My stay at Shadow Ridge Villages was a mixed bag. While the two-bedroom condo we had was spacious and well-appointed, I was frustrated by the dining restrictions, as there were limited food options on-site and we had to venture out for basic necessities. The pool area was inviting, but the restrictions on pool access felt like a real downside, especially since we were looking forward to enjoying it. Overall, while the accommodations were decent, the lack of amenities and dining options detracted from the experience.

We enjoyed our stay at the resort with spacious accommodations and a great array of amenities, but there were a few drawbacks like noise and pool restrictions.

We had a time of mixed experiences at this resort. The pool area was fantastic, with plenty of activities and excellent service. Unfortunately, our studio room had serious noise issues due to poor soundproofing, and the lack of in-room amenities like a washer and a functional kitchen was disappointing. The staff was friendly, but the dining options and hours left much to be desired.

The amenities, especially the pools, were appealing, but the overall upkeep of the units needs significant improvement.
