For me cleanliness, helpful staff, and a comfortable bed and pillows - a good night sleep is super important - are the main things I look for in a hotel. The Waterfront Inn delivers in all three areas. My family and I enjoy staying here whenever we visit the Villages. It is in such a great location and the sunsets, and sunrises are stunning over the water.

I gave this 4 stars because the restaurant menu is only Caribbean food, which we didn’t care for. Our hotel room was clean and roomy, the staff was wonderful.
