My husband and I only live a few hours away, and did not want to do theme parks but have a relaxing vacation without the hassle of airports. I was a little weary of the resort based on the mixed reviews, however upon arrival it all dissapeared. WOW! is all I can say upon entry into our room. Note it... more

Our visit to the Grand Vista was amazing. The 2bdrm, 2 bath accommodation was immaculate, fully equipped, relaxing, spacious, and beautiful! We were in the main reception building, and our room overlooked the main pool. Our teens and pre teens loved the pools, the Itrolly to downtown, and "Winning!" the Iron Chef Challenge at the activity center. We did not... more

We stayed here for Christmas. The staff was so extremely helpful and the resort was BEAUTIFUL. Tia the Bartender was fabulous! The only complaint I would have is that the pull out sofa in the room needs desperately to be replaced. Would go back again and again! more

My boyfriend works for Marriott so we got an employee discount. I would like to note that we stayed here one other time and had no problems however this time was disappointing. We live in Jacksonville and decided to take a last minute trip to Disney. We were only staying one night. First of all check in took about 15... more

However, the staff in the "Pro Shop" acted as if they were doing me a favor while waitng on me and most should attend "Charm School" to understand customer service. Of course they give you the... more

We were surprised at the lack of service from the front desk and the deli - no one would answer pnones. People were friendly but just wouldn't answer the phone - it would ring at least 20 times at the front desk - I hung up and tried again. Bathrooms were not clean, floors were sticky, and dishwasher didn't clean... more

We stayed at the Mariott grande Vista from Dec 25th to Jan 2nd. We arrived late and the front desk only had a few available rooms. I had read on previoius postings to ask for a newer building, so I insisted and was given a room in building 90. We were on the main floor. We put our bags in... more

There is zero and I mean ZERO sound proofing in this resort so unless you want to feel as if you're sharing a room with strangers do not stay here! I moved rooms after my second night here because the noise level was unreal. You can literally hear every word people say in the room next to you...and their screaming... more

We stayed at Grande Vista in a 2 bedroom villa with our two kids and another family of four. The villa was very comfortable even with 8 of us in it. The fact that it had a washer and dryer in the villa was wonderful, especialyl since it rained several of the days that we were there and the kids... more
