"Overall, we had a good experience at Horseshoe Bay Resort, largely thanks to the exceptional and friendly staff who were consistently helpful throughout our stay. The property itself is nice, with three pools to choose from—two of which stay open late, which was a big plus. The floating pool was a standout feature, though it did close earlier in the evening than we expected. We also really enjoyed the whitewater putting course, which was a highlight, but worth noting that it’s not included in the resort fee. The spa massages were relaxing and well done, but there is a mandatory 22% gratuity, so just be aware of that when booking.
That said, there were a few drawbacks. The additional resort fee of nearly $50 per night was a bit of a surprise and adds up quickly. We stayed in the Palm Villas, and while the rooms were fine, they felt a little outdated—plus no blackout curtains and not the most comfortable pillows. The resort overall felt more geared toward families with kids or older guests, and we found the activities somewhat limited as a couple traveling without kids. We didn’t golf, which seems to be a big part of what makes this resort worth it, so I probably wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you plan to take advantage of that."
