Lajitas Golf Resort & Spa

Wife and I stayed two nights. Here are the highs and lows: High Points Location - unique "have to see it" location. Big Bend area is unlike anywhere else in Texas and anywhere else in the US for that matter. Golf Course - wide fairways, pristine greens, carts with GPS, friendly staff. Stunning views and vistas. Very friendly for most players, although there are a few holes with forced carries. Horse back ride - we started on a sunset trail ride with Evo. Rain shower came in fast and we ended up turning around after 30 minutes or so. While this doesn't sound like a "high point", Evo our guide was a great sport and did everything he could to make the experience positive. Staff - everyone we encountered was pleasant and seemed happy to be there. We spoke for a bit with one of the younger ladies who told us the resort recruits nationally for workers looking for a unique "work and stay" situation. Low Points Much of the resort is showing its age. We stayed in the Calvary Building and the walkway under the enclosed breezeway is crumbling. It's an accident waiting to happen. Room finish needs a refresh too - fresh paint, new furniture, etc. Our room had a small table - but no chairs. Nowhere to sit other than the bed. There were some patio chairs outside - ended up grabbing one. Parts of the exterior of the main building looking neglected too. Service on the golf course. I asked in the pro shop about buying beverages before going out. They said the turn house between and 2 and 10 was the only place to buy beverages. No beverage cart was out and they don't sell beverages in the clubhouse. So I waited till we finished 2 and tried to get a couple beers. Unfortunately, there was only one young lady working the turn shack and there was a group of 6+ golfers all ordering mixed drinks and hot dogs. My wait would have been 10+ minutes and thrown us behind pace. So I left and played the front 9 and #10 without an adult beverage. Minor thing - but when you are paying resort prices you expect resort service.,

We had an amazing golf trip! The course was in great condition. This was my third trip down to Lajitas and will not be my last. We flew JSX out of Dallas and couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience. There were eight in our group, we stayed in a couple of the cottages. These are perfect for group outings.

The sunrise horseback ride was amazing, Evo was a great guide and very knowledgeable. We appreciated info in places to go. Martina was awesome, very attentive and genuine, love her. Brook was always there for us when we had a question, very helpful and fun to banter with her.

We stayed here while visiting Big Bend NP which is about an hour drive. Our room had two large queen beds and a separate toilet and shower. The sink was in the bedroom area which caused a bit of congestion. Room had coffee maker and Direct TV. The property had an upscale restaurant, a saloon, and pizza shop/bakery. Two pools and laundry facilities in the adjacent RV park. Unique setting. Staff is super friendly.

Our family's trip to Lajitas Resort exceeded every expectation, thanks to outstanding service at every turn. Activity Booking Our decision to stay at Lajitas actually started before we even arrived — a phone call with the activity booking agent sealed the deal. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient as he helped us plan our stay. Check-In After a long drive, checking in was the perfect welcome to our vacation. The front desk staff member who greeted us was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable — a great first impression. Lodging Our cabin was clean, spacious, and dog-friendly, making it the perfect space for our 5-month-old lab to settle in comfortably alongside us. Food Boardwalk Bakery and Pizzeria had our business every single day of our stay. The coffee, kolaches, breakfast burritos, and pizza were all delicious, and the staff there were just as friendly as everyone else we encountered. Horseback Trail Ride The undisputed highlight of our trip was a sunrise horseback trail ride through Big Bend. My daughter, my father, and I were guided by Evo, an exceptional horseman. He was personable, funny, and a calm presence for us and the horses alike. He shared fascinating details about the local vegetation, the history of the area and resort, and pointed us toward "must-see" spots we never would have discovered on our own. The views were breathtaking, and he even captured stunning, frame-worthy photos of us that we'll treasure forever. This was, without question, the best trail ride we've ever taken — one of the true highlights of our lives, and something we'll never forget. From check-in to checkout, every part of our stay at Lajitas Resort was made better by the people who work there. We're already looking forward to our next visit.
