Lake Austin Spa Resort

Nicest people you could meet. Clean and fun activities. Great water stuff. Only complaint is that the alcohol charges are out of control. A 3 oz glass of cheap champagne is $30. Not nice. So bring your own. Other than that I recommend!

Absolutely the most relaxing and beautiful spa to truly unwind, enjoy activities you most likely have never done (Japanese swords?), or simply recoup and be pampered. Lake Murray will "carry you away" for sightseeing or you can paddle boat through the quiet water with only the sound of birds coming from the forest across the way. You will love the staff, the food, the spa and always remember your entire experience at this lovely resort!

Average spa and resort—overpriced for what it is. The resort is not cheap. I came with 2 girlfriends and got a hot tub cottage with 2 queen beds. The room was fine, not as big as expected. But for $3600/night, we expected a certain level of service which was unfortunately lacking. Our suspicion is that since there is no tipping, there is no incentive for staff to provide good service. Even the manager, Dennis, seemed to lack hospitality training. Pros— -the food was exceptional for an all inclusive -the fitness classes and instructors were very good. We especially liked Jackie and her cardio drumming class Cons— -as mentioned above, the service was lacking throughout. Waiters at dinner not being knowledgeable about the menu. Waiting >30 mins to get our order taken when sitting for a meal. -the spa services were mediocre at best. One of our friends had a terrible experience with her therapist doing very Jerky movements during the Swedish massage -the common areas were not well maintained. There were spider webs everywhere and mold on the pool floats -we called to ask for an iron or steamer to our room and it never arrived after an hour and multiple calls to the front desk -our room was cleaned but not vacuumed (copious amounts of sand still on the ground) and trash cans not emptied -they have free prosecco for guests in the lobby (which was never offered to me at check in). But upon asking for a glass during my stay, Dennis the manager let out an audible sigh and begrudgingly filled a glass. Since that time, the bottle had been moved. -the wine down cruise was not worth it. They give you a tumbler of a glass of wine and trail mix on the cruise (which is free in the lobby anyways). The cruise at other times of the day was complimentary but the wine down in the evening is $95/person. So you are essentially paying for a $95 glass of wine. I’d take your own drink on and do it for free at another time during the day. All in all, it was a good stay with college friends but it was definitely overpriced for what it was.

My stay was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, every detail reflected the highest level of comfort, elegance, and hospitality. The accommodations were beautifully appointed, the service was impeccable, and the overall experience exceeded every expectation. I genuinely cannot think of a single complaint. This was a truly luxurious and memorable stay, and I look forward to returning in the future.

From the time I reserved our rooms to the moment we drove off the property, LASR never missed an opportunity to exceed my expectations. Tucked away off the beaten path, it felt worlds away from the city. The food is excellent, the beds comfortable, and there were ample opportunities to participate in a group exercise class, a cooking demo, water activities, or just relax by the pool or in one of the many quiet nooks or "parlors". This was my second trip and I will definitely be back. The spa was exceptional as well. I don't believe I've been to another spa with a menu of services as broad as LASR. Plan on spending several hours at the spa. Have lunch at the cafe, relax by their pool, and hang out in the serene Blue Room. Don't forget your swim suit so you can take a dip in the whirlpool or sit in the steam room. This was the perfect setting for a team trip. There are activities that appeal to everyone whether they are looking for something athletic or just want to relax. We regrouped nightly at dinner to share the day's discoveries. My team will work even harder the rest of the year to be rewarded with another trip to LASR. Our patients will also benefit as my team aspires to treat them with the same exceptional and perceptive service that we received at LASR.
