Probably like 3:00 and check out like at 10:00. Sorry probably not a help, but be prepared to just go to the pool or elsewhere because it is highly unlikely your room will be ready. We own there and while I havent been in several years (Would love to dump it actually since we go to Lakeshore) the past 3x I went we had to wait a while for it to be ready. This was after check in time.

I thought all (or most) Marriott resorts are 4pm check-in and 10am check-out.

official check in is 4pm but I have been able to check in as early as noon at G. Vista. It is a huge property and so there will often be rooms available. If you call ahead and request early check in you may get it. If it is really important talk to one of the people at rooms control and they will try to block you into a room that is vacant the night before.
LOVE G.vista

Thats nice but don't count on it or demand it at the front desk. 4PM or later should be the expectation.

Just got back from there -

The resort was packed!

So I'd suggest tempering my hopes of early check-in / late check-out...

Have fun!

Checkin is definitely 4 p.m. and checkout is 10 a.m. I usually get in early, but I'm a multi-week owner there - not sure if that has anything to do with it. At other resorts we've traded into, I never get in early, not even by a minute.
