Is there any reason to book the Vacation Club as opposed to the Resort? Same location and same number of points needed and from what I can tell the amenities are the same - I'm lifetime plat and it appears breakfast will be included for us. Anything to consider.....difference in resort fees (if any), etc?

Bonus question - The Sheraton has a property close by at the same approximate point redemption - if anyone has any knowledge of that and could offer an opinion on it as an alternative I'd appreciate the input.



I've searched the forums and have a basic idea of the properties but looking for any advice to finalize the selection. Thanks.
