- Alex FThe Villages, FL1,198 contributionsAs a Hispanic, I feel like in an small plaza in a village or town in Hispanic heritage location. Just need a couple of big trees to protect visitor from the central Florida sun in the summer.Written August 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 1957Ottawa, Canada549 contributionsBeautiful town square with lots of shops to check out , lots of restaurants to dine out in and outdoor. The boardwalk along is quite nice , they even have short boat rides around the lake , after 4pm for only $2 . In the Center of it all , there is live entertainment playing every night, with lots of chairs but you can bring your own as well. Entertainment starts at 5pm to9pm with dancing if you like and there is happy hour ( 5pm-6pm). Also to be noted , the area is very pet friendly.Written May 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Barbara S CJamesville, United States6 contributionsThe recreational center shows more like a museum than anything else. It's clean and attractively decorated.Written September 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alex FThe Villages, FL1,198 contributionsThe structures and facilities may be the same, but every visit, particularly in the evenings with the live music, people dancing or just gathering around the plaza makes it different. Let add those days when they have special events; cars displays, gold carts displays, and many other activities.Written May 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PeteDaytona Beach, FL420 contributionsGoing to a Polo Match was on my Bucket list so we attended a match at the Villages. The $20 fee per person might seem like a lot but when you compare it to other ticket prices for sporting events it's not that extreme. It was a beautiful day and we opted for the tail gate section which put us close to the field. The game is easy to understand and fun to watch. At half time they do the divot stomp where everyone who want to participate can go on the field and replace the loose turf.Written April 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dale HTillamook, OR1,320 contributionsWhile visiting THE VILLAGES in Central Florida recently we were looking for a church to attend on Sunday. We found HOPE LUTHERAN CHURCH and were warmly welcomed when we entered. Everyone was very friendly and we loved the pastor’s sermon. If we lived there, we would certainly become members!Written December 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jacklyn WThe Villages, FL3,463 contributionsThis is not the best country club to have lunch. I was with a group of about 20 and we were seated up near the front door. Those that took care of our table weren’t that efficient. For example one person ordered hot tea and was never brought a spoon. She asked for some sugar and never got that. Someone asked for mayo and it never arrived. They were not really good about checking back to see of food was prepared properly or if we needed anything. Those with the lobster rolls did say that they were very good. Most people enjoyed their food, but not the service.Written February 27, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It appears when you enter through the front doors you are in the old sanctuary, which is beautiful with what appears to be all the original the stain glass windows. The space is roughly3 stories and has some musical performers playing piano and other instruments, background music. They also have a concession stands with alcohol. The actual performance area is built onto the old church and consists of three different levels, and they have an elevator that serves all the floors. The balcony, level 3 does not have concessions or bathrooms.
The actual performance center is also beautiful and has excellent acoustics. It is small enough to feel intimate but large enough to attract bigger national talent. We sat in the center section of the balcony which has comfortable seats and good leg room, I am 6’4”.
We saw Rain which is a national touring Beatles tribute show. They were excellent as well as their multi media show that they have with their show which would of been unheard of during the time of the actual Beatles. Rain also does some costume so they try to look the part of the Beatles. We have seen them before, I think in Hershey, PA, and were not impressed. However this show was fantastic.Written March 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As well, it is a great place to buy gifts. When in The Villages, it is a must stop.Written March 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
