My sister and I had the pleasure to kick off our summer getaways at the Waterfront Inn, The Villages. A delightful experience. A very special thank you to Megan who checked us in. We give Megan 5 stars for her very friendly welcome and allowing us to check in early. Another 5 star award goes to Byron who made sure (as we enjoyed the beautiful pool area) our ice waters were icy and our Bourbon Sours delivered promptly and often . Everyone at the Waterfront Inn, hotel staff, housekeeping, front desk and bar were friendly, attentive and efficient. We were assigned Room 420. We had a fabulous view of the lake and golf course from our balcony. The room was spacious and very clean. Our only hiccup was the dinner service at Calypso. Perhaps a staffing problem that’s been corrected. Thank you again to all the wonderful people at The Waterfront Inn that made us feel special on our sister getaway. We’ve made another reservation returning in August. Looking forward to room 420! Deborah and Denise

Our room was amazing, the bed was comfortable and the pillows are absolutely fantastic. Customer service is fantastic and tended to everything we asked for. We have stayed at the Waterfront before and enjoy the location amenities and feeling special. We look forward to our next visit.

The hotel looked nice but when I got to my room there was a smell that I just couldn't figure out. The carpet was nasty....that's probably the smell. Wish I could have snt a picture with this review. The only reason I stayed here was because of the square for dancing.

It is so beautiful and it is convenient to restaurants, shops and entertainment. The staff is excellent and pleasant. The heated, salt water pool and hot tub are divine. I felt safe everywhere on the property and in the village. It was so relaxing.
