About
Recreation center with a pool, fitness center, meeting rooms, and classes such as line dancing.
The pools at Laurel Manor Pool & Recreation Center are generally heated. While daily temperatures may fluctuate slightly, The Villages' pools are typically maintained at a comfortable temperature, often around 82-84°F (28-29°C) during cooler seasons to allow for year-round swimming.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews provide a mixed perspective on the facilities. Positive aspects include beautiful and functional recreation centers with large spaces, a pleasant and uncrowded pool often frequented by friendly regulars, and excellent, helpful, and friendly staff at the gym. The gym equipment is well-maintained, and the area is clean and well-lit. However, significant drawbacks include a problematic guest pass system that hinders access for non-residents, instances of unfriendliness reported in some classes (e.g., line dancing), and criticism regarding the gym's high cost relative to its basic offerings, lacking amenities like towel service, steam rooms, or instructors, especially when compared to free access in other gated communities.

Computer says no syndrome, the villages guest pass system is not fit for purpose, do not rent here and expect to use facilities irrespective of what your air bnb rental says

The building facilities is beautiful and very functional. I was in a line dance class and had fun until one of the class members told me this class was not for me. Evidently there is an ultra beginners class and was then told I was to take before the beginners class. hmm not a very friendly group of peoples.

I've always liked this pool. Today at 4 it was not crowded. I was able to get a lane right away. You see many of the same visits each day so it feels friendly.

Under the leadership of Mr. Thomas Moore the staff at the gym are great. Ginny, Jack, Tom, Steve are very friendly and helpful. The equipment is maintained in very good condition and the area is clean and well lit. On the down side is the cost. It's not a gym with towel service or steam room or instructors it's really just a room with gym equipment. I have been to other gated communities were residence were able to use the gym for free.
