Village by the Sea
Indoor and outdoor pools plus a proper game room
About this hotel
Village by the Sea runs a condo-resort format with both indoor and outdoor pools, a rare double on this list alongside a proper game room that gives the property a distinctly family-friendly character. A fitness center covers a morning workout before golf, and a business center suits anyone working between rounds. Wells sits roughly seven minutes away by taxi for dining and shopping variety, and Fisherman's Catch Restaurant is a short taxi ride for a casual seafood dinner. Accessible and kid-friendly throughout, the resort suits a multi-generation golf trip particularly well. Air conditioning covers the summer months, and the combination of two pools and a game room is what makes the resort a genuine option for the non-golfers in a group, not just the golfers.

Our take
A strong pick for a multi-generation family golf trip where not everyone plays every single round, thanks to the game room and dual pools keeping non-golfers happily occupied. Couples or golf-focused buddies trips without kids in the group may find the resort's family-oriented amenities go largely underused during the stay.
- Use the game room on a day when part of the group golfs and part does not; it fills the gap well.
- Alternate between the indoor and outdoor pools depending on the day's weather rather than picking just one.
- Book the short taxi to Fisherman's Catch Restaurant for a seafood dinner at least once during the stay.
Why we love it
- Both indoor and outdoor pools
- Proper game room on site
- Fitness center included
- Multi-generation friendly layout
Why guests love itA multi-generation family split time between the course and the resort's two pools, with the game room keeping the non-golfing grandkids occupied while the adults played. The short taxi to Fisherman's Catch Restaurant became the group's dinner spot for a seafood night out, and having both an indoor and outdoor pool option meant the weather rarely dictated the day's plans. It was one of the more genuinely family-friendly stays on the list.
