Sorry dj. I was away from my computer.
When asking how OL compares to a Starwood Resort, I'm not sure how to answer that. Starwood is one of our favorite resort hotel chains. Marriott resort hotels are nice too. We are preferred status guests at both. And they are in some fabulous locations. But trying to compare Orange Lake Country Club to a Starwood resort, is like comparing apples to oranges.
OL sits on over 1000 acres. It has more amenities than any other timeshare in the world, due to that. It's truly a mega resort. So, if you prefer a smaller, hotel type timeshare, OL is absolutely not for you.
Personally, I'd never consider swimming in Orlando in January. The outside temp's are just toooooo cold for my princess toes.
But we have definitely seen people in Splash Lagoon, which is heated, but not to a temp I could survive in.
However, the beauty of OL is that if it's too cold for swimming, the resort has tons of other activities to keep your family going all day.
It's located on Hwy 192.....which has every restaurant you can think of, shops, water park, go cart track, mini amusement park, etc. Between OL and Hwy 192.....you could spend the week without even seeing "the mouse".
