was cheap but now we know why."

"My family liked the resort even though most of our time was spent just sleeping. I did have a problem the first night that I didn't but should've complained about. THE BED I worked in hotels and one of the first things you check is the bed's sheets. These sheets were POPPED, this means that the housekeeper didn't change the sheets on the bed for whatever reason. There was hair on the bed and the sheets were wrinkled and not as clean as they should've been if they were washed. This is my only compliant and as upset as I was at the time I just changed the sheets myself and called it a day. We would return. Maybe next time we will try somewhere that doesn't have so many fees and a deposit hold of $200."

"Overall, I was very pleased with the facility. Check-in staff was very friendly. It was easy to get to the theme parks. Having read the reviews about supplying extra toilet tissue, dish soap, etc. prior to getting to Florida was very helpful. The only negative was the kitchen. The floor was dirty, refrigerator draws did not slide properly, microwave door was cracked, bring plenty of Pam Cooking Spray if you plan to cook (aweful cookware), and the oven door opened as if it would drop off if you did not hold onto it. Was in Florida last year and stayed at a competing resort. Even though it was more modern and exceptionally clean in all aspects, it was also more expensive. Also, I did not care for the setup or staff there. The hotel's setup and staff have my vote hands down. I would most definitely return."

"My family and I arrived at the resort and checked-in in a short amount of time. In making the reservation, we didn't realize there would be a $65 cleaning fee. A $200 hold was also put on our credit card. After getting over the initial shock of that, we arrived and entered into the condo. Overall, the condo looked very nice. It did have some age to it. There was a T.V. in the master bedroom and the living room. That made for compromise so everyone could see what they wanted to see on T.V. The linen on the bed didn't seem that fresh. It was clean. It seem the owner was making as little investment as possible. The bathroom had a walk-in shower. I actually could have liked using the shower if the water pressure had been high enough. I made due but my wife used the other bathroom to shower. The furniture was somewhat worn but otherwise the condo was in decent shape. The bed was okay but not plush. Overall, for the price we paid the accomodations were okay but had the price been higher, I wouldn't have stayed there. For what we wanted to do in getting away for the weekend, the resort served its purpose."

"Large spread out complex. Might need to walk alot. 3 stories of rooms. Ours was on 3rd floor (lots of stairs). Great size rooms (we had 3 br). Close to parks, 10 min to Animal Kingdom, 20 to Magic Kingdom. 30 minutes to airport. Many eating and gift shops nearby. Great value compared to disney resorts. I did not see any cab services at the resort so you should rent a car if you plan on going anywhere. Small alligators in ponds. The dock was closed during our stay but would have been great for fishing. We were locked out of our bathroom and staff came within minutes to open the door. Screened in patios. 2 of the pools have restaurant/bar service. One was shut down the entire time we were there but we used the other pool with sand area anyway. Drinks were expensive but there was no pool side service so most brought in food/drinks. Overall great experience!"

The condo was spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed the setting of both restaurants and the food was tasty. The staff at the club house were always available and helpful with answering questions. We would definitely want to come again!"

Avisekh Ghosh from Greensboro, North Carolina
"We checked in around 10 PM after a very tiring long drive. I was charged $200 as deposit and $93 for resort fees. I had no idea of this charge before. When asked, the front desk said that this is the charge that everybody need to pay. It was a displeasure to know that I had to pay $93 as resot amenities fees which i never used. The rooms were a bit messy and stinky. On the very first morning I woke up, I was surprised to see some red patches on both my hands only to realize there had been some bed-bugs. PROS: the kitchen was great with all the facilities."

"After some trouble in check in everything was great. One staff that was not very friendly, but overall the rest were very nice. Loved our 3 bedroom condo and the grounds. only complaint is the pools are not very warm and it did say they were heated. Hot tubs were nice and hot, also all pools need to be opened later than 630. Enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place"

We walked around the complex almost every morning . It was beautiful. We liked the Resort better than the place that we stayed last year. Loved this place ,no complaints."

