The only good thing was the hotel was willing to work with the third party booking to refund my money , despite that process taking almost an hour. It is false advertisement because the pictures focus more on the condos , the golf courses, the water/ views, more so than the hotel rooms; it makes you think the rooms look like the other facilities, and it absolutely does not. Completely disappointed when I arrived at the room for several reasons. There were stains on the furniture, the door was peeling , the tub was dirty, it smelled funny, there was no refrigerator or microwave, despite it saying on the website that those amenities were included, etc. Would not recommend. read more

Unfortunately, I don't think this hotel has seen one renovation since 1991. Our room did not have a telephone fridge or USB plugs for cell phones. For some reason they had two working telephones locked in one of the cabinets along with two coffee makers that we were not allowed to use. Everything was extremely dirty. Ceiling in the bathroom has either some water damage or mold I'm not sure which one it is. I wouldn't stay here if somebody paid me. Check-in was extremely difficult. They could not find our reservation. Once they found our reservation and we were ready to go to our room the golf cart attendant decided to take another employee to the opposite side of the hotel of where we were staying. So we had to take a scenic route during the hottest part of the day, while fully clothed with our suitcases in tow 10 minutes out of our way to drop off an employee.... The bridge area with the spring smells like a toilet and the water looks septic. I would recommend not walking near the area if you have a weak stomach. read more

I took the Tennis Program at Saddlebrook and it was an AMAZING LEARNING EXPERIENCE! Larry (my Pro) spent so much time with me breaking things down that I could almost immediately put into practice. I learned more in one weekend than I have in a lifetime. USTA reference 3.0 player, playing at 3.5 level. read more

My husband, my 8 year old, and I arrived at 12:30am. We checked in and were given a room key for 642 at approximately 12:45am. We waited for about 10 minutes for a golf cart and were taken to 642. My 8 year old son used the key to open the door and a woman quickly came to the door to say it was occupied. This is clearly dangerous for both parties and extremely upsetting to all involved as we have been traveling all day. This isn't even the worst part. I called the front from 1:07am to 1:32 - over 15 times, and the receptionist never answered. The valet never sent the golf cart back to get us that my husband called to request. So we had to hike with all 7 pieces of luggage back to the front desk. The receptionist was very unfazed and when asked about answering the phone throughout a 25 minute time period, she said she was "too busy" to answer. I find this absolutely unacceptable. It's now 1:50 am- an entire 1 hour+ that we've arrived and we are sitting in the lobby absolutely exhausted with no resolution - except they're "trying to find a room" although "we're fully booked". I don't know how this is going to end tonight and if/ when we will actually get a room. Do not come here. read more

You can hear people in adjacent rooms speaking in normal volume voices, and their televisions. Thinnest walls I've ever encountered. Even had them move me to a different room - same issue. Food is awful and way overpriced. You're trapped so there are no good options. This is the worst place I've ever stayed, by far. Avoid at all costs. read more

Only one employee checking in guests at check in time on a Saturday. After patiently waiting my turn I was informed my walking disabled wife had to be the one to check in since the reservation was in her name even though we share the same name, and I had the confirmation email information. This was a problem due to having a toddler with us so I was unable to assist my wife while she had to check in. After all this they then gave us the wrong room and the process had to start over again. Rather than go through the hassle we left Not disability friendly. Avoid if you require any kind of accomodations read more

HOTEL CALIFORNIA STAY AWAY!! I travel a lot and the most important for me is CLEAN ROOMS COLD AND GOOD BEDS! This resort (NOT) was nothing close to that. HORRIBLE - dirty rooms smelled bad, check in took 1 hr. no parking and be prepared to walk at least 1/2 miles to your room OH and If it RAINS..... which it will its Tampa you will be walking in water up to your knees! what a horrible experience and I could go on but I won't because to many things to say! Please listen and stay far away from this place honestly it is really really bad! Awful read more

