Sweetwater at Lake Conroe, a VRI Resort

We were pleased with the resort, other than the steps into all of the resort rooms. Also we were in the basement apartment and the lighting was very poor outside when coming into the rooms. Steps and sidewalks and patio could have been cleaner. I swept outside our door and the steps going to our room. Activities were great at the resort.

The unit was as perfect as you can get. Minimum stairs, ultra clean and a number of activities on the property. The exercise room was perfect.

I don't know about the other units, but ours, lower level in Bldg. 1 was really bad. It's out of date and run down. Drain in main bedroom tub was super slow. Didn't use the other tub. It was a 2 b, 2ba with kitchenette, dining and living room. Everything was super outdated but functional. Surface cleaning was fine, but they never deep clean. Blinds and windows are filthy. Walls haven't been painted for probably 15+ years. This was a last minute time share exchange that we had to pay for at a discounted rate. Temps in early July around 100 degrees during the day. Not a lot of shade either. Nice pools, but didn't go in. It was too hot and sun was so intense. Golf clubhouse restaurant was OK. We were booked Sat-Fri. Air quality in room was so bad we left early on Wed. I stopped in at the manager's office and advised the air vents in the rooms were disgusting. The vent shafts themselves were lined and coated with thick crud that looked like blown in insulation or pillow stuffing. I started getting sore throat and irritated lungs. When we first entered the big condo we had to immediately pull out the numerous floor fans from the closets and open the sliding door to air out the place. One floor fan was filthy, full of pet hair. He said he wasn't aware the vents were dirty and that he'd add it to the list that never gets approved. I told him this had nothing to do with updating or redecorating, this was a health hazard and he should get the vents cleaned asap. Then he acted dumb like oh, I wouldn't know who to call to get something like that done. Funny, I recall him saying he'd been in management for 20 some years. Then I also advised the track lighting glass that ran along the length of the kitchenette needed a good cleaning too. The edges of the clear glass were coated with brown thick grease. He said he hadn't noticed. I told him because it was in the kitchen, it was a fire hazard. I don't even know if I would have been able to tolerate the bad air quality even if we weren't limited to staying in the room because of the scorching hot temps. If the other units are better, then it wouldn't be bad. Also, even the outdoor lights were out. Pitch black to go up and down the outside stairs to get to the room. At least this so called manager had some money to replace the bulbs which he did. Typical blames it on management that they don't want to put one cent into these units because they're trying to get rid of them. If I was a timeshare owner at this resort, paying annual maintenance, I'd be furious. By the way, the club house restaurant was pretty good, but even in there, right above our table, the air vent had all sorts of black junk hanging out of it. Gordon Ramsy would have spotted that in a second. NO QUALITY CONTROL. It is a gated community and we don't golf but unlimited golf was available for free, not including the cart, and pool access and a few other club amenities were also included.

Nice location, very polite and service minded person at the check in. BUT be aware that the pool is closed on Mondays. Bad luck for us, it was the reason why we booked it in the first place, to surprise our son for his birthday. Bad luck number 2: they closed the bigger pool on the Tuesday morning because it needed to be cleaned. That resulted in 30 persons in a small pool until the end of the day and us driving to an aqua park 10 miles away. In addition, if you are situated next to the pools, be aware that you might get a aqua gym class at 8:30 in the morning, lasting for one hour with loud music but obviously happy ladies. Last but not least, the appartement we got smelled A LOT like smoke. For a 2 days stay, we didn’t complain but that could (should?) be taken into consideration when a family books a condo. The condo is fully functional, clean but very outdated. To finalize on a positive note, the surrounding is very well maintained.

We were here 2 days. Day one pool was closed because it was Monday ??? No information when buying. Day 2 pool opens at 10am, but from 08am is admission for elderly people who want to do water fitness. - means lot of noise from instructor yelling and loud music directly to our balcony, from where we could look at the pool where we were not allowed to go into. Next time please inform. Be honest…. Room great space old interior and no doubt it is a smoker apt. For many years. Next time give the smoker apt to the smokers and not the family’s. A great place for people in retirement, but don’t go with children. They are not appreciated. Room was clean.

Comfortable mattress and pillows. Generally clean. Large 2 bedroom 2 full baths, kitchen stocked including dish and glassware, cook and bakeware and utensils. Ice cube trays. Agree with others great amnenities through April Sound Country Club and the restaurant is good.. with beautiful lake views. Cable wifi and cell phone signal somewhat slow but works. Glad other reviews confirmed rooms need updating. I thought I got the only frumpy room. I don't know the regular price because I booked as a timeshare exchange. I was happy that we weren't hit with all sorts of fees Not a one. We couldn't golf because my husband pulled his back muscle a week ago at home getting out of his favorite recliner!

Always enjoy our stay at this location. The condos are very clean, the location to the lake, shopping and restaurants is very convenient, we especially enjoy the amenities of the fitness center, pool and golf. The units may need a little updating but that is not an issue for us. The price we pay is very attractive to us retired travelers. The office staff are very helpful, courteous and friendly.
