Marriott's Shadow Ridge - The Villages Reviews & Ratings

just returned from a week here. we bought last year on a 3 day trip and brought the 3 kids with us this time. Perfect weather, beautiful resort, pool with waterslide for the kids and great kids rec room. The only down side was the pools closing down every time a kid pooped in it, which was everyday for 3 days, one day being the 2 main pools. We did complain, and were compensated but it was a big problem for all who were there. They did get a handle on it, just in time for memorial weekend. overall, it was a good vacation and we will be back.

Stayed in a 2 bedroom unit Jan.2007. the grounds are nicely kept and landscaped. the units have GREAT furniture and are nicely decorated. the people at the front desk are helpful and responsive. the units are pretty new, so the beds and couches are comfortable and in great shape. they are furnished with dishwashing liquid, sponges, paper towels, dishwasher soap, and coffee filters. they will replace your used towels upon request and supposed to do a midweek clean. Our TV sound had problems when using the DVD player which they tried to fix, but it never did work right. The only major problem with these units (especially compared to the desert springs villas) is the poor quality construction. ie:doors not hung properly, sound proofing non existent. You can actually hear your neighbors using they bathroom, and TV's playing in the next room. Other than that, it's great!!!

Wonderful Resort! Down side was chipping paint, a work out room that needs to be expanded (long wait to use treadmills, etc.) & noisy neighbors (needed better sound proof in ceiling). Up Side: Great room, comfy beds, 3 pools, rec room for kids, basketball, volleyball, and golf and tennis lessons for a minimal fee. We had a great time in our two bedroom and plan on going back soon.

Check-in handled effeciently,one maintenence problem fixed immediately. Great pools and views! Front desk staff is the best. Will be back again

We just got home today from our trial trip to Shadow Ridge and bought a week! This is a perfect Location for a family with kids. Great Pools and Maze youth center. Beautiful views of the golf course, lakes, and mountains. The units are very nice ...you won't believe the size of the bathtubs!

We just came home from an absolutely gorgeous week at Shadow Ridge. The resort location is truly one of the most beautiful spots I have ever been in, includling Hawaii. Marriott has done a wonderful job with the resort and they are not done yet. Even though the resort is only 4 years old, they are making improvements and still buildling villas. We loved it so much we purchased a week. If serenity is on your vacation "musts" then this is the resort for you.

Beautiful resort - first class all the way. Rooms have designer type decorations, gorgeous pool areas, landscaping and a great restaurant. A great place to spend a week and relax. Highly recommended - you will definitley be impressed from the moment you enter the gates.

This resort, when finished, is going to be even larger than Desert Springs Villas. It is gorgeous! Units are very nice, only two years new and very spacious. Golf course is very challenging and the restaurant is fabulous.

Had the opportunity to take a tour of this resort while staying at Desert Springs II. The resort is still under construction, but is open for guests. The units are not as large as Desert Springs, but they are brand new and very nicely decorated. The pool looked wonderful as well as the golf course. This will be a nice place to stay once completed.

Very nicely designed and decorated units with a great view of a beautiful golf course and the mountains. Also has a huge pool area that is very nice. As with most Marriott properties, service is excellent
