Marriott's Lakeshore Reserve

I have stayed at a few different Marriott vacation club resorts in Orlando and this one is the most relaxing. The lazy river is surrounded by lush greenery, you really feel like you are in the tropics and not in Orlando. The path to JW provides access to Starbucks and other restaurants. I had a wonderful breakfast at Citron and was able to charge it to my room. The food at Blossom was also better than expected. Everything you needed was there which made for a very relaxing stay. ||||I had 2 pool days during my week long stay and thoroughly enjoyed both. The lazy river temperature was perfect. While I didn't go on the waterslides, my brother in law enjoyed them so much he went on them 20xs (no exaggeration). ||||Bird watching here is great, there were many different kinds around the lake.

Two waterslides and large playground for the kids. Very nice Lazy River/Pool area with beautifully landscaped grounds. Restaurant with large patio has tasty, reasonably priced food. Ping-pong table, pool table & cornhole. Roomy units include townhouses. Great golf course.

Near perfection, feels like paradise and everything's beautiful and works just fine. We had an awesome time. Only bummer is that only towards the end of our stay did i discover that the gym has a full locker room that nobody uses with a steam room and sauna. Incredible. They should apply a tolerance to using the jacuzzi later than 11pm if people are quiet like other Marriott properties do.

It's hard to complain about a MVC. The rooms were amazing, the pool, lazy river, walking path, and beautiful palms were inviting and relaxing, helping us to maximize our vaca effect. It was a bit disheartening to see signs that it would be appreciated if we would take the sheets off the bed and throw all towels in the tub. While we're defintely 'for' not having daily cleaning - more environmental not getting a new towel each day, we felt that this request gave the MVC a bit of a 'European Hostel' feel ... definitely not ideal for the owners. We've tried to get into this property for years and are very happy that we finally were able to enjoy the time here.

Pros: Kind and professional employees, fun pool area for adults and kids, amenities such as a fitness center, marketplace, and daily activities throughout the day Con: Housekeeping service is not routinely provided and MVC owners must pay an additional fee (in my case, $60) for a “tidying” of the room. I scheduled housekeeping service for a specific day and time but when I returned to the room several hours later on that day I saw the room hadn’t been touched. I scheduled the “tidying” service the day before I wanted it done and, in fact, spoke with the front desk the morning of to confirm the “cleaning” would take place at the time I requested - and they confirmed it would - but was disappointed to see later that day when I returned to the room that it wasn’t done. I spoke with the house
