Back from Vistana Villages - Thank you, DISers and SkyAuction!

[ushkina]

We just got back from staying in Vistana Villages and we were very pleased! I won a 1-bedroom room in VV on SkyAuction for the total of 275$ per week, which I thought was an amazing deal.
Big thanks to everybody on this board who shared their knowledge about SkyAuction and VV - your advice was so helpful!

Here is a short review:
We stayed in a small 1 bedroom unit in building 10. Although the suite was much smaller than I expected (ok for 2-3 people, but would be tight for 4), it had everything we needed: kitchennete with a fridge, microwave, toaster etc., washer/dryer, a nice balcony, pull-out sleeper sofa in the living room, two TV-s.
I wanted a bigger 1 bedroom villa, the one that has a jacuzzi in the bedroom, but they did not have any available at the time. Having a balcony was really nice. Although people here did not recommend building 10, I actually liked it - it is in a quiet area, and the noises from International drive did not bother us.
The resort was beautiful, the pool was so great that we stayed at the hotel for 2 days instead of spending this time in the parks
Please ask if you have any questions,

Olga

I have never had a bad time at VV. My first trip was the week they opened and I complained about the construction noise. I wrote to Sheraton and they had the manager call me. He gave me a great rate and 3 free days the next year so I went back. the following year we also found a great rate so we returned. I love it and the only reason I did not return last year was I could not get a great rate I was spoiled.
