Ok.....

I need some help.

Which reort is the best?

Cypress Pointe?

Windsor Hills?

Regal Palms?

Sheraton Vistana?

Is Windosr Hills the newest of all 4?? I know Sheraton has some older sections and some newer (we stayed there before). All 4 are similiar priced but the first three are much bigger accommodations for my family of 6! PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE! This is way too hard.

Cypress Pointe and Sheraton Vistana are timeshares

Windsor Hills and regal palms are either houses or condo - but you should be able to find the owner and sometimes get a better deal.

Cypress pointe will through a vast rehab in 2004. It is closer to Disney than your other choices. It is a timeshare so it will have activities for your children.

that say both Windsor Hills and Regal Palms are newer.

do you look here for an owner - sometimes you can get a better deal through the owner

here are some more sites for the houses/condo that you can rent directly from the owner

you are comparing apples and oranges.

Similar question for me... close to booking a pool home at Regal Palms, but want to make sure I'm not missing out on something similar but better somewhere else. We want a pool home, but also want a new/nice/large community pool/clubhouse area to give a little more resort feel also. Any other options better than Regal Palms or Windor Hills?

Of the ones you have listed, I have stayed at Vistana and Cypress and I would say the grounds of Vistana are far superior and any villa I have stayed in at Vistana was nicer than the one we were in at Cypress but we stayed there before the renovation.

These are all really nice resorts. Regal Palms is the furthest from the parks, but I think has the nicest pool area. You can see it on www.regalpalmsorlando.com.

Cypress Points rooms are very nice, but the pool area did not thrill me. Vistana is much larger than the other ones.

Windsor Hills is also very nice and closer than Regal Palms. The pool area here is also nice but does not have the lazy river feature that Regal Palms does. This is, however, very close to Disney and if my kids didn't love the lazy river so much, we would stay here next time.

Just to let you know, though, that these are either a timeshare resort or privately owned. Which usually means no room service, or daily maid service unless you want to pay a fortune extra. Some people don't like this on vacation and thought I should just mention it.

Happy planning!
