Interesting. Having never stayed at any of them, I don't have much to go on. I looked up some pics though. Judging from those, Saratoga is not to my liking, OKW looks like something right off of my local beach, and BCV is nice. I like the architecture of BCV... but I like the looks of the condo-style OKW... very much something I'm used to, and love.

So I said OKW.

Erin · 12-30-2005

I haven't stayed at any of them, either, but I would LOVE to stay at the BCV. They look perfect.

TikiBird · 12-30-2005

I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Beach Club.

bigpoppapump1 · 12-30-2005

I've stayed at all three and I like OKW the best. The rooms are soooo much larger, and it doesn't feel like just another hotel.

tiggerfan74 · 12-30-2005

I have never stayed at any of them. All 3 are on my list, but OKW is first, then BCV, then SS.

BuzzLightyear · 12-31-2005

Beach Club is awesome!!

JEANY031 · 12-31-2005

i voted the old key west because it is a cool place to stay.

iluvwdw · 12-31-2005

I am DEFINITELY not among the majority when I say I was not happy when I stayed at OKW!!! Maybe it was my actual room, because the location of my villa couldn't be beat. But we had a bug problem and something wrong with our shower that was not addressed the three nights we were there. I would have to vote for BCV, because that is in my top 2 of places to stay in December 2006!

**Dana** · 12-31-2005

I went with OKW since I am staying there in October. It's the one that appealed to me the most.

skwak · 12-31-2005

We went with BCV although we like all three of these.

bumble · 01-01-2006

I have never been to any of these, but I would pick BCV first :)

karliebug · 01-02-2006

I have never been able to stay at any of these and probably won't ever be able to. (Too rich for my blood.) That being said, I picked BCV. I love the look of it and the pool looks so cool,too.

BEACH CLUB

We're stayed at all three and it isn't even a contest - Old Key West. It's interesting that people who haven't stayed at any almost unanimously vote for BCV. Looks can be deceiving. Visually, and location-wise, BCV should win - but having now stayed at all the DVC properties at WDW, BCV would be rated last by me. Our suite looked older than any villa we've had anywhere else. The rug was unravelling. There were chips out of the countertop - it was obvious that the materials used here were not of the same quality as OKW. And the mousekeeping left something to be desired. And, of course, you can't even compare the room sizes. OKW also has the advantage of close parking - no hiking from parking lot. BVC wins on the pool - but, personally, we're not really pool people. Saratoga Springs is a beautiful resort, but the villas are even smaller, and it's too far from all the parks. If I wanted to be closer to Epcot, I'd choose Boardwalk over BVC.
