Been to SS three times, including this past weekend during Hurricane Frances! I love it. It's new, and it accommodates everyone in the family, no matter what the age. My "other half" always books a one-bedroom suite, which is perfect because it allows my 5-year old son to fall asleep on the roll-out loveseat in the main area, and we shut the doors and indulge in a late-night hot tub after a trip to Basin! You can bring your own food, travel plans permitting, and you can virtually buy anything in SS Artist's Pallette, which is open quite late if you arrive in the evening. The pool areas are conveniently located, and there is a full-service spa (never been, but took a tour - very nice) and gym, which is sizeable. A game room for the kids is a big hit. The washer/dryer units are great, but only in the one bedroom suites and larger. There are laundry facilities for the other rooms. Get a room overlooking Pleasure Island and enjoy New Years from your balcony. The rooms are elegant, nicely appointed with crown moulding and granite countertops in baths and kitchen area. I have no complaints. If I had to dig something up which is a downside, I'd have to say that it's very spread out, so you either have to take an internal bus or commit to walking, which is a given, considering that's all one does when one comes to DW! I hope this helps!
