Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort

This COULD be a gem. Beautiful surroundings, golf course, kids pool, fire-sites at night…the problem is inconsistency. It’s impossible to get hold of anyone in the restaurant to book a table, the menu is laughable - few menu items that are all contrived (trying to be a top steakhouse), and overpriced, yet the service, presentation and food is TERRIBLE. Reheated baked potatoes, two sirloins that were tough, sinewy and had to be sent back twice. A hostess who shook her hear when we changed our request from a booth to a table. A cocktail drink that was forgotten. If they simplified the menu, added items that were less grandiose and employed a manager that wasnt past his sell-by date this place would be magic. The golf course was mediocre at best, yet wanted $125 green feed for hotel patrons, ok by NY standards but this is small town Texas! (Check the course reviews, patchy) The rooms were a good size, furniture tired though and bathrooms were circa 1980’s. The pool was great but staff turned up when they felt like it (they were required for tye slide so we as parents eventually figured it out) and we never saw a barman despite a well stocked fun looking bar. This really is a diamond in the rough-as my wife said, a resort wannabe staffed by untrained country folk…nothing wrong with that, they were all friendly, just untrained…i had to assist with opening of the $95 french pinot noir and advise the waitress who to let taste, etc. Owners, call me & i’ll turn this around in 6 months

Nice experience. Could hear children running upstairs for extended period of time. May want to consider a couples only housing unit.

Beautiful property. Great golf. Hill country. Gorgeous scenery. Only negative - Lots of families - with young kids. Upstairs room noise and pools dominated by kids. Still, would go back.

Beautiful property set in the Texas Hill Country with a good 18 hole golf course, fire pit, children and adult pool as well as games and movies for the kids on the weekends. The property was clean and in good working order but is getting a little tired and could use a remodel. We had fun and it is well priced!

Our room was clean.. rooms need updating, especially bathrooms, not a huge deal. We had a balcony with 0 view because their trees/plants blocked 90% of it. We could maybe see the sky. My kids loved the swimming pool area.. although hard to get in because key cards never worked the pools were nice. This place definitely needs a third pool.. it was very crowded. We reserved this resort with the intention to at least play a round of golf but when me and my husband tried to schedule a T-time for the following morning.. the guy seemed lost like we were asking a super difficult question. He said it was extremely full because of Memorial Day weekend, understandable. He stated the only available t-times were from 2pm and on. He suggested we just use their practice area, so we didn’t schedule anything and stayed in the shop to look at merchandise. The 2 ladies behind us walk up to the counter next, he then tells them the next morning is full like he told us but proceeds with “but I’m sure I can squeeze yall in if you show up about 8:30 or 9am” I’m in disbelief. We were standing there, we were still visible but he didn’t care. Extremely unprofessional.

Great resort in an amazing location for a weekend family getaway. The room was very nice and the pool area was great for the kids. That being said, the rooms could use an update. Everything was clean but looked old, specially the bathrooms. Breakfast buffet was overpriced, basically the same breakfast you would get at a Holiday Inn but in a fancier presentation. If it was included it would be great but at $20pp it is not worth it. At the price point, in general it exceeded our expectations and we would definitely come back. Plenty to do in the area as well.

Overall, our stay was good. We really liked the family friendly atmosphere and the pool was fantastic. The pool area and the lobby/restaurant area are modern and offer a classy, hill country vibe. The rooms could use some updating and feel dated. The housekeeping does not come by your room until you checkout so there’s no daily service. There is no room service and the hotel only has one restaurant so you’ll get tired of eating there after a couple days. Overall, it was a really good stay and I would recommend it for a couple day, family getaway.

Weekend family wedding. The personnel was very good in putting family members close together so visiting each other was convenient .

The service at the restaurant on property was awful. The food took forever and it was way more expensive than it was worth. The entire spa, fitness center and pools were closed, despite the ads about it being "Newly renovated," and "now open." We were not notified of this prior to maming rhe non-refundable payment, or when we checked in. We were not told until we had to specifically ask about the spa hours. The morning of check out, housekeeping came into our room twice, at 8am and 10am. Well before check out time. Both times they knocked and immediately opened the door without waiting for a response. My toddler almost ran out the door. All of these bad experiences overshadow anything good.

Tapatio Springs is a resort in which George Straight is the owner, which is something I found out after booking which told me I was definitely going to be able to expect a nice country club resort. As soon as we drove up to resort we loved the scenery and the vibe resort had to offer. Great rooms amd amenities. Staff is very friendly. Asked for towels and we’re at my door within minutes! Awesome golf course. Great outdoor pool with bar as well, great for the couples and kiddos. Definitely coming back!
