I love that a big family owns and operates this ranch. They are all very friendly and accommodating. One of the nice ladies in the front office let me borrow her jacket to wear during the horse ride because an unexpected cool front came through. The BEST part was the cowboy breakfast outside. SO amazing- thick cut bacon, scrambled eggs,... More

My family and I went to the Mayan Ranch with our kids in March for Spring Break. We could not ask for a better experience and vacation. Anyone leaving less than a "5" rating is a loon! The Hicks family and made you feel welcome. The food was excellent and more than plentiful. My kids had a blast and did... More

My daughter (12) and I were in San Antonio for an army graduation. I decided to surprise her with a dude ranch visit. At the time I didn't realize there were other dude ranches in the area. I have to say this was the best part of our entire 8 day trip. We were only able to stay three days... More

The Mayan Dude Ranch is a great all inclusive place for a family reunion. We all had a wonderful time. March is the perfect time to go. Weather was perfect, cool mornings and evening, sunny during the day. This ranch is owned and operated by the Hicks family. They are experts at making everyone feel like part of their family....

We joined our daughter, her husband and two teenage sons for four days of horseback riding, hayrides, western dance lessons, a trick roper and three delicious meals a day. Entertainment for breakfast and dinner too. The American Plan includes a clean rustic cabin, all meals, and activities. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home.... More

This is my family's third stay and we love the place. You feel like family and that I think is the intent. I've read a couple "poor" reviews of the place. Frankly, these are either malcontents, curmudgeons or poorly informed to begin with regarding the experience one gets here. This place is an oasis. It is not a working cattle... More

This was the epitome of Texas Hospitality. Excellent place for business meetings. However, I will definitely be returning for rest and relaxation. The ranch is everything you could want in a cowboy environment. The food is fresh and delicious. Trails to ride, comfortable rooms with beautiful handmade quilts and all kinds of curios to explore.

We were made to feel very welcomed right from the word go. We stayed for 2 nights and wished we had stayed longer. The cabins were lovely. The main ranch lodge had everything you would want and you could wake up to deer wandering around your front door. The food was excellent, the drinks free flowing and the activites were... More
