Summer Bay Resort

I stayed Friday to Tuesday n the only thing I enjoyed was the room. Even though it was outdated it was nice. The service was horrible, the shuttle service was not convenient, and I given different information the whole stay. I would not stay here again and I would not recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay in a clean and accommodating resort. Our biggest complaint was the wifi — - they have a free option but it was absolutely terrible
And we couldn’t stay connected for longer than 15 minutes. If they fix this we will definitely be back.

We had a great experience at this resort. We mainly planned to take in Disney and Universal Studios, so we didn’t spend much time during he day at the resort. However, the suite we stayed in was clean and spacious. It was perfect having two bedrooms, a living area and a kitchen! We are a family of four with an 11 year-​old and a 9 year-​old. Perfect arrangement!

I booked thus resort through the Armed Forces Vacation club for a total of 309.00 for seven nights. We had a two bedroom condo directly across from Buccaneer Park which is a very nice place for kids. It was $ 25 bucks but considering the activities and cost at other places it wasn’t bad. The adventure park had: Rock climbing, bungee jumping (kind of like the ones in the mall), Zip Line across the pond (Awesome), a huge bounce house, bounce slide, and bumper boats. All was unlimited for the entire day. You add that up and it’s not bad price. Kids water park was free. Miniature golf $ 5, the beach activities $ 12, six heated pools throughout the resort some are open 24 hours. Gym, arcade, many other things. Pizza place was good and delivered. The room was fine not outdated as some reviews say. About 15 minutes from Disney. Close to Wal-​Mart and Super Target. My fifth trip to Orlando and I would be glad to stay here again. We had no issues at all. Staff very friendly!

I’m ready to make a Reservation for December and they just hang out the phone on me 3 times …
They charged me 69.99 dllrs for reservacion…
Them 18% adicional for each day on the resort

Stayed Saturday to Saturday and enjoyed our stay. The rooms could use some updating but overall our stay was enjoyable. Pool is nice, hot tub could have been warmer. I was a little disappointed on the cost of the water sport equipment.
Spent a day at Buccaneer Bay, the price was reasonable and the few people running the rides did an awesome job to be everywhere. But, it would have been helpful to have a few extra hands.

My family and I really enjoyed our time in Orlando. We have a time share, and we stayed in one of the single family homes. Decent size house, 3 bedrooms, 3 bath, pool, full equipped kitchen, washer/​dryer, pool, jacuzzi, single car garage.
We stayed in the corner house where the back patio faces the other buildings.
Although the patio is screened in, you don’t get much privacy.
Not mention the all the tour groups that stop and stare in while they’re being shown the property. It made us uncomfortable and annoyed.
The lay out the rooms are good but we encountered one MAJOR ISSUE. The infestation of ROACHES. Horrified, I only hope the owner of summer bay really address this issue. It’s gross!
Also, the pool looked and smelled very dirty. Either it wasn’t cleaned before our stay or the filter was not working. Also very gross to swim in. Especially that we have kids in our family.
In the future I will make sure to address the issues before scheduling my stay.

The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Grounds immaculate. The pools were clean When we did hit a minor glitch (case of a teenager not paying attention to his job) the Manager immediately fixed issue, Everyone was polite and really seemed to care about how our day was going! Resort was full and we got bumped to hotel but that was non-​issue, too as the shuttle will take you over, still get to use all amenities, no problem! Manager Paula is the best, made us feel welcome, wanted, and like we were visiting friends, not staying in a hotel! We will plan to return soon!

We stayed 1 week at Summer Bay and had a good experience overall.
Location: approximately 15 minutes from Disney Parks and 20 – 25 minutes to Universal
Overall Resort: We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo, very clean, fully equipped and modern. The kitchen has all major appliances (refrigerator, stove, oven, pots, pans, cooking utensils, silverware etc), washer, dryer. Towels are provided in condo
Pools: pools located throughout resort. My one and only complaint about the pool is that a few times a child pooped in the water, DISGUSTING!!! This however, is not the resort’s fault, but shame on the parents for not putting the child in a water diaper. The resort should enforce unpotty trained children to be in diapers. The pool was closed for 4 hours after for cleaning. Towels are provided at pools as long as they are signed out to your room.
Parking: free parking available, not sure if there is a limit per/​guest though
Overall very good experience, would definately visit again and recommend

