Paradise does have small rooms, but large grounds, very nice to get away from the crush yet still be in town
Palms, very nice rooms nice location, claustrophobic grounds
Xanadu, my all time favorite, excellant grounds and onsite staff, but for someone who needs a lot of "other" services, maybe too far from town...
Its all in what you need, want.
We have stayed at 10 different places, liked them all. BUT we have only returned to White Sands, Xanadu and Paradise Villas
We select where we stay based on what we want for that trip, IE PARTY, relax, pretend we live there etc etc
