We arrived early so we had to wait until 4p for check in, but I was able to get a key card early so the kids could go to the pool. The property is shaped kind of like a Z, so if you end up farther down its a very long walk to the pool. Some units are owned by different owners rented out so I think that is where some of the bad reviews come in. The rooms could be cleaned better, so i went through with clorox wipes and did some more wiping down but the unit was in good shape and good size with the bedrooms upstairs. You definitely want to Bring your own pool towels, laundry soap, garbage bags, and extra kitchen supplies as its not provided. We had 4 towels for 6 people and no pool towels were ever stocked and the local Walmart was out of towels, paper products, balls and much more so i was happy i came prepared. There is a Publix nearby that had plenty of groceries. Overall i would stay here again, just expect lots of traffic to DISNEY and Universal so a 15 minute ride ends up taking 40.

We stayed at Fountain's Resort in early march before the Covid-19 nightmare. The staff were kind an courteous and the place was well kept. 3 adults and 3 kids in a 3 bedroom townhouse. Cons: -The sofa in our unit looked like a kid was left alone with a knife, cant really blame that on the resort but it wasn't great to come into a damaged couch. -The prices for activities were actually more expensive at the resort than at the attraction itself. -There is no real playground for kids Pros: Amazing and responsive staff Updated dishwasher, washer, dryer, fridge and stove very close to retail and food great for walks and photo ops Kids loved the pools Summary: I would definitely go back, maybe request a house that is stationed around the waterfall. Good price for a family on a budget. House was clean and bright.

We stayed here after a week in myrtle beach and oh my goodness! This place is amazing! Jessica at the front desk was smiling and welcoming as soon as we walked in. We had a beautiful room with so much to do on property! i wish we would have stayed here the full 2 weeks!

Recent stay at Fountains was enjoyable. Check In was easy. Good location, nice property with a heated pool and hot tub. $21.57 a day for a resort fee is very steep considering the pool area is all they offer on site. Large 4 bedroom townhouse was very nice. Cleanliness of dining and living room carpets were the biggest negative for us. No way it was vacuumed prior to our arrival. Leftover food and long blonde hairs all over the carpets. Exterior of stainless steel appliances should have been cleaned. Bathrooms and bedrooms were all cleaned satisfactory. My wife vacuumed the dining and living room carpets. We could not find the remote for the provided DVD player. We requested a replacement at the front desk, but one was never delivered. Outside of the initial dirtiness of the carpets, our stay was very enjoyable. We would probably return next year

We made plans to go to Orlando for a golf getaway. Great location within minutes to champions gate. Easy to make plans and head down from Connecticut. We arrived early to see where we were staying. Front desk clerk had our cell phone and would call us when room ready. A 4 PM check-in turned out to be 8:30 PM due to a very dirty condo left by previous renters. The kitchen floor and entry way were filthy along with the carpet to the upstairs. The handle was torn off a kitchen cabinet door. There was a nail tak in the bedroom closet sticking out. There were only six towels for 4 adults for 4 nights. There were no plastic trash bags to put your garbage out. We still enjoyed our stay. This unit could use some attention in the near future.

Checked in and checked right now. Upkeep of room was not to me and my families standards. We were all very disgusted. Molding on floor was broken, couch was very dingy and dirty, and food was still in garbage disposal upon other things I’m sure I would have found if we had stayed. Very poor upkeep of room.

