We’ve enjoyed both, but we really loved OKW. We had a studio a few years back and this fall had a 1BR right on the golf course (both in good repair). We really felt like we were on vacation, finding the overall chill vibe of the resort best to our liking (of most resorts).
Both OKW trips were in the Miller’s Rd area, and we walked (with both older people and little kids) to the Hospitality House area, the bus stop and the quiet pool, etc. Not bad at all. (Friends of ours prefer the Turtle Pond area because the quiet pool there has a snack bar). We always have a car but we found the resort easy to get around. We biked to DS via the pathway from OKW through the golf course and SSR and that was fun and different. The boat ride to DS at night was really beautiful, too. We took advantage of a lot they had to offer including the Community Hall craft room, hammocks, and Olivia’s, etc. Didn’t mind Goods to Go, either. (They had honey for my tea which surprised me!) We found staff exceptional (and put one particularly stellar CM in for recognition).
At SSR the first night we tried to walk to DS, but got hopelessly lost and gave up. Later we figured it out and it wasn’t too bad. The boat was closed early when we were there so we never got to take it to DS. We stayed in Grandstand and the bus stop was right there (and first stop, if I recall correctly). We really liked The Artist’s Pallette quick service, but didn’t try the table service restaurant. DS has golfed from there before. Overall, it was ok, but not our favorite.
