Hi OP if you mean Diamond Resorts Grande Villas in Lake Buena Vista then yes we’ve stayed many times, what specifically do you want to know? The 2 bed 2 bathroom apartments are huge! There are a couple of pools on the villas side and there’s a mini golf and decent wifi included in the resort fee. Members don’t pay the resort fee (its a timeshare resort). Parking is usually plentiful and units have always been clean. There’s a small convenience store and pizza/fast food/pool bar in the centre of the resort.
Although it has a separate check in, guests at Grande Villas can also use the volcano pool at Cypress Pointe (across the road). We always have a car but there’s also a Winn Dixie, Giordanos, Gas station, mannys etc nearby that you could walk to if you were so minded. |

We’ve stayed a few times now in the 2 bedrooms. They are big. Full kitchen. It’s a cheaper option to the Sheraton Vistana places. Highly recommend them. There’s a Kobe/hooters 5 mins walk away. Olive Garden 10 minutes. The crossroads complex is 15 mins. I walked to Disney springs in under 40 minutes.
There’s a quick 5 minute drive to the Vineland outlet (misses all of the traffic), which would be useful to Uber to the new Cheesecake Factory. |

ive stayed here too and love the area. The apartments are huge so plenty of space. the pool area is lovely
There is a winn dixie 5 minutes away, walgreens; the garage; pizza hut and kfc are also 5 minutes in the other direction. Plus steak n shake for that ultra thick shake Denny's and IHOP are just a little further down the road. Close to Disney and easy to get to Universal and SeaWorld via the back road.

We stayed across the road at the cypress pointe resort and loved it. We had a 3 bed unit and it was massive and we loved the location.
