Great pics!!

Wow! Well, yes, it's nice to have that extra level of service and of course the food/drinks with the concierge level. The Ritz itself doesn't have a lazy river, but all guests can use the pool and lazy river at the JW next door (5 min walk!). Food and drinks were phenomenal at the Club Lounge at...

Yes, same here, their pool is gorgeous! Definitely on my bucket list, but I must say, the Ritz was absolutely fantastic. Slightly more than the Yacht Club when we were there, but the pool was very relaxing and the club lounge offerings and service were phenomenal!

How do you find the hot rates? I like the Waldorf, but I think the rooms need a reno.

Ugh, everything is crazy right now! I'm the OP lol but I ended up going to the Ritz cause the rates were so much lower and I was able to get club-level access. Still, I'm looking to book for next October, and the rate for the basic standard room in 2022 is more than the lakefront one-bedroom...

Hi all, I'm using Mears for an upcoming trip...I know it says gratuity is included, but do you think drivers expect any additional gratuity in the form of a cash tip? Not sure if I should plan for that...thanks!

They do have some activities by the pool! There should be an activities calendar when you check in. It seemed to be a bit scaled-down during our last stay (April) but there were still some things going on. Bella is the phase by the main pool, but I think the villas in the St. Augustine phase...

This site has the current updates! https://hub.vacationclub.com/properties/sheraton-vistana-villages/ I stayed here last month - most is open but with limited hours.

You never know if they will be able to fulfill your request, but there is certainly no harm in asking! It's pretty common to request a phase or building. If you want to be close to the action (not that there is a ton going on at the moment), I'd probably recommend the Bella phase, which is...

Try this site! tinyjpg.com It lets upload up to 20 images at a time right from your phone and will resize them to make them smaller! May be easier on a computer though...

Looks great! I love this property but have not stayed there. Maybe I will have to in the future...thanks for the review and pics. :)

Curious if there have been any updates to this? When I attended a Marriott Vacation Club presentation in early 2017, the salesperson said (take this with a large grain of salt) that MVC was planning to add timeshares to the Swan/Dolphin. I have no idea if this could ever happen, considering...

All the second bedrooms do indeed have full beds, so you will be all set there! I agree that the Bella section would likely be a good fit for you because of its amenities. I love Key West, but it is quite secluded, and it's a good 5-10 minute walk to the main pool/restaurant. Just an FYI, there...

Did not book, but I've been monitoring prices. Thanks for all the advice.

If you want to be close to I-Drive, Amelia is the closest section! This is relatively new and was refurbished relatively recently as well. You'll want to avoid Key West as it's in the very back of the resort. I also personally try to avoid the Bella phase because it was the first one built and...

Thanks for the info, glad you had a nice stay! I am now thinking about the Ritz instead...the rate is significantly lower, but the amenities/rooms aren't quite as nice, IMO.

Thanks all for the advice! I just didn't know if there was an insider tip to get better rates as you can at a (5 diamond) Ritz or St. Regis due to their affiliated loyalty programs (I am aware that Four Seasons does not have one). And yes this was my other plan...I don't have AmEx Plat but I can...

We love Bahama Breeze! Tropical environment with good food!

Hello, does anyone know of any promos or tips to get a good rate at the Four Seasons Orlando? The resort is beautiful and I'd love to stay there for a few nights, but the rates still seem very high in May. The lowest I'm finding is just below 500 a night for an advance purchase rate in the...

Did you take a look at Sheraton Vistana Villages? They have 2 bedroom villas that typically aren't too expensive.
