Aqua Sol, a Hilton Vacation Club Reviews & Ratings

Nice resort...we stayed at Liki Tiki in October of 2003. We stayed in a 1 bedroom , and it was cramped with 4 of us, we would get a 2 bedrrom next time. The water park was fun for the kids, but we enjoyed the quieter pools and hot tubs away from the lagoon the best.

There were a lot of people having fun, but this resort was a little too loud for our taste. We could hear the music from the pool even inside our condo...we stayed in the 800 building, directly behind the water park. I would request another location if you like peace and quiet. But all in all, the resort was nice and we would consider staying there again.

We stayed at Liki Tiki in a newly refurbished 2br high rise in October 2003, with 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, and a sofa bed. The unit was very clean.

This seems to be a perfect time to visit as the lagoon, with water slides, was not too crowded and we were able to get loungers each day without a problem.

The staff were very helpful and friendly.

We had a great time at this resort!

We stayed in a new 2bd 2bt apt at the Liki in May of 2003. The room was superior, very clean and the janitorial employees were awesome. Anything we needed, they got it to us ASAP.

I would like to thank Gonzalo for being a very nice host. He resolved my problem with another front desk girl very quickly and treated us like a King and Queen.

Also, my husband wasn't happy with the fishing facility because he thought is was more of a pond than anything so we opted to go off site to a fishing facility.

We really loved it because the resort is not crowded (yet--I'm crossing my fingers) with people...we were able to enjoy everything without any waits. We also loved the fact that it is located Maingate West away from the traffic on Rt. 4, so getting to WDW was very very easy. We are going back again in May 2004.

If you are looking for a small, quiet resort to enjoy with your family, especially with the kids, Liki Tiki Village is the place to stay!

Our family stayed here in 2000, and are staying again this year for spring break, 2003. We love it! Would tell anyone we knew to try it out.

The townhouses are like being on vacation at home - without having to worry about mowing the lawn!

The amenities are great -- our kids had done Disney last year and opted to enjoy Liki Tiki and the tennis courts instead!

It's central location is close to all the central Florida attractions.

Lovely resort. A great place for young families because the pools and the water park are great. Resort is not as large as some in the Orlando area, so it retains a kind of comfortable vacation home atmosphere. Free Krispee Kreme donuts in the morning were a hit with the kids!

Only 4.8 km from Walt Disney World, the resort features an on-site water park and miniature golf course. The suite has fully equipped kitchen and also a washer and dryer. Perfect for a family.

WARRNING!! WARRNING!!! WARRNING!!! WARRNING! WARRNING!! WARRNING!!!

DO NOT STAY AT THIS RESORT! OUR CAR WAS BROKE INTO AND WE WERE ROBBED BLIND. THIS PLACE IS A NIGHTMARE. (IT DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE 1 STAR) BUT I HAD TO PICK ONE TO POST THIS.

WE DISCOVERED THAT THIS RESORT IS WAY, WAY OUT ON THE BORDER OF ORANGE AND POLK COUNTY. THIS IS A HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, HOMELESS, DRUG INFESTED, CRIME AREA. THE THEIVES PRAY ON TOURISTS WHO DONT KNOW WHAT GOING ON. ( WE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY)

WE WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD US, AS WE ARE TELLING YOU.

UPON CHECK IN WE WERE GIVEN A VILLA THAT WAS BEING SLEPT IN BY HOMELESS PEOPLE. WHEN WE OPENED THE DOOR IT WAS A WRECK. ONE OF THE BED HEADBORD HAD BEEN RIPPED OUT OF THE WALL LYING ON THE FLOOR THE SLIDING DOOR WAS OPEN. WE THINK THAT HOMELESS PEOPLE RAN OUT AS WE WERE COMMING IN. (THIS WAS REALLY VERY SCARRY) IN THIS DAY AND TIME.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE HAD TO DRIVE BACK TO THE FRONT DESK TO GET ANOTHER VILLA . WHEN WE TOLD THE FRONT DESK ABOUT WHAT WE HAD FOUND ( THEY ACTED LIKE IT HAPPENES ALL THE TIME, THEY COULD REALLY CARE LESS.) " HERE TRY THIS ONE" THE GIRL AT THE FRONT DESK TOLD ME. WHO WAS TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE THE WHOLE TIME I WAS STANDING THERE. THIS WENT ON A TOTAL OF 3 MORE TIMES TILL WE SETTLED ON ONE THAT WAS "OK" AT BEST, FOR A CHEAP MOTEL.

