Restaurant disappointed

Our stay was good, but it was very hot and hence it was their off-season. It was nice in that the place was quiet and peaceful. I loved the massage, and it was reasonably priced and included the tip. My husband loved the golf course. The grounds are also very nicely maintained. My only complaint was the fancier restaurant on property and their pricing. The prices are high to begin with but when we asked for more bread, we were not told that they would charge $11 for a very small loaf (the 1st loaf came with our meal). If they would’ve let us know that, we would not have asked for more bread as it was not worth $11. I asked if they had a side salad to order with my meal. The waiter said they did not but that they could split their salad entree on 2 plates for my husband and me. We were also not told that they would charge an additional $6 to put the same salad on 2 plates! I felt that charge was ridiculous being that we were already paying a hefty price for our 2 enteees and had ordered drinks. I would have appreciated being told of these additional charges.

Failed to indicate white water rafting not available in summer, room awkwardly outdated and tight. Staff very friendly. Weather wiped out star gazing, horseback riding and hot springs. Food mediocre. Pretty much a washout accept for the amazing vistas of Big Bend National Park which we were allowed access to even with flooding

It was really like a 4.5. The resort was a great little oasis in the middle of desert. We were doing a couple days in Big Bend and needed a base camp. The kids loved the pool and the beds were comfortable and soft. The restaurant onsite was great! All the staff we interacted with were great! AC in the room worked wonderfully! Would definitely stay again if ever back in the area.

Very limitted dining unless you want to pay $70 for a steak. Our first night a racoon ran in front of us on the property boardwalk and then ran onto the tree. Bats are flying over your head every night and are scary when they fly down towards you.

We were disappointed by several aspects of our 3-day stay. First, there was no elevator access to the second floor, which made carrying luggage difficult. Second, the toilet in our bathroom was constantly running. We reported the issue twice, but unfortunately, no one ever came to fix it. Lastly, although the hotel advertises a pool, it’s not on-site—you have to cross the road to another part of the property to access it, which was inconvenient.
