Lake Austin Spa Resort

Such a wonderful place to recharge and relax. Lovely people running the resort . A shout out to Denis who went the extra mile to make sure our stay was everything we hoped for. We went out of season so it was very quiet which made it even more peaceful.

I wish I could give Lake Austin Spa resort 5 stars but, unfortunately, my experience at the Spa was very disappointing. I’ve waited 5 weeks for the spa to reach out to me after politely sharing my experience and haven’t heard from anyone. The steam room and dry sauna were broken the entire weekend, resulting in one very crowded jacuzzi as the only spa amenity available. I walked out of my facial extremely confused. The woman who did my facial told me she avoided massage because of an area she thought was a spider bite and recommended I put aloe vera on it. I followed up with both my dermatologist and my regular Aesthetician immediately following that appointment who both said there is a 0% chance I had a spider bite. I hate to be harsh - but there is a level of expectation that comes with spending over $1,000/nightly and hundreds of dollars on a single treatment. I would have been better off spending half as much on a facial at any regular day spa. Now the resort - it is a lovely experience. The rooms are gorgeous and the food is delicious. There’s a good variety of fitness classes and the instructors are knowledgeable and friendly. I definitely would not recommend the spa but the resort is lovely if you need a quiet weekend getaway.

Lake Austin is a great retreat if you are looking for a luxury wellness resort in a nice setting that's quaint, peaceful and low-key with all amenities and activities of a larger resort like Miraval and Canyon Ranch. It's small enough that you can walk to the dining room, pool, classes within a few minutes, but spread out enough with such a great river view and much more activities than a Mi Amo or that you get a feeling you're at a spacious retreat. I've been twice and would definitely go again. Pros: - Dining: The food was great, consistently high-quality meals with lots of options and loved being able to eat outside overlooking river. I am very picky and they fulfilled special requests no questions asked to swap out ingredients and different preparation. It would be great if they rotated the breakfast and dinner menus especially if you stay there longer but they do have nightly dinner specials, and menus have large variety for hotel that size. Would also like pick-up snack options mid-morning and mid-afternoon besides cookies since it's all-inclusive and you are doing a lot of activities. Spa has a huge buffet but if you don't want to go over there they could put their home-made granola bars besides just fruit outside dining room. - Class Variety: Great amount of options for smaller resort in terms of fitness classes, wellness lectures, hikes and night activities. Lots of water activities since it's right on river. - Pools: 2 huge indoor and outdoor pools. Heated indoor pool barn is amazing with great relaxing spa music that i used almost daily when classes were not in session. - Spa: Spa was nice size with everything you'd expect separately for men/women - pools, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, seating areas and all the services I got (facial, massages, hydro mud circuit) were great. Food spread during day great. - Rooms: Typical garden rooms are nice size, with large bathrooms, large tub, great pillows, huge smart televisions, and decent closet space. You can't hear your neighbors or people walking on the path right outside. Rooms cleaned thoroughly daily. - Staff: Nick and Denis at the front desk with operations are amazing, and attempted to fulfill my individual requests and were always checking in with you and seeing how they can help. Zoey and Jimmy servers that were attentive and learned my likes and dislikes. Onyx at Spa was very knowledgeable and kind and helped accommodate my needs. Front desk staff and class instructors very friendly. - Location: It's about 50minutes from the Austin airport since it's on the river. It has amazing views and lovely to look at while dining or resting on hammock during day. Well-maintained property for the most part. - Gym: Great gym with great lake view with decent amount of upper and lower body machines, free weights, TRX, cardio equipment with tvs and lots of stretching and workout space. Only disappointment was that the reclining bike wasn't working during my stay. Cons: - Food Service: A lot of tim

LASR is a beautiful property, with stunning views, amazing guest rooms and very comfy beds. They offer a wide variety of activities and there are so many cozy spots to enjoy some quiet time. The food is delicious, healthy and they offer plenty of gluten free options. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure our corporate retreat was a huge success. I must mention Steve and Dennis by name. They were available to assist each day, provided great insight and timely service. I can’t wait to return for a fun girls weekend!

Atmosphere is amazing. Everyone is so friendly. Yoga was great. Classes were fun. Breakfast and lunch delicious. Dinner was sometimes a little over done but not terrible. My husband had an amazing time at the resort and the spa. 10/10. A little far from other restaurants to go eat. About 30 minutes no matter what but it is beautiful scenery and the traffic is only bad around 5pm. Excellent service no matter what we were doing at the resort. Had an amazing and relaxing time.

Girls trip. We four are from Austin but only two still live here. Overall we had a great time, took advantage of boating with Captain Paula (she's so fun!), rode the water bikes, coffee and kayak mornings, paddle board, and many appointments at the spa. The cooking class is not hands on like we thought it would be, but learned new things and tasting at the end was super yummy. Food on the specials menu each dinner was the way to go. Eric Turner played a set on Saturday night that was a great mix of original and standard tunes. Loved his voice. There were many staff standouts. Dennis and Ariana are warm and personable beings who seemed to always be around to help. Nik on the spot with drink recommendations, Renee in the shop was fun as we bought half of it, Sophie and Rijja were sweethearts on dinner service. At the spa, Nicholas has got to be the best masseuse I've had. Deep tissue and healing hands. The resort itself needs a capital infusion to bring it up to date, needs a remodel/refurbish.
