I love it here! Plenty to do and you should never get bored. I do think the kitchen and bathrooms should be updated but other than that good. Lots of pools, golfing and restaurants in the resort so honestly no need to even leave unless going to parks. Another thing with the timeshare pressure is a lot but expected!

We stayed for 7 nights. The grounds and accommodations were excellent. It is a short drive to Disney World(10 minutes). There is a lot todo at the resort. Pools are super and very kid friendly. We will stay here again when in the area.

The West villa villas are great as they have a personal outdoor area with table and chairs and 2 loungers. The property was generally well maintained, and the kitchen area is spacious enough for two people and well equiped as your home.

The West villa villas are great as they have a personal outdoor area with table and chairs and 2 loungers. The property was generally well maintained, and the kitchen area is spacious enough for two people and well equiped as your home. The only thing I would have liked was an electric kettle for tea but we ended up using the coffee maker for that as well. American devices are easy to use as they are more focussed on task rather than temperature. We eat out most of the time but the Target supermarket nearby has a great range of products and for UK people remined me more of Asda or Sainsbury's. We also ate on the retail park next to Target and in restaurants nearby. I particularly enjoyed watching the birds visit the local pond while watching from our patio. My husband enjoyed the pool in the West Village and the Market place was great for a few essentials when we just arrived. Watching the differing skills of the golfers was also fun. Read less
