    Crossbow Archery at Lajitas Resort
    I booked the Crossbow Archery 1 hour shoot for my 24 year old son with some experience in the sport. The range had 3D foam animal targets...a white mountain goat at 80 yards, a red stag at 50 yards and a mountain goat at 40 yards. The range also had a wooden bench/table for shooters and or guests to sit on. His instructor, a very down to earth and laid-back guy, provided instructions on Crossbow use, safety instructions including loading the bolts, and removing them from the targets. The instructor offered to load the bolts if needed. The bow required a bit of site adjustment and precise loading, however once it was set up, my son was very proficient and really had alot of fun. For those looking for a new activity, we would recommend giving this a try.

    Oct 2020 Visit
    I had visite the Lajitas resort a few years ago and stayed in the main building. My recollection is that it was ok, no real issues. My recent visit was not ok. They have a number of buildings they can put you in. We were put in the Calvary Post building, across the street from the main building. The outside of the building and grounds were nicely kept. The room was not. It was in bad shape, like a worn out Motel 6. Cracked caulking, wood resin bleed thru paint, wall in bathroom looked terrible. The bed was nice. There was no wifi and both ATT and Verizon had an only 1 bar signal. Now they claim that they don't advertise that they have wifi, but what hotel in these days and times doesn't have it. If you go into the main building and only a few feet from it you can get a signal. Since many people work when on vacation and in general need to keep in contact with others, not having wifi is inexcusable. At minimum they should state on the website they only have it in limited areas. Everyone at the building we were in that we talked to complained about it. The dinner was another disaster, both nites we were there. The first night we ordered very simple plates, and it took over an hour to get our food. The next night it was over 40 minutes. We talked with a small business group and one night they went in for dinner they did not get food after 2 hours and left. If you need to stay connected to the world, do not stay here. They do have some great ziplines.

    Service better than facility
    We stayed here one night on our way to Big Bend, in a Standard King on the second floor. Like many of this historic hotels in that region, there was no elevator, but at least the people at the front desk jumped to help us lug our suitcases up the long flight of stairs. The place was older than I thought it would be, but our room was fine and our wifi worked. The bed and shower were good and there was a TV (another thing not every historic hotel has). However, the experience was marred by the location of the bed, which was in direct line with the AC vent. Despite calling maintenance, there was just no way to adjust it without closing the vent entirely. So, since it was 95 degrees outside, we opted for a fitful night of cold air blowing on our heads. Also, the water out of the tap wasn't cold because, I was told, the pipes are above ground and on hot days (of which there are many), the water just doesn't get cold. No problem, though, because the front desk was happy to quickly send us more cold bottled water. The bar and restaurant were full on the Monday night and the atmosphere was lively and pleasant. However, do NOT get the crab cakes! They were like pureed crab meat shaped into patties and then deep fried! Ugh. The Ceasar salad was nondescript and the charcuterie plate unavailable because the truck hadn't come in that day. The tuna, chicken and fruit salads at the Mercado/Bakery were better. Our room was discounted because we booked a round of golf. The course was scenic and playable for even a high-handicapper like me. The only big problem was that there was no drinking water on the course (due to Covid), the restrooms only had hot water out of the tap, no cart girl came by with drinks, and they only gave us two bottles of water each for 18 holes. (Did I mention it was 95 degrees?) And, since the layout of the course never allows you to drive back past the golf shop to grab another bottle, we were stuck with what we had. When I mentioned my frustration to the pro at the end of our round, he - without hesitation - said he would refund our money. That was appreciated and certainly unexpected.

The beds were really comfy. The room was clean but in need of some minor repairs. Our room overlooked the golf course and the golf course itself was really beautiful. This is an oasis in the desert!! The only unpleasant experience was at the Candallia Cafe. We had reservations at 7 PM and it took around 5 minutes to be seated and then we were never greeted or waited on. We were there for a total of 20 minutes, so we left and went to the Starlight Theater for dinner. Overall our stay was good.

Lajitas Resort offers a supreme golf course maintained at an excellent level. Other activies include horseback riding, skeet shooting, and zip lines. Our gourp of 22 guys from Dallas thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there. The golf staff is especially helpful. The head golf pro Matt Rippy + staff organized our tournament and scorecards. Great 3 day guys golf get away.

Lajitas Golf Resort was very peaceful and had nice accommodations. we originally booked a room in the main hotel “The Badlands” but I change it to a la Cuesta deluxe king. When we checked in there were some issues with that room and they gave us a complementary upgrade to the deluxe cabin behind the Calvary Post. It was absolutely perfect. Well almost perfect. There were a couple of scorpions but that my friends is the desert 🌵 Amanda was the manager on duty and she did a great job. She provided great guest services and she really seemed to care about the guest experience. We also used the spa services with the Desert Escape Package and it was very good! Kat was my massage therapist and she was so talented! We had also signed up to do horseback riding and zip lining but it was still a bit too hot so we canceled those activities. Gives us a reason to come back! The whole resort felt like a little community and my husband and I had an amazing time. We will definitely be coming back!

We love Lajitas Golf Resort. We go a couple of times a year. The staff here is friendly and amazing. The beds are super comfy. We golf each time, because the golf course here is phenomenal. It is very hot in August...if you are not used to the heat, you might choose later in the fall. The pool is always great after golfing. And, previously, the food her was terrible, BUT they have hired a new chef and have a new menu. The food was EXCELLENT! We had the venison and it was delicious. West Texas is it's own beautiful, and this place is an oasis in the desert.

We did not stay at Lajitas, although it looked very nice. My kids and I did ziplining there and it was fantastic. We did the Quick Silver tour. It was a blast. Both my kids and I enjoyed it. The guides were also very friendly and very safety conscious.

We had a wonderful time at the resort. Beautiful views of the Big Bend area. I would give the staff 5 stars, they were excellent. The food was also amazing. If you are looking to go to Big Bend, but are not a camper, this is a good place to stay. The couple things that made me give it only 4 stars. One was the refrigerator was broken in our room. This should always checked by staff before giving the room to a guest. Two, the hot water in the shower is a little on the cool side. Third, and I am not sure if this actually owned by resort or if they have some control over this, but the gas station that is located at the resort charges at least $2 more per gallon than any other gas station in the area. Gas up before you get to the resort.