Lore from Laurel, MD
"The pros: The best thing about the Resort is the size of the units. Everything is full size and my family enjoyed having a private room for everyone. The 3 BR has two full baths, a good sized living room, full sized kitchen. Small screened sitting area off the living room and the master bedroom. Kitchen has all of the basics, including cookware, ceramic dinner ware, glasses, wine glasses and plastic dishes and glasses for 8. We got a special 50% off the normal price rate such that even when I factored in the cleaning fee, the resort fee, and daily theme park parking, it was about $100/night. The on-site restaurant was quite adequate for a don't-feel-like-going-out-or-cooking meal; in fact, our pizzas were quite good. Check in was easy. Pools were in good shape. Grocery stores, SuperTarget, other shopping and restaurants are nearby. There's a nice playground and splash area for children. The cons: You'll be driving 25-30 minutes to any of the main attractions and in peak season I'm guessing that drive could be longer. There are a lot of traffic lights on US192. There are several pools on the property, but only one open after dark (at least while we were there) and even in the first week of March, the pool and the hot tubs were quite busy. Hot tubs were full every time we looked; the resort apparently caters to sports teams and there were a number of college baseball teams there during our stay. The unit we had was on the worn and tired side--kitchen cabinets are delaminating, the master bedroom carpet needs replacing, furnishings feel old,TVs are old and small (the latter was unimportant to us, but might be more important to others). The unit was pretty clean overall, but our floors were in need of some serious work. Fortunately, there was a vacuum in the unit. If you're looking for luxury and convenient location relative to Disney and Universal, this wouldn't be the best place. If you're looking for a lot of space for the money, room to spread out, and want to save some money on meals, this resort can be just the thing."

"Although we gave high overall ratings definitely do not recommend it because the fee per night is high. There are difficulties with the internet connection from the rooms and is far from the parks and attractions. If you want to come to rest only, without leaving it to be a master hand so come and enjoy"

"Spent a week here , Feb 26th - March 4. We loved the quiet atmosphere away from the Orlando hub bub. Staff were very efficient and there seemed to be more than enough working the front desk all the time . Grounds are well kept and our condo was very clean . Closed door to washer and dryer came off the track , first thing and we called the office and a maintenance man there to fix in less than 10 min . We did know about the $65.00 cleaning fee at the end and also $5.95 resort fee extra .They do hold a $200.00 security fee when you book in , but if nothing damaged it is refunded at the end of your stay . Which is fair , I think . Thanks again for a Great holiday and can't wait to go back . "

"Room was nice and way too big because of the free upgrade but had the smallest porch area I've ever seen. Beware of 99$ cleaning fee and 200$ security deposit they charge at check in on top of what u pay for the room. Pools were great and the resort very friendly atmosphere even though my girlfriend and I are younger and most of the crowd was either retired or families we met a lot of fun people to interact with. Could use some upkeep has free pool tables and darts but all of the pool sticks and darts are broken. Bartender out at the lake pool was awesome make him sing some karaoke he kills it. Overall it was a great deal at the 69$ a night deal and we had a blast but I would only return if I could get another deal like that. The 169-199$ usual rate seems way to expensive for this resort."

"Good location, great value for larger families. I have a family of 6 (two adults, four children) and having 3 bedrooms and 2 baths was a must. After long days at the parks it was nice for everyone to have their own space. Positives: Location, space, beautiful well maintained property Negatives: Pots & Pans quality, beds were not 'super' comfortable and the Florida motif. Don't get me wrong the decorations was not really outdated, everything just had big flower patterns on it."

"Just returned with my wife and I will say this place far exceeded my expectations. The villa was clean and in great shape. We booked a 2 bedroom but received a free upgrade to a 3 bedroom. Didn't need the space this time but now know I can bring family if I want next time and have no problem with space. There are 2 screened in patio spaces and open living room. Staff was friendly. Don't worry about the cleaning fee or resort fees. The nightly rate is so reasonable you won't mind paying. It is by far the best value and very close to Disney and Sea World."

Otherwise, very enjoyable stay - grandkids spent hours in the pool area. Facility Is about twenty minutes from the theme parks but we enjoyed getting away to the peace and quiet of the resort.

