For us, it was all about the location. Being able to pop in and out of Epcot during the day was a big plus. As our favorite park, we spend a lot of time here. We'll also have quite a few dinners in the World Showcase during a vacation. It was nice to go back to the room, shower and change, and be right there for dinner.
BCV is top of my list for table service, and bottom of my list for counter service. We love both Cape May Cafe (both breakfast and dinner) and Beaches & Cream. (For the life of me, I can't figure out why B&C doesn't take ADRs, though.) As far as the selection in the Marketplace goes, though -- P.U. (with a capital "ew"). What I wouldn't give to have SSR's Artist's Pallet replicated at BCV. Hurricane Hanna's (at the SAB pool) is another counter service option that offers a little more selection. However, trying to get near it when the pool is open is a chore.
I wasn't real fond of the long hallways at BCV. I do prefer the condo style resorts. But getting to the villas isn't that bad (as compared to some of the resorts).
We're studio stayers on most trips. One other down side of the BCV is the number of washers and dryers in the common laundry room. They're big machines, but I wish they'd add a few.
Quiet pool is very nice. There's also a BBQ grill in this area and a few tables.
We've never used the Community Hall at the resorts that have them, so I didn't really miss that.
SAB is a big plus. We enjoyed this pool so much, it was a really large factor in our buying points at BCV. It's one of the few you can't pool hop to, so you need to be staying at Beach or Yacht clubs to use it.
We didn't stay for the entire show, but we also thought the campfire and movies on the beach were a nice touch.
The pastel colors in the rooms are also nice. It truly does give it a beachy feel.
