Paradise Palms vs. Windsor Palms vs. Windsor Hills

Do you have experience with any? What are your impressions?
We are currently booked in at Windsor Hills, but we can get very similar lodging at both Paradise Palms and Windsor Palms for $1000+ less. That's a huge savings! Even after we forfeit our deposit at WH, that's still a savings of $700. Thoughts?

We have stayed at both Windsor Hills and Paradise Palms. Both have very nice pool/clubhouse areas; however we preferred the Paradise Palms pool area to Windsor Hills. The slide was smaller and our four year old could go down it, the hot tubs were next to the pool area, and there was a nice outdoor bar that my husband really enjoyed. We stayed at a town home at each and the Paradise Palms was bigger and our splash pool seemed slightly bigger as well. The biggest con to us was Paradise Palms was a longer drive to the parks. It took about 20-30 minutes to get to them. Windsor Hills was about 8-20 minutes.

I'm not sure which we would pick between the two of them. We have actually had the discussion and can't decide. They are both very nice and we had great stays at each.

We haven't stayed at Paradise Palms so I cant offer perspective on that but we have stayed at both Windsor Hills and Windsor Palms. Both are very conveniently located a few minutes from WDW. The 2 and 3 bedroom condos in both are pretty much identical in set up and space. The pool area and club house at Windsor Hills are much nicer. The pool at Windsor Hills is much bigger with a slide and a big hot tub. The pool at Windsor Palms is just an average pool. Also, the buildings at Windsor Hills have elevators while Windsor Palms does not. Kind of a pain when you are lugging in your groceries and luggage. I don't know if I would be willing to pay 700 extra to stay at WH unless I was going to spend a lot of time at the pool. For that amount extra I would stay at Bonnet Creek!