I WISH I HAD LISTENED TO MY WIFE (SHE WAS SO RIGHT)! SHE WANTED TO GO ANOTHER RESORT RIGHT AWAY. BUT IT WAS LATE AND WE WERE TIRED. I TOLD HER THAT WE COULD TUFF IT OUT TILL MORRNING THEN MOVE TO ANOTHER RESORT.

ABOUT 3 AM WE GET A CALL IT WAS SECURITY. HE WAS OUT ON PATROL ON HIS GOLF CART. HE SAID THAT OUR CAR WAS BROKE INTO AND OUR STUFF WAS DRAGGED OUT AND LAYING IN THE PARLKING LOT . ( NEEDLES TO SAY I DID NOT GET ANY MORE SLEEP THAT NIGHT.) MY WIFE WAS FLIPPINGOUT. WE MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO GO TO ANOTHER RESORT THAT MORRNING.!

WHILE WAITING TO BE MOVED I WENT OUT AND STARTED TALKING TO LOCALS AT THE 7-11 TELLING THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO US. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS RESORT HAS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, ALL THE TIME. THE GANGS OF THEIVES COME AND GO AT WILL, ROAMING ALL THRU THE PLACE AT NIGHT, PRAYING ON UNEXPECTING TOURISTS.

THEY SAID THAT THE RESORT IS BROKE AND CAN'T AFFORD TO HIRE ENOUGH SECURITY AND STAFF TO TAKE PROPER CARE OF THE PLACE OR ITS GUESTS.

I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT RIGHT BEFORE WE ARRIVED THAT A GANG HAD BROKE INTO ALL OF THE GROUND FLOOR VILLAS, OF 2 WHOLE BUILDINGS STEALING ALL OF THE FLAT SCREEN TVS. THEY DROVE IN AND OUT WITHOUT A WORD FROM THE SECURITY ( THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT) !!!! ( I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THIS IS UNBELIVEABLE) THEN I ASK OTHER STAFF ABOUT THIS , THEY SAID THAT IT WAS ALL TRUE. !!!

THIS PLACE IS A DUMP AND IS RAN LIKE A CHEAP MOTEL ON SKID ROW. THE EMPLOYEES DONT CARE WHAT GOES ON. GOD HELP THE POOR PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT INTO THIS PLACE.

Did not like this place at all. First of all the place is not sound proof. We could hear everything the people next door were saying. We had to sleep with fans to block out the people walking above us. The staff was very unfriendly and rude. No one was wearing a uniform or a name tag and they all acted like they hated their job. There was only one towel rack in the bathroom for 4 people to use and no hooks so we had to hang our towels over the doors to dry. It is supposed to be a nonsmoking property and everyone that I saw was smoking. You are not allowed to bring any drinks or food into the pool area so you have to buy from the bar there which was expensive. The place was very drab looking. They need to hire a landscaper and have some flowers planted to improve the look of the place.

The worst thing was they have no wireless internet available. You could get dial up with your local internet provider, but I could never get mine working after 3 hours of trying. You can go to the lobby to use the internet, but they charge per day to use it.

The unit was clean except for the floors. The kids socks were black after walking around. The bedding was stained with cigarette burns on the blankets. The pillows and mattress were cheap quality and so was the blanket. They only give you 2 top sheets like the cheap hotels do so the sheets keep coming off the bed.

