Nice, clean, well maintained and updated. Ridiculous to pay a fee for fresh towels if you desire beyond the first day of stay. Parking was $25 per day so make sure to add that in considering your lodging cost. The kids did enjoy the pool area and a few activities. Staff was nice and accommodating throughout the stay until after the sales… Read more

Parking was $25 per day so make sure to add that in considering your lodging cost. The kids did enjoy the pool area and a few activities. Staff was nice and accommodating throughout the stay until after the sales presentation. Certain sales staff turned on us from kindness to an awkward behavior of disappointment and shame/ disgrace because we didn't buy into Marriotts time share plan that is masked under some new terminology.

Upon arrival we noticed how beautiful the grounds are. Check in was pretty easy,have your email confirmation ready. They even put us close to our friends which was amazing! The 2 bedroom unit is beautiful, updated, very,very,clean. There is a stackable washer and dryer, full kitchen,huge bathtub. Nice roomy bedrooms, linens are ok, pillows could use replacing. Kitchen has almost everything you might need. And they leave you with some dishwasher tablets and a sponge, and some laundry detergent. The pools are abundant and well maintained. The only downside of this resort is no smart tvs. So don't expect to have netflix or any apps at all on the huge nice tvs in the units, basic cable only. Read less

This is an honest review of my stay during this past weekend. If I based it on the reviews on here that I kept reading for weeks, I would have never stayed, but everyone should judge the villas on their own.

This is an honest review of my stay during this past weekend. If I based it on the reviews on here that I kept reading for weeks, I would have never stayed, but everyone should judge the villas on their own. I've been to this resort years ago and didn't realize it until we entered the main entrance for check-in and when I say it was a total upgrade on the villa. The villa we received was the SPA Villa and let me tell you it was clean and beautiful inside with no issues. The only issue I had were the king bed, two doubles and the pull-out sofa bed were all hard and not soft as the Vistana on International drive. We had a delay because it was raining and an accident occurred, so we came to check in around 9 pm. The staff were understanding and very friendly. I know the whole concierge thing they push on you to get a timeshare, and they do not take no for an answer, and I even told the guy I was not interested, and he kept persisting it (that was a no no for me). It was frustrating to find the villa at first because I felt like I was in a maze but after we figured where we needed to enter to find it easily. Very nice villa and staff and I would stay again only if the beds were changed to a softer bedding. Read less

This was our second time staying at this resort, staying for 14 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment. Parking was free, room was very clean and it was spacious. My big issue was the pool area. There are only a handful of loungers with shade and they are all gone by 10am all the way through to 5pm. There are no staff round the pool to stop people… Read more
This was our second time staying at this resort, staying for 14 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment. Parking was free, room was very clean and it was spacious. My big issue was the pool area. There are only a handful of loungers with shade and they are all gone by 10am all the way through to 5pm. There are no staff round the pool to stop people hogging the loungers and it has a motel vibe to it. The pool itself is pretty gross, very cloudy and over crowded, we avoided it as much as possible. The resort shop is crazy expensive, $10 for a small pack of baby wipes, $7 for water etc. Our room did have a bit of a bug problem, we had 6-7 giant maggot things in the kitchen (we looked them up and they were larvae of something). We also had a small frog in the bedroom (florida lol!). Overall it was OK but we're probably going to stay on disney property next year. Read less

Going back to Orlando for the first time in a few years next month, and was greatly looking forward to staying at the Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas, but was shocked to find out that there is no longer free parking at the hotel!

Going back to Orlando for the first time in a few years next month, and was greatly looking forward to staying at the Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas, but was shocked to find out that there is no longer free parking at the hotel! Unfortunately, for us the parking fee of $25 per day was the breaking point despite the pleasant stays we've had here in the past. We opted to book accommodations at another nearby vacation rental due to the fee as our stay total was much more reasonable considering the length of our stay. We've stayed here twice in the past, great and quiet place! Read less
