| | I voted 'Games Room' only because we usually have a bus and can't get it in the garage! Also having 3 children (albeit a bit young at the moment) I can see the future potential of having a games room. Although I do agree with other comments about it gets too hot in the garage so would need some kind of air/con. Not sure at the moment I would be willing to pay extra for a games room but if it was a toss up between like for like villas, the games room would be the deciding factor and that's the one we would book! | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| when we were looking to book those with a games room definately scored a plus point for us, along with ADSL (High Speed Internet) lets start a new poll
strange really as it never bothered me in the past and woul dof parked the car in the garage
but would be happy letting the kids run round the garage converted to a games room, and somewhere else for them to play in the house
as opposed to letting them run round a garage with a car in it !! | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

We were over just after hurricane Charlie ripped through Florida and got caught there and had to endure the slow moving hurricane Francis ... all the pool furniture and hire car and everything else we could lift from outside went in the garage and we survived with almost no damage ... give me the garage anytime.

| we converted the garage, into a games room/gym still leaving the garage doors so that it could be used as a garage if required, but it does have nice tiles on the floor so I am hoping no one places the car in there!
The kids/grandchildren love it and we get peace

| | This is my very first post. I have been reading for days and have already booked my villa, after spending 5 months reviewing what seems like thousands. I "wanted" a real game room, which meant a room that was part of the house not a converted garage. I accepted the converted garages at first into the spreadsheet i had created, and then threw them out as i found many homes that had the real game rooms. In the end, the home we will be in has the converted game room, because it offered all my picky list of wants, so that is where I compromised. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| we have a fuzzball table in the house [and PS2 and Pc etc] and an indoor/outdoor Table tennis table which is stored in the garage, but can be taken onto the pool deck etc if required. Our garage is used because it is a remote entry one - great if you get a sudden downpour :)so I like to offer the best of both- I think the biggest [most welcome improvement] was our upgrade to luxury cable -as it has all the main US channels, but also Sky sports news and fox soccer channel - my teenage son loves it!

| we voted games room as we have many children and spend quite a few days relaxing at the villa, we hardly see the kids between the pool, ps2 and foosball etc, hence we get more relaxing done too  | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| We definitely opt for a villa with a games room. Like TrishT we spend days at the villa chilling out and this just gives us all (parents and 19, 18 & 8 siblings) something to alternate between the pool and PS games. Makes that villa a bit more special than they already are
