Windsor Palms or Emerald Island
After 2 weeks of research finally have a shortlist of villas mainly in Windsor palms or Emerald island as we want to be close to Disney and also have some on site facilities. Can anyone help me make up my mind which is best. My kids are 10, 8 and 3. Any advise greatly appreciated thanks.

much of a muchness in terms of proximity - palms is a bit older, and emerald island is a bit bigger... down to what you can get villas for, at end of day.

I have stayed in both and preferred Emerald Island. I just liked the layout of the resort and it is a few years younger than Windsor Palms.

Deb has pretty much nailed it. My last guests particularly mentioned the local guy who does the karaoke night.

Hi we've just got back from EI and it was in a brill location and the villa we stayed in was fab. There is a bar at EI and there drinks were reasonably priced and they did snacks and things too.

They are two of the three gated resort developments in the 'Formosa Gardens area (the other being Windsor Hills) - all are nice resorts and 'closest to Disney'.
