You’ll get so many different opinions! I like pool better at Riverside! Plus the fact that they have quiet pools too if you want to get away from the loud afternoon pool party lol.
The Royal rooms in Oak Manor are pretty centrally located. We had a garden view room facing the courtyard fountain, it was right by the foot bridge so an easy walk over to main buildings, also not far from main pool, and next to quiet pool.
The Royal Rooms are super cute, but rooms in FQ are brand new! Just refurbed. I’m not sure if all FQ is finished yet, you can go on FQ thread to find out.
I like both resorts, but Riverside just a bit more. Love that all the mansions are along the river. So nice coming out of building and river is right there. Most of FQ buildings are set back from the river and you never see it unless you purposely go there. I won’t pay for River View! When we stayed at FQ we had a room in building 4 right next to main building and bus stop.