Well EARNED five star.
Let me start by saying I did not Unilocal this hotel prior to coming and I’m glad I didn’t because the reviews would have scared me away.
I got a really good deal on
and by the way this hotel is reviewed highly on their site. So I figured I had to try it out.
First of all this place is beautiful! It looks like a townhouse development not a hotel. It feels very homey.
The staff during check in were awesome. Very nice and explained so much to us that the property has to offer. I think this is a plus because most front desk clerks just want to get you checked in and out of the lobby.
We got a 1 bedroom condo and WOW it was nice! Full kitchen! Big dining room table. Living room. Bedroom — nice sized bathroom and a pretty big balcony consider we did not book a suite. It sure felt like we did.
The décor was nice. It was NOT 1950’s. It’s not the Hilton either but it was nice.
The bed was big and comfy so that’s a plus! We had regular ac and a ceiling fan! I literally felt at home.
This resort is huge! There is so much to do here! Deff a family place. There’s golf (miniature) and water sports; even a kiddie park. And despite all the other reviews, we had ZERO issues with bugs.
I’m not sure if all the other reviews on here had just a bad experience or maybe we had a really good one? But
has reviewed this place very well so maybe not a lot of Unilocalers have reviewed this resort. Either way … Try it. If your coming to Orlando with your family and need a big space that won’t break your wallet — try it.
Personally, we would come back again!

This review is for the hotel portion of the resort… This place only gets two stars because it was a fairly cheap place relatively close to disney– I don’t expect just a whole lot at 70 bucks a night. We had the king suite, which was a room with tiny half wall partition between the bed and the sleeper sofa. Upon arrival, the staff tried to sell my wife on some «resort preview» to show us where everything was located. Free breakfast buffet and a $ 100 disney rebate for spending an hour and a half with them… Which sounded fishy to me, so we declined. Lo and behold, we spoke to a couple at the pool that went and ended being stuck out in the resort in a golf cart for over 4 hours. Ended up missing the opportunity to head out for a full day at Disney. Aside from that, the mattresses were hard as a rock, our microwave was busted and there were no linens for the sleeper. Though they have front gate security guards to make you feel safer, it’s just overall not my first choice. Though I would book here again in a pinch, if you have a choice, look elsewhere first.

Horrible units. Dirty and in poor repair. Staff was not helpful and they kept trying to hard sell us to upgrade.

Stay down the road at Orange Lake when you can. This place has some older units that are not worth the RCI points I used to book it. Womt come back unless its my only option.

I have stayed here three times total. The first time was a vacation out of a magazine. It was relaxing and so nice. Went back a year later with my fiancé and it was okay our condo was REALLY old and the TV broke. They came to fix it life went on. This stay though was something out of a horror movie. First night I woke to a 3 inch cockroach in the bathroom he ran under the washer dryer and never came out. No sleep that night. Second day called to spray no one came. Then we went a tour of the property and they showed up these beautiful updated units, meanwhile my couch is from the 1990’s and the bed is broken in three spots. I think that is my very last trip to the summer bay. I gave two stars because my first trip was nice but the last two left a lot to be desired.

We arrived at this resort, about 2 pm. We were told our one bedroom condo was ready. We checked in and were given our keys. Outside of the complex looked nice and well kept. We located our condo and tried to open the door to the foyer. The set up is two condos are paired together and are accessed via one foyer door. The key wouldn’t open the foyer door so we could get to our condo door. Luckily for us, housekeeping came by and opened our foyer door, we scanned our card to unlock the condo door, and it worked. So we called the front desk and reported it. They were short on the phone and insisted that the battery in the foyer door unit was dead and told us maintenance would be right up to fix it. When maintenance came, and they were there within mere minutes. We demonstrated to them that the scan card key worked the condo door, but not the foyer door. He said security would have to come fix it. 2 hours later, no one ever came, we went to the main desk and had them reprogram the scan card keys.
I might add here that the condo was immaculate, if not old and worn, however it smelled like Clorox and was very very clean.
We decided to go to bed about 10:00 after driving in from Texas. That’s when the party started in the next room. We were kept up all night listening to yelling, loud talking, kids running in and out slamming the doors so hard the windows literally rattled. They rang our doorbell and banged on our door sporadicly until 2 am or so. We complained the next morning and were told of it happened again to call security. Next night it all started again about 9 pm, (knocking on our door and doorbell ringing as well) we waited until 11:45 pm and called security, who came and asked them to be quiet. They did.
The third night it all started again. This time, they all got in a fight, we could hear every word, it was 1:00 am when we finally called security.
The resort had placed us in between a family of 15, who had 4 condos all in a row, with us in between them.
This trip was so bad that we would not even consider buying a timeshare here. Oh and the bugs, even though the place appeared to be so clean there were roaches everywhere. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
