anyone going to be at SVV 12/21-12/25? we will be there.
We will be there in March, and can't wait! Can you please let us know if the new pool area is open and what ever else is going on at the resort?
Thanks, Sue
just got back from SVV,we stayed in St Augustine section. the units are really beautiful. flat screen tv's, bose stereo, granite counter tops, large whirlpool and very large shower 2 separate sinks in the bathroom.
the kitchen island is huge and has the sink and DW in it. there is a booth type chair on the wall side of the dining room table plus chairs on the other 3 sides.
the pirate pool is supposed to be opening sometime in the beginning of 2010. it looks finished. the kids will love it.
went to an "owners update" because the guy who signs you up told me that there will be changes in the stapoints for owners. so i went and was again misled. told the guy that i have no need to buy anything and apologized for wasting his time. we had a free breakfast, got 5000 starpoints and we were out of there in less than an hour.
had a great time.
Have a wonderful time! Give us the scoop when you get back!We are going to SVV tomorrow. It sounds like we will probably be in St. Augustine. Should be a fun week!

Is it true you got only 5000 starpoints? Is it normal? If I remember correctly, I had much better starpoints offer for Lagunamar presentation when I visited there last time?
Other than that, thank you for your info!!
I've never been SVV before, but will be there soon!
What is causing the delay in opening the new pool area? Those of you that have stayed in the new St.Augustine section did you request to be there, and if so how far ahead of your arrival. We are going in March and I would like to stay in the new section, Do I call the front desk directly to request or should I call owner services? I sure hope the new pool is open when we get there.

So, where is the Vistana Villages restaurant going to be located? And what happens to the current deli?
We own at SVV, have only been there once (2004). We attended the Owner's Update that year and I remember telling them that I thought the resort could use a full service restaurant. I was told that wasn't in the cards for SVV.
Here we are six years later, there's still no sit down restaurant, but at least it's under consideration.
Maybe when the economy comes back....

My understanding from a number of conversations over the last year is that the plan was to move the sales center to the top of the main St Augustine building and renovate the current sales center space, likely to include more dining and fitness facilities. However, the story keeps changing (including now the possibility that the move of the sales center will not happen) and it's anyone's guess what the final configuration will be. I'm not sure that SVO thinks it can make enough money with an expanded restaurant facility to make the renovation worthwhile. We'll just have to wait a couple of years and see what happens.
