Mission Resort + Club - Howey-In-The-Hills, Florida

This place is very dated. Some of elevators are out of order. Dryer for guests, out of order. Snack machines are low. Soap for washer, out of order. Layout of golf course is good but it is neglected and looks terrible. Beds are comfy and plenty of hot water. Food has been excellent but service is slow. I don't think they have put any money in this place for a long time.

The building was charming but older. Renovations were being done on parts of the building. The tennis courts were not the best view but the restaurants were fabulous. Enjoying tea outside near the hacienda was very cozy.steve was phenomenal... My towels didn't show up despite the concierge sharing consider it done.. doesn't matter I walk back in and Steve had them in 30 seconds. He was happy to assist at car unloading, valet, and just everywhere I turned... The man was a one person army. Ann Maria on the phones was such a sweet heart... We arrived right before the Porsche convention at the hotel and in the middle of a hurricane evacuation which despite the chaos everything at the hotel felt so calm and peaceful.

We we're here for a wedding, and before the big event we went to have lunch. We were also exploring the area while also finding a restaurant, and on the way we stopped by the game room to check it out and play some pool. On the way we dipped out feet in the pool, and admired the beautiful scenery. The buildings are older, but beautiful none the less. However, that wasn't even the best part!! The food at the restaurant was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.. We ordered food while staying at the game room, and they brought the food to us!! Oh, and I can't forget, everyone's so nice! Waiters, servers, you name it! While I do wish the rooms were bigger, it was a beautiful place nonetheless.

P.S. For the critter loving people, you'll love it here too!

Mission Inn is an excellent place for vacation , or business. There has recently been a change in ownership, new owners have introduced some nice improvements, rooms, restaurants etc. The reservation team, headed by Ms Ann Marie Peter is still exceptional, professional and 100% customer service oriented, and always make my trip a wonderful experience.|A new addition in the La Margarita Restaurant is the chef Carl, his goal is to totally please with everything he prepares, and this he has done-2 days in a row now. The waitress Jasmine is perfect for her job, courteous, polite, & professional. The La hacienda restaurant always goes up and behond to make breakfast a great way to start the day. The servers are excellent.|Always great things to say after and during a trip.|Richard

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida, after they generously donated a weekend stay for Franklin’s Friends. As long-time supporters of this incredible organization, we are deeply appreciative of the resort’s support.

The Mission Inn is truly a hidden gem. From the moment we checked in until the moment we left, we were greeted by some of the nicest folks we’ve ever encountered. It felt like stepping back in time 50 years, with everyone saying please and thank you, smiling, and offering warm greetings.

Although the physical plant is 60 years old, it is impeccably maintained—one of the cleanest hotels we’ve ever stayed in. The level of cleanliness at this resort is remarkable, and it’s clear that the staff takes great pride in maintaining the property. The resort beautifully blends its rich history with modern amenities, creating a unique and comfortable experience.

The property itself is stunning, with easy access to golf, Pickleball, and tennis. We spent much of our time playing Pickleball and enjoying the gorgeous golf course. Despite the luxurious experience, the prices are very reasonable, making it accessible for a wide range of visitors. (I truly cannot understand another reviewer’s comment about money. Yes, you should expect to spend some cash but compared to other “resorts” with analogous amenities, this place is an absolute bargain).

With several dining options on the property, we never felt the need to leave. We enjoyed all of our meals at the resort, and the quality of the food was outstanding. The dinner restaurant, in particular, offered a great wine selection that perfectly complemented the meals. The service at this resort is as good as it gets—simply outstanding.

After a weekend here, we left feeling completely refreshed and free of the pressures of daily life. The Mission Inn is an absolute treasure in Central Florida, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

The facility is old-which on some levels is very neat. On other levels… less so. Our room struggled to get cool. Steve was super helpful transporting us around and bringing towels. It was harder to figure things out with other staff, like how to order food poolside. The breakfast buffet was great! The pool was too warm to be refreshing, even in early May. The swings, playground, and outdoor games made for fun kid additions.

My dad and I played both courses and stayed one night at the resort. Both courses were in great shape and definitely my favorite out of any in FL. I highly recommend El Campeón because of the layout and the elevation changes.

The resort was a different story. It was clean and service was great, but the rooms are outdated. The food was 9/10 at Margaritas. Overall it was a great weekend with my Dad on Father’s Day weekend.

Purchased a Buffet Ticket for 2 for Sunday brunch. Paid via online, then the web page says call to confirm. We did. Left a voice mail. Long story, called Sun am and they had seating at 1400! Some Brunch, the guy I was talking to thought I booked in CA? Recommend that you are careful in booking the Sun Brunch! Very bad custom relations, actually non existed!
