Villages Resort at Lake PalestineRental Guest Reviews

First Time to stay at a Holiday Inn Resort

Great family place to stay. Two bedroom, two baths, works great for larger group stays. Bit pricey. Obvious room had previously been a smoking room (smell-wise) but it was clean and had a WELL stocked kitchen! Staff could not tell us how to retrieve messages from the room phone (made us glad it wasn't a more important/difficult question!). Late nite noise complaint was handled quickly by staff/security. Over all a wonderful weekend!

Vacation

Nice grounds we were missing sheets in room for bed and it was late when we got in so not sure if they would have provided them. Front desk staff not so friendly. There for a reunion in a different town so we didn’t use facilities on grounds. Bed was awesome pillows were great!

Good visit for the water park, otherwise "meh"

The indoor water park is great, even if it's searing hot outside. Also the pool at the beach club is nice. Other 2 pools are nothing special. One is just a plain rectangle and the other is a rectangle with a splash-pad-type sprayer. Room itself is a tired old apartment, despite efforts to lightly remodel it. Activity center is just a big room with tables where you can check out board games or eat (Subway sandwiches or pizza/pasta). There's an arcade but it's not free-play. The playground equipment is for bigger kids, I'm going to guess ages 6 . As long as you're not paying much for the room, it's probably worth visiting for the water park. Don't forget to bring your own towels....there are no towels available at the water park or pools.

Horrible

We Drove in from Dallas. The line to check in was out the door. One gentlemen was turned away even though he booked 2 months prior. This was our 2nd stay. So I knew I would be bullied into coming to a presentation. Once at counter I was told our room was not ready and they gave me 50$ on our room card.to get.food until it waa ready. I was correct about having to.talk to.Cody. I agreed so that we could get into our unit as we where tired. During the night my brother in law totaled/ rolled his.truck on his way to the villages( my family members also had a cabin). We all left and went to hospital in Palestine and where not even on site for presentation. Before leaving.Sunday morning we attempted to purchase breakfast and the 50 was no longer on oir card. Upon check out I was told it was taken for a no show for presentation. I think that is just unethical and not.fair at all. We pay to much money for more money to be taken from us. We will.never spend another penny here. It is sad as our family.nornally attends every 4th of July week.

it's better in person!

After reading tons of reviews I was skeptical. But let me tell you....it is amazing! Clean, gorgeous and they are SO accommodating! The rooms were spotless, roomy and the jacuzzi tub worked like a dream. We will make this a place we come regularly.

Good times with small kids

Good times with small kids. Have kids under 12. There is plenty of things to do. The water park is an added cost and is a bit pricey but very fun and convenient.

Stay

It was a good stay comfortable and peaceful. I really don't think it's necessary to write 50 words my first sentence sums up everything and how I feel

Great stay

Very nice place in the woods. Good service and good amenities. Would stay again.

Family Vaca

Place offers kid friendly activities. I just wish the lake activities were closer and to our lodging.

Activities and front desk service

Front desk explained all the activities and facilities we can use. I didn’t realize how much we could do. The Heated pool was the best feature and the waterpark was perfect for the kids to have a break from the pool and lake. Perfect
