Lighthouse Key Resort

[jneen277]

Has anyone stayed here before? I've done a search and have seen people recommend but not really say how they felt about it? My family and I are staying there when we go next year. I am familiar with the area, I've stayed at Orange Lake several times before Holiday Inn took over.

We are staying in a 4br unit. Is the kitchen stocked with pots/pans/toaster/microwave/plates/utensils?

Does anyone know if the twin trundle bed separates into two separate beds? (It may be an issue if it doesn't, but we can try to work around that).

Since 3 of the 9 of us are flying on a Saturday, we plan to run to the grocery store and pick up food and drinks for everyone. Everyone else will arrive on Sunday afternoon (they are driving).

Anything else you can recommend to tell me about this place? So far, the more recent tripadvisor reviews have been positive so I'm hopeful we'l have a positive experience.

Thank you!!

We stayed in a 4 br unit there a few years ago and really liked it. I can't remember the bed configuration in the two smaller bedrooms (since there were only five of us so all three kids that went got their own bedroom) but the two master suites were very nice. I recall that there were a couple of things missing from the kitchen (pot holders maybe, for one) but I also remember that there were multiple management companies for the resort units. It might not be consistent from unit to unit. I don't recall any issues with having enough dishes or pots and pans.

You may want to just call and ask them about things you are concerned about. I've never stayed in a timeshare type property that didn't have a microwave and toaster (unless it was a studio unit).

I would gladly return there again.

Two families that we are friends with stayed there last year. Both families are 5 star hotel people and neither family had anything bad to say.

Thank you both!! We will be calling to find out about the smaller things like pot holders, etc.
