Opinions requested.

Trying to decide between Marriotts Royal Palm vs. Sable Palm and also the Sheraton Vistana Resort for an early Dec. trip.

Traveling with DW and an 11 month old.

Most important considerations are

1. Travel time to parks - first trip traveling for naptimes :goodvibes
2. Nice kiddie pool (hoping for at least some pool weather)
3. Local dinner/food options
4. Overall resort quality.

I have stayed twice at the Vistana resort so am familiar. A nice place to stay and a decent location.

What is the area around the two Marriots like?
What sections of the Sheraton are best to request?
Which of the three would you choose?

Thanks in advance for replies.

I tried to get reviews - but both the Marriott reviews are pretty old on tug.

I would say the Sabal Palms.

but royal palms were getting bad reviews because it needed a rehab badly but this was in 2004.

You can ask on the marriott forum on tug.

you can ask questions without joining tug. In this care joining tug would not help because the reviews are out of date.

they are several owners that post here.

I have stayed at the Sheraton Vistana it is very nice.

but I think I would go with one of the Marriott.
 
definitely the Sabal palms - here are some of its reviews

there are some royal palms at the same site but believe me you don't want to read them - it still needs to be updated.

I am really surprise that Marriott has let this resort go down. generally if Marriott can't get the resort (all resorts are owned individual) to update and rehab - they will drop it from their program.
