Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort

Rooms need to be updated

Restaurant with numerous options and tasty food. Away from city but not too far from necessities. Friendly staff

It was a R&R trip except I would have loved to have something for couples to do as a couple.

Everything was wonderful!

This "resort" was probably the place to visit 30 years ago. They have invested in the golf clubhouse, pro shop, lobby, and main building but the rooms likely haven't been updated in 25+ years. We paid to have a suite, it was large, the bed was nice, but otherwise it was in rough shape, the bathroom had broken floor tile, peeling wallpaper, the tub filler spout wasn't even attached to the wall. We also had ants in the bathroom the first morning. We went for a weekend getaway and were excited to relax by the pool, but that didn't really happen. We went out to the pool area about noon on Saturday, the entire outdoor bar had been overtaken by a birthday party for a small child, with decorations, streamers, matching shirts and 25-30 people easy. Then after that party ended, in the area by the pool where you could play corn hole and similar was overtaken by child's birthday party this one included bounce houses, a bubble foam cannon, and reception tables setup for like 40 people. The resort had a small pool area for adults only, which becomes irrelevant when it is surrounded by bounce houses and down range from a bubble cannon. It felt more like a Chuck E. Cheese than a resort. At nearly $250/night for the room, 'resort fees" and taxes, it felt more like a 2-star hotel masquerading as a resort.

The room was particularly small and dark, with a dampness on the bedding because of the humidity in the room. We upgraded for a view even though they advertised the room had multiple views. Our view was of a yard with a fence. The room wouldnt cool but the thing that helped our decision to leave was the roach crawling across the headboard. We lasted about 45 min. in there and called front desk to let them know why we were leaving. Then I saw that we were charged for the room the day before we arrived. Terribly disappointing since we were there to celebrate 25 yrs of marriage.

Be aware of the following: The bathrooms need MAJOR updating. I’m talking the cracked/loose tile, missing grout, and yellowing wallpaper are like something out of a 1981 horror movie. Drain cover missing. Mold growing under the caulk in the shower. The tile is deadly slippery when wet! Yikes! It’s like they got halfway thru the remodel and gave up (or ran out of money). The exterior of our building (#3) was scary with the yellow light bulbs and the crumbling second story walkway. Buyer beware: there is no elevator to the second floor rooms. You can opt-in to a first floor room if possible. Imagine dragging your full suitcase up the stairs…it’s comical. The food at the on-campus restaurant was “ok” but I would recommend going in to town and eating somewhere else. You will need to drive between your building and the clubhouse/front desk, so bring your own vehicle. I can’t even imagine if it was raining. Honestly I would consider the accommodations more of “Motel”-like with exterior doors, dark, dimly lifted stairwells and walkways. Not sure why they are not updating this place fully after almost 45 years. Oh also the “king” beds are NOT standard size. Anyway, all that to say i would come back if I could confirm they have any rooms with recently updated bathrooms. The location and the pool atmosphere was great. The clubhouse is beautiful and the live music was fun. So I’m torn on if I’d stay here again but not sure there is anything better in town.. Maybe a VRBO?

My husband and I will be back. This property is beyond beautiful. Also, the amenities and restaurant are excellent.

Room was not ready to check in. The receptionist promise to call me when one was ready. After and hour and half I went to check if it was ready, finally it was ready . Unfortunately I had only 30 minutes to get ready for my nephews wedding. The new receptionist just apologize.
