Lacking but adequate.
So close but no cigar... I say this because the reception staff could have made a bigger impact knowing this was my 1st stay. They could have educated me about what is included in my stay, where to go for activities, how to sign up up, etc.. etc.. but they failed miserably. I had to discover them for myself and missed out on fun activities after the fact. The only staff that cared more about me and my well visit was the pool staff. I found the grounds to be in great condition and free of litter but I was quite surprised by the lack of care to the carpet in my room as it seemed quite dirty and stained. The room really needed some upgrades to bring it into the age of electronics. It just seemed a little lacking but if you overlook these things, it was an peaceful place to stay.

Great Overall With A Few Nits & A Huge Resort Fee
Delightful "little" unknown resort on a lake in San Marcos. Quiet, plenty of scenic walking options, restaurant choices, and the room was large clean and bright. A few areas to note: $80 resort fee was over-the-top excessive (unless you were canoeing, playing golf or paddle boarding); the water pressure was low (last I checked, the drought was over); only one sink in the bathroom (for a resort that caters to vacations for couples/families, there should be two); was asked if I wanted daily maid service (I said yes), and then my towels were not replaced and neither was my in-room coffee. Small things, I know, but overall I enjoyed my stay would definitely return.
