Best Lake Buena Vista Spa Hotels

I’m sitting here on my last night and feeling sad, I don’t want to leave. I wanted to write a review because there were so many bad reviews that I was getting a little bummed before I came. First off, do not be afraid of the construction going on. My building was literally right across from it and I barely heard anything or saw anything. Second, everyone keeps talking about how the rooms need updating and I agree to a point. I did not feel my room was dank or worn. It was beautiful. It was clean. We loved it. They cleaned everyday too and even at Animal Kingdom in January we didn’t have that. The Lagoon View is great o highly recommend! We ate at Citricos , and are waiter Giovanni was excellent and the food was fabulous. We were a party of 13 with 8 kids and he handles us with ease. The pools are all great, my kids love them especially the slide pool! The hotel lobby and grounds are beautiful. The location is very good. The monorail makes it easy to go to Magic Kingdom and even going to Epcot didn’t take as long as people on line act like it does! We still totally rope dropped! Bottom line it was a great trip. We were a party of 13 and no one is complaining! Yes it is super expensive. Disney is expensive! Other then that we were really happy and are sad to leave! My only recommendation is when there is an issue and there were a few at check in you go back to throwing lightening lanes at people like the fast passes in the old days! It makes you feel like you are getting some kind of compensation when things aren’t perfect. Just fyi all of our issues were resolved. They were nice about it too!

We stayed here for two weeks during September 2022 and really couldn’t find any fault with the hotel, especially for the price paid. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, knowledgeable and gave great customer service. The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable, with two pillow choices available (labelled firm and soft) which we thought was a great idea. There are also lots of charging ports fitted into the room which come in very handy. The rooms are on the basic side but for the price paid they’re great value. Housekeeping was also every day which many places surrounding Disney still weren’t offering at the time we stayed, and was one of the reasons we selected the hotel in the first place. The included bus service to the Disney parks is also excellent, and much better than the Disney resort provided buses in our experience. They ran every hour to every park until after closing time and were always on time, with good a/c and a seat available. The hotel is also only a 10 minute walk to Disney Springs, where you could then use Disney transportation to resorts if needed for dining reservations etc. We also stayed during Hurricane Ian and we couldn’t have felt safer there. Every staff member was outstanding and went out of their way to make sure we felt safe, with many working longer hours to do so. The bar and food service stayed open for the duration of the Hurricane too which meant we didn’t even have to worry about getting food/water. All in all this was a fantastic stay and we will be back.

Not bad, pretty good

I took my two children to Orlando Disney during the summer vacation, and I am very satisfied with the hotel. The service is very good, there are doormen to help open the door when getting on and off the bus. View room, you can see the hotel's swimming pool from the window, the view is very good. Two double beds are big enough. The hotel has buses to and from the four Disney theme parks, which is very convenient. There is a coffee machine, refrigerator, and no microwave in the room, but there is a microwave available at the vending machine in the lobby. The hotel staff come to clean and make beds every day, but there are no toothbrushes and slippers, so you have to bring your own. The hotel is very close to the Disney shopping mall Spring, walk for a few minutes and buy a lot of gadgets

Absolutely a beautiful and Comfortable stay! The pool is really nice and the bar by the pool was nice too! We were in Orlando for 2 weeks so had to use the laundry room at the hotel and it was clean and nice but keep in mind $4 to wash and $4 to dry 1 load. I was charged a resort fee of $30 a night and parking was an additional $20 a night. I did not know this until.check in!! I asked to have parking removed because an extra hidden $50 a night cost was alot!! They did remove the parking said it was because I was an Annual Disney Passholder. I feel like you should know all the cost before you book. Other than the additional fees the hotel and our stay was great!

We used a travel agent to help us prepare for our Disney trip, and this was one of her suggestions for a moderately priced on property stay. Riverside did not disappoint. We had a preferred room which put us near the hotel lobby area. We were in alligator bayou in building 27, and in my opinion, it was perfect. It was close to the lobby, the larger pool, the food places. There is a welcome message on your TV when you get it. We checked in several days prior to arrival and had our room number texted to us the day of arrival so we went straight to our rooms. We did have magic bands that let us in but I believe you can also use your phones. We didn't have to go to the lobby for check in. Room was smaller than what I thought average rooms are but it also had a table with two chairs. It had the pull down 5th sleeper as well. The actual shower and toilet area is TINY but the sink area is larger and has a nice area to put your luggage and hang some clothes. Also a curtain to pull across so you can dress privately. We were near another pool as well that was quieter and more laid back but with little kids, the large pool with slide was a hit. There are several bus stop as this is a large resort, we used the one outside of the lobby entrance but coming back from the parks they dropped us at a different one. It was a little further walk but still not bad. Beautiful grounds. Food & drink - expensive but expected. There is quick service, a lounge, a restaurant, and a bar with a light selection of food at the pool. French quarter is about a 15 min walk. Very pleased with this resort and would stay there again.

This is a brand-new hotel in a stunning location which should be great. Instead, my family and I had a truly terrible experience from the first moment there. Don't stay at this property unless you're prepared to deal with frustration and disappointment. The hotel was nowhere close to full during our mid-week stay, yet our rooms were not ready at check-in, and the staff rudely evaded my questions about when we'd be able to have access. (This isn't a small matter when you're trying to manage increasingly tired and frustrated kids.) The property advertises an ”arrivals/departures lounge” where you can change/shower/etc. before you check-in or after you check-out, but it wasn't ready during our stay. (Of course, there wasn't anything to indicate that it wasn't open yet, and the doors were unlocked. I only figured out that it wasn't open when I tried to use the lockers inside and asked a pool attendant why the lockers weren't working.) Once we finally had access to our connecting rooms, they were a major disappointment, both in quality and layout. The connecting doors were on springs that automatically, so we had to jam bath towels in the doors to keep them open. (What's the point of having a connecting room for kids if the doors to the parents' room automatically close?) The quality of the furnishings and hardware in the room is far below what you'd expect on a property that advertises itself as a luxury resort. The vinyl flooring was not installed properly and was bubbling up at the connecting doors. The button to toggle between bath and shower operation fell off when I grazed it with my hand. There was still painter's tape all over the inside of the connecting doors -- nobody had bothered to take it off. Quality control was non-existent. Perhaps more importantly, it seems like nobody put much thought into getting the details right at this place. The only trash can in the bathrooms is tucked into the commode -- there isn't one near the sink, where it's needed most. In two bed rooms, there's a large circular table in the middle of the room between two beds, which is easy to trip on when the room is dark and impedes the flow of the room. The lobby and front entrance to the property is on the third floor -- but there's no sign in the elevators telling you that, and only the first floor is marked with a star (which, of course, usually denotes the building's main exit.) The service was no better. In the morning, we had an early reservation for a Disney breakfast, so I tried to call down twice to have the valet bring our car to the front. The hotel's phones weren't working. I tried calling the front desk from my cell phone -- still, not working. We then went downstairs and told valet in person to bring our car around, and we had to wait several minutes for it. In the meantime, I told the front desk attendant that the phones weren't working, both on the inside phones and when calling from my cell phone. He dismissively told me t
