Liki Tiki Village, Winter Garden

We stayed at LTV last week as a "getaway vacation" through another family member's timeshare. She had asked us to stay there to "test it out" because now that they have kids they are looking for a more family friendly place and the waterpark looked nice. Since we were extending our vacation longer than the 1 week getaway we booked an additional 3 nights. Since my getaway vacation included a 1 bedroom king suite & that was not an option for the additional booking, I called 1.5 weeks prior like I was told and was assured that our reservations has been linked and we would not need to change rooms. They stated we would be in a king room for the entire stay. Having stayed at our family member's timeshare resort, we were expecting similar accommodations. We arrived in the early evening the day of our check-in only to be told that we would be in 1 room for the first part of our stay and a second room for the second part of the stay. After a half hour of me stating that we wouldn't change rooms they put us in 1 room for the remainder of our stay. We got to the room and unpacked quickly before heading out to eat only to come back and discover the room was not a suite and had a queen bed (no separate whirlpool like we had paid for). We decided we were exhausted & would deal the next day. After showing we discovered that the shower did not drain & looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks with a nasty film on the doors! The next day when we went to the front desk they had initially said that they couldn't accommodate us in the room we had paid for through the time share getaway. It took some harsh words and a threat to call the timeshare company before they agreed to move us to the room we were supposed to have. I will say that they staff, while they didn't see interested in helping us move, did so very politely. The new room was bigger but definitely NOT better!! Here is what we discovered: - the shower leaked and smelled of mold - there was mold ALL OVER the bathroom - the rug was torn and shredded in the living room - wallpaper looks like it is from the early 80's - 1/2 of the kitchen cabinets were crooked & didn't open or shut - most of the pots & pans were broken or bent - there was a huge water stain/mold stain under the kitchen sink - there was no garbage disposal (the old room had that) - the kitchen water was backwards (my daughter burned her hand trying to get a drink of "ice cold water"- the bed creaked ALL NIGHT EVERY TIME YOU MOVED! - the breakfast bar stools were ripped, torn & wobbly (dangerous to sit on) - the couch was less comfortable than the floor - the porch wasn't screened it (it was in the wrong room which we thought was a nice touch) - the whirlpool tub appeared cracked and dirty - even with only 3-4 items the washer shook like an earthquake - the dryer constantly overheated (when it eventually died they came out & fixed it but then we had the same problem 2 hours later) Activities were nice! Our kids really enjoyed the pools and the water park was fun with the DJ. The playground was nice & a great place for our toddler. Be mindful that bikes, paddle boats, etc. are first-come, first-serve and they do not have a "wait list" even though they will tell you that you get the next one. Like when we waited 20 minutes only to have someone cut in front of us in line & get the next surrey and when I told them the guy said "Sorry, first come first serve" as if he hadn't seen us sitting there! All-in-all it's not the worst place that I have ever stayed in but 1) I would never buy a timeshare here (which we are considering) and 2) I will tell my sister to keep staying at her resort.

I stayed in the 600 building. The room I stayed in was very outdated with the absolute cheapest cabnets and countertops I have ever seen. The pots and pans are a joke. Take your own if you plan to cook. The "full" size refrigerator was about 5 ft tall. Old wallpaper in the bathroom. The bottom of the doors and cabnets are all chipped up. The room was realitively clean. Do not plan on using the main pool if you dont get there by 10am. The main pool had the appearance of a collge spring break party atmoshere, not family at all. The pool next to our building was better. We were able to bring in our own cooler. The bathroom door at that pool does not lock. Beware. Also, the blaring "country music" was annoying. I am curious as to why they were playing country music at a "polynesian" themed resort. There are gas grills set up that were extremely clean and I would recommend using. We initially booked ou stay for 4 nights but called before our arrival and added another night. We were charged at that time and apparently subsequently charged a second time sometime after that. After getting my credit card bill, I called LIKI TIKI only to get the rudest individual I have ever experienced on the phone who told me I was defensive and after I told him forcefully that I wanted his supervisor "NOW", mocked me by saying I will get you my supervisor "NOW". Unbelievable. The supervisor was no help and I ended up having my credit card company despute the charges. I payed $100 a night average, so with all being said, "you get what you pay for".

