I just found this thread
Thinking of going here for a week w/no parks, so we'd need a resort w/a great pool. We're needing to get the place through a getaway with interval international....is Sheraton Vistana our best option? Is there a section that's better than others for a better pool?? Also, are Sheraton Resort & Sheraton Villages the same??
thanks!!
We stayed at both . Villages is smaller, don't quote me on this but I do believe there are 4 sections but only 3 pools. We were there the first year that the pirate pool was in operation. The younger kids seem to really enjoy it. There was only one restaurant but we usually dine in the condo or off site. St. Augustine section was brand new. If you read past threads you will understand why we have fallen in love with SVR. It has everything that adults and children could want. It is a great alternative to the theme parks resorts. Your experience also depends on the time of year you will be visiting. Over crowding and rude inappropriate behavior by other guests can ruin anyone's vacation. The great thing about the location of this particular resort is that during the day many are doing the park scene. I would choose this resort at a price over any free offer to stay almost anywhere else in Orlando. With the exception of the Hilton on International Drive, it really is also a wonderful resort but almost impossible to get into during Feb/March.
I will end with this , it takes a lot to impress me but I will most likely in the near future become an owner at SVR.