Do not stay here. When we arrived late on Saturday night we found the room to be dated unlike what was advertised online, we were so exhausted we did not inspect the room. The next morning upon waking up we found the room was unclean. We noticed that there were chips on the floors, by our beds and underneath, popcorn in the entry of the kitchen, the refrigerator was not cleaned out and there was a sugary substance at the bottom of the fridge floor, cobb webs in the corner of the bedroom, and hair stuck in the shower drain. When we went to the front desk we spoke with Nancy and told her our findings and asked if we could be moved to another cleaner and newer room. She told us renovations had not started yet on the resort and all the rooms looked the same. She took down notes of what we encountered in the room and said she would have it cleaned, we also inquired again about moving to another room regardless if it was newer we just wanted a clean room. Nancy stated that they were going to be checking out a lot of people that day (it was a Sunday) and if we came back that evening we could be moved to another cleaner room and she would notate our file, this was around 9:30 am. When we returned that evening around 10 pm, we went to the front desk before going back to our room to speak with the receptionist, Nancy was off, so we spoke with Juan/Steve (we got conflicting names) about getting a new room he could not find anything in our electronic folder or anything in writing that indicated a room switch. We explained we spoke with Nancy and the findings from that morning. We again, asked if they had any newer renovated rooms as when we drove by a few of the rooms on the resort, the lights were on due to it being dark and we could see there were newly painted and brighter interior rooms. We were told they had not started the renovations yet again. But later confirmed via the bellhop that they did indeed have newly renovated rooms that were on the premises. We also requested our reservation be canceled after this night (we booked 7 days) as we didn't feel the location was living up to the standards advertised. He said since we booked thru a 3rd party we needed to contact that 3rd party which we completely understood. He offered to switch our rooms, but then told us that if we switched rooms there was a possibility we would have another dirty room and that our current room should have been cleaned while we were out. We decided to hold off on the room swap due to this guidance and went to our room to see if it had been cleaned. We walked in and saw the beds were made, however, the chips, and stains in the fridge and the front of the fridge were still present, along with the cobwebs on the ceiling corners. We also noticed the end tables by the couch were covered in dust and when I wiped them down with a washcloth there were layers of dust that came off of the end tables. We were thoroughly disgusted and immediately requested that our reservation be canceled for the remainder of our stay via the 3rd party booking which they thankfully granted. We went back to the front desk and there was a new person by the name of Carlo, he offered to move us to one of the newly renovated rooms (mind you we were told by Nancy and Juan/Steve that renovations had not started) but we declined and asked for a refund he stated he did not have the authority to authorize a full refund but he did give us the information for his boss who would be in the next day as we wanted to also request that the 1.5 days we stayed be refunded as well due to the severity and lack of cleanliness and this hotel being advertised as a 4-star location. I would strongly discourage anyone who is drawn in by the 4-star status to NOT STAY HERE. Perhaps when they renovate and get a new cleaning staff maybe.... But they did not clean our rooms before our arrival for check-in so not sure this would change even with their new renovations. read more

The room smelt bad . The tub drain took about 30+ minutes to empty out had to go to the front desk to get new towels and toilet paper and beware they charge $30 a night to park your car and they also love sneaking in $30 a day to use the pool what a joke Plus a seven dollar day resort fee and a $30 check-in fee. Had to take my own trash out after calling room service three times. also their phone system does not work. This was a first and last.4 nights ex $268.00 what a joke read more

If you're looking for an old, crappy hotel with horrible customer service, this is your place. We booked through a third party and were basically treated like garbage. We accepted that booking through a third party would give us the small room farthest from the pool, but we didn't expect to be neglected and belittled. Before coming, I called to ask if there would be a fridge. I was told over the phone that if we didn't have one in the room we were given, they could bring us one. Upon arriving, we let them know we needed one and they said they didn't have one and there was nothing they could do. They didn't care to hear that I already asked for one prior to coming. Not to mention, they told us that there is only valet parking and it would be $30 per day. It's required and non negotiable. We fought it saying we were never told this and they said that wasn't their problem. We were livid about this, and come to find out, there are self-parking parking lots for each cluster of rooms! Valet for $30/day is NOT required but they were just lying to us to see if we would bite. The first night here our AC was on the fritz and by the second night it wasn't working at all. With a barely working room phone, we called at 10 pm after a long day out and after several tries we finally got someone. We let the front desk know our AC wasn't working at all and the room was hot and humid in this Florida heat. They said they would send maintenance right away. No one came. We spent the night miserable. The next morning I called the front desk and again, after several tries I finally got someone. They apologized, told us they would comp us one night and send someone. They did send someone and it got fixed. However, when we went to the front desk a couple of days later to confirm the comped night, they said they have no record of any of this and they can't do it. When we asked to speak to a manager, we were told he wasn't available. We had to come back later that day and fight to speak with a manager available. We finally spoke with Klarisa who was actually helpful. After being here for 3 days, and having a door tag hanging that says "please service room," our room never got serviced. We thought maybe they were confused about the tag, so we took it down hoping for service and fresh towels. Didn't happen. So after the 4th day we finally had to call for service to get someone to freshen the room. Lastly, while checking out I noticed a charge on the bill. We did eat two salads the day before, but the charge was more than it should have been. When I asked about it, they said the extra was gratuity. I asked if it was automatic gratuity, because I didn't approve that much gratuity and she said she wasn't sure, but it was there. So basically, gratuity was added to my bill without my knowledge. We were here for a big hockey tournament with a very large group of people, and many in our group had issues. Steer clear of this place. read more

