"Overall, we had a good experience at Horseshoe Bay Resort, largely thanks to the exceptional and friendly staff who were consistently helpful throughout our stay. The property itself is nice, with three pools to choose from—two of which stay open late, which was a big plus. The floating pool was a standout feature, though it did close earlier in the evening than we expected. We also really enjoyed the whitewater putting course, which was a highlight, but worth noting that it’s not included in the resort fee. The spa massages were relaxing and well done, but there is a mandatory 22% gratuity, so just be aware of that when booking. That said, there were a few drawbacks. The additional resort fee of nearly $50 per night was a bit of a surprise and adds up quickly. We stayed in the Palm Villas, and while the rooms were fine, they felt a little outdated—plus no blackout curtains and not the most comfortable pillows. The resort overall felt more geared toward families with kids or older guests, and we found the activities somewhat limited as a couple traveling without kids. We didn’t golf, which seems to be a big part of what makes this resort worth it, so I probably wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you plan to take advantage of that."

"Staff was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good but the same thing everyday."

"The stay was great, breakfast was fresh and hot. "

"Great house & property - would stay there again. It was girl's weekend - we enjoyed a whole day staying at the house & using the hot tub & pool. There was an issue with the back porch fans & they sent a maintenance guy right away & fixed them! My only suggestion would be to bring your own shampoo, condition & bath soap as they ones provided are very small."

"Breakfast was great; parking easy and we felt very safe - even walked around down the street a bit for exercise"

"Great Lake. Ore and comfortable patio. Kitchen had everything we needed and rooms were very homey. Will stay there again this summer."

"While the staff were helpful and friendly, the stay was terrible. We had to leave early because our experience was so bad. The room was so hot because they had the A/C turned off and it was 90° outside. Then, the mini fridge was completely frozen over and unusable. The walls were super thin, so we could hear EVERYBODY’S business. We got no sleep because of it. They gave us no shampoo or conditioner and the floors were sticky and the bath was disgusting. Do not stay here unless it is absolutely necessary."

"A super place with a great location and marvelous view. Our second time here and we will definitely be back"

"Nice!"
