Lake Austin Spa Resort

Heaven on earth. It’s one of many superlatives to describe our incredible four-night girls’ trip. It was an ideal spot to relax, reconnect, and indulge in luxury. The spa is world-class, and the treatments are incredible. We booked facials, massages, floating meditation sessions and intensive foot repair – we were so pampered that, while reluctant to leave, we left feeling relaxed, refreshed and recharged. The energizing fitness classes, yoga sessions and morning hikes were first-rate and allowed us to indulge in the fabulous organic, farm-to-table meals and the scrumptious desserts. The staff is exceptional and I wish I could remember everyone’s name but would like to give a shout-out to Michelle, Logan, Dave, Shana, Nette, Kathy, Bianca, Dennis, Cale and Renee as well as to everyone we interacted with while we were there. Next time I’ll be sure to write everyone’s name down, so I don’t forget. We are already planning a return visit – can’t wait. Thank you.

I recently celebrated my 50th birthday (June 27-29) at Lake Austin Spa Resort, and it was an unforgettable weekend! The staff were warm and welcoming, and we were among the first to try their new food menu-the Chili Herb Roasted Chicken was a standout. Big thanks to our amazing server, Maria. We enjoyed a morning hike with Doug and a relaxing wine cruise with Drew, whose stories about the lakeside homes brought the experience to life. The lakefront views were absolutely stunning! My only major hiccup was a billing error at checkout where I was charged again despite having prepaid with Chase Travel points. It's still being resolved, which has been a bit frustrating. A quick tip: doublecheck your final bill before leaving.

Disappointed – Not the Experience We Expected for the Price We stayed here hoping to relive the great experience we had back in February but this visit fell far short of expectations. For the price point (nearly $1,900 for our stay), we anticipated quality service and a welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, we encountered the opposite. It seems like management isn’t fully in control, several temp workers were on staff, and many of them appeared disengaged and uninterested in providing good service. What stood out the most was a disappointing interaction during dinner. We asked to make a few simple modifications to our meal, and a staff member named Stephane (possibly a manager) responded with unnecessary rudeness. It left a bad taste and made us feel more like a burden than a guest. To make matters worse, the salad bar was in poor condition, unappetizing and unkempt. Overall, the food was nowhere near the standard we experienced during our last visit, and certainly not what you’d expect from a high-end property. There are many other hotels and resorts in Austin with better food, friendlier service, and far better value. Sadly, we won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this location based on our latest experience.

I’ve been traveling to Lake Austin Spa Resort for years—since 1999! Every visit reminds me why it’s my favorite escape for a girls’ trip. This place is the perfect blend of personable, fun, and professional, making it the ideal spot to relax, reconnect, and indulge in a little luxury. From the moment you arrive, the resort’s peaceful, boutique atmosphere sets the tone. With only 40 spacious rooms, each facing the lake, you’re guaranteed a serene view and plenty of privacy. The beds are unbelievably comfortable, and the updated rooms and facilities make it easy to settle in and unwind. Each time I visit, I get THE BEST sleep! Wow! The spa is truly world-class. Our group booked a mix of treatments—from massages and facials to the new Leonor Greyl 11-step hair and scalp treatment (an absolute must-try!). The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, and waiting in the Blue Room before your treatment is pure bliss. The grounds are magical, with lush gardens, hammocks, and lake views everywhere you look. Between spa sessions, we lounged in our robes, caught up on life, and soaked in the tranquility. Dining here is a treat—think delicious farm-to-table meals enjoyed al fresco with the lake as your backdrop. We spent hours at dinner, laughing and savoring the moment. Lake Austin Spa Resort is the ultimate destination for pampering, play, and genuine connection. Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning guest like me, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, recharged, and already planning your next visit.🧖🏻‍♀️

Reflexology service - it was absolutely amazing. I cannot thank Ashley enough for providing such a wonderful experience. I am counting down the minutes until my return visit. Thank you again for everything, and cheers until next time!!!!
