A stay at Old Key West?

So, if you were going to or have stayed at OKW in a 1 bed villa, what area would you ask for and why?

My leaning to OKW is the boat to Springs, have stated at the PO resorts but this time need more space.

The resort looks huge, I have stayed at CBR and really did not like it due to size, I felt really isolated from everything, as in pool, restaurants, and transport

Thank you

We have stayed in Millers Road area 3 times and love that area, we were in block 18 twice and it is a great block, around 5 minutes walk to the HH and main pool and the bus stop is straight over the road and a quiet pool a minute or so walk away.

Block 62 is the best one in my opinion.

Sounds lovely, how far is the boat stop to the Springs?

To be honest if you felt that CBR is too big you’ll find OKW oven more spread out. It really is huge. The benefits of a one bed villa outweigh that though in my opinion. Plus you’re never far from one of the smaller pools.

We've stayed in Millers Road twice and loved the space of the 1bed villa.

I've stayed at Turtle Pond, block 35 opp bus stop which was v handy. Was also great for quiet pool, 2 mins, and a 10 min walk to main area and boat dock.

Here you go.

OKW is a very nice resort and 1 beds there are a massive upgrade on CBR. It is a big resort though, as is SSR. SSR though you can walk to Disney Springs.

Also think of renting DVC points, with no free dining plans it may work out substantially cheaper.
