Our stay was so much fun . Will definitely go back . A lil pricey but so well worth it . Everything was perfect . We enjoyed the pool with the kid pool the most . The water park was a lot of fun too . There was putt we enjoyed we enjoyed too and at night we just relaxed and watched movies and played board games !was a perfect lil vacation. We just live 20 min away .

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

Worst experience ever

The booking ,the room , the staff not doing anything about it , the amenities it was all bad, I had to look for stuff to do outside the resort , of how misleading the website is , there was also a roach in my room !!

Nice Place

4.5 stars Check in needs to be earlier, Check out later. More places to eat would be great! Room we stayed in was very clean and well kept. I would recommend this stay for Families with children.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Family get together

I planned this getaway for our family since our daughter was getting married in the area. We could have stayed at hotels in the chain closer to the venue but it also gave my wife and I a chance to use our week of vacation with the club resort for the first time since we have had it. To be honest the experience was ok but could have been much better. Like I said before now that I know the place I think we could have been better served if we would have stayed on the lake side and played in the lake.