On the up side, the staff at the restaurant area was very friendly and helpful, so it was to this staff that we directed our questions. We plan to go back to this resort next year."

Other than that for the price per night we were more than happy. It could definitely use a facelift on the interiors."

"Check in time was very late (4pm) and check out time was very early (10am). There is no bus service to the Disney Parks a courtesy service which is provided by many other hotels in the area which meant a daily $14.00 Disney parking fee. We stayed in a spacious three bed apartment which was excellent and fully equiped with reasonable quality linen, towels, utensils etc., The swimming pools were well kept and drinks at the Tradewinds pool side bar were reasonably priced. A refreshing change from the herrendous rip-off prices charged for food and drinks inside the Disney parks Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would return again"

"The staff were excellent. Accommodations were clean and well maintained. A shuttle to the theme parks would have helped. The elements on the stove worked very erratically. The largest element heated up quickly but the heat was hard to regulate. The other smaller elements took a long time to heat up. A cheap non-stick frying pan would have been helpful as the frying pan in the room stuck like crazy and had to be soaked and scrubbed after every use. The knives were extremely cheap and dull. A slightly better chef's knife and a cheap hand sharpener would have been helpful to keep the knife's edge. The resort was beautiful but far away from everything. Hopefully in the future public transportation will expand to service this area. It would have been nice to have a bath in both washrooms."

"Nice pools, white sand on the little beach. Lake behind it where some were fishing, but don't think they are actually catching anything. We came for a quick 2 night stay on our way further south in Florida. Got take out from the little restaurant on the property, pretty good stromboli, big enough for two. Although disappointed because I had ordered a calzone (the difference is in the cheese) Got a three bedroom condo, even though it was just the two of us, so more room than we needed. Basically clean, stocked kitchen. Very hot when we got in, as though the air had just been turned on prior to our arrival. Fridge also took forever to cool down. Bedding(sheets and mattress) definitely could use an update. When we arrived we realized we were on the third floor, with no elevator. Don't mind the exercise, except when carrying a bunch of luggage. Called front desk to ask about being moved to a lower level, and was told they had no other availability,even for a smaller unit. Funny, in our section there was maybe 2 other cars the whole time, didn't look full to me. Biggest disappointment was at check-in when we were told we owed an additional $85 for the one-time cleaning fee and 2 nights resort fees. Girls at the reservation desk must get this all the time, since they tag-teamed us about why they charge this and it is in the fine print. It is what it is. No, I guess I didn't read the FINE print. Had it been in the price up front, I would have gone elsewhere and paid way less than the $125 a night it ended up costing us. If we were a family with a few kids, staying 7 nights or more, it would have been a much better deal, since you pay the same one-time cleaning fee as someone staying 2 nights. I dropped the keys off when we checked out, way earlier than expected check out time, the guy at the service desk couldn't even say have a nice day, hope you enjoyed your stay. Nothing."

"I felt first of all, that the cleaning fee should be included up front, instead of hidden in the fine print. $85 for 2 days was a bit steep. Next, our unit had stains on all he carpets, a four inch hole in the arm of the sofa, many chips, dents, and scratches in the furniture. The grounds were pretty, but difficult for a handicapped person to get to the individual pools. There were no activities for the kids. It was a drive from Orlando and it's kind of out in the middle of nowhere. Staff was friendly, place was clean, I've been to better places."

"The condo we stay in was beautiful. we were told we had been upgraded from a two bedroom to a three bedroom condo. when we arrived we were told they were upgrading us to a two bedroom deluxe I said no it was suppose to be a three bedroom. and they said it was based on availability.... So we took the two bedroom and we really enjoyed it. (we really didn't need the three bedroom as most of the week there was my husband and I and one child). My mother came for part of the week and ended up sharing the room with my son. The Master bedroom had a king bed and master bath has a shower and separate soaker tub. the other bedroom had two twin beds and another bathroom. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. and the screened in patio was large and we used it daily. The pools were very nice. not much of a kids club (really is just a playground) My son loved the fishing dock but it was a good 15 min walk from our unit. there is a parking are if you want to drive. we went to the bar for a drink during happy hr ( buy one get one free) but price still seemed to be high. $ 7.50 for 2 beers and a soda for the child free pool which my husband and son played during a passing shower. I didn't eat at the restuarant prices seemed high. plenty of places a short drive away. overall was a very nice stay and would deffinately would sty again."

