HGVC on International Drive

This is one of the nicest resorts in the Orlando area. Not sure why some reviewers are comparing this place to the Sheraton Vistana as they are not in the same league. The Vistana is a high end government housing projects. I would kill to stay at the HGVC again. Nice ammeneties and high end decor. Decent size units with balconies in each bedrooms.

We stayed here for 3 nights on a promotion tour. We did not buy here because we own too many timeshares already. This resort has some of the nicest rooms we've stayed in and we have stayed in many resorts. We are 4 star elite with Starwood. It hurts me to say it, but this is nicer than Vistana Villages....very good service too. If you are looking for a great resort outside of the parks, this is it.

Great time. The activity staff was terrific. We spent one day at Magic Kingdom and the kids were fine spending the rest of the week at the resort. It almost seems like a waste to go to the parks.

We (a kid-free middle-aged couple) spent 4 days here in December 2005 and can't wait to go back. This is far and away the nicest timeshare property we've visited. I can't think of a single negative about the place. Our suite was just beautiful, lovely decor, very clean, and totally functional. The appliances looked like they'd never been used. Nice little desk arrangement with high-speed Internet jacks and plugs. Screened porch overlooking the lake. The front-desk staff was very friendly and helpful. This is everything a timeshare should be.

We've been back 3 times since this initial review. Staying at this resort continues to be a very pleasing experience.

We stayed at the HGVC instead of the Sheraton Vistana Villages in June. We were very excited to go there but we a bit disappointed. I guess if you are comparing this resort to others you can be critical. We were disappointed by the pool as its pretty well all about 3-4 feet. So for my husband who is 6' tall it was like being in a kids pool. Also kids were at all ends of the pool and it was a bit on the loud side. You don't have this at the Vistana Villages. It was also a long walk or drive as we did from our building to the pool. The room for a 1 bedroom was no where near as nice as the Sheraton Vistana Villages Premium one Bedroom. The Kitchen was very small and not very spacious. Like I said if you have not been to the Sheraton Vistan Villages then you will like the units but once you have stayed there you will find the Villages all the way around offers more luxury for a family trip. Try the Villages and you will see exactly what I mean.
