We've been going to the Tribute restaurant for 28 years for our anniversary. This time, the food was just off. The steak was tough and filled with fat and gristle. The menu was changed since last time and no longer has decent side options. We will really need to think about it for our next anniversary. Very sad.

This review is for the hotel, which we stayed at in late December 2025 as part of a trip for a family birthday. The rooms are overpriced - and aren’t very nice or well stocked. We paid $400+ a night for two double beds I’d describe as passable. There are some things in the room that are just off - like pre-installed units on the shower wall equipped with bath foam, conditioner and bath foam again…?Packed our own shampoo but seemed like a weird choice to omit shampoo in the room. The in room Kuerig didn’t work. Staff isn’t very kid friendly and is on again/off again with rule enforcement. For instance, they will say no kids in the hot tub, then allow kids in the hot tub, just kind of depends on which life guard is around. The housekeeping runs behind and late - could be 4 or 5P if they can get to you - I’m sure they are understaffed. On site restaurant Tribute isn’t very good - we had a decent wedge salad, a dry chicken entree and some of the saddest kids chicken tenders - they were barely warm. This hotel advertises itself as Texas best resort based on some online polls but it pales in comparison to places like JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country or the Hyatt Regency resorts in Texas which have better food, better pools and a more family oriented staff. It’s not that this hotel is terrible but it can’t compete in it’s price class in Texas. We won’t be back.

Good: Great gym facilities. Three pools including an adult only pool. Food at the various restaurants is better than your average hotel. Bad: Rooms are not great - showers flood. Coffee is terrible. Even the Starbucks in the health club is worse than a normal Starbucks. Service is mixed. Some employees are sweet and helpful, others just seem to have a permanently bad mood. Overall it is probably a better athletic club than hotel.

We had a small event here and I was super impressed. The hotel rooms are very clean (and that says a lot because I am picky lol). The hotel staff was beyond nice and helpful. And the food was amazing. Our guests mentioned multiple times how good the food was. Thank you to the hotel staff, banquet staff, event planners, and flower company. Y’all were awesome!

The hotel property is absolutely amazing! We enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The pool area was relaxing, and the bar and restaurant offered first-class service. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and professional, making us feel welcome from start to finish. Our room overlooked the forest, which added an extra touch of peace and relaxation. A wonderful experience all around—we can’t wait to return!
