My first trip was a complete disaster.
I scheduled my first trip at The Villages because of the water park. My daughter and I drove all the way out to The Villages from Ft. Worth which happens to be the furtherest one in East Texas. When we got there a very rude girl told us that we were not booked there we were booked at Holly Lake which was about 45 minutes away. So we had to drive out to Holly Lake which took us about 2 hours to find because we got lost. Holly Lake was not exciting for us at all. There was nothing there that we couldn't do at home. No great attractions other than the golf course. Since we don't golf it really wasn't condusive to our specific needs or enjoyment. The pool was too crowded because that was all there was to do.
I have not had good experience with this company at all. When I first signed up with this company I was in a relationship with a guy...the sales people talked me into giving them some names and #'s of friends so I talked my boyfriend in letting me use some of his friends names and #'s too. Not long after that we started getting calls from all of our friends telling us that they were being harrassed by these sales people. Some were saying that they were getting more that 7 or 8 calls per day every day even after they were asked to stop. It was so embarrassing. My boyfriend had a couple of friends who were saying that I was an idiot and a pshyco for for signing up with a company like this and one even asked him what the *** was wrong with me. Needless to say about a week after all of this went down he dumped me because he said that I make bad decisions with money.
If I can't cancel my membership I will report them to the BBB and I will spread the word to all of my friends and family about how rude the people are at the resorts and how all the hype is nothing but a load of crap.
There is absolutely nothing fun or exciting at these places that you can't do at home. Save your gas and time people...it's a waste of money.
