Villages Resort at Lake PalestineRental Guest Reviews

Great water park and activities, room cleanliness overlooked by staff

Great water park and activities, room cleanliness overlooked by staff. Multiple insects (Alive and dead - including crickets and spiders) with a large cobweb in the living room area behind the corner coffee table, really concerning that it had spider eggs within it, made the room stay uncomfortable, concerned that the rest of the room wasnt sanitary either.

Amazing rooms

The rooms were very big. We had enough room to do things without being on top of each other. The amenities were amazing. My kids loved swimming in the pool that was not deep so they didn't have to worry about not being able to touch the bottom. My oldest was actually able to learn how to swim here.

Comfortable bed and clean room

The beds were almost as comfortable as ours at home. The jetted bathtub was a great surprise. We really enjoyed the spacious balcony where we were able to relax and enjoy the nice weather. The kitchen was fully equipped

Hidden gem!

I never knew such an awesome resort was literally in my own backyard! We were only 15 minutes from home or town and restaurants which is awesome if you’re needing to get away but not go too far. There was plenty of recreation activities to choose from. We had an awesome view of the lake. The only problem we experienced was a group of men drinking and cutting up outside our window at 4:00 am. Not a pleasant way to wake up. However, when my husband called security they had already driven by and told them to break it up and go inside which we were grateful for. The furnishings were nice, but we had some broken tiles in the bathroom and the walls could have used a fresh coat of paint. Overall, it was a very enjoyable day for my husband and I on our anniversary!

Wonderful economic place to vacation

This was a wonderful place to take the family. We had such a great time! Definitely wash dishes before use, they were kinda sticky. Also, do not dine or drink at the Marina, not a good experience. But the Resort Inn is worth every penny!

Great location, with a few glitches

We came to this resort looking for a replacement for Great Wolf Lodge. The villa we rented was wonderful. Plenty of room and a fully stocked kitchen. The only real problem came when we went to the onsite water park. The extra fee to get in was kind of a let down. The worst thing is that the steps to the wave pool are pretty slick, and my wife ended up falling hard on the stairs despite wearing water shoes. The outdoor kid pool ended up being where we spent most of our time. Would definitely recommend, but be careful about slipping in the water park.

Spiders everywhere

The resort is beautiful but as soon as the sun goes down you can't leave the room there is spiders everywhere and the dive bomb you. I called to get it sprayed they said someone would be by at 9am. By 1030am I got restless and got some guys that were spraying and cleaning to get the spiders. Them at about 4pm another guy came to the door and wanted to spray. I told him that someone already came and he said ok. He didn't tell me he was coming from the pest company, but he had a holiday vacation club shirt on. Come to find out he was from the outside pest company. So when I checked out and asked for compensation they told me they couldn't do anything because the pest control guy said ok and left when I told him that someone already sprayed.

Skweekey bed

One of the beds skeeeked really bad, making it hard to fall asllep. Could not turn or roll over with out waking someone up.

Comfortable beds, great location

Property was fun, beds were great. Would stay again if ever in Tyler.
