I ve stayed at Vistana Villages and it s a fun experience. It s more like you have your little home instead of hotel room. I would recommend it to anyone. Good luck!
Not stayed at them. Depends on where you want to be close. SVV is about the same distance to Disney and Sea World. It is also really close to a Outlet mall (Premium Outlets) and a Publix supermarket. HGVC at Sea World is alsmost just across the street from SW and the closest shopping for groceries is a wal mart supercenter. Both has a nice central location though if you are going to any of the major theme parks.
We stayed at the Hilton a few years ago and it was brilliant, close to all the attractions. Also there was always something to do entertainment wise. We have since gone back the the Hilton grand vacation club and again thoroughly enjoyed it.
