Lake Buena Vista, Orlando

Virgin rating

The hotel

An all-suite, modern and classic property in the heart of Orlando, Buena Vista Suites is the perfect spot for a fun-filled few days or weeks at the theme parks. There's some great perks at this hotel that will allow you to save a few pennies to use on souvenirs - complimentary full American breakfast will give you much needed fuel in the morning before a day at the theme parks, which are a short complimentary shuttle ride away, so you can be walking through those park gates in minutes! And when you’re ready for some down time, you’ve got an outdoor pool as well as access to the facilities and dining at next door Caribe Royal Orlando!

Great for a family holiday. Spacious rooms with separate sleeping area and living rooms to relax in. All you can eat hot buffet breakfast with cold options available too. There is no bar within the hotel but one is available within the Caribe Royale sister hotel next door which is a two minute walk Free buses (actually a first class coach) run regularly and like clockwork from the hotel to Disney Parks. These are arranged at reception via staff. Linda Rose helped us out and was amazing; my kids loved her as she handed out Star Wars stickers to them whenever she saw them. Staff are always helpful and pleasant and the hotel is immaculately clean. Hotel is reasonably priced and very close to Disney Oarks and outlet shops, but within easy reach of Universal. Highly recommended for a family trip Read less

We absolutely loved our stay at Buena Vista Suites! This hotel is an easy 4-star, and when you factor in the use of the amenities at the plush sister hotel next door, Caribe Royale Orlando, it pushes a 5-star experience. Buena Vista Suites is a lovely, plush, and modern hotel that provides a relaxing atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, modern and well-designed, making it a pleasure to unwind after a long day. It feels like a home from home experience. The corridors and atrium are lovely. The hotel has a cute pizzeria downstairs, perfect after a long day, and a small self-scan shop with all the essentials, including drinks and alcohol, which was really convenient. We used the pizzeria a few times and had a movie night in our room after a day of visiting the parks. We loved it! The pool and spa pool are cozy, intimate, and incredibly relaxing, with the added bonus of a free towel service. But what really elevates this hotel is having access to the Caribe Royale next door. The sister hotel has an even larger pool with a waterfall and slide, a lovely poolside bar, a cool sports bar inside, and a very plush, relaxing low lit bar upstairs. There’s even a swanky restaurant on site, adding to the overall luxury feel. The location is perfect! It’s just a 15-minute drive to Disney and about 20 minutes to Universal, putting you right in the middle of both. The hotel also offers a free shuttle to Disney that you can easily pre-arrange, and parking is free, which was a big plus. Getting around was simple, with Ubers to International Drive costing only $12-15. The only area where I think Buena Vista Suites could improve is the breakfast. It’s neither poor or great – just okay. For a hotel that presents a plush premium image, the breakfast could be better. Like many other hotels in the U.S., they serve breakfast on disposable plates, with plastic utensils and cups, which I found disappointing. It creates unnecessary environmental waste and devalues the dining experience. For a hotel of this caliber, real plates, glasses, cups and utensils would make a world of difference. Overall we had a wonderful stay. The hotel staff were exceptional—always cheerful, helpful, and ready to assist with a smile. Their friendliness enhanced our experience, making our stay even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Buena Vista Suites or the Caribe Royale Orlando next door. It's a fantastic hotel, it's plush and in an ideal location. We will be staying again in the future, when we return! Read less

Just arrived back to the UK after spending 10 days at this location for the usual orlando fun. This is our 7th visit to Orlando but our first stay here and we were surprised. Rooms are clean and spacious with maid service everyday. Access to hotel pool and the neighbouring pool but we did not use it - looked lovely. The best aspect of this hotel without doubt is location, easy to drive to all parks, no car parking fee and easy to grab uber to get anywhere if need be. Breakfast is basic and the only reason I have marked this hotel as 4 star rating. Would def recommend to anyone looking to do Orlando for parks etc and would def return Read less
