Beautiful place, wonderful staff!

The staff is the best part. Everyone I encountered was excellent. The property is beautiful. I would choose a different room type to get a different building next time as there is a lot of noise from highway traffic that kept me awake. Would definitely go again but get a different room. Wish my stay had been longer to enjoy the amenities I was in Pecos building

Book a room here and enjoy a large, well appointed plot of land right on the Guadalupe. The rooms are situated in several buildings that are separated by driveways and lighted walkways. There is something for everyone- pool, volleyball, pickleball courts, basketball, cornhole, fire circles, Paddle Texas for kayaks, tubes and paddle boards (affordable) billiards, beers and coffee in the clubhouse, and even a well maintained 4 person barrel sauna so you can sweat it all out and then jump in the river or pool. Very friendly, responsive staff. There are two buildings that face away from the river towards the main road that may offer bargain prices but see if you can book something in the rooms in the buildings closer to the river. Hacienda is right on a major highway so you’ll hear traffic noise but it is not that noticeable except during rush hours. Highly recommend!