Beautiful facilities ruined by very bad service. there's a shortage of parking so after check in have to use the valet it self park the valet are quite rude and act like they're doing a favor but I guess they are when you consider what it would be like to park yourself. The television did not work, wasn't even plugged in. I plugged it in and all I could get on the screen was pictures of the resort. Also, the phone did not work so the only way to call the front desk is on your telephone. I also went to the Krug coffee maker, which was unplugged. I plugged it in and got water looked at the coffee available and noticed it only had decaf. Ifyou try to call the front desk all you get is a recording that says leave us a message and we will pass it on and hopefully they will call you back. Major disappointment. read more

We stayed for three days of tennis and I wish we had stayed longer! tmThe tennis clinic was amazing, fantasic coaches aho really tell you whY you need to do to improve your game and get you working on it! The resort is nice, could definitly use some upgrades but we were in the room long at all so not a big deal to us. The pool was nice to have for after tennis and the resturants were veey good!! read more

Do not stay here! No running water in the room! No housekeeping. The doors were broken and everything was outdated. And I was charged TWICE!! Left 6 voicemails to the accounting department and still have heard nothing back. In addition, I called the night before for a 7am pickup at my room so I can leave for the airport since the lobby was so far away and transportation showed up 20 minutes late and I missed my flight! Would give 0 stars if I could. Worst hotel I have every stayed at. read more

When Saddlebrook Resort can't find the keys to your friend's car that you are supposed to be picking up, so you tell them you'll just be sleeping in the lobby until they do, because they "can't do anything for you". WHAT THE HELL? Who is shocked that they only have 3 Stars on Yelp?! read more

Saddlebrook Resort - Resorts Near Me - Wesley Chapel, Florida

Where to start. I have had four back surgeries since 2015 and have chronic sciatic pain in my right leg, am in pain management, and had to go on disability. I have a disabled parking permit. Also, my husband had a neck surgery two weeks ago. We both needed an accessible room, which we booked a year ago at this resort for a convention. No chair in the shower, which we both need. After calling three times over two days, I am finally told the resort does not have any shower chairs. The text on the Saddlebrook website clearly states accessible rooms with "bathing and toilet chairs". The food for one of the convention banquet meals was memorable, after I pulled the 12-inch long hair out of my chicken Alfredo. My husband got food poisoning from the cold lasagna in the steam trays in the restaurant buffet. He was in the room for 24 hours with violent vomiting and diarrhea and missed a big chunk (because he was blowing them) of the convention. The room was gross with dirty, peeling off wallpaper and gross carpet. The room air filter was filthy and hadn't been changed in God knows how long. The toilet took several times to completely flush, which was lovely for my husband when he was in the throes of his food borne illness. There were four (4) long golf carts available for 2,000 people at the convention. Four. Had to walk back and forth from the main event building to our apartment in horrible heat because there was hardly ever a cart/bell hop available. We tried using the phone/link service for the bell people but either no one answered, or the message was never communicated. There were two very nice gentlemen at the front desk who were as frustrated as we were and were very understanding, and we appreciated that. The whole resort looked run down. It's as if Motel 6 and the Projects in Compton, Calif. had kids. I'm sure the apartment toilet was top of the line in 1979. Burlap sacks filled with sawdust would have made better pillows than this place. And my grammar school's lunchtime cafeteria provided better, safer food. But I digress. The best part of my stay? You guessed it. Leaving! read more

