Will recommend to everyone!!!
By ,
This resort was by far the best I have ever stayed in. Already made reservations for next April. I loved it. Everything I needed was in the room. Washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc. I will have to say, this is not a full service resort. You have to clean after yourself. I didnt have a problem with doing that at all. My children loved it, my husband loved it...I LOVED IT!!!!

Great amount of space for the money, few issues...
By ,
For a family Disney vacation, this property has a prime location that won't break the bank. They also offer a shuttle service to Disney which is always a good thing. We really enjoyed having a seperate bedroom for my wife and I. The lake view was really nice and right outside the front door you could see for miles, spotting some of the Disney spots. Some of the negatives were the bunk beds, which seemed would be very cool, had loose slats holding the top mattress in the bunk and a couple actually fell out while my daughter got up there the first time, so we had the kids sleep on the pullout sofa in the living room. Also, we really enjoyed the washer/dryer feature but didn't realize this meant laundering the towels for the unit ourselves, for there is no housekeeping. Not a big deal, but would liked to have known that before spending the whole day at Disney and planning on coming back to a made room with fresh towels for showering. I called the front desk and they informed me of this and when I asked to get a couple of towels that we could use right away for showers that I would be charged for them, that's pretty lame. The bed in the master suite was stiff, not very comfortable. Lastly, and this is not management's fault but the designers, the master suite in the one bedroom units is right by the front door and our bedroom window was literally right by the next unit's front door, rendering the window useless and more importantly hearing the door slam next door everytime. Those guests decided to start moving stuff down to their vehicle about 4 a.m. and we heard everything, made for a long day with no more sleep. Lastly upon check in, there is a little attempt to rope you into a timeshare presentation but easy to push them off if you just explain firmly that you're not interested (unless of course you are).

EXCELLENT
By ,
We have stayed at the Blue Heron twice and will return this summer for a third visit. We have stayed at alot of Orlando area hotels but this is by the far the best value for your money. It is a self-sufficient unit, not a hotel room. Absolutely no negative comments. Great pool, location,staff, and room.

Nicest part of our trip
By ,
Keep in mind that this is not a full service hotel, it is condo's that are being rented out. It is likely one of the most comfortable places I have ever stayed. It is so much nicer to stay at as opposed to Disney's resorts that offer no privacy for Mom and Dad or any other family members and is at least three times the price. As far as shuttle service goes there really isn't any. They claim to have it but it only runs in the morning and you have to find a way home. We would go to the park that we were going to last and ride the Disney buses, monorail and ferry to the other parks so it worked out fine. I want to add that Disney is crowded in October. With the dollar at an all time low over seas it affords ALL (not the creme de la creme) an opportunity to visit America. Good to see all the advertising overseas Disney is doing is paying off. I would love to stay at the Blue Heron again but will most likely never go to Disney again my 3rd and final visit.

Best Vacation !!
By ,
We just left the Blue Heron on a Five Day get away. I normally do not write reviews however; I had to take the time to say everyone was super nice. Our condo was great!!! I highly recommend this resort. It was so relaxing. I was able to sit and read by the lake while the sun set. I forgot I was in Orlando. Everything was clean and organized. Way to go to the management and staff!

Will not go back
By ,
We did not like: 1. Housekeeping was not included in the room rate. 2. Staff seemed untrained; our Sea World tickets were delivered to the front desk before our arrival but nobody seemed to be able to figure out a) if they provided the service of accepting our tickets or b) where in the hotel reception area they might be. 3. Expedia "conceirge" had no GOOD recommendations for dinner. We did like: 1. The lake view; alligator sightings were a bonus. 2. The close location to Sea World.

Spidertown
By ,
When my partner and I checked in for a weeks stay the first thing we noticed were the spiderwebs all over the place. The hallways, outside doorways, windows all were covered with spiders in their webs. After a couple of days we called the office to complain about them and were told that they would be removed by the next morning...they weren't. The "resorts" own info pack talkes about their "meticulous cleaning" yet, in the hallway of our suite there is a set of bunk beds...the ceiling above covered in dirty childrens hand prints as were the hall way walls. While trying to find the switch for the light over the stove I ran my hand against the bottom of the overhead microwave only to find it covered with gobs of old grease. The in room card mentioned that the room was last cleaned by Guido and Irene a full 2 and a half weeks prior to our checking in. The pressed plastic table top in the living room area had huge amounts of pink glitter down in the fake wood grain that a simple breeze blew about, we noticed this when, by accident, we brushed against the table while getting ready to go out and ended up covered in glitter. Both our front and back balcony floors were brown with old spiderwebs. Keys failed to operate the elevator many, many times. We eventually did what we should have done to start and checked into a Disney hotel.

THE BEST!
By ,
I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. It was great. Located around city life. I believe it was one the best vacations I've ever had. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Home Away From Home!!!!
Whomever said "there's no place like home" has never stayed at the Blue Heron Resort! This place was amazing and accessible to all parks. We stayed in a one bedroom condo and this was more than big enough for my husband and I and our twenty year old daughter and her friend. The staff was helpful, the other guest were gracious; we have absolutely no complaints and highly recommend this resort. We have been to Aruba and the Bahamas, but the Blue Heron Resort by far has been the best resort we have stayed at to date!
