Went here for a friend’s 40th birthday. It just needs a bit of a facelift. Air conditioning unit in the lounge dropped onto my head. Beautiful setting. Services were fine. Food was extremely overpriced and took a long time to arrive. Staff tried their best.

I am a professional woman from Atlanta and came for a girls' 5 day weekend. Imagine 5 star service at your own private lake house. It must be a high staff to guest ratio. It's so quiet here! It's all-inclusive of food, exercise and cooking classes and water sports. So many classes! We took morning stretch, kickboxing, and yoga. And so many unique private spaces for journaling, reflection, meditation. The staff bend over backwards to help you get everything you need. The rooms are large clean, spacious, and plenty of storage. There are outdoor and indoor dining options and live music. There is an herb and vegetable garden to explore and from which most of the meals are prepared. Snacks and drinks always available,including cappuccino w oat milk; luxurious towels for the pool chairs and cabanas. And plenty of seating around both pools. The second pool is on the spa side- cute cafe and shop. I had a 90 minute massage w Chris, lavender scrub and wrap w Karina and Hydrafacial w red light, all of which I recommend. The hot tub and showers there are delightful and the "blue room" is another quiet retreat for contemplation as you await your treatments. We walked and saw butterflies, snails, lizards, Egyptian geese, cardinals and an abundance of well- maintained wildflower landscaping by Jackie:) There was so much to do or not do! For a lake- side retreat, there also was VERY little evidence of water damage except maybe in the treehouse for those of you who are mold sensitive. Tips: dress is casual, think: lake house and exercise. At the spa, dress is bathing suit and white robe and sandals they provide you. They don't allow cell phone use around the property- yay! And your key is on a wrist band so you don't need a purse or wallet or anything! It's very freeing.…

The resort was exquisite with beautiful landscaping. The rooms were spacious and immaculatey keep , well done to the housekeepers .I had the best massage I’ve ever had at the spa , my masseuse Teri had 27 years of experience and it shows . I had a deep cleansing facial which was performed by another professional skilled lady , it left my face feeling sensational. We took the wine cruise which was lovely and our captain Evan was well informed and personable making it a wonderful experience. There are 3 pools that were all kept at a pristine standard and there were plenty of towels and places to relax . The food was at a 5 star standard and there was a nice selection of wine and drinks, making our whole experience extremely enjoyable, I look forward to returning as soon as possible. …

What makes Lake Austin Resort a great place to be is the environment and the people. The commonality is that they always work hard and grow together to create a holistic and inviting atmosphere. It's a time capsule where you can come and restore balance and wellness.

I am fortunate that I have stayed at Lake Austin Resort & Spa in the past and my stay was fantastic! However, my most recent trip far exceeded my expectations! JoAnn Lenhardt has completely transformed the resort in the two years she has been the GM. New furniture around the main pool, the abundance of seating and places to relax around the resort, and all of the exquisite touches around the property are noticeable and definitely appreciated! It’s like the entire property has had a makeover! Lake Austin Spa and Resort is truly world class destination and I can’t wait to go back!

I just moved to the area and have been eager to try out their spa. My grandmother and uncle came into town from Utah so we went as a group of 4 to get lunch, massages, and swimming in. Lunch was fresh, yummy, and the service was great and so friendly. The server was attentive and quick. After lunch we got ready for our massages. Locker rooms were clean and the spa attendant was helpful as our grandma uses a walker and needed space for changing. The upstairs lounge was accessible via elevator and all the restrooms were large enough for her to maneuver well. Massages all began on time and the lounge was warm and relaxing. After our massages our grandma got into the pool to do her swimming workout in for the day which was great and it was rainy so we got into the outdoor hot tub in the light rain which was beautiful. I’m excited to come back for outdoor activities and hammock near Lake Austin. …

My daughter and I just returned from the best mother daughter spa trip at Lake Austin Spa. The river location is so peaceful and ideally located. We cannot wait to return. The staff cradled us with peacefulness, joy, health and heart happiness. You will find guests (us!) in the dining room in their bathrobes, hair filled with oil from spa treatments and tummies filled with some of the best food I’ve ever had by French Chef Stéphane Beaucamp. Highly recommend the 30 hr slow cooked ribs! The staff is so friendly, Aly was our server most of the time and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The absolute best massage for me was by Nick who I recommend for those of you that love a firmer massage as well as Gregg and my daughter loved Chris and highly recommends him. Billy Yamaguchi is in resident there as lead hairstylist for 3 days of the month who we loved as well. The beds are so comfortable we purchased the pillows! We will be back as soon as we can!…

In early March I experienced a back injury that caused sciatica. The pain was so bad that I could barely get out of bed and walk! I had heard of the unique experience of a myofascial release to help with this injury from a friend. Luckily, I live in Austin as, Lake Austin Spa is one of the few places in the world that offers this amazing experience. Once my doctor cleared me to receive this service I booked an appointment with Monica. It has been a week since my appointment, and I have been pain free! When I arrived at the spa I was greeted by the most friendly staff and given a tour of the beautiful facility. For my service I got into the warm pool, and Monica guided me to on some special stretches and used a special tool to loosen my muscles to help release my pinched nerve. As soon as I stepped out of the pool I felt looser and I had no pain! With that being said I was able to enjoy all the lovely amenities that the spa provides. From the delicious lunch, and time spent on the gorgeous property, I felt pampered, relaxed, and refreshed! Lake Austin Spa is truly a special place for me now. I will be coming back soon!…

The manager and massage therapist were incredibly rude. I never write reviews, but felt compelled because of the horrible way I was treated. So poorly that I left, after being on the massage table. It was embarrassing and humiliating to be treated in such a way. After check in I was assured one thing and 2 seconds later the manager was at my door telling me something totally different. Once downstairs I was trying to explain that I was told something completely different, only to find the girl who'd said this to me hiding in the corner... I will not return, nor will I ever recommend them to anyone.
