Best location for 3 bedroom condo accomodation

Hi

I'm looking at August 2021 and am looking at 3 bedroom properties. I've currently booked a room at Grande Villas on a free cancellation basis.

Any more suggestions? I'm looking at paying up to £2000 for 2 weeks if that helps. I would prefer it to be reasonably close (walking distance) to nice restaurants like the ale house etc.

Thanks

We stayed at cypress pointe in 2014 which is part of the same resort and we liked it... the condo was spacious and the location was great as we could walk to several restaurants. It was quite dated but it was clean. For next year we have booked storey lake resort as we like the modern accomodation and the facilities there so that could be worth a look? We have paid £120 per night for a 4 bed townhouse with its own splash pool.

I'm looking at the Sheraton Vistana Villages. Gets good reviews.

Grande villas is lovely - i stay there via timeshare.
Peaceful and close to parks and shops, especially as i use uber all the time.

I walk to the local restaurants and plenty to chose from, plus a supermarket, KFC and tacky souvenir shops.

The apartments are big, i have stayed in a 2 bed and a 1 bed which make up the 3 bed via a connecting door.

Can I ask who you booked this through?

We stayed at Cypress Pointe in 2019. Booked with Alpharooms.com via Topcashback. Travelrepublic are also competitive.

No problems at all with booking or resort. Large apartments (2 and 3 beds) but don't like the studios. Have stayed there several times and also Grande Villas. Vistana has nicer surroundings for the resort but more expensive and not as many places walkable.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'm sticking with grande villas for now. Its the only place I could find that has 3 distinct bedrooms which is something I need as we have a mixture of families and males/females etc.

The other issue is of course not wanting to commit myself. Its touch and go as to if we're going to be allowed in. My flexible booking is OK but its £500 less if you go non flexible which I can't do as of yet.

Maybe I'll look to firm up my booking and cancel this one later this year if things sort themselves out.
