I would book it again.
The unit is very private and has a nice outdoor space for relaxing. It's very close to the main pool, gym and amenities.

Perfect stay!
Legacy villas is fabulous! This villa is so close to the main pool (busy with families), a real 25 yard lap pool, and two other small pools that were perfect for us. Quiet property, unlike large resorts, with beautiful grounds. Kitchen is well stocked. The patio has a nice sofa, electric bbq that works great, and a small table-very comfortable! Communication with property manager was excellent. We will be back!
