We've stayed in a two bedroom villa but only for one night till our own villa was available. Seemed very nice but we arrived in the dark and rain and left the following morning so didn't see much! Our villa thingy was lovely. It is an absolutely huge resort though, have a look on Google maps. Pussycat

We love it and had our 5th stay there in May. We've had both 2 and 3 bed villa/condos. The accommodation is huge and well maintained, bathrooms for each bedroom, full kitchen and laundry. Welcome packs give you all washing up liquid, bin bags, toilet rolls etc with loads of spares. Not daily cleaning unless you want it at a cost, but you do get one for week long stays. we ended up with 4 cleans whilst we were there. The beds are really comfy, one of the few places that I'd swap our own for.

Balconies are massive and would easily seat 8 or more comfortably.

Huge resort.. Miles long literally. You will need a car, 7 pools, lots of restaurants, Starbucks locations and lots of free entertainment as well as paid for activities, including a water sports lake and 2 golf courses. They do have a resort shuttle that trundles around.

Great location for Disney, borders animal kingdom and if you are lucky you can see wishes and illuminations every night. Just across the road from Perkins and Target as well as lots of restaurants.

It is a cashless resort, but we just pay up at reception before check out if we have cash to use up, so not an issue.

Wow sounds amazing! Was looking at one of the 2 bedroom premium villas? Where's the best place to book? I'm excited now

We costed it direct one year and couldn't get close to the VH price plus VH also waive the resort fee. You can upgrade to a River Island villa for a few hundred pounds. Nice and close to River Island pool (overlooks it) but we prefer the layout of the East Village blocks and decided the extra cash would be better spent on activities.

East village is the furthest from the entrance and does take a good 10 mins to drive it (well depends on how many golf buggies you get behind!). The resort is vast.

Have a wonderful time

We love it, stay in the tennis circle so we can use the golf driving range as and when we want to
There's a pool close by there too, shops etc, close to the entrance, where there's olive garden, longhorn, sweet tomatoes, Bahama breeze etc
Cant rate it highly enough