"Very clean, property kept up nice. Like an apartment complex. Very big. Stayed only 3 days, would have liked to stay longer to enjoy a few more things like the spa. Made it to the restaurant, good dinner and they had our favorite beer! Walked around the nature trail and the property. The room was immaculate. Knew about the cleaning and resort fees. Got to watch a few DVD's for the resort fee. The cleaning price is no big deal given how big the room was. It was a 3 bdrm with kitchen, living room, 2 bath and dining area. TV's in every bedroom and the living room. There are 4 pools, basketball and tennis courts. This place was as cheap as any other motel we stayed at on the way there and was 3 times the size. It felt like you were coming home every night. If we are back in the area again, will definitely stay again."

"The place was Awesome. It exceeded my expectations. It was a home away from home. We loved it! When we first walked into the 3 bedroom villa, which was an upgrade from the 2 bedroom villa, we were in awe. It didn't seem like a rental, but a place where someone lived in. It came fully equipped with everything, cooking utensils, cups, plates, glasses, even wine glasses, cooking bowls, vacuum cleaner, and everything you can think of that you would have a home. Every bedroom were equipped with Flat Panels TVs which were mounted on the walls. For once, my sons didn't have to fight over the TV because they all had their own. It had a huge dining room and glass dining room table which would accommodate a dinner party if you wanted to have one there. It was very nice and comfortable. The premises were clean, the carpet was brand new in our unit as well as the beds. I would definitely go back to this place to stay. The only drawback was that it was a ride away from the amusement parks, and very far from Legoland, which was our main reason for going to Orlando. Otherwise than that, if you don't mind driving a good 30 minutes to the parks, I'd say this place is the best place you can stay. LOVED IT! Didn't want to leave."

"This was our 2nd stay at Bahama Bay Resort, and we were very happy once again!! We love the convenience of having space to spread out as a family, and the size of the condo is wonderful especially compared to a hotel room or suite. The kitchen is wonderful, as is having laundry inside our condo. The facilities are also great. My son loved the basketball court, and our whole family loved the pools and hot tubs at the resort. There is a Walmart 5 minutes away and it's very nice to have somewhere so close to stock up. The resort is very beautiful, and the landscaping is lush and just what we love to see on vacation. We will most definitely stay at Bahama Bay again for a third time!"

"During our 11 day stay at the Bahama Bay we were very disappointed with the overall condition of the resort. We were referred to the resort by a friend of the family who had stayed there a few years earlier. My family and I were awaken by the sounds of constructions on a daily basis. The pools and hot tubs although nice appeared as though they were not cleaned very often if at all during our 11 day stay. The villa was not what we were expecting from the torn comforters to the ripped and cracked lamp shades. It's overall appearance was that of a place forgotten about. The staff overall left you with a feeling of being on your own, with an exception of the bartender and the delivery guy who both were great. Advice for those of you who are brave enough to stay here buy your own TP and dish soap because the resort does not supply you with any toiletries whatsoever. The only thing the resort has going for it is the location. My family and I will NOT be going back it is unfortunate that the excitement of going to Florida was over shadowed by the conditions of the resort."

"My family has just returned from a week stay at the Bahama Bay Resort. if you have special accommodations or needs make sure to call ahead and confirm Bahama Bay received your requests AND bring your receipts.
The Resort was an amazing value and perfect place to stay away from the Disney Parks. It was a good distance between the Disney Park and the Universal Parks. Close enough to restaurants (15 minutes approx) - if you wanted to eat out of the parks at the end of the day. We also traveled with other families that stayed at the Bahama so we could be close but have our own spaces.
** IF you are picky about your sheets, pack your own - they are a bit rough. Bring or plan to buy at the local store: laundry detergent, soap for the shower/bathroom, kitchen soap, toilet paper, and if you have kids bring a night light for their rooms!!