Nice grounds, friendly staff but a few snags when busy. Since the grounds have everyone spread apart for golfing, you pretty much need to be carted around to get to the conference center. I brought my family along, since it was a long weekend, so they had fun. But since I had to dress professionally I wasn't going to walk in the hot sun from my hotel to the conference center each time. But that meant calling ahead sometimes 30-40 Mins to get someone to golf cart me over. Also, while all the "rooms"are actually suites there was a lot of space and the rooms were clean with a full kitchen and living area. You could tell this was a very nice resort 20 years ago. But now the wallpaper was peeling, some bathroom tiles were loose and we found a dead bug on our bedroom floor! I know it's Florida, but a roach in a room isn't the first thing you want greeting you. Overall, we had a pleasant experience but it wasn't "knock your socks off" amazing and the inconvenience of having to valet every time you left the resort got annoying. The self parking was miles away! Our view was lovely and the staff were extremely helpful but I doubt I'll be coming here again, conference or not. read more

It's more like 2.5/5 to be honest! I was actually disappointed for several reasons; my company chose this place for our work conference for two nights for +350 people: REASONS WHY I WOULDN'T RETURN on my own dime for $130/night; it was $70/night with our corporate discount. 1.) They were def. short staffed first night at the bar area where half of us promptly went for more drinks where they only had 2 bartenders...drinks were coming out very slow and I could tell people were getting impatient & rowdy. 2.) All of the food was lukewarm & the proteins were dry including the sad pieces of basic, small & grilled chicken & short ribs...the green beans werent overcooked, but lacked the most basic seasoning...SALT! 3.) This "resort" hasn't made any decor upgrades since its inception, which has to be at least anywhere from 30-40 years. My suite included a small kitchen with vinyl counters - carpet had stains. I felt like being transported to 1970s - 1980s... 4.) Parking is terrible! I brought my car and there isn't even marked signs, so you have to drive around & ask employees where to park! Also, sat outside underneath an overhang where I waited 15-20 min. For the shuttle in the humidity and intense heat. #FirstWorldProblems POSITIVES: 1.) The short ribs were nicely seasoned! 2.) I may have partied too hard first night, so had to call room service to change sheets, which they did within a couple hours. 3.) I loved the rustic decor with beautiful sunflower centerpieces! 4.) I loved the fruit medley that came with our sandwiches and included lychees - one of my all time favorite Chinese fruit! read more

Saddlebrook was amazing. The staff is as friendly and helpful. Rooms are in the process of being updated. They had everything we needed. King size bed was very comfortable. Full size kitchen with all utensils needed. There was a review posted earlier by someone that had just had surgery and should have canceled their weekend trip. Go yourself and see how beautiful this property is. read more

Nice resort. The staff is very friendly and overall the grounds are clean. The rooms definitely need updating and it would be nice if they came with refrigerators we opened our dresser where the refrigerator should be in there was space for one but it wasn't there. The pool is nice and they have a DJ which was enjoyable to listen to during the day. They only have 2 outdoor hot tubs at the main pool- the good thing was they were hot the not so good thing was the water level was low and there were loose pieces of hardware at the bottom of 1 of them. The food is good. The chorizo shrimp tacos at TDs sports bar were amazing. They have nice little shops- boutique & golf. The breakfast buffet at TDs we weren't impressed with. The golf course is beautiful and the swap area with cypress trees is amazing. The alligator, birds, and turtles really added thAt extra something to the resort. They have ae ever all tennis courts that are in good condition. The pool is also beautiful. read more

Course is in horrible shape. Might want to invest in a hose to water the gras... rooms were in horrible shape with stale and nasty air. Front desk was clueless and everyone that I have spoken to has also been. I have 3 questionable charges on my account that I have been trying to speak with someone about for 3 weeks. I have left countless messages and am currently on hold and have been for 20 minutes. I will never be back and u suggest that everyone avoids this place like the plague. read more

I came with no expectations and was sorely disappointed! Only good thing was the staff, all of them were wonderful but the grounds not kept up since 1980. I don't think the restaurant floors have been mopped since then either. You have to pay $30 day for valet and then have no direct access to your car,have to get a cart to take you anywhere and tip them each time. Pools need redone, everything needs redone. Obviously they are in financial trouble and run on a skeleton crew ( who again are all great). We were at a trade show and I think every vendor there said if they had it there again no one would sign up. read more

