Villages Resort at Lake PalestineRental Guest Reviews

Spider webs and uncomfortable bed

I recently stayed with my husband, and unfortunately, it fell far below our expectations. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the sight of spider webs everywhere, which set a very unwelcoming tone for our visit. The cleanliness of the hotel was certainly lacking, making the overall experience feel quite uncomfortable. The bed was particularly problematic; both my husband and I ended up waking each morning with aches in our hips, backs, and shoulders. We struggled to find a comfortable position, which made for restless nights. Additionally, the walk up the stairs to our room was less than ideal, and it compounded our frustrations. The back patio, which we hoped to use to enjoy the lovely view, was overtaken by spider webs as well, making it impossible to relax outside. I even took it upon myself to knock down some of the webs by the back room door, but it didn't significantly improve the situation. Overall, our stay was disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless major cleanliness and comfort improvements are made. We certainly won't be returning.

Weekend stay

For most hotels you strewn required to pay a deposit. Not only are you forced to pay a deposit, but they don't offer a continental breakfast in the morning. They have garden tubs with jets that aren't cleaned properly, and the shower curtain doesn't appear to be changed regularly either.

Mold on the sheets

Location was great but the sheets and bedding had mold on it and didn’t notice until the second day when we were making the bed up and by then we contracted a upper respiratory infection also everything was not inclusive there was a charge for everything especially the water slide should be free for us rewards members and 300 per night

Clean room

The water park was fun we chose to stay the night with plans of going to the water park following day. But we didn’t get any sleep due to a loud party being held next to our room they went until 2-3am then the upstairs guest were non stop walking around. If your looking to book I definitely recommend a villa on top no ground levels.

Part-time time-off

My car was damaged and nothing was done with the security.

Absolute Garbage Hotel

I've traveled all around the world with the military and now as a business consultant and this is one of the worst experiences of 30+ travel years. This IHG property was near a client's business so I took my wife along for an overnight stay. The cottages are 40+ years old and in terrible disrepair. The bathtub was literally falling apart with chunks of fiberglass on the floor. The furniture in the "activity center" grill was ripped and badly torn. And get this: This "lake" resort is over a mile from the lake. Yes, they have a waterpark and pools on grounds but you CANNOT walk to the lake from the cottages. Well, technically you can walk but it will take an hour down dangerous roads. We spoke with an employee at the aforementioned grill and apparently the property is closing soon, which makes sense. It's a dilapidated disaster of a "resort." Avoid this at all costs. IHG, you should be ashamed.

50th Wedding Anniversary Family Gathering!

We were drawn to the resort by its proximity to our homes near Dallas to make it convenient for the kids and grandkids to join us in celebrating our 50th Anniversary. With an adjoining waterpark, lake, and pools it was the ideal setting. The staff throughout the entire resort was terrific. Security was everywhere, lifeguards were attentive, and food and beverage outstanding.

Great Family Time HI Resort in Flint, TX

We took the whole family - 3 grown children and six grandchildren - to the HI Vacation Club in Flint. Everyone enjoyed the time there very much. The two bedroom suites are spacious and they accommodated our request of rooms near each other. We visited all the pools and enjoyed each one. Great areas for the smaller kids to splash and play in. The staff here was very friendly and helpful. The property is beautiful. Highly recommend.

Bed Bugs! (July 2025)

We stayed one night at the end of July 2025. We woke up and discovered bed bugs in our bed. I captured a few of them in a water bottle and gave them to the manager who comped the room for the night. This was horrible and caused a lot of stress along with inconvenience as we had to take steps to avoid bringing any of these bugs into our own home. The room itself, a two bedroom unit, was actually a great layout. Aside from the bed bugs though there were several signs of neglect such as the number sign outside the door was completely covered in spider webs. Stay at your own risk.
