Very nice location on lake san marcos

The musty old smelly room I had to leave the doors open to make it bearable, old old place

Ask for a Lakeside room absolutely adorable place

Tranquility:) the location is perfect and welcoming definitely returning.

Great hotel

It was really clean and friendly staff

Very nice place

ANTS ANTS and more ANTS!!! In our BED!

Entire staff was helpful, courteous, and positive!

This property advertises itself as a family-friendly, "lux" resort. It is nothing more than a remodeled motel that sits next to a lake. On my second night, I was stalked outside in the parking lot and too scared to get out of my car and walk to my room. A suspicious man was walking around peering into cars and taking photos of cars, and waited for me to get out of my car. There is no safety measures at the resort. It is accessible by the public, meaning even the doors to our rooms are open access to any random person. I was so scared I didn't even sleep in the hotel. I went elsewhere. Tried to contact the hotel, but haven't heard back yet.

The waters in room were refilled with a foreign substance super dangerous

We loved our stay here! Best to get a room with a lake view. Room was very clean! Don’t forgwt to book a pontoon boat ride to enjoy the lake and try the Almalfi for drinks or dinner where they have live music. There is also a golf course nearby which is a plus. Overall great relaxing stay!

This was supposed to be a luxurious treat, but it was very basic. We could have gotten more bang for our buck elsewhere. Two people in a room need 2 chairs for non-sleeping hours, preferably standard height chairs. Not everyone is tall. Also, there are steps up and down everywhere without hand rails.
