Pros: Cascades condo was nice for the $$ only if you get the timeshare deal
Cons: Most everything else
The Bottom Line: Too many other great places to stay. Go elsewhere.

| klysik1's Full Review: Sheraton's Vistana Villages on International Drive |
We took the offer of $169/4 nights to listen to the timeshare overview. For the price it was worth it but I wouldn't have paid too much more. The reception center was welcoming upon checking in w/balloons for the kids and music. We stayed in the Cascades which I am told is the most updated of condos..and by the looks of it I definately would not have wanted to stay in any others! Back to the Cascades. 4th floor overlooking the fountains which was nice. We entered the condo to find the cleaning peoples dirty rags all over the floor. When I called housekeeping I was told that the refridgerator had flooded and the maintenance people must have left the rags. Ok, problem solved. When we booked, we were promised twice that the shuttles to the parks were complimentary...they are NOT! They are $8/pp round trip! BUT, here is a hint: the driver NEVER collected tickets and just told us to not bother purchasing them! ok, so we didnt. Definately don't go w/out a car though. Food: we would rate the restaurants at the Sheraton a 4 out of 10. I would have opted for McDonalds had it been within walking distance. Careful of the taxis if you need them. The ones that the hotel will call don't have meters and the prices are ridiculous and seem to change even though it is the same cab company! Customer service at hotel: 5 out of 10. Whenever we would call the front desk they would put us on hold and forget to pick up. No offense but if you are looking for a good "quality" family oriented type of place for your family, I would be safe in saying pay the extra $$ and stay at Disney. Lots of "interesting" characters walking around the Sheraton Vistana Village. A few times we saw the police and ambulances coming into the gates.
