These resorts are one of my (and my family's) favorites. They have a relaxed atmosphere with plenty to enjoy.

Perhaps the best thing about theses resorts is the pool which they share. The pool is over an acre in size and is a free form, sand bottom pool with rocks, waterfalls, and a big slides. That's why it gets a five on my scale. In addition, each of the resorts has a smaller quiet pool.

In addition to the pool, the resort offers watercraft rentals, volleyball, an arcade, a workout room, and a full-service salon (yes, I сказал(-а) salon) as well as a few lounges. It's also within walking distance to all the fun of the Boardwalk.

The carry out Еда tends to be only so-so compared with the Еда at other resorts. Ты have two options here: Hurricane Hannah's located outside the pool and пляж, пляжный Club Marketplace, located in the пляж, пляжный Club Resort near the entrance to the villas. пляж, пляжный Club Marketplace is my favorite. However, they only offer Sandwiches, soups, and flat хлеб пицца (no french fries) so if Ты have kids, Hurricane Hannah's is a better option, though the Еда there is only mediocre at best.

As far as the sit down restaurants go, this resort rules. I like all three of their sit down places. Yachtsman Steakhouse, located in the Yacht Club, is expensive, but worth it. They have incredible стейк there, as well as other tempting options. пляж, пляжный Club is the Главная to Beaches and Cream, a 50's-style ice cream parlor with great Еда at lower prices (if Ты go there, ask about the кухня sink). The other пляж, пляжный Club Restaurant, Cape May Cafe, is an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet with seafood. That's right, so as much snow crab, clams, mussels, anything they have there. For the price, it's a great bargain, and the Еда is good.

The great thing about these resorts is the proximity to the parks. Epcot is a short walk away, and Hollywood Studios is a walk или лодка ride away.

Generally, this tends to be a еще adult type resort, though kids will Любовь the pool.

The difference between the Yacht and пляж, пляжный Club resorts is mainly location and decoration. The Yacht Club is еще elegant and is a white building. The пляж, пляжный Club is еще laid back and is a blue building. Yacht Club tends to be less expensive, but is slightly farther away from Epcot. The room sizes are about the same. The Villas is a Дисней Vacation Club spot and offers four room sizes: Studio, One Bedroom, Two Bedroom, and Three Bedroom. The studio is small in comparison to the rooms at the Yacht and пляж, пляжный Club, but features a Kitchenette,which is useful. The one bedroom has a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom, though it feels small in comparison to other DVC resorts. The Two and three bedrooms each feature an extra bedroom.

I should be clear: the main reason for staying here is the pool. If Ты don't come during the summer, this is not worth the price. But if Ты still like the location, consider staying at the Boardwalk instead.