"My family and me stayed here Oct. 2012.
This will be our second time staying here.
When we go back to Florida next time we will stay here again.
We had to make deposit of $200.00 dollars for room service though,
But you get it back on your card when you check out.
You do have to go grocery's to get soap coffee and wash your own towels,they provide washer and dryer in the room
You get a big kitchen and bathrooms in both rooms and very quite here.
Great view from balcony also.
They also have internet available in your room where last time they did not.
I love it here and will deafeningly be back here to stay.

"Beds were not that comfy, lots of carpet stains...but that was the only down side. Plenty of room. Two teenage boys. Pool was right next to our building. Sorry we never got to the ammenities (DVD's, restaurant)..but the pool and basketball was fun. relatively quiet. plenty of necessary items and well stocked. Would definitely return !!!! Price was great. Great value for the money !"

"What can I say my wife and I LOVED it! It was such a wonderful experience even though it was a short stay. Absolutely beautiful resort with big condos. I stayed in a 3 bedroom 2 bath villa it was beautiful with everything you need for your stay. They make so comfortable. The pool and jacuzzi were wonderful a very peaceful place you and your family can enjoy. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely come back again and recommend them to all my friend and family. Thanks you for a wonderful stay."

"My family and I was very pleased with our stay at the Bahama Bay. The grounds were very clean and the staff was friendly. We definitely plan on revisiting again. The only down fall I will say is the 2 small TV's in a 3 bedroom. The kids wanted to play their games while the adults watch movies. I'm not understanding why the TV in the master room is so far up the wall, but that was small stuff because we kept the kids busy. The attractions were only 10-15 minutes away."

"We recently stayed at the Bahama Bay June 17 - June 22, 2012. We booked this reservation because the rate was amazing for a three Abacos bedroom condo about 1/2 hour from the Disney Parks. The folks at the front desk were terrific, very freindly and accomodating when we checked in and thorughout our stay with any questions, the security gate was nice to have and the gentleman that worked there during out stay was terrific, kind, funny and very helpful.
I was aware of the additional $65 cleaning fee and the $6 a day resort fee which we paid at check in. There is no housekeeping service during your stay so the $65 is to cover the cleaning after you check out.
The accomodations however are lacking a bit. Pillows are practically non-existant slivers of pillow cases, beds are truly, not that comfortable, while we slept because we were on the move 12 hours a day, I absolutely did not walk away saying , Oh, that bed is so comfortable. Linens are acceptable, a bit thin and worn. The carpeting is worn but not thread bare. Electronics are dated, and there are only TV's in the living area and master bedroom, the other two bedrooms did not have TV's - we were not there much so this was not an issue for us, but if you are planning a get away to a 'resort' this could be an issue for some. There is one Wicker sofa and one wicker loveseat in the living area - seating for about 4 comfortably, there is a Ceiling fan only in the main living space and the master bedroom - like tvs the other two bedrooms do not have ceiling fans. I like ceiling fans in FLA to circulate the airconditioning. The dining table seated 6 comfortably with a spare chair in the master bedroom, it was fine. The kitchen was stocked with all necessary cooking and eating supplies.
We did have an issue with children running noises from the room above us (we were on the middle floor) one night, but placed a call to security who responded to us in about 5 minutes and shortly after speaking with us the noise was gone.
We visited the pool area behind the main clubhouse, it was adequet, pool temperature was comfortable and there was sufficient seating. We also went to the pool area one day with the 'beach'. The thing to know about this beach is that it is a very nice, white sand area, it is not a beach, it does not go up to any water and is divided with the lake by a fence, sea grass and a sign that alerts for alligators. I mention this only so that folks don't think there is a beach where their children will play lakeside in the sand making sand castles.
We did not eat in either of the restaurants, use room service or the spa, so I can not comment on any of those.
Although we will not stay here again, (we did find the distance to the parks to far to take an afternoon break without losing hours), the stay we had was sufficient, again, you get what you pay for. We opted for this to save thousands on staying on Disney property. If going to Walt Disney World save your money and go when you can pay to stay on site, you won't regret it.