I booked this place last minute on booking.com after deciding to extend our time by a few days in Orlando. The options were slim pickings but after watching some YouTube reviews and such we decided to do it. My family and I checked in on a Saturday for 2 nights. I called 2 hours prior to the 4pm check in to see if the room was ready as they offer early check in if available. I was informed the room had been ready for quite sometime now and we could head over and get checked in immediately. Upon our arrival everything seemed great. It was clean and nice looking, the lobby was nice as was the gated community feature. After unloading our items we started seeing red flags before even getting to the room. The elevator up to the room was in poor condition. The appearance of the doors to the different units were worn down and beat up looking. Upon entry into room I was not impressed. We scooped out the rooms and bathrooms and immediately started seeing issues. In the main shared bathroom the tub had what I thought was chips in the bottom of it and turned out to be large pieces of dirt. There were also NO towels. In the main bed bedroom the safe would not lock. The issues only got bigger from there. The living room furniture had crusted food smears on it, several low areas on the walls had bright orange maybe Cheeto smears from a small child with maybe Cheeto fingers. The giant mirror hanging in the entry way had hot Cheeto or taki smeared all over it. Absolutely disgusting!!! I am a mom of 3 I get it kids eat they get yucky and touch stuff BUT also as a former housekeeper who has spent years working in a hotel this was unacceptable. In the kitchen the cabinets had really old spills running down them including some gooeyiness running down the front of the dishwasher. I immediately called the front desk and gave them a list of issues with the cleanliness and they apologized and said someone would come fix it all. I advised we were going to the pool area for a few hours and would be back. The nice girl on the phone assured me it would be taken care of. My family changed into swim suits and headed to the pool. Upon arriving at the pool it was nice set up. However the type of people that were mainly there were not the type I would prefer to have my kids around. It was a rather “rough crowd” I am an African American/Hispanic woman and the people that were at that pool were animals. It was very unappealing, however we kept to ourselves found an empty corner in the pool and made the best of it. At the end of our pool time my husband who used to be a life guard years back had to pull a baby out of the water not even 2 yrs old from the pool near where he was standing because the parents just were not watching and she did not come back up after jumping in. After he grabbed her out and looked around for her parents he gave the baby back to them and instead of making sure she was ok the mother starts yelling at the dad that he was suppose to watch her and they continued swimming. As much water as that poor baby took on she needed to be examined by a Dr. after this we had enough and returned to our room expecting to have everything recleaned. It was NOT!! No one had been there after 2hrs. At that time we also noticed that our room had a lock box on the outside of it and no one else’s doors had this, this struck me as odd. I called back down to the front desk and the girl put me on hold then came back after a minute or 2 and stated she spoke to the head of housekeeping and the man who was assigned our room to rectify the issues was still not done cleaning other units that were check outs. I advised her that we were here already so whoever needed to stop what they were doing and fix our unit then return to whatever else. She apologized and promised they would get it taken care of, at that time my kids had also noticed that the door handles to the different rooms had crusted matter on them as well. I became irate and asked the girl for a different room entirely. She placed me on hold again and came back on to inform me she didn’t have anything. I then proceed to advise her we would not being staying between the crowd that was there and the filth of the room. I asked her for a full refund. I told her we hadn’t messed up anything Bc everyone was too disgusted to sit anywhere or touch anything other then the dining room table. She stated she would give me a full refund. We gathered our belongings and repacked our car. Upon my arrival back to the lobby she gave me a receipt that showed the refund and it was credited back to my account 2 days later which is the only positive to this place. My family and I gladly left and found another fabulous places called Omni resort in Champions Gate. I’m glad to report when we return to FL as we do every year we will be using this as our place to stay. TOP of the line resort!! Please beware if your accustomed to a higher standard of where you stay then this is not the place for you. Attached are a few photos we took some of the other issues are in a video we took that I was unable to post.

For the price, the place is pretty great. It was much less expensive than many hotels we found, plus we had separate bedrooms. It has its own theater and pool, though we weren't able to use either since we were so busy. The only thing that threw us off was the gate. We couldn't figure out how to open the gate to get in, but at checkout we found the area you are supposed to swipe your key card to open the gate. We assumed it would be right by the gate, but it is actually by the clubhouse.

Price was great and close enough to the parks. Resort staff helpful and friendly. Affordable place to stay. The units are large and nice to have a full kitchen. A Publix less than a 1/2 mile from the resort make it very convenient to stock up.
