Which resort to pick from these?

[A Mickeyfan]

My 21 yr old DD will be taking us in July as a gift. She will have a friend going & so will my 17DD. There will also be me & my husband (total 6). We will be getting a 2 bedroom (same price for each resort, so price isn't a factor here). We will be doing Universal & Disney parks..From my choices, I have only stayed at Westgate Vacation Village before & know nothing on the others. My DD wants one with a "nice pool". If you had to pick, which would you go with? As of now, I am leaning toward Marriott Harbor Lake or Cypress Harbor.. here are all my choices....


Marriott Cypress Harbor
Marriott Harbor Lake
Marriott Royal Palms
Marriott Sabal Palms
Mystic Dunes resort
Parkway International
Westgate Lakes Resort
Westgate Towers
Westgate Town Center
Wesgate Vacation Village
Cypress Pointe Grande Villa



We really wanted Bonnet Creek again, but the guy we rent from ($700 for a 2 bedroom) cannot get it for me So we have this list to go with (as of now).

Cypress Harbour - it near sw so between WDW and US - has easy access to I4.

it is a lovely resort. plenty to do.

I'd avoid the Westgates, but you can't go wrong with any of the others. I think I'd try for a 3br, however, with all those females. The extra bathroom would come in handy.

We own at Mystic Dunes and like it. The Marriotts are all nice and I've heard good things about Cypress Pointe.

We stayed at Westgate Lakes once and the location is perfect for Universal, but less convenient for Disney.

I agree with SpiceyCat that Cypress Harbour is really nice.

Harbour Lake is nice too, but the pool area there is geared towards younger children.

If you want to add another one to your list, I'd also suggest Marriott's Grande Vista. I like this one the best out of all the Marriott resorts there. Great pool areas and set on a golf course.

Have a great trip!

These would be my choices in order of preference...

Marriott Cypress Harbour
Marriott Sabal Palms
Marriott Royal Palms
Cypress Pointe Grande Villas
Mystic Dunes resort

Cypress Harbour and Cypress Pointe are sort of mid-way between Disney and Universal (Cypress Pointe is closer to both theme park areas). The other two Marriotts are much closer to Disney than Universal but close by I-4 so easily accessible to Universal. Mystic Dunes is the furthest away from Universal and just south of Disney property in Kissimmee. The three Marriotts are the nicest resorts of these - both in terms of accommodations and resort amenities. And, of the Marriotts, Cypress Harbour is the nicest of the three. Cypress Harbour has two excellent pool areas (and a third, smaller pool). I'd suggest that you wouldn't been displeased with any of these resorts but Marriott timeshares are amongst the best of the best.

thank you for all your help. Now I just have to wait for out time frame to become available again my daughter hadn't gotten back to me on what she thought & now they aren't available.. Tiki Liki (can't spell it) & Star Island are but I don't want either of them... It will more than likely be one of the Marriotts for their location...
