Pros: VERY spacious!
More like an apartment.
Jacuzzi in bedroom.
Great waterfall in lake.
Huge pool.
Cons: They don't provide free transportation to Universal or SeaWorld. Worrisome timeshare salespeople.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this hotel if you're staying more than 3 nights. Its like an apartment. Very nice, clean. Lake view is wonderful. Don't forget the IRide, avoid
time-share people!

| lutilly's Full Review: Sheraton's Vistana Villages on International Drive |
I totally loved this place. My husband and I had our two kids and my parents. We booked the two bedroom. And I was so pleasantly surprised. It was like a new apartment, fully stocked. Everything you need in a kitchen was there, but the food (not even coffee, so be sure to get your welcome pack because it will have coffee in it). Very clean. One bedroom had two double beds and a full bathroom. And the master bedroom had a king bed, the jacuzzi tub, and bathroom with a shower stall. There was also a pull out sofa. There was a washer and dryer in the room, and there were three t.v.s, one in each bedroom and a big one in the living room. The dining area had a table for six, very nice, but we mostly sat at the bar in the kitchen. Spectacular views, we had a view of the lake, right in front of the waterfall. They had a really big pool with sort of a waterfall and a smaller heated pool which I enjoyed tremendously. Also a hot tub. The gym is a little small, but there is one.
*Now here are their faults: There are salespeople that will try to get you to attend a time share sales meeting. They will offer free breakfasts and discounted theme park tickets. I would rather pay full price, but that's me.
Also, if you do not have transportation, they will try to get you to use a certain taxi because I think they get a kickback. BE SURE to ask them about the I-Ride. It goes up and down International Blvd. And all of the restaurants and shopping is on that street. The I-Ride ticket is like $2 per person but you can get multiple day tickets a lot cheaper. The hotel only provides transportation to Disney. The I-Ride goes right to seaworld, universal is a long ride on it, but much better that paying a taxi $66 for my family. ($11 per person) And lastly, there are no real restaurants on the property. They have a bar and a store with a deli where you can order sandwiches.
