Vistana Resort vs. Villas

Hi All:

The wife and I planning a trip to Orlando. I'm having a hard time deciding between Vistana Resort vs. the Villas. Are there any major differences between the two. We are mid 30s, no kids. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

We prefer SVV because the units are newer.

i prefer SVR since it is closer to disney (by a little) and has been completely renovated a few years ago.

from what i've heard, i would not mind trying SVV at all for a trip focused more on sea world/universal.

i don't think there is a bad choice.

edited to add: here are some pics from my stay in the lakes section at SVR in may 2013:

We've stayed at both and now own at SVR. There is not a lot of difference in the two resorts quality wise. Fit, finish and luxury are pretty much equal. SVR is (as mentioned) closer to Disney by maybe 3-5 minutes. SVR is probably twice the size and has more amenities as a result (more pools, restaurants, bars, etc), but SVV is no slouch either. The one thing we prefer is that SVR has several older sections with lower rise (2-3 story) buildings. The buildings are well spread out, and you are usually parking at your door. Our family likes this lower density arrangement over the newer sections with 4-5 story buildings, elevators, and tighter parking. I know we go against the grain on this though, as I often see complaints about walking up a flight or two of stairs, or walking a block or two to the pools. As mentioned above though, these old buildings are "recently" renovated (2-3 years now), so you wouldn't really know the shell was built in the 70's or 80's.
