    Interesting this Jeremy, thank you. We always stay at the Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas and are often tempted to try the Villages out instead. Nostalgia keeps us at the Resort every time 🙂 We had family stay at the Villages (they have stayed at the Resort as well) and preferred the Villages as they were newer and still not too far away from the Disney action.

    Ah great topic and great info! Super helpful video! Don’t think you can lose with either property.
    I had a tough time trying to pin down the number of units at the Vistana Villages. I kept getting different answers🤣🤔
    Can’t wait to get back to the Vistana Resort to make this comparison.

    • @DestinationTimeshare
      @DestinationTimeshare  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The problem with many of these resorts is the number of keyed rooms vs the number of units the timeshare developer actually sold. So, depending on who you ask, you can get very different answers. At Vistana Villages, they sold about 750 units as timeshare, but many of those units are comprised of two separate one bedroom units put together to make a two bedroom. There are even some that are comprised of three one bedroom units to make a three bedroom. The number of units I quoted is based on he number sold, but the total number of keyed units is much higher. Thanks for watching!

    @evelynk7028 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    When looking for hotels/resorts, I couldn't wrap my head around exactly what the difference was - whether they were pretty much the same thing and this has broken it down beautifully. The only thing I would like to suggest and see added to this is whether any of the resorts have other activities on site like mini-golf, indoor arcade for kids, kids club etc.

    We are currently staying at Vistana Villages for the third straight week and absolutely love it. The pirate pool has been down since the day after Labor Day for renovations. My wife gets her Starbucks daily at the marketplace and has been very pleased with how nice the employees are. The breeze bar just changed their menu to much better food options. We did go over to Vistana Resort last week to check it out and while it is huge and has 7 pools their just was not that resort feelling that the Villages have.

    • @DestinationTimeshare
      @DestinationTimeshare  ปีที่แล้ว

      I had heard they would be taking the St Augustine pool offline. Great to hear about Breezes. We ate there quite a while ago and the selection was limited. I agree on the resort feel. Vistana Resort doesn't have it like Vistana Villages does.
      You must really love Vistana Villages to go back for three weeks in a row. That is longer than we have ever stayed any time consecutively at any resort except for the time we did three weeks at Cypress Harbour.

    We have a stay booked at the Sheraton Vistana villages on I-drive in September ‘23. Wondering if/where we can order groceries and have them delivered before we get there or delivered in time for when we get there?

    • @DestinationTimeshare
      @DestinationTimeshare  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think most delivery apps will work, but there is also a Publix grocery store just down the street about a mile. So you may be able to order direct from there. I don't know if the resort has a place to store cold items, so you probably want to have the stuff delivered while you are at the resort and can be there to meet them when they deliver. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

    So you have to be a timeshare owner? Is there pressure to attend a presentation? We have no interest in that. I want to feel safe at my resort and able to walk to different pools and find food with my 8 year old and not get lost lol. Husband will want to golf a few days. Thanks

    • @DestinationTimeshare
      @DestinationTimeshare  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We are owners and you will likely be asked to attend a presentation when you check in. You might avoid this if you check in very early in the morning or late at night. Otherwise they will ask you to go and get a parking pass and at that time they will likely ask you to attend. Just politely decline, you may need to say no more than once. If you are good at saying No, you will be fine. Once you get past this step, you should be in the clear.
