We just returned yesterday from a great stay from the Vistana resort. We have Intervale International timeshare and we got the unit that was written on our confirmation letter. We were in the Lakes section top unit #1866. We had cathedral ceilings and a nice bright skylight. The place was very clean and decorated nicely. We had a view of a lake and the Marriott. We never heard any of our neighbors once. It was a tad noisy at night from all of the traffic on the highway. The noise didn't bother me but my husband is a really light sleeper. I would have barely noticed it if was not pointed out to me. The grounds were pretty and my kids loved the playground. I loved having a washer/dryer in our unit. The kitchen was the perfect size and well equipted with everything we needed. We had a big hot tub in our master bedroom. We loved that. The set up was fabulous and we all had plenty of privacy. The screened in porch was a great place to eat breakfast. The room key would not open the door one afternoon and security and maintenance had to come out to fix it. The card reader needed new batteries. The whole thing took 15 minutes to take care of and they were all apologies. They had a very friendly staff. We had a great stay but we were not at the resort that much and I wished we could have had time for the kids activities and more pool time. I did notice that some areas were a little dated. The area we were in was near the fountains area and that looked really nice like the Lakes section. I would stay there again. We felt very safe and comfortable there. I would give it a high rating. :thumbsup2 I would be happy to answer any questions.

We stayed there in Feb, & we are staying there in Nov 2006 & Feb 2007. I always try to save some time for DD11 at the kids club. DD makes me rent the, bike built for two, & we ride around the complex for an hour. For some reason, I hate doing it, & then in the long run, enjoy it and also, glad for the time, we spend together They truly have great activies for young & old.

Great report Tara, thanks for sharing.

Hey, Tara! I'm glad to hear that you liked the Vistana. Sounds like you got a nice unit. Isn't it wonderful to have all that space?!?! We have also had good experiences with the Vistana staff. If you go again, make time for the activities. The activity staff is great!
 
All the great advice and directions given to me on this board made our stay much more enjoyable. Check in was crazy. The diamond lane check in saved us a lot of time.
Tara :)
