Stayed 3 nights end of Jan 2021... love the refurbished rooms! Pixie Dusted from a studio to a 2 BR villa! First time staying at our DVC home resort. Got in late Thursday night, grabbed food to take to our room and Bell Services drove us via golf cart right to our building in Congress Hall! Gave us a quick overview of how to get around along the way, really nice man!
Pros:
Refurbished rooms! Friendly and out going staff! 7 minute walk to Disney Springs! Quiet atmosphere.Cons:
Large complex, long walk to main buildingReviewed by lcg Review Date: 05/13/2020

Me and the family have stayed at Saratoga Springs on 2 of out trips. We absolutely loved both of our stays. The resort is beautiful and we had an amazing stay. We definitely recommend! It was a quiet atmosphere with great themeing (without being too intense). Amazing feeling coming back to such a beautiful room after a long day at the parks.
Pros:
Easy access to Disney Springs Peaceful, quietCons:
Far from parksReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 05/01/2020

We absolutely love staying at this resort...due to a stroke my husband had many years ago we do pay the extra to be in a preferred building. This keeps his walking distance within reason to the quick service and the gym which we have both used and is also one of the reasons we like Saratoga. Never have had a problem with housekeeping and it is generally a very peaceful place. I am a walker and I can walk for hours if I choose and we love the proximity to Disney Springs. I cannot comment on the bus service because we rarely use it. Our only con on our most recent trip (March 2019)-- mattresses are needing replaced in the worst way.
Pros:
Proximity to Disney SpringsCons:

Had a great time with my husband on our honeymoon. We stayed in the Paddock section close to the carousel bus stop. Our room was super convenient to the bus stop, it wasn't too full when we were leaving for the park because it is the 2nd stop, and we didn't have to ride around the whole resort on the way home. We took a boat ride to the springs for lunch. We also took a tour of the DVC showroom. We definitely are going to buy in the near future. The grounds were beautiful, quiet, and nicely shaded. The pools that we visited (Paddock and High Rock Spring) were very well themed and had some cool slides. We spent some time at the High Rock Spring pool on check out day before catching Magical Express to the airport. They had a locker room area in the spa that had showers with the large dispensers of H2O products so we showered after the pool before going to the airport. The room was nice, clean, and offered a quiet balcony after a long day to have a few adult beverages and take in the peace and quiet. The rooms don't have a ton of Disney essence so smaller kids may not be entertained by them. Bed was comfy and we slept well. Overall a fabulous stay and definitely on the list of potential DVC buys.
Pros:
Beautiful, awesome pools (real hidden gems in Disney resorts), Close to Disney Springs, peaceful, scenicCons:
Large resort that requires an internal bus loop, needs more Disney essence, was immediately pounced on (like we just got off Magical Express) by the DVC person in the lobby... some people might not appreciate that, however, we were happy he did in the end because we got insight into DVC and made us want to invest.Reviewed by KarenM111254 Review Date: 04/24/2019

My family has stayed at Saratoga Springs twice and enjoyed our stay each time. The resort theming is beautiful and well maintained. On our first visit we stayed in a building facing Disney Springs; we could hear music from the House of Blues every evening which added to the magic of the resort.
Pros:
Close to Disney Springs (within walking distance), beautiful theming especially the main pool areas, very helpful and friendly cast members, good selection of food and beverages available at the quick service location, parking available in front of buildingCons:
Very large resort which requires a lot of walking or driving to get around, location is quite far from the parks so having a car is a mustReviewed by Melanie M Review Date: 04/16/2019

Stayed at Saratoga a few times. Very conveniently located to Disney Springs, which is great. Rooms are nice, feels very private and secluded but the property is pretty spread out and its quite a walk up to the food area.
