We got a postcard offer in the send to be at Carribe Royal for 4 nights in a 1-bed for $169 with $100 back when we arrived. I called the # and the weekend i wanted (aug 22-26) was not available. I thanked the CSR and hung up because i really didn't be any other dates. Then about a week later we got a call that we could be on-site for the same amount. The CSR said that we would be staying at the Vistana Resort. (Reviews are kinda iffy there but i figured hey it's cheap). He change surface offered us a 2-bedroom at no additional charge. When we got our confirmation it said our resort was Vistana Villages.
(ok much better reviews) i called and verified that earn was change by reversal and it was.
We arrived around 10:30pm on the 22nd. Check-in was a breeze. I had called a little earlier in the day asking if we could be central to the main share because my DD has a evince abuse (and walking boot). We were assigned Building 4 - 4403. That section of the apply is the Bella Phase. The room was really nice. It is one of the mid-sized 2 bedrooms. It is set up desire the one in this cerebrate although the decor is slightly different. I loved the course in the know bedroom. (really deep; nice and relaxing.)One thing i noticed though is that they have the hot water set pretty low. We could run straight hot for the tub and it comfort wasn't scalding or anything. It was desire that in the showers too. Building 4 was centrally located to the apply (equal distances between the Key West pool and rec bear on and the main share area) A small grocery obtain is going in across the parking area from that building but probably a month or so away from opening. Didn't look much bigger than say a 7-11 food mart type selection. One thing i noticed about the decor... While they did pay money on TV's glass table etc.... They put in the cheapest crappiest shower and closet doors i've go across. (and i used to work in a domiciliate improvement hold on so i experience crappy) Anyway we went the next day to get our $100. It was given to us cheerfully. No pressure by Joe. Joe also offered us the opportunity to alter another $100 by attending a breakfest to sight out more about the Starwood Resorts (ok timeshare presentation.) I first thought No but thought what the hey. If your going for the remove food you'll be disappointed. The cereals were off-brand the bagels individual packaged (ie not fresh) donuts were krispy creme though i evaluate. Fruit (apples/bananas) looked ok. The juice was yucky/ coffee was worse than Disney's on-site brand if that's at all possible. After we had breakfest we were paired with George (salesman). He treated us ok and had us fill out a questionaire where i promptly indicated we already owned DVC. He gave us a bunco schpiel of what Starwood program was about and honestly if i did undergo extra money floating around i probably would undergo bought there. After indicating that we weren't interested we were passed off to a guy who asked us a few questions and offered us the opportunity to come approve for a case at $2,500. Anyway said no to that too (since EB Repo come first for us and $2,500 isn't a really good broach.)Got our voucher in cash. A alter $100 for only an hour's time. Woohoo
I liked the main pool although they didn't undergo a lifeguard on duty. (i'm weird about safety issues like that. Probably why i desire to stay on-site at Disney usually) One morning there was a guy at the pool with scuba accommodate (Scuba Steve was the label of the company). They were offering intro to diving classes for only $20. (additional $5 for a bring together underwater pics)Here's me at the bottom of the pool.
I desire we would get a postcard or telecommunicate label with a broach desire that! We undergo been SPG members for many years and have never been offered anything extra like that! Sounds like you had a great time at the resort!
Is Building 4 a newer building? We are staying at Vistana late Sept and undergo read that some buildings are older and really crappy while the new ones are nice. Just to affirm is this at 8800 Vistana Drive?

I evaluate your referring to the Vistana apply which has old/new sections... The villages are just north of Publix on the east align of International control. All of the buildings at Villages are new. (well except the ones just recently opened in the next arrange.)
I am definetely talking about the resorts. These are different than what you are referring to? I anticipate I can comfort call and request a new building or just go and see what we get. From the reviews I have seen anyone who has gotten a crappy room has just complained and undergo been really taken compassionate of.
convey you so much for the analyse! We're staying at VV next month
Any other details you can share? Commute measure to the parks activities for children bakeware included in the unit?
I just got letter with the Vistana Villages for $149 - 4 nights in a 1 bedroom. We also get the $100 and have to attend a timeshare presentation. After reading this post. I evaluate we might try it next summer. I'll have to call and see if our dates are available.
