We had such an amazing experience here. The rooms were spacious, clean, and kitchen was perfect for a family of 4. The staff were nice and amenities were perfect for every age. We were close to Disney parks, amazing Puerto Rican restaurant (PAL Campo), and close to the stores for groceries. This is our new go-to resort.

Vistana has risen to the top of our family's favorite resorts when we are in the Orlando area. Why? The amenities within the unit and the resort are enough to keep you there with out having to leave the property while you are on vacation. From the activity center, to the mini golf course, my favorite was the gym. The gym is large and well equipped. My unit was spacious, I loved it's location on the property, with a kitchen that had just about everything I needed to cook...I do cook on vacation and of course having a washer and dryer in your unit is very convenient. This resort checks all of our boxes: from proximity to the Disney Parks and Univeral, to the shopping areas and restaurants that are also close by. Vistana has now become our Orlando home when on vacation. Read less

This resort is spacious, clean, has plenty to do, and it's only a +/- 15-minute drive to Disney, Sea World, etc... Having a washer and dryer in the room was nice, and although the kitchen was small, we appreciated it being fully stocked with plenty of dishes, utensils, pots and pans, etc...

This resort is spacious, clean, has plenty to do, and it's only a +/- 15-minute drive to Disney, Sea World, etc... Having a washer and dryer in the room was nice, and although the kitchen was small, we appreciated it being fully stocked with plenty of dishes, utensils, pots and pans, etc... (If you're a coffee drinker, they have a regular coffee pot - - not a Keurig.) The master bedroom was very spacious, and the jacuzzi tub was great. We appreciated having double sinks in the master bathroom - - one was inside with the shower and toilet, and the other sink and counter was near the jacuzzi tub in the bedroom. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were not. We were so glad we had brought our pillows from home! The second bedroom was spacious. It had two double beds, but there was plenty of room for the ones that shared that space. We enjoyed being able to park in front of our room. Our room was on the first floor near the elevator, but we were never bothered by any noise from outside. There were lots of pools to choose from, but we enjoyed the one that was closest to our room. They also offered a variety of onsite activities for children and adults. Read less

This one hurts because we have a tradition here... A tradition that's been getting more and more painful over the last 3 years. Place has gone down hill. Used to be a a place to hang out, visit parks, and enjoy some pool time. Service has gone way down hill. Rooms are not clean, staff isn't friendly, and the new pay for clean towels policy is ridiculous. People used to follow the speed limit sign including the workers now it's a free for all. Can't walk 10 feet without the stench of weed. Pools are overcrowded but not because of guests. Store and restaurants are expensive. Card only, with the expectation of tipping for simply ringing up your purchase. Not many resorts have a dedicated fully marked cruiser parked next to the pool. This one does... Read less
