J Ashcraft· 2 months agoThis place i very nice. The atmosphere is very luxurious, and the place is spacious.
Kara Korhummel· a month agoHeard it was beautiful but was closed when I was there
Christopher Salter· 10 months agoComputer says no syndrome, the villages guest pass system is not fit for purpose, do not rent here and expect to use facilities irrespective of what your air bnb rental says
Bess Reeverts· 3 years agoThe building facilities is beautiful and very functional. I was in a line dance class and had fun until one of the class members told me this class was not for me. Evidently there is an ultra beginners class and was then told I was to take before the beginners class. hmm not a very friendly group of peoples.
Joseph Grassi· 8 years agoUnder the leadership of Mr. Thomas Moore the staff at the gym are great. Ginny, Jack, Tom, Steve are very friendly and helpful. The equipment is maintained in very good condition and the area is clean and well lit. On the down side is the cost. It's not a gym with towel service or steam room or instructors it's really just a room with gym equipment. I have been to other gated communities were residence were able to use the gym for free.
