Lake Austin Spa Resort

Lake Austin Spa Resort was great! The grounds are beautiful and serene. We were in a lake front room with a nice sitting area overlooking the lake. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was very friendly and informal with many people eating in their robes. It didn't feel crowded. The spa grounds are very nice and treatments were good. Our favorite activities were the aqua bootcamp and stretching classes. I got the best treatment of any kind ever from Monica who does aqua myofascial stretching treatment. It was painful but then I felt really good afterwards. I highly recommend the treatment.

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

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.

My Swedish massage was amazing!! Karinna took such care and tenderness with m massage!! She kept checking in and was very open to conversation as per my questions. Was amazing to let me relax when that was the vibe! She went WAY over time, offering care and concern to my tease areas! Overall, Karinna was 5 out of 5!

My family and I had the most special stay here! The staff, grounds, food and activities are exceptional. Definitely book an aqua myofascial session with Monica. It's incredibly healing and unlike other modalities. The massages were terrific as well. We were so enchanted we've decided to make it an annual visit!

I had the most wonderful deep tissue massage by Jason during my recent visit to the day spa. Jason is so professional and courteous, attentive to areas of concern and worked magic on the tension and many knots in my shoulders. Highly recommend him and Lake Austin Spa!
