I have been to The Brownwood several times for company dinners, but recently had my first…read moreovernight. The events area is beautifully decorated and large enough to host a couple hundred people. The food is "okay" for the events. The service is hit or miss, I saw the wait staff serving after-dinner coffee to some tables but they never even came to our table to offer. The room was clean and simple. I appreciate that there is no carpet, but there is a rug under the bed for some softness. The room was equipped with an ironing board and an iron which I was pleasantly surprised to find. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and I appreciated that the a/c was able to be adjusted. The in-room coffee maker was not clean, and it did not seem sanitary enough to use. Luckily they have free coffee in the lobby, which I only found as I saw other people getting some. The check-in team did not mention the coffee bar when I checked in even though I inquired about breakfast. Breakfast is served from 7-11, they have continental and an omelet station where you can choose from menu options. The dining area was stiflingly hot, though. The staff I encountered were all pleasant and professional, and the hotel is beautifully decorated. It's a lovely events space, and overall I would recommend.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful and so well kept…read more The decor is ranch / lodge style but it was so incredibly clean and a very nice hotel for the price. I was here for work but I would gladly return if I was on a leisure trip (someday maybe). The room was large and well designed. It felt like a luxury hotel or what one would expect. My view was of the roof but that is okay, it was going to rain anyways. The bathroom was quite big and I liked the decor making a statement even in the can. There were antler or branch like accents on the lights on the mirrors that I still remember. There was a nice rainfall showerhead. The bed was great. A gentleman notices a nice bed fellas. The breakfast was interesting in that it was made-to-order but also a buffet so some things you waited and then others you grabbed. It did take a bit of time for the food to get made and you order off of a menu. Even though it is all you can eat, it seemed like a one and done sort of deal but regardless I left with a full belly so that is great. The staff was helpful with an issue I had with a credit card and there were plenty of people around which i figured considering the area and time of the year it would be dead but it wasn't. There is a Wolfgang Puck rest on site that was very good and I will write a separate review. I am a fan!

I like everything about this theatre. Located on the southern side of the Villages, it is easy for…read moreme to get to and is always in too shape. Ticket prices seem a little less here than other places. When you walk in, it is decorated in a western style. The concessions are on the left and the restrooms on the right. Plenty of seating located in the lobby for relaxing before going in your theatre. Once in, there are restroom in this area, too. The actual theatre is quite nice. Soft, rocker seats. The arms between seats can lift out of the way if you prefer. The staff is very good about keeping the theatre clean between movies. For the money, this is a best bet for anyone.

As always, the World Equestrian Center itself was beautiful. The pool area was immaculate, the restrooms were clean and well stocked, and the overall facility lived up to the high standard we've come to expect. Unfortunately, our experience at the Horse to Water pool bar was disappointing. It was a slower day, with only a handful of other guests around, so the bar was far from busy. When we approached, another couple was also waiting. The four of us stood there for several minutes looking around because, from the customer side of the bar, all we could see were soda machines. The shelves and glass door refrigerators appeared empty, so we genuinely weren't sure if alcoholic beverages were even served there. When the bartender came over, she didn't greet us or smile, and her demeanor immediately made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. We greeted her first, despite the fact that we had been patiently waiting with smiles on our faces. The other guests asked what kinds of drinks were available, and her response was simply, "Regular drinks." The four of us looked at each other, confused, since there wasn't any visible alcohol behind the bar. My friend then asked if she could make a vodka seltzer with lime, and the bartender said yes before walking off to retrieve liquor bottles that were stored out of sight. To be clear, the drink itself was perfectly fine. Our disappointment had nothing to do with the quality of the beverage. It was entirely the customer service. A simple smile, friendly greeting, or willingness to answer questions would have made all the difference. For a destination that prides itself on being an award winning destination with exceptional amenities, the customer service at the Horse to Water pool bar fell well below expectations. During this particular visit, we left feeling more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests.

The host is very sweet and very communicative. They are a wedding venue as well and it is soo cute honestly! If planning to stay over night, I recommend to plan for it like if you were camping.

As is SummerGlen, an established 1200+ home retirement community. This party/wedding venue property is tucked in between Highway 75 and residences across from their upper fence. Excessive decibel levels from evening celebrations can be incredibly annoying to many homeowners. Enchanted Oaks owners have been informed of the noise disturbances and apparently, cannot monitor volume levels from the music. While your wedding might indeed be beautiful, remember that folks across the fence can easily view the trailers and buildings and we often hear every note of your play list! Perhaps if the DJs were reminded to keep decibels down, we all could be happy. And despite this complaint, we do wish every couple a lifetime of happiness.

I guess when business is booming you can refuse whomever you want but I don't think businesses is booming here. Maybe consider being a bit more welcoming and mirror nearly every other establishment everywhere that allows well behaved animals and their pets.

There is also a small boardwalk that goes out over the water and a fire pit with chairs.
