We have a large family and attend an annual family reunion that has been held at Lakeshore Reserve many times. It’s a beautiful place to stay and we all love the foliage throughout the walkways. The lake is also really beautiful. We always have a wonderful time and find it to be fun and relaxing. The lazy river and pool are terrific and the staff is always friendly and helpful. This year we interacted with the bartenders quite a bit and they were all worth an extra shout out! David, Francesca, and Spencer took great care of us and made sure we all had what we needed. The food is also surprisingly delicious! We enjoyed eating lunch there each day. The activities going on for the kids were also a total hit while we were there! Thanks, Marriott!

This place is absolutely gorgeous, a little slice of paradise. We stayed here for our honeymoon and loved our stay. It’s just an Uber away from everything you need. The restaurant here may have been the best food we ate in Orlando. We loved the staff, shoutout to Kevin who ran the activities. We’ll definitely be coming back in the future. Just be sure to bring your own floaties.

Two waterslides and large playground for the kids. Very nice Lazy River/Pool area with beautifully landscaped grounds. Restaurant with large patio has tasty, reasonably priced food. Ping-pong table, pool table & cornhole. Roomy units include townhouses. Great golf course.

Beautiful lazy river, grounds, and furnished villas. It is so quiet here, you feel like there are few here. Very nice live music in the restaurant/bar near the pool and recreation area. Location is an easy drive of 15 to 20 min from parks.

Had a very relaxing weekend at Marriott's Lakeshore Reserve! Definitely exceeded my expectations. Great amenities. Pool and lazy river was relaxing and it was heated! Also loved that there are free cabanas with counches & loungers) My daughter had fun on the water slides, the playground, and yard games. Our room was nice. Decent amount of space for 2 adults and 2 young kids (we had a studio room since it was a short weekend stay). Might be our new favorite Orlando Marriott resort. We will definitely return!

It's hard to complain about a MVC. The rooms were amazing, the pool, lazy river, walking path, and beautiful palms were inviting and relaxing, helping us to maximize our vaca effect. It was a bit disheartening to see signs that it would be appreciated if we would take the sheets off the bed and throw all towels in the tub. While we're defintely 'for' not having daily cleaning - more environmental not getting a new towel each day, we felt that this request gave the MVC a bit of a 'European Hostel' feel ... definitely not ideal for the owners. We've tried to get into this property for years and are very happy that we finally were able to enjoy the time here.

We loved the resort. All I could think of while we were there was it like being in Hawaii. The grounds are beautiful and the atmosphere very relaxing. A winner all way round.

Near perfection, feels like paradise and everything's beautiful and works just fine. We had an awesome time. Only bummer is that only towards the end of our stay did i discover that the gym has a full locker room that nobody uses with a steam room and sauna. Incredible. They should apply a tolerance to using the jacuzzi later than 11pm if people are quiet like other Marriott properties do.
