“Almost a Great Vacation Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Stayed 2/4 - 2/11/12. This was a timeshare trade we own at the Marriott Sable Palms.
Good: Pete @ check-in desk fast & easy check-in, Our 2 bedroom unit was in block 11 close to the lobby & restaurant, Room & Gardens were clean, Quite pool was nice no kids toys & splashing, I put the do not disturb sign out & the maid left clean towels & paper products at the door. (very nice)!
Bad: SALES CALLS I didn't pick-up the welcome gift because I knew it was a sales pitch!
1st call was to come & get the free gift. "I said no thank you".
2nd call the next night 9:00 pm to come for a free breakfast. Informed them "not interested I own 3 weeks at the Marriott".
3rd call 7:00am they have one table left for the free breakfast. "Please leave me alone I am on vacation"!

Basketball court noise was bad from our end unit.

Would stay here again but I would unplug the phones to avoid the sales calls.

“Better than AWESOME for the family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Ok, only been here 2 days , but had to start writing up a review. Place is fantastic for the family, pools, exercise rooms, restaurants. We area in the St Augustine section.
Best of all. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION.
Smack dab in the middle of Disney/Sea World territory.
great heated pools for the kids, water fall and the pirate boat pools with a water slide.
Fun at pool bar decent, not 5 star, but doable. Children's menu not badly priced as well.
I will update after my stay is completed, but so far.....
GRAND place.
Staff has been GRAND as well.

Room Tip: make sue to ask for the bigger rooms, its nice to have the space. we have a full size kitchen, grea...

“Excellent rooms. Excellent facilities. Excellent location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

I've stayed here on several occasions now. I've stayed in each of the 4 complexes. Blocks 1 and 2 are the oldest but are regularly renovated. Blocks 1-11 are around the main pool which is far busier than the other two. If you want it quieter, book in the keys (blocks 12-16). Amelie and St Augustine are the newer blocks. All are good. Tv is ok if you need it. Pools are clean. There's a couple of slides in the newer complexes. The whole place is clean. Outside barbecues provided. Fridges plenty big enough to handle a good shop. Publix is 5 minutes drive - good value, not as cheap as Walmart, but good enough. Great restaurants nearby. We love "red lobster" at crossroads, longhorn on Vineland and cici's pizza on international. Hotel is 5-10 minutes from seaworld 15-20 from universal and 15 minutes from downtown Disney. Its also very convenient from Orlando international being just off the central Florida parkway. You can be on either coast in an hour or so.

All rooms are excellent and if you are a family of 3, the smaller rooms are great value as the sofa bed easily sleeps teenagers and you get your own privacy - you'd have to book 2 hotel rooms to get the same space. we've also stayed with 5 in a double room and we certainly aren't cramped.

I'd really recommend this place.

Room Tip: Keys is quieter. Bella is older, but busier and more facilities. Amelie and st Augustine newer.

“Perfect week”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We exchanged as timeshare owners. I would rent here on a heartbeat. Villa are beautiful, clean & nicely decorated. No one bothers you with sales calls. This resort is huge with 9 sections; each os lovely. You can cook in, eat at many resort snack bars etc or eat out in numerous restaurants within a 3 mile radius. Close to Disneyworld north gate.

“4 pretty good days”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I recently stayed at the Sheraton Vistana Villages Resort Villas, International Drive/Orlando. I stayed from Jan 21-25 in a 1 bedroom villa as I was attending a conference at the Orange County Convention Center. The location is good; it is 10 minutes to the convention center and only a few minutes to one of the outlet malls. The other outlet is about 20 minutes away but many of the main attractions are very close such as Disney, Sea World, etc...
There is a restaurant on the resort itself but I did not eat there. The main strip of restaurants on International Drive are about 10 minutes away by car.
As for the resort itself I was pleased on the cleanliness of my room and that parking is free at the resort. My villa was the furthest from the check in so anytime I needed to go to the main lobby for something I had to drive there. The only issues I had was that the "free internet" in my room was terrible and I could never connect. I was only able to get on once during my stay and I did lose the connection after 10 minutes. The other issue was taking a shower it took 2-3 minutes for the water to warm up.
Overall, I would recommend this resort to people and I look forward to coming back on vacation with the rest of my family. It is a great spot for families as it has a few pools and a full kitchen with washer and dryer.