"This was probably the worst place I have EVER stayed.
I am still having nightmares of taking out plates and them still having old food stuck on them! OMG - it was just gross.
The rugs were filthy, the couch was dirty and ripped, the bathroom had black mold in the grout...It was just gross. I took pictures of everything it was that bad. I never even bothered to go up front, because they were uninterested and really - what were they going to do? Move me to another dump? I cleaned it myself the best I could and made the best out of it for my kids. My fiance and I were sitting on the porch the morning before we left and he said 'look under the bed'....bugs....dead bugs. I just packed up my stuff and got the hell out of there.
The beds are so uncomfortable, I would have rather slept on the floor - except the rug was too disgusting.
Also, everything is so cheap from the crooked refrigerator to the wobbly stove and our unit didn't even have a frying pan to make some breakfast with.
It's not as close as you think to the parks either. The main road to get out to the highway is completely crowded with traffic, which added on at least 15 minutes to every ride.
Never again. Absolutely Never Again.
Worst. Place. Ever.

"The room was ok with regard the size, cleanliness, furniture, utensils, etc. One day I returned to the Hotel after a long day at the parks, and the whole condominium was without electricity. They told me that there was a problem of FPL, but then I discovered it was an internal problem, and the Manager in turn didn't even want to lend me a flashlight. Another employee seeing I was completely alone with my mom, child and baby got a flashlight for me in order to get into the room. Children crying, a nightmare. Then, I forgot two chargers in the room, one for my blackberry, and the other one for the camera. I called the same day to notify them of that, and pass by for my belongings. They answered me, they couldn't find the chargers, and of course, they were so sorry. So, I'm very disapointed since it's obvious that somebody took my chargers, and nobody is responsible at the hotel for that."

"The location was fine. It was generally 30 minutes to Orlando attractions unless there was traffic. The staff was friendly, though not efficient since follow up to requests did not take place, such as our request for another packet of dishwasher soap. The condo unit was fairly clean, but the carpeting was not. The kitchen had the basics we needed but no frying pans for making eggs or fish, only pots.

"Great price!! For location and accommodation . With three kids it was very comfortable for a big family to stay.The only thing they should make the customer aware that there is no housekeeping daily for me it was not mayor problem but they should have cleaning products at the villas. But in overall it was great !!!"

"We booked this resort for the end of our Disney vacation for just 2 days. I researched it because the deal was so good and was still a little nervous upon checking in. When we drove onto the lot we loved what we saw.The staff was fine but not great, they were not what I would expect for such a pretty resort in Orlando. The rooms were fantastic, and my family loved it. It was a great place to relax after 5 days at Disney. We went to the grocery store and stocked up on food (too much for 2 days) and ate in our room. We were surprised that there were no supplies to clean since there was no daily cleaning service. I don't mind it, I just wish I would have been told as I could have been prepared. The $65 cleaning fee is high for 2 days but would be fine for a full week. We will be booking again but will remember to bring our household supplies. So loved the resort, completely worth it, bring your cleaning and laundry supplies and you'll love your stay as well."

"LOVED...LOVED....LOVED.... Enjoyed everything not a single compalint. The condo was a good size with lots of room. Very clean and had everything we needed. Close to Disney and we had no traffic problem from here. The kids loved it so much they wanted to move there. I cannot say enough about this place on how pleased we were with our time here and the great price we paid. If you are wanting to travel to Disney and would like to save some money on your stay but not give in to a cheap motel believe me this is the place for you. It was way above my expectations and a very nice and safe neighborhood. We will stay here every time we go to Orlando area. My only issue now is finding a place that nice again for this years vacation."

