I have a difficult response in that I wouldn't say our vacation was "ruined" by anything that happened here - we had a great vacation overall - but, that said, I probably wouldn't stay here again.
We stayed in a townhome and a couple of our issues relate specifically to those. The pool homes may not have some of the same issues.
After previous stays in quieter resorts, I found this community tended to attract a younger demographic that leaned towards more drinking and later nights. Towards the end of the evening, the pool was overrun with 20-somethings partying it up and our next-door "neighbors" kept us awake late several nights drinking and talking very loudly on their patio.
I also did not like the "set-up" of the townhouse side of the community - with the driveways out back. This was annoying when loading and unloading luggage and groceries and that one person always had to go out the front to lock up.
We did really enjoy the pool, especially the lazy river and the home itself was beautifully decorated.
As for the location, that is another reason we probably wouldn't stay here again - while we did not go to any WDW parks while we were there, we did visit property a couple of times (Disney Springs, Polynesian Resort) and we did head towards International Drive and downtown Orlando a few times. My husband NEVER got used to the location and HATED the driving. We have stayed more on the east side of Kissimmee in the past and would probably look to go back to that area again. We are interested in trying out Storey Lake resort next time we are looking for a pool home or townhome.
I can't really specifically recommend any developments other than Lake Berkley as that is the only one we have actually stayed in. But, I do have friends that speak highly of Terra Verde, Encantada and Windsor Hills.
