Just wrapping up a stay at Silver Lake Resort. The good: great location, efficient front desk, gift shop that has almost anything you could need and large main pool with kids activities.

The bad...some of the units are VERY dated. Not what I would expect from a resort rated 4 stars. The Cabana at the pool was closed on New Years Day, too many smokers at the pool and cabana. Maybe a smoking section would help. The pool is loud at night so you can't leave your windows open if you wold like to sleep.

Overall....just okay

We went through RCI and traded points for two Villas during Christmas week. The rooms were perfect for us! Large, spacious, clean and plenty of space to spread out. One of the Villas was a one bedroom but had two sleeper sofa's and we slept four this here. The kitchen was even larger than the two-bedroom suite we also had. The kitchens were well stocked and anything we needed that wasn't there -- they quickly brought up to us. The staff there bent over backwards to assist us. Nichole was our go-to person! The location was great - set well off busy 192, it was very quiet and secluded, yet super convenient to Disney and the other parks. Also, the pool was heated - which is a great plus in the winter in Orlando when the temps drop in the evenings. Would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

We are at what they call the hotel part.. Appears to be a chopped up condo because room isthe size of a shoe box. Rug is filthy.. We started to change room.. But it was the same or worse at different room. Asked for a condo, they went mute. Get here in daylight, place is poorly marked..
Logistics here are a nightmare. They have a coffee pot in room, not cups..you have to call security. They have a safe in room, but you have to call security to come to room.. They have pool towels, but you gave to go somewhere and pay a deposit to get them.
They have Disnay tickets at a discount, but you have to attend a sales seminar. Stand tuned.i can feel the pressure. Everything is so scattered around you just give up. Concerge is worthless.. She could not speak good English and seems all they have to offer is selling Disney tickets..
We, after a waste of time are at the pool with "our" beach towels.. Dreading sales pitch and may cancel.. They threaten a $50 charge for a no show and a wake up call.. So Mickey Mouse! LOL
Anyway, if you are married or something with kids and get a 2/2 Condo maybe this will work for you. Still no 4 star..

The rooms were modern with granite countertops, modern dark wood furniture, lcd tv in each room, fully equipped kitchen, comfy furniture. The master has nice modern ensuite. The extra room we had consisted of two full size beds. Not suited for anyone taller than 5'10" unless you sleep in a cradle position. There are daily activities for the kids. Some cost a few dollars. Xbox experience was around $10. There were multiple pools. Two by the clubhouse and gameroom. One was large and more for family. Another by the clubhouse seemed to cater more to adults. They also had movie night with the kid movie around five and adult movie around 7. Lastly there was a tennis court, average outdoor basketball court, and kids playground. Oh yeah. 24hr guards at both entrances. Magic kingdom is practically their back door, but animal kingdom entrance is the closest a couple turns away. Ok thank you
