Just booked Marriott Sabal Palms

[SmithOp]

We got home last Friday and I forgot to update this post. We really liked Sabal Palms! It's an easy walk to the World Center pool. We loved the laser show every night.



My only complaint is that they wouldn't let my 7 year-old on the waterslide even though she is over 48". They "measured" her twice and said she was a hair too short. Uh, she was 48.5" at the doctor months ago with no shoes on and I can guarantee you she didn't shrink Other than that, we had a really good time and would stay there again for sure. We really liked the units. The only update I think they could make is to lose the mirrored wall..that makes the place look more dated than it really is:rofl:

Better safe than sorry!

How did Sabal compare to Lakeshore? We are looking at Spring break options (don't own marriott but trade in II)-Lakeshore seems hard to trade into so if something pops up should I grab it?
FWIW-we have stayed at nearly all the Marriott properties over the years (although it has been quite awhile since Imperial has shown as a possible trade). We stayed Grande Vista 2014 and Sabal 2015. Haven't stayed at Royal since late 1990's but that was our "go to" trade in. Loved both of the recent stays-but with older kids Sabal seemed better suited to our needs. MWC pool was awesome-spent an entire resort day there. However have heard soooo much about Lakeshore that I am really wanting to stay there!

We love Lakeshore so that's always my first choice. That said, I haven't seen it come up much lately. We really liked Sabal Palms a lot, and I'd say that it will be a good 2nd to Lakeshore for us if we can't get Lakeshore when we are looking for it. We all say we'd go back to Sabal Palms for sure. We really enjoyed the MWC pool and especially the night time laser show every night.
