Orange Lake Country Club is comprised of 4 villages, each with its own pool and vibe. Each has a restaurant poolside so you don’t have to go back to your condo to eat if you want to spend the day at the pool. Of course, you can bring food and drinks (no glass containers!) to the pool, but each restaurant also has a bar. If you like golf, Orange Lake has two 18-hole golf courses, two 9-hole golf courses, tennis courts, two miniature golf courses, a game room, and a small movie theater for the kids.
Orange Lake Country Club, my home resort, gives me priority when booking my vacation week. I also have priority for booking week 26, which normally includes July 4th. I am not restricted to using my points only for the West Village. Many families with children like to stay at the River Island Village as that pool has a lazy river feature where you can rent huge inner tubes for floating on the river. This pool also has a 2 story slide and a lifeguard at the pool.
Periodically throughout the year, Holiday Inn Club will offer Max-Time deals where you can book 2-4 nights at certain resorts during certain seasons for a discounted number of points. This year I booked 4 nights at River Island during 2026 Spring Break week for a fraction of the usual number of points. Score!
You can also use your points for VIP experiences curated by Holiday Inn Vacation Club. There are Las Vegas style shows, professional sporting events, culinary experiences, concerts, Universal Studio experiences, just to name a few.