We booked this "resort" through Hotwire. Hotwire has been hit or miss for us lately, so we were prepared to have a lesser quality room - even at a room approaching $200 for a night. We arrived at night and the drive in past the guard house appeared nice with great attention to the landscaping. Valet parking appeared to be mandatory. The walk from registration to our room (429) was easily 1/4 mile on dimly lit walkways. We were greeted upon entering with a large stain on the carpet and what appeared to be white blobs of plaster embedded in the carpet. It's pretty clear this place hasn't been updated in decades. The counters in the bathroom came up to our mid-thighs (we're average height) and I have never seen such a low toilet. Ever. We were both hungry, so we hiked over to the steakhouse (again along dark pathways). Upon arriving, we were told they were short staffed (on a Saturday night, definitely after any rush), and had to sit in the bar with some remarkably loud drunk people. The food was average. On the hike back to the room, we passed three people carrying a fourth person who was unconscious and snoring loudly. I am not joking about this. The next morning, on the hike back to valet parking, we passed lengths of toilet paper on the pathway, a rolled up sock and random trash (plastic cup, straw, paper) in the landscaping. Definitely not coming back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

BEWARE If I could rated it as zero I would have. I had a HORRIBLE experience from the start. Mind you, it's raining and we've been traveling for 12 hours. We had to wait in the cold and rain for a shuttle which we gave up on. Walked in the rain to the room which we could not get into because the keys didn't work. Had to walk back in the rain to get new ones. No apology was offered with the mess up on the keys. Walked back and entered the room. My wife and I have two full beds in a terribly dated room. UPDATE Unfortunately, it gets worse: Spider in the room Peeling popcorn ceiling No TV remote Light between beds doesn't work No mini fridge? Is that asking too much? Tried to call front desk to find out where we can get a remote but the phone doesn't work. I have no idea how they stay in business. read more

Was surprised and really disappointed at the condition of the rooms and Facilities of this resort. The resort has a great location by Tampa and charges as if it were a premier resort. The rooms are in poor shape, with wallpaper peeling off the walls, mold in showers, poor working AC units, old dining room, only 1 operating restaurant and pool bar, there's a cafe and bar closed. Generally, they have not invested in this resort in many years. Nothing in the resort is new, however, they charge for high end. The staff is courteous and apologetic for the condition. I was speaking to servers and staff who when asked why the hotel is so outdated, they said they keep hearing it's going to be remodeled and it never happens. What a shame, in the interim until new owners come in or they reinvest substantially, stay elsewhere. I would not recommend unless you are playing golf and not spending money there to stay overnight. See pictures. read more

Saddlebrook Resort - Stayed August 2017. Weeks before hurricane. Awful. - Resorts Near Me - Wesley Chapel, Florida

See all

Truly one of the worst, most disappointing experiences. My family and I all met at Saddlebrook for a reunion. Some traveled across the globe. The rooms were beyond dirty and outdated, room service was a non existent option, the staff were extremely unfriendly (besides Chester, who was absolutely wonderful!) and the food was wildly expensive, yet terrible. It took two days to get a crib despite the fact that we called ahead of check-in to ensure there would be one (or we would have stayed elsewhere). We were also assured multiple times the crib was coming when it never did. Our room was located all the way at the back of the resort, and despite calling, there was never anyone available to pick us up. It was quite an ordeal to trek to the main building with a one year old and suitcases. Parking is horrendous. The wait for valet is extensive. All in all, it was a stressful, challenging trip for us. I would never recommend anyone stay here. And as if it couldn't get worse, updating my review to say they just randomly charged us $100.00 three days after our trip. read more

