    excellent service
    beautiful grounds
    unclean carpets
    spider webs
    lack of bathtubs

    The resort boasts excellent customer service and beautifully maintained grounds, with a fitness center that is top-notch. However, the cleanliness of the carpets left much to be desired, making walking barefoot uncomfortable. Spider webs were prevalent in several areas, including our patio, requiring us to clean before using it. The lack of bathtubs in family-friendly rooms was disappointing, especially with a young child who struggled with the shower.

    s'mores kit
    family-friendly pools

    Family will love this place!

    We had a great s'mores kit handed to us upon check-in, which really set the mood for our stay. The pools were very nice and. Lots of family fun there.

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but I guess one names their price for quality.

    full-service marina
    breathtaking views
    cool pool water

    We had a fabulous time at the resort, especially with our little one enjoying the nearby full-service marina! We explored Lake San Marcos and made precious memories kayaking on the serene waters while soaking in breathtaking views. The accommodations were spacious and comfy for all of us.

    My wife says that the water temperature in the pools could be warmer, especially for little kids wanting to splash around.

    An Unforgettable Birthday Getaway

    Celebrating my birthday here was incredible! The room was immaculate, with a special champagne surprise waiting for me. The breakfast buffet at Decoy Restaurant is a must-try—rich flavors and comforting options set the tone for the day. Tip, Make sure to ask about their specials when you arrive!

    fire pits
    outdoor pool
    dim lighting

    Nothing beats lounging by the outdoor pool or kicking back in our comfy room with a view! The only thing to watch out for is the dim lighting, which could use a little boost. 🌅

    disorganized check-in

    great stay, but not without a few hiccups

    The staff made our stay exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The complimentary activities like the driving range and paddle boats were a delightful addition to our experience.

    The check-in process was slightly disorganized, leading to a longer wait than expected.

    complimentary s'mores
    insufficient shelving

    The complimentary s'mores kit by the fire pits was a delightful touch!

    The bathroom lacked sufficient shelving, making it difficult to organize personal items.

    cozy fire pits
    delicious dining
    beautiful lake views
    standard room

    We had such a great time with beautiful lake views and loved the cozy fire pits where we enjoyed making s'mores. The dining at Decoy was delicious, especially the salad and soup! Our room, while standard, had no bathtub, just a view.
