They also have an internet room for you to check email and a golf simulator if you want to practice your swing.

The security was good, but the buildings aren't enclosed, which means outsiders have easy access.

Resort Experience:
The second week of our vacation ended with just the three of us, so I asked to downsize the unit and was told NO! I found this quite strange. We were put into building 600, which is close to the pool area, but we found the unit to be very big for us--plus there were no carpets anywhere, so everytime you talked or watched TV there was an echo. We were on the third floor with no elevators, which was hard when carrying loads of luggage.

The unit was well decorated with turquoise walls and white rattan furniture. It was OK, but there are mirrors everywhere--I am not sure why, because the place does not need to look any bigger.

We had a huge, square jacuzzi in the master bedroom and, again, a shower big enough for the family. Everything worked, so maintenance was never required. The one thing I didn't like is the lack of mid-week housekeeping services. This is the first resort we have ever stayed at that did not have this and we were constantly washing towels, etc.

The security people at the gate are extremely friendly. We had a few nice chats with them.

Again, the book said 50-cents for local calls, but I was not charged. I found check-out to be rather impersonal--no "thanks" or anything just. "here's your bill, goodbye."

All in all, though, we had a good week at Silver Lake Resort and would probably exchange there again if it became available.

The trading power was a major pull for us. Everyone wants to go to Walt Disney World. That makes it easier to trade weeks through RCI. The RCI points available at this resort also help tremendously when trading.

The grounds of Silver Lake are very well planned. With the small area already developed, the accommodations are within walking distance of the pool and registration area. The pool was spacious with plenty of room not only for the swimmers, but for those people who wish to just relax and enjoy the sun.

The registration process was easy and painless. We walked into the registration area, told them our names, and showed our identification. We were given our key and our introductory packet. My husband asked about attractions in the area and how to get tickets and we were directed to that area. It was simple and easy. And with a five year old and a seven year old, simple and easy is wonderful!

I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone who likes peaceful surroundings with activities available upon request. Their no pressure sales technique was easy to understand. We went to the Orlando area looking for a timeshare. We looked at three resorts, but felt that Silver Lake met our needs better than the bigger, more flashy resorts we toured. The RCI points available at this resort also helped sway both my husband and myself toward Silver Lake. If you are looking for a timeshare in this area, check out Silver Lake. You won't be disappointed.
