Vistana Villages

I had a one-bedroom villa and I would recommend this resort to anyone who appreciates clean, spacious, and well-maintained accommodations. It has all the amenities of home with room service. There are big screen TVs in all rooms, VCR or DVD, stereo, enclosed porch, kitchen, and a Jacuzzi.

They have also added free wireless Internet access through out the resort which is a great way to stay connected. There are also tennis courts, a game room, business center, and basketball courts available on the premises. At this time they only have one pool with a waterfall in the center of the pool. They are in the process of building an additional pool in the Lakes section. Even with only one pool it never felt crowded. You can also order casual food including sandwiches, burgers, drinks, and snacks poolside.

The fitness center is small but you can get a decent workout done and sit in the steam room to ease your muscles. There are also an assortment of activities on the property ranging from Arts and crafts, board games, and adult bingo. The majority of the activities are free of charge.

This is the best place to stay. If you are traveling with a group of friends or family, I would recommend this location since it is more cost-effective than a hotel room. You have the optional of cooking or keeping snacks handy, which can really add up especially if traveling with children or teenagers.

This location which is the newer timeshare that Starwood offers is ideally located near the attractions. Less than a mile away is a supermarket and Walgreens where you can stock up on staples. Orlando Premium outlets are less than 5 minutes away and you can get some great deals. The Disney parks are two exits away and Universal and Seaworld are also located close to this resort.
