This is a tough review to write because despite the bad things (and there were plenty), I still have an overall positive feeling after my weekend at Villa Roma. It was fun. They have great grounds - swimming pool with water slides, bumper boats, go carts, bouncy houses, etc. It's awesome for kids. The back 9 on the golf course was excellent. 17 is a very pretty hole. (The front 9 though, both the condition and course layout were wonky - way too many blind shots for me on the front and no GPS on the carts to guide you). One waiter in the restaurant was exceptionally friendly and great. The lifeguards by the pool were friendly, the bingo and dice game emcees were fun and brought good energy to the place. But, there's so much wrong with this place too. The rooms are big, but they're terribly dated. The beds are very springy and feel low quality. Walls are incredibly thin - can hear your neighbor and/or people in the hallway. The staff seemed tired and we felt like so many didn't want to be there. We arrived before the room was ready - was told to leave our stuff in the car - there's no bell service, they won't call you when your room is ready, just check back with them later. The food was ample, but so much tasted like it's pre-packaged. I believe maybe the entrees are made in house - I don't think they make the desserts at all. The nighttime entertainment is difficult because the crowd is such a mixed bag (mainly elderly at the night shows), and it's one act per night that has to suit the whole crowd. I think both performers we saw did a good job, but it has to be among the worst rooms to play in. It all feels intentional - I'd guess they already know these things. They could go higher end (or at the very least, make the rooms a bit more comfortable), they certainly don't have to. They do great business in the summer. They have this nice proximity to NYC. It all works. It all could be better, nearly everything there could be better. But it's good enough and it was fun, so take from this what you wish.