Liki Tiki is a wonderful place to stay and to have fun and enjoy yourself.. it was me the only daughter in the family my mom,dad,and lil,brother and older brother my silblings which my older brother who was 14 a i was 12 and my lil brother who was 8 ...Wonderful activites when we had booked a two bedroom, two bathroom room it was comfy and great.Such a nice time for family to have fun relax talk with each other.plus closer to the attractions like unvirseral studios. Dont know what place those people stayed at cause lii tiki is great But the bar which i think was Ship Sallys Reck they should sell better chicken probably the chicken i ordered which was i think hot wings but i thought that was nasty older brother though it was good Going back this year excitied and going back again in july

I would never recommend this "resort" to anyone. We have stayed in many resorts around Florida and this one is the worst. They continued to build new buildings, selling more timeshares and bringing in many more people to the resort but didn't increase the recreation area. The pool is unbelievably small and only suitable for young children. Also, if you aren't there by 10am you don't get a chair at all. Other timeshares continue to build more pools as they build more buildings but LikiTike is only interested in your money and they will nickel and time you to death. They even charge for dishwasher soap. The craziest thing that I saw there, however, was an aligator in the pond where they rent the paddle boats. My son stayed there in another unit and it wasn't even vacuumed. It was disgusting. Our unit was in a new building and was at least clean but the design was crazy. The sofa was at one end of the room and the TV at the other, separated by the dining room table and chairs so you had to watch TV (which was very small) at a distance of about 20' blocked by the table and chairs.

We stayed (family of five) 3 nights. The first villa we checked into was in pretty bad shape so we requested another villa on the other side of the resort. That second one was not much better. The kitchen and bath tiles were chipped and broken. One kitchen had two long cracks over the entire floor (encompassing appr. 8 tiles). The window were broken and they patched it with silicone which is a safety concern it had to defrost every morning just to look out of it.. The screen was ripped so I couldn't open window without insects coming in. No free internet which is unheard of these days even taco bell offers that. No pool towel service they provided towels in your room but if the kids don't bring them back from the pool they charge $10. Laminate counter tops with the cheapest cabinets one can buy (particle board or something really close to it and it was all chipped up). No cables in the second bedroom to hook up kids gaming system. Ice maker was out had to be repaired. Gym closed when the pool had to close due to weather. The kids pool was broken and had to fixed so the kids could not get in one morning for almose four or five hours. Then elevator broke for almost 24 hours and we had to use the stairs up 5 or 6 floors. Then the elevator was all torn up with the tiles chipped and wall panels coming down.

My wife and I and our 3 children checked in on Sat. 10/30/2010. Our first room was in the 1100 building, first floor. It was worn and old and not very clean, garbage can under the kitchen sink was full when we checked in and the ceiling fan in the kids room was about to fall off the ceiling. That night we noticed several small bugs in the room including roaches. When we woke up Sun morning my wife noticed several blood spots on the sheets in our room,we noticed even more blood spots on the kids sheets when we woke them up. What is even worse is that those blood spots hadn't come from us and, as confirmed by the head of housekeeping, appeared to be relatively fresh and had not been through the wash. It was very upsetting to watch the staff remove all the bedding that we just slept on wearing protective gloves. We complained and were moved to the 1200 building, fourth floor. This room appeared much cleaner and newer. That night however, every time we woke up to use the bathroom we found at least one, inch sized, cockroach somewhere in the master bathroom. I was able to kill several but some escaped through a tiny gap in the wall at the base of the shower door. When we woke up the next morning, my older daughter had well over one hundred bites all over her body and she was itching like mad, my wife and I had several bites also, these turned out to be bed bug bites. After complaining again, they attempted to move us to the 1300 building, but we had friends staying in the owner suites who hadn't had any problems yet so we convinced them to move us there. After we were there we didn't have any further problems, but unfortunately the damage was already done. We spent the first two nights there looking for and worrying about what else we were going to find, and every morning my daughter seemed to have more and more bites on her. So we lost several days at Disney and Universal trying to get this mess straightened out and my daughter has been on Benadryl every few hours for the last week to control the itching.

Liki Tiki was a wonderful place. Our unit was clean and had all the necessities. We had two teenagers who loved the waterpark, the pool, miniature golf, tennis and paddle boats. The people who had bad experiences must have been at another Liki Tiki. Everyone was very courteous and I would love to go back!

We recently returned from Liki Tiki and overall had a good experience. The pool areas are nice and have a lot to offer. The daily maid service is an addl. fee. I have heard complaints about bugs but the resort seems to be doing what they can, there are just a lot of bugs in such a humid, green environment. The main negative was that they nickle and dime you for some of the small things that (at least in the past) are usually complimentary (maid service, soap...) other than that no real complaints.

I loved liki tiki and an their bar Shipwrecks Sally's . Liki tiki is so relaxing and great for kids because they have a great water park , paddle boats, mini golf, playground and it was just great . Hope you guys have a wonderful stay at liki tiki. Bye Bye

Had a wonderful vacation apart from the internet. You pay 39 dollars for a week for internet that doesnt work. No need to complain as they say that you have to call to a number coz its a third party involved. I told them that I have nothing to do with a third party. When you log in it says Liki Tiki. So they give their name to something what doesnt work and no money return!!!!
