Villa Roma Resort

My first time here and I must admit it's a winner. We had 79° weather in late October in the mountains. The food was delicious. We did 3 meals a day. The breakfast was a buffet but lunch and dinner were order from the menu. The wait staff went above and beyond the call of duty. It reminded me of being on a first class cruise. "Lito"....we loved you! My room needed some updates, but was comfortable. Last but not least, the entertainment was awesome. I laughed & smiled all weekend. It's a fabulous getaway and only 30 minutes from Woodstock. ✌️ PEACE

Long-standing Catskills resort complex with both traditional hotel accommodations and timeshare units. We traded in on a timeshare exchange a couple weeks after the end of the busy season, so many of its seasonal facilities were shut down already for the winter. Those facilities which remained open were of high quality, though. We ate in two of the resort restaurants, which provided great meals at a reasonable price. It's only a few miles from the site of Woodstock, too, which is a great bonus. (That's practically the only thing it's close to -- its location is very remote.) However, there were a few things we found... troubling. You had to put down a $300 security deposit at check-in -- $900 if you wanted to charge meals and other sundries to your room. Unlike any other resort we've been to, we were required to initial a whole list of special conditions we agreed to abide by or face extra charges. The most unusual one of the lot was a requirement that we bag up our garbage every day for housekeeping to collect -- we were explicitly instructed that we were not to keep any garbage in the unit, on pain of what amounted to a fine. This made me wonder if they had had a vermin problem in the past. The accommodations themselves were quite nice, plenty of room and well-appointed, but were a little run down around the edges -- things like dripping faucets, damaged woodwork and poorly hung doors. The unit was oddly designed, almost as though an architect had simply made a few changes to a hotel floorplan to create the timeshare buildings; compared to the rest of the resort the timeshare felt almost like an afterthought. Still, we enjoyed our time there, and found it a good base for our explorations of local fall color.

Great activities for adults & children alike, fun meal plan, top service, nightly entertainment, & beautiful surroundings. It was a Cruise Ship on land (I loved it)! If you like betting money, there were Turtle races, Bingo, and the Left/Center/Right Dice game to win cash prizes. We rented a one-bedroom apartment. Standard Hotel rooms also available. We're already planning our return trip!
