The Villages Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The sky is so blue, the grass so green, and the weather is perfect with no humidity. This area is one to sit outside and enjoy the weather with a cup of tea or coffee. It's perfect to watch the sun set and the geese or ducks swimming in the lake. And, I suppose, if you're up for it -- the golf course is pretty good too.

The room was clean. The drain in the shower was clear, which I often check for. The staff were lovely. The only small thing that would be amazing is brighter lights in the bathroom. I would be happy staying here again! The location is very convenient too!