My parents bought a condo at Saddlebrook, so I go there every year. As someone with years of experience at Saddlebrook, I'm telling you to not go unless you'll only be there for the tennis or golf. The photos on the website and spa brochures have seemingly not been changed once in my eighteen years of yearly vacations to Saddlebrook. The spa menus and the food menus have also seemingly not changed. Everything is priced at resort prices when it is definitely not worth that. The resort is more or less deserted unless it's Christmas. It seems like every year there's less and less people. Desire that, I've dined at Dempsey's and been the only group there and yet still had to wait. Often the restaurants will be closed. The gift shop and ladies's clothing shop in the lobby also often seem to be closed more often than they're open. In my experience, I haven't had many problems with staff. However, many of them are kids. In terms of noise, there are real issues. Our condo is right by the main pool. Seemingly every day, the DJ blares music from the pool, which can be irritating. At night, there are sometimes very rowdy and loud kids in the hot tub. When we've called about it, nothing was done. The walk from the main lobby to the hot tub is like two minutes. I mean, would it be that much of a hassle to walk down to the hot tub and ask the kids to take the party elsewhere? As others have mentioned, you can hear basically everything in your neighbor's rooms and the footsteps and flushing upstairs. There's always at least one cockroach in the room. I've never thought to call and ask for a drink voucher, but I'll be sure to do that the next time I'm dragged down there. They've been using the renovations excuse for years. In 2017, they said the renovations would be 70% done by the end of the year. Sure, there might have been renovations, but I can hardly tell a difference. So, congratulations on doing extensive renovations with little improvement? Why do you feel the need to mention the renovations in almost every reply when there's so many problems besides that? There is a real potential to see professional tennis players there. When I was younger, my brothers got to see James Blake there. I think my parents also happened to coincidentally get to play golf with him when their golf group just happened to include him. One of the big plus sides for me has always been the alligators. They're on the golf courses and outside the ponds. When I was little, there were chocolate alligators in the gift shop. Bring them back! read more

Very disappointed. Rooms dirty and dated. Moved us to 3 different rooms and none of them were touched by housekeeping. Although very apologetic, staff didn't seem to know what was going on. Grateful they refunded our money. Will not go back read more

Me & my boyfriend went for his birthday. It was nice but we paid about $350 online. We also paid a fee of $150 that they gave back but charged $98.50 after that. I don't understand why someone is getting charged that much when we already paid that much in the beginning. Also it was dirty, no one cleaned up, dishes & cups everywhere. We checked in the 10th & didn't get cleaned up until the 12th a day before we left lol. Oh & they charge almost $50 for breakfast. Also my bfs family got a uti from the pool. Also there were roaches. No microwave or fridge. read more

This property has so much potential, but our room was disgusting. Never been in a room so filthy and run down at a resort. Front desk staff, especially Cl****sa, are rude and should not be in customer service. Hopefully it survives, but I don't see how this place gets better without cleaning house and starting over. read more

A very picturesque property, beautiful golf courses. The rooms are a bit dated but they're renovating, so that's a good sign the property is being cared for. I didn't have a chance to dine at the resort. i love that all the rooms have a balcony, so that's a plus for me. I'll stay there again next year and will provide a follow up review. Gotta give new owners time to make improvements. read more

Not good so far, told me to park waited 25 minutes for a golf cart to help with luggage no one show up. Called golf cart number at resort for help no one picked. Lugged half the bags to the room, 2 golf carts passed me on the way called off help just drove by. Made another trip down to car to lug the rest of bags all the way back, still no help, stopped by the valet for help no one there. Made it to pool with help of golf cart to pick us because we are in the further lest section of the resort. Called for ride back on the way back from pool. Front desk said they would be there to help, waited 20 minutes no one showed up again so we walked back to room about a 15 minute walk with all the stuff they helped us lug down with daughter, she was tired so I had to get her back. Not busy all the wait staff by pool said they were slow will pick up tomorrow in terms of being crowded. Nice people but if they say they will help you to room and a ride will pick you up and they don't not good. Would not recommend this place for a weekend getaway. read more

Staying here for a work conference and upon check in, was given a room the farthest away from all the work events. So far that I have to call and request a golf cart to get back to the lobby/main area. Once getting to my room, it smelled musty and moldy. There were stains on the floor, a dead bug; cob webs on the lights and dust on the doors. I was so grossed out I refused to take my clothes out of my suitcase and actually checked for evidence of bed bugs (thankfully none of those). The water heater in the room makes dripping noises and I asked for it to be fixed but it's still happening. The room looks like it's from maybe the 60s with the only upgrade being white comforters. This hotel is so gross that it need hotel impossible or a health inspector to come through because it 100% needs a new hotel read more
