Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas, Lake Buena Vista/Orlando
I’d recommend that others check this place out. We only had a short stay and really would have tried to enjoy a longer stay. Maybe next time. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The property is gorgeous and vast. Really would like to say that I’d stay there again. Oh…well we are but maybe next time ...

Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando
When we got to our room, it was hot. I realized the AC was not on. I’ve never gotten into a room in the air conditioning was off other than that. Everything was great. I did not have the breakfast cause I did not know they had breakfast.
