Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club Review (2025)
Want to know what it’s like to stay at Mystic Dunes Resort in Orlando, Florida?
Mystic Dunes Resort is located in Celebration, Florida, only about 5 miles South of Disney World.
It’s to the Western side of Disney, so it’s just below Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, giving you easy access to the Disney parks when you stay here.
It also happens to only be 10 miles away from where some of my family lives, so it makes it a convenient place for us to stay when we go to visit.
Check out the room tour video below from our first stay at this resort in a 1 Bedroom Deluxe.

Mystic Dunes Resort Review
Mystic Dunes Resort is a timeshare property that was formerly owned by Diamond Resorts.
Recently, Hilton Grand Vacations bought out Diamond Resorts and has since re-branded the resort and taken over the operations of the resort.
If you’re a timeshare owner, you can book this resort with your points if you own with Diamond Resorts or HGV Max.
However, this resort, like many timeshares, are open to the public as well.
The best feature of these timeshare villas are the full kitchens and in-unit laundry that regular hotel rooms just don’t have.
1 Bedroom Room Types
When we stayed here the first time, we chose the 1 Bedroom Deluxe because it was actually the cheapest available room for our 2 night stay.
They have a variety of room types available that will suit just about any type of group.
There’s 1 bedrooms that have just a queen bed, 1 bedrooms with a queen bed and pullout sofa, and 1 bedrooms with 1 king bed like we had.
On our most recent stay, we booked a regular 1 Bedroom with a King bed.
Below is a video of the room tour of this room so you can compare the difference between a regular room and a deluxe room.
For 2 bedrooms, you can choose from a combination of rooms like 1 bedroom having the king bed while the second bedroom can have either 1-2 queen beds or 2 double beds, and some have the additional pullout sofa.
Lastly, there are even 3 bedroom villas here.
The 3 bedrooms have 1 king bed, 2 double beds, and a queen bed or 1 king bed and 3 queen beds.
When you book your room you’ll be able to choose the exact type you want/need.
It’s not just randomly assigned, so don’t worry!

Room Pricing
Our 1 bedroom deluxe room was 550 points for a 2 night stay in the middle of March.
With what we’ve paid into our timeshare, plus annual maintenance dues, 550 points comes out to about $287 for our 2 night stay, or $143.50 per night.
While that isn’t the cheapest hotel room ever, remember that these are timeshare rooms and this was in the middle of Spring Break travel season for Orlando, which is hugely popular.
Not only does it have a bedroom separate from the living area, it has a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, a dining room, free parking, free wifi, and more.
On our most recent visit, we used 900 points to stay 2 nights in a regular 1 bedroom.
This comes out to $470 for the total stay or $235 per night.
This stay was over Mother’s Day weekend on a Thursday and Friday night.
Friday and Saturday nights for timeshares are notoriously extremely overpriced.
Considering even the Value Resorts at Disney tend to run over $200 a night much of the time now, this place is a steal most of the time.
If you’re booking directly and paying cash, you can get many of these rooms for $100 a night if you stay during the week in the off-season, so it’s affordable no matter how you book it.

Resort Amenities
Being an Orlando resort, of course there’s a pool, golf course, and driving range.
You can also enjoy the fitness center, tennis courts, an on-site restaurant, room service, a business center, and meeting rooms.
The restaurant, serving American food, is part of the golf club and overlooks the golf course.
It’s open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it’s where the room service food comes from.
Additionally, there is also a Tiki Bar and Grille that is open mid-day.
They offer everything from a full bar to appetizers, sandwiches, and entrees.
Overall Experience
We love the resort feel of this property.
It definitely feels more like a resort than most of the other Diamond timeshare properties we’ve stayed in, but maybe the setting of being in Orlando played a part in it.
We absolutely loved our room.
It was spacious, had a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, a nice balcony, and we loved having the separate bedroom.
We had a great view of a huge storm that was rolling in one night where there were tornadoes in other towns nearby.
I distinctly remember this night because they interrupted one of the final The Bachelor episodes of the season to show the storm path.
A place with a jacuzzi is also number one in my book.
I bring epsom salt with me whenever we travel to our timeshare resorts because we almost always have a jacuzzi in our unit (and the epsom salt is because virtually every type of bubble bath I’m allergic to except for pure epsom salt and oatmeal baths lol).
Don’t worry, all the doors around the bathroom can be closed and locked off from the rest of the unit so you can enjoy your bath in peace.
Overall, it’s definitely one of the better maintained resorts, especially now that it is under ownership and management of Hilton Grand Vacations.
Conclusion: Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club Review
Mystic Dunes Resort is a great place to stay when you’re in Orlando whether you’re there to go to Disney World, other theme parks, visiting for work, or just visiting friends or family.
It’s a nice home away from home with all the amenities in the room and around the resort that you could possibly need, plus it’s SO affordable.
