Villages Resort at Lake PalestineRental Guest Reviews

Nice room

The 2 bedroom had plenty of room for 4 adults and a child. The bathroom was very spacious. The activities at the resort were great.

Safety concerns

These units have a huge safety issue. The second bedroom has no emergency entry. Our 10 year old son locked himself out of the bedroom and there was no way back in. Security had to drill through the lock in order to gain access to the room. Our son is a diabetic and his insulin was in that room. If he had had an issue, it could have been life threatening and I would have had to break down the door. This needs to be addressed before someone is seriously hurt! When we arrived, there was a bag outside the door with towels and dishes. Apparently this was supposed to be put away in the unit however it was just left by the door. The units themselves were clean and up to date. The master bathroom door wouldn't close as the lock was stuck. The hot tub is not heated very well. It was too cold for us to use in the cold weather. Bring your own toilet paper. What they use could not be cheaper.

Very relaxing

we had a one-night stay. Arrived late on a rainy day and it rained throughout our stay. Unfortunately, I had to book this way ahead and there was no escape from that, other than to cancel it. Having said that, the Presidential Suites are nice, spacious, fully equipped for a long stay and have a beautiful view of Lake Palestine, besides being next to the Marina. On a good day, if you are the lake recreation type person, this is the place to be for a reasonable price. Just come here with a book and a life vest and relax.

Unexpected Holiday Inn on the Lake

My wife and I were attending a conference at Pine Cove Christian Camp near Tyler, TX. Upon arrival we found out that our rooms were actually at the Holiday Inn Club Vacation just down the road. We were unexpectedly surprised! Perfectly located on the lake and near Pine Cove. Miniature golf, swimming pool, hot tub and much more already included in the cost. There is also an indoor water park available with discounted tickets. Plenty of walking space. Rooms are spacious, especially the multi-bedroom lodges. Spire Elite benefits were eventually received (although I expected a few more perks). Looking forward to bringing my family back for a full weekend!

Love the waterpark, room could improve

First off, over all excellent overall experience. The negatives will probably seem like I'm being picky. The kids loved the waterpark! It was 45 degrees Fahrenheit outside, but they kept it at a nice 75 inside the waterpark. Lots of water activities to keep the kids occupied for gours. There are also a lot of other activities: basketball, tennis, horse riding, swimming, paddle boating, fishing, golf, mini golf, movie theater, karaoke, pool, board games, and an arcade. On site dining is kind of limited. They have pizza, subway, and a harbor grille that is more like a small diner. The nearby city of Tyler has more and better options. The staff was very nice and fun loving. They seem to like their customers and their coworkers. The room was nice, but there were 2 issues. The nice big jet tub only had half of the jets working. The televisions had the capability to access netflix and amazon, but for some reason they were disabled. Otherwise, the room had all the amenities of home.

Cute place, great experience

This was a nice, cozy place to stay. I only wish we would've had more time to explore the resort amenities more!

Not Impressed

I was not impressed with the property. It was rundown and not to our standards.

Pool and water park

Management should have turned the heat on in the pools and water park even the staff had coats on

Na

Naservice and room was great tour and resort was extremely long

Peaceful and beautiful!!!!!!!

We were there for a wedding, unfortunately we picked a time when the indoor fun pool was in closed for its annual work. We still enjoyed this place immensely. We will be back as we have family that lives on the other side of the lake. It was great customer service, staff, food and everyone who was there during our stay which was from the 11th through the 14th of October was always smiling and friendly. Tons for the kids to do and the place was immaculate and we loved the beds, the views and can't say enough about it.
