What Guests Are Saying
“This is a fantastic hotel for a Disney vacation. Huge, modern two bed self catering apartments which personally I feel give you so much more than any official on site theme park hotel. The place is vast in size with loads of pools and different places to eat. You’re within easy reach of all the parks and Disney Springs. Bonus that Macdonalds, Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks are all walking distance if you want an easy option after a heavy day at the parks. Truly don’t think you can do much better than this place in terms of location to parks, size of what you get and how clean it all is. Only minor downside is the food options aren’t amazing, and the car parking charges I felt were too heavy.” — Simon B., 5 stars
“Overall the resort we clean and the service was good. Shout outs wood go to Logan from member services and the manager Allison for handling a difficult situation. For the pools in cascades. We had a great experience. Plenty of towels and chairs. We have been going to this hotel for years. The kitchen was well equipped.” — Liz S., 5 stars
“we stayed for one week and we enjoyed the cleanliness, the opportunity to use a common shared bbq and the swimming pool. need of a car to visit the area, we really enjoyed Winter Gardens and the Scenic Boat Tour of Winter Park” — stegu1234, 5 stars

What guests are saying about Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas, Lake Buena.
"We stayed at Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas, Lake Buena Vista/Orlando for four nights while in town for a soccer tournament at ESPN Wide World of Sports, and it was an excellent experience overall. We booked a king-size villa with a full kitchen, and it made a long, busy trip so much easier. The kitchen was fully functional and well-equipped, which allowed us to cook meals, store leftovers, and avoid eating out for every meal. Huge plus for a tournament stay. The location is extremely convenient—just a very short, easy drive to the parks and ESPN. The resort grounds were absolutely pristine, and the villa itself was spotless and felt very new and well maintained. It was also impressively quiet; we couldn’t hear any outside noise or sounds from neighboring rooms at all. The gated entry added an extra sense of security, which we appreciated. What really stood out was the value. The quality of the resort far exceeded the price. We’ve stayed at significantly more expensive hotels that were nowhere near as nice, clean, or comfortable as this one. The only downsides were minor but worth mentioning. The resort does push vacation packages fairly hard, and being asked to strip the bed and take out the trash before departure felt a bit odd for a hotel stay (this isn’t an Airbnb). Additionally, we were told we had a “departure gift” at the front desk, waited several minutes, and were ultimately given a card for a discounted photo book, which felt underwhelming. That said, those small annoyances didn’t take away from an otherwise fantastic stay. We would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it—especially for families or anyone visiting Orlando for an extended stay or event."

Spacious villas, well maintained grounds, and a relaxing atmosphere after long park days. The villas are roomy, clean, and comfortable, with full kitchens and plenty of space to unwind. The multiple pools and amenities make it feel like a true resort, not just a place to sleep. It is also very convenient to Walt Disney World, which makes early mornings and late nights much easier. Staff has been friendly and helpful, and the property is beautifully laid out with lots of green space, walking paths, and resort activities. It is a perfect balance of fun and relaxation. If you are looking for a comfortable, well located Orlando resort with great value and space, this is an excellent choice. I will definitely be back. 6 miles from Disney, no I4!"

Kids loved the pool, but we did not really take advantage of the amenities. Great central location for Universal, Disney, Sea World. We would stay again."
