Convenient and comfortable
The facility was convenient to our activities for the time we were there. The facility was clean and seemed to be in good repair. However, it was old and dated. Low rise, round, high water use toilets went out 30 years ago. Faux granite and laminate counters are likewise out of date and in the case of the Villages, somewhat creepy. If you need a hotel near Emerald Bay, it is likely the best alternative other than driving into Tyler. to be hit with a timeshare spiel, first at the facility and later in a phone call was slimy.
No, I do not recommend this property.

Don’t waste your money
We made the best of the not ideal situation. The two room villa was clean but the patio and patio furniture was covered in dirt, cobwebs and bird droppings. There was a huge cobwebs blocking over half of the front door. The prices being charged, you would think pest control could be afforded to prevent the cobwebs and some extra cleaning to make patio usable. Kudos to the marketing group for making it appear you have water front access. There is only one unit on the water and it is reserved for “owners.” We had to drive over a mile to access anything in the resort. The put-put course had the “greens” torn and frayed in several spots on almost every hole making it almost impossible to play. I was convinced to sit in on their “90 minute presentation based on my interest level” and finally ask for my refund money after 2
No, I do not recommend this property.

Not clean
Very dirty hotel. We were not expecting this from a family friendly hotel. We enjoyed the hotel amenities, but couldn't get over the filth in our room. The shower curtain in our room was covered in mold. There was also mold along the side of the bath tub. Previous persons hair in shower. The base boards were filthy making me unable to let the baby crawl on the floor. The headboard was covered in dust making it impossible to lean against it and feed the baby. We did enjoy mini golf, the pool and the board games but the hotel room being this dirty makes us never want to return.
No, I do not recommend this property.

Decent weekend getaway for the kids
Overall the hotel is nice. The grounds seem to be slightly neglected and the staff seemed to be very stressed maybe understaffed and no desire to go above and beyond for any guests. The waterpark is nice if you use discounts otherwise its overpriced. Cell service is horrible and the WIFI is very spotty. The extra activities available are nice but they shut down some of the activities earlier than the times posted and no one was available to answer questions regarding the activities.
Yes, I recommend this property.

Nice rooms and comfortable beds
The Villages is a nice place to go for a family getaway. They have a lot of things for the family to do. The water park is fun for all kids ages. This is a great place to go and you do not have to spend a lot of money.
Yes, I recommend this property.

Not terrible for the price
We had to wait a while to check in because our room wasn't cleaned yet. When we were allowed to go, it still had sacks of laundry and trash piled in front of the door. Carpets were stained. Didn't feel very clean. Room was a nice size and appointed well (although dated). The pools were average. The mini golf turf was in pretty bad shape. Water Park access costs extra. It was in a nice location and the grounds were overall in good shape. For the money, it wasn't a bad place. I have stayed at other Holiday Inn Vacation places that were considerably nicer though.
