Looking for luxurious family-friendly accommodation close to Orlando’s theme parks, golf courses and shopping outlets? It’s not easy to find a holiday that has it all. There are plenty of great accommodation options to be found in Florida, but the hidden gem of Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas tick all the boxes…
Located in Lake Buena Vista, Sheraton Vistana Resort is near
Disney Springs and Disney’s other parks, yet has its own restaurants, bars and an abundance of activities to keep the whole family entertained.
What sets Sheraton Vistana Villas apart?
Sheraton Vistana Resort and its villas stand apart from many other accommodation choices in the area. Not only is the location extremely convenient, but it's also great value for money, considering the varied accommodation options and huge range of amenities and activities at the resort. This is particularly true when you compare it to other theme park properties. Only a few of them could match the seven pools, range of restaurants and complimentary shuttles to the parks found at Sheraton Vistana.
Your holiday will truly feel like a home away from home, with everything you need for fun in the sun. The resort is huge and as such crowd-free, yet you can always join in activities to meet people.
Something to consider generally about
villa holidays is that they provide the freedom and flexibility to do what you want in your own space. If you want to spend a family day by the pool, someone needs to grab groceries or an older family member wants to skip the theme parks, they have a homely, private place to unwind for the day.
Size and Layout
Sheraton Vistana has a variety of villas to choose from depending on the size of your group, including one- and two-bedroom villas. Each one has up to 1,025sq/ft of space, with its own fully-equipped kitchen, dining area living space and balcony in larger villas. The kitchen area comes set up with a fridge, oven, microwave and more, allowing you to spend quality time with family cooking homemade meals and relaxing around the dinner table.
With one or two bedrooms and a living area, there's also enough room that everyone can hang out together or enjoy their own space. The two-bedroom villas sleep up to eight people, with a combination of double and twin beds which are handy for kids. The beds are Sheraton's 'Sweet Sleeper' beds, which, if you haven't rested your head on one, have a reputation as being some of the comfiest in the world.
Master bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms with whirlpool tubs, while there's also a second bathroom in each villa, so no one is getting in each other's way. For entertainment, there are up to three TVs in each villa, in the living space and in each bedroom, although with all of the resort's on-site amenities within reach, you may be too busy exploring to notice.
Amenities and Activities
There is so much on offer at Sheraton Vistana Resort that you'll be hard-pressed to make time to leave. First off, the resort has seven outdoor pools and eight whirlpools, alongside slides and waterfalls perfect for both kids and adults. Next to some of the pools are daily activities such as games and dancing for kids of all ages to enjoy, with plenty of loungers where grown-ups can relax and keep an eye on them.
You'll need to stay fuelled up in the Florida sunshine, and luckily Sheraton Vistana Resort has multiple family-friendly dining options, ranging from Italian at Azzula to Zimmie's Bar and Grill, a tiki bar and the Marketplace, which is a handy deli selling snacks, drinks and groceries. Outside the resort, there are also dozens of bars and restaurants, from steakhouses and seafood shacks to Thai and sushi bars.
Activities are what really set Sheraton Vistana villas apart, particularly for kids. There are all kinds of classes for children, from arts and crafts to soft toy making. Plus, each villa area has its own small playground, and in the unlikely event of bad weather, there's an indoor arcade room too. You can also try minigolf or hire bicycles as a family, or take advantage of the tennis and basketball courts, sauna and fitness centre. Another fun option for kids – and perhaps a little respite for you – is the teen nights including live DJs.
Location
Sheraton Vistana Resort is located in an incredibly convenient spot. The property is on Vistana Centre Drive in Lake Buena Vista, Orlando. This is just a mere 10-15 minute drive from most of the theme parks, and around 25 minutes' drive from the airport. All in all, the resort is vast, so you should always allow a little extra time for getting around and exiting the property - hiring a car is highly recommended. Aside from the theme parks, the resort is also surrounded by some of Orlando's best shops, restaurants and bars, not to mention world-class golf courses.
