Marriott Grand Vista or Vistana Village

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

which would you choose? Our 3 kids are 8mos, almost 3 and 5. I got the Marriot timeshare call which offered 2 bedroom villa for $199 (4nites) pls 3 extra at 79. which will be be about 75 per nite average. I could not get all 7 nites at V.V thru HotelKingdom so the average price is 120.00 per nite. The only draw back is the 90min timeshare tour at Marriot. But I figure one of the kids is bound to go off and I could hurry along the presentation. The price is really not the issue because both places look incredible. Anyone have any thoughts either way? I will need to confirm tomorrow as space is getting limited for our travel dates in May. Thanks for your input.

We stayed at Vistana last year - 4 adults and 2 children 6 & 3 - we loved it - we stayed at an older building near the pool - don't remember bldg # - it was old but CLEAN - nice litttle kitchen - a separate eating area that merged into the family room and a balcony that overlooked a small pond with fountain. the balcony was screened and we were on the 1st floor but we still had a nice view with relaxing sounds of fountain - the pool was a block or so away and it was big and clean - 2 hot tubs up a wooded path - we rented rafts - had a great time - only a 1/4 mile to dsny main gate. If you go with Marriott I'm sure if you tell them right off you're really not interested (I know it's hard to do ) and schedule your tour early it won't waste too much of your day it would be worth it also ( I think Marriott is newer)
Have a great trip!!!

Just got back from Vistana Villages. They are often confused with Vistana Resort. The resort is what the earlier post was referring to. Vistana Villages is only about a year old and smaller. Beautiful and very well kept. We got the 6 nights & 7th free. It averaged out to about $88.00 a night for a one bedroom. Would definately go back. Cant say enough good about the place.
