My stay at Marriott's Shadow Ridge I - The Villages had its ups and downs. I loved the spacious accommodations, especially the well-equipped kitchens, but I faced some noise issues from neighboring rooms that disrupted my sleep. The pools were fantastic and lively, although they got quite crowded, making it tough to find a quiet spot. I appreciated the attentive staff, but I think some areas could really use a bit of remodeling.
