I am in the process of making reservations using SOs at SBP. I understand the Palmetto section is the newer of the two sections. Can someone tell me which buildings are in that Palmetto section? I understand those villas are slightly larger than the other section (Plantation)? Thanks for your help!
Wyndham Founder; Disney OKW & SSR; Marriott's Willow Ridge, Shadow Ridge and Grand Chateau; Val Chatelle, Pines at Meadow Ridge and Twin Rivers in CO; Hono Koa OF (3); SBR(LOTS), SDO a few); WKORV-OFC-4 and Westin Desert Willow.
I don't know if they are larger. Our daughter stayed in a Palmetto, we stayed in Plantation last June, and the Palmetto living and kitchen didn't seem as big. But maybe they are very similar in size.
I would be surprised it the newer section was larger. In all of the Vistana properties I have stayed at, (including SBP) the idea has always been to increase density (decrease unit size, increase building size) to increase profitability. I would be surprised to hear that newer sections would actually be larger than older sections, but I enjoy a good surprise!
Our one stay at SBP was in Plantation, and the units reminded us very much of Cascades or Lakes at SVR. I would be hard pressed to tell the difference if someone dropped my in there blindfolded.
Per the description on Vistana
2 BR lock off Palmetto 1595 sq ft
2 BR lock off Plantation 1335 sq ft
2 BR dedicated Palmetto 1215 sq ft
2 BR dedicated Plantation 1030 sq ft
At this point it doesn't matter that Palmetto is newer, the question is when were the various villas refurbished.