"Facilities are very nice though the unit we had did not have all the ammenities listed in our reservation. Pools are positioned for easy access from many buildings and are kept very clean, they have bathrooms. These are self-contained units, you have to supply such things as TP and salt-n-pepper yourself. We were on the second floor and could hear very well all the third floor activity. WiFi service is available but unreliable unless you go to the clubhouse. The HUGE problem with this resort is the level of service provided by the staff at the clubhouse. My husband sent flowers and they were not delivered for 24 hours after he called twice asking if they were. He finally told me to go get them. I spoke to both a customer service person and the manager about why they weren't delivered and was first told they didn't have the proper name, they did right on the card, and then that they didn't know which room I was in, they did since they had written it on a post-it and put it on the vase. My husband called to suggest they do something to make up for their mistake and they chose to do nothing. If you can live with NO SERVICE at all this is worth the money but if you like people to understand and deliver customer service you should NOT stay at this resort -- there are plenty of others willing to go the extra mile."

One of the queen beds were very uncomfortable and my mother-in-law had to sleep on the couch. Other than that we enjoyed the pool everyday with the kids!"

"I had just finished a ministry conference in Orlando. I was in need of some well deserved R & R. I booked four days at this resort believing this was going to be just what I needed. What a great place; away from the crowd, but still close enough if I wanted to mix in. The unit was unbelieveable; spacious and clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The screened balconies really added to the comfort of the unit. I can't wait to return for a longer, more fun filled stay. The unquestionable value made me wish I'd found this place before. Too bad there are no outdoor grills; this place would be perfect."

We will definitely go back again."

"When I did my booking I inquired on how many levels the building had,and requested a first level location, well when we got there found out that we were on the third floor. This was an inconvenient since we were traveling with two four year old children and my son had a recent knee injury.
Found our pillows to have some hair which led me to believe that the sheets had not been changed, luckily I like to travel with my own sheets ."

Whenever you would see them anywhere around the resort they were waving and saying hello like they had met you personally. I loved it so much that we extended from 7 days to 9 days. Thanks for making our R&R amazing. This was just what my husband needed before returning to Afghanistan."

"We got in later then we expected, but Ricky the night manager made it easy. It was very foggy and we missed our exit due to poor visability. Ricky stayed on the phone and talked me throught the directions. He then sent the night security out to the main road to guide us in and then that same gentleman took us around to our building. Our villa was clean and the view was awsome. I had a wonderful facial at the spa and will visit a again. My famiy and I are already planning next year's stay."

Resturant, pool, and most of all the 3 bdrm. condo style room was fantastic!
My entire 5 nights was about the same price as 2 nights at Disney.
Food at the resturant was great and the staff was super nice.
Staying here next time when I bring my whole family to Disney. BTW, Disney was less then 10 miles away."

"Easy to find, External appearance was very good. Front gate security was very effecient. Check-in was prompt and courteous. We were upgraded to a 3 Bdrm unit for our 3-night stay, which was very nice and allowed us to have 2 of our teenage grandchildren stay with us. Our family from Washington State were also staying there in a 3 bdrm unit for 5 days.
Our unit (202 in bldg. 6) smelled musty and was very dark and apparently had not been used or rented for sometime. We noticed a 'For Sale' info sheet on the counter. When sitting on the couches and moving the pillows around, again we noticed a strong musty odor. Twice we found live bugs on the carpet but after finding one in our bed, I took it to the front desk. The lady behind the desk did not want anything to do with it and asked me to throw it in the trash, instead of saving it to show your pest control people. Our bedroom and covers had a strong smell of urine even though the sheets appeared clean. The mattress was of very poor quality and we noticed plastic had been placed under it which indicated there may have been a bed-wetting situation at one time. When we got ready to leave on Sunday morning we had a flat battery, but when I called the front desk to see if we could borrow some jumper cables we were told they were not permitted to help with personal auto problems. No suggestions or other infomation very given. Fortunately I found an employee driving by and asked him about getting help and he immediately responded with a positive suggestion, He called a friend who came with his PU and gave me a jump-start. It turned a frustrating situation into a pleasant experience.
Overall we did not enjoy our lodging, and besides the lousy experience fishing in the polluted lake where no-one were catching any fish, us or the rest of the fisherm