The water park was nice, but the people that were at the waterpark made me very uncomfortable. They were all drinking heavily during the day and smoking. It was not a family atmosphere. It was more of a party area.

I'm not one to usually complain, but I could not wait for my week to be over so I could leave. Beware of the pictures, they make it look a lot nicer than it really is.

All of us were very disappointed , we just came back yesterday. It was an exchange through Interval and they refused to give us one of the new buildings The furniture is very old and broken or aout to get broken The resort was full of all sort of insect , the lake is dirty . The ticket we got for Disney , we found outside cheaper by 45 $ for each person in 3 days and they were saying that this is the best price you can find Finally and on top of all , that you have to pay 6 $ a day for the internet and only use it in the loy while the sales are doing all their negotiation and it's very noisy to focus on anything The whole resort need update .

We visited this resort during Labor day week of 2004. We stayed in one of the new high-rise towers. The room was very nice, and the staff very good about filling our requests.

The line at check-in was VERY long, and you had to go through this line any time you needed to visit the front desk. We arrived at 3:30 and waited 1/2 hour in line, then 2 hours for our room to be ready.

Our major problem with this resort was the main pool. They have jammed every activity you can imagine doing in a pool into a space that was way too small. Slides ended no more than 5 feet from the stairs to enter the pool. Volleyball was only 10 feet from that. Basketballs seemed to always be landing near my baby while he was in the pool. There was no room in the pool to actually enjoy the pool. I would NOT recommend this pool to any child unable to fend for themselves in crowds. This is NOT for small children. Also this resort seemed to attract the sort of crowd that drinks all day, lets their kids pee on the sidewalks (yes we did see this) and couldn't care less if they are bothering anyone.

The "quiet" pool was much better but even there we ran into people swearing and drinking during the day. Not the atmosphere we want our children around.

I'm giving it a 3 star because we got a nice room for a good value. I'd suggest if you stay here during peak season, plan on visiting the disney water parks if you want to have some water fun.

We had a 1 bedroom near the "water park". I was not very impressed with the units. Ours was a bit older.Clean, simple. Nothing special about it. The toilet above ours leaked the first day but maintenance was prompt about fixing it. The poolside bar was nice. I would not buy there.

Just got back from a week in a 1bdrm 1 bath in one of the newer buildings. We were not too happy to see how crowded the water park was and it's really not meant for kids over 8yrs old the slides are very small! The room was pretty nice but so far away from everything the closest pool was the lagoon the other 2 were about a 2 block walk. And I was in a leg brace so couldn't walk.And the pool deck was in very rough shape with loose tiles and very dirty. We also didn't get sheets for the sleeper sofa until late during the second night.

When I asked to be moved closer to the pool I was told they didn't have anything. But when they thought I might buy a week they said they'd find me something.

Also the walls in the rooms are not insulated well. We could hear the tv coming from next door as well as everyone that walked by because the bedroom is practically on the front sidewalk with the livingroom in back. I would not stay here again, its way too crowded and spread out and noisy!

Just got back from our week at Liki Tiki Resort. We enjoyed our unit, but the sheets on the twin beds were not fitted and came off of the beds every night. Finally we requested help from housekeeping and they came right over and brought fitted sheets and made the beds over. The free coffee and doughnuts were very nice every morning at the pool house. So we never even had to make coffee in our kitchen. There was a nice spagetti dinner on Monday for owners. The resort is kept immaculate. Cant wait to go again next year.

Feb 2004 We stayed in building 400 for 2 weeks found rooms very noisy the doors ajoining the rooms were closed and you could hear the people in the other room talking as if they were talking with you. The other problem was the gate around the pool kept banging when people went through even the people giving tours would not close it so it wouldn't slam. So you could hear it bang early A.M. until late P.M.

The resort was nice but sofa needed to be replaced it had holes in it, linnen needed to be replaced sheets wouldn't stay on mattress I called for new sheets and by the second week I got two flat sheets that fit better then fitted.
