We also looked on youtube a couple of years ago to decide between the two and went for OKW. We have booked to return for our third stay next August! We always have a one bed which we love as it is so spacious and love the pretty theme and feel of the place. We had a quick look at SSR this year but did not like the feel of it... no palm trees... unacceptable lol.

I would choose Ssr if you don't want a quiet resort. OKW is very very quiet. We have stated in a One bed at BWV which is the same size and its definitely not small

the beach club & bwv would be too expensive for me unfortunately.
I would be looking at carribean beach with the Quick Service dining or the OKW or SSR, however looking at carribean beach it is cheaper & the resort looks to be a little smaller.

Sorry for annoying ye all now, need to make the booking soon though as the free dining is up tonight ( unless its extended last minute lol )

Loved SSR when we stayed there, if I had the choice now however I would go to OKW (always would try somewhere different).

So that's no help to you atall but be assured whichever you choose you will love and whichever you don't visit will be a reason for another trip in the future.

Had the same dilemma, looked through loads of resorts then narrowed it to OKW and SSR. What finally sold it for us was the extra space - mentioned several times on reviews I've read - and the theming, we just love the look of it, it's based on Florida Keys, tropical, palm trees, marina etc. I've booked for 5 days and admit to having a look at other resorts still but still prefer OKW. Good luck, whatever you choose I'm sure it'll be great.

We were stuck between OKW & SSR also, but went for OKW as the Studio's have two proper Beds and not one bed and a Sofa Bed.

I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time wherever you stay...

Yeh, forgot to mention this, much prefer 2 doubles (just DD(17)), sofa beds tend to be uncomfortable.
