Perfect location for visiting my Dad who lives in The Villages. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, beds were comfortable, room was quiet and the pool was lovely!

The room was a little dark and the air con was a little loud, but neither deterred from my overall enjoyment of the stay.

You over the waterpark and the room size was excellent

A lot of mosquitoes on the property and in the room

8.0

Location was terrific

The back looks as though it needs to be pressure cleaned the walls the chairs the mosquitoes were just all over dead and it looks like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. I think the staff needs to take a course and how to influence friends and when people they’re not friendly except for one gal, I think her name was Megan. She was in exceptiona employee on Saturday morning, but other than that and the bartender has a horrible attitude tried to even have conversation and she just was not up for it I guess.
