The patio and courtyard villas are all very similar: Open the front door into the dining or living room, kind of a wide hallway / shotgun through the living space to the lanai out back (CYV) or the back wall / bedrooms (PVs).
Compare that to the cottages and villas in Latitude Margaritaville with more variety and a better layout. I wish The Villages would incorporate some of these soaring features and floor plans instead of the very cookie-cutter model we have available to us now.
I find the amenities and d@mn near everything else better at The Villages, but the floorpans? Meh. Boring.
This link is to one of their cottages, the "Dreamsicle" I believe:

We Visited Margaritaville in Hilton Head twice and stayed there. We also stayed and visited many developments up and down the East coast in our 2 year search for a place for retirement. We never really saw one we disliked. But when we came upon The Villages we decided this was it. Just so much more to do then any other place we went. As for the floor plans, it's always a matter of preference. We picked a Woodstar model here because we loved the Walk in pantry, and the Large his and hers Closets. (Not the only reason we picked the Woodstar)
The floors plans in Margaritaville had the flex rooms which were nice. Think we made the right decision.
