All the buildings are close. The Keys does have its own smaller pool, but does not have anywhere you can buy refreshments or meals or snacks - you have to go over to the main pool aea which has massage tables, a poolside shop, activities centre, bar, restarautnt, jacuzzi's, and a smaller quiet pool. It is also the biggest pool with waterfalls, etc, and a small playpark nearby. That said, the closest buldings to it may also suffer from the most noise from it. Music is played most of the day and early evening, and the pool itself is open intil midnight. In fact TONIGHT I and my famly just came back from a late night dip there (10:30pm) and it was quite busy.
The newest blocks are slightly further away - but you are talking just a 100yds further - maybe a further 60 second walk. The benefit is they are quiter, newer (in fact brand new), and have lovely lake views, with bridges and pagodas all round. It literaly only takes a a minute more to get to pool, than the older, noisier poolside ones.
Sheraton Vistana Villages (unlike Vistana Resort) is small, so everything is close to your villa/apartment
I guess now that the trip is closer I am just worrying. Nice to know that its not too big and have to drive to the pool! We loved our stay there except for the timeshare sell. This time I won't go. The rooms were lovely. So looking forward to some R&R especially a soak in the jacuzzi tub!!
But how were the activities. We are arriving on Saturday and I wanted to know if they were doing anything special on Halloween for kids.
