My wife and I went. We had a great visit. They showed us all the amenities and even drove us in the golf cart to show us some of the outside amenities. They did have a choice of villas and apartments, which was nice. Villas are small houses, but they also use the dining facilities and all of the amenities. So that was a nice option to have. I think this one was a little older, and you could see a little wear and tear in the amenities. There weren't too many people using them. They had everything, pool rooms, card rooms, meeting rooms, and theater. The two-bedroom apartment I thought was too small for us. It didn't seem nearly as nice as other places we've seen. The villas were very nice. You have to go back and forth to the main building, but that's okay if you're independent. We did have lunch there with one of the residents, which was very nice to get their input. So, lunch was good. They had a great menu. I thought that you could choose if you didn't like the two specials they had that day. Then we met the chef and they can accommodate various dietary problems. We don't have any, but it's good to know.

It is a nice facility in a nice setting. The rooms are nice. I have an apartment here, and it's very comfortable. The staff is nice and the meals are good. We have a gym and meeting rooms. We have a library and a computer room. We have a chaplain on duty here. We have a shuffleboard court, croquet, a pool table, and a movie theater. The staff seems to be attentive and they seem to be compassionate.

Our tour experience with Water Edge of Lake Wales was very good. They explained the place to me very well. I saw a studio apartment with a kitchenette that was unfurnished. So, you have to furnish it. The amenities were great. They had a library, a hobby shop, and the place was very clean. It was like a luxury hotel.

It is big. It's considerably more expensive but it seems to have every amenity that you could want. My mom has her own apartment as opposed to a smaller room, and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. You just couldn't ask for a better place.
