The balcony guest room we had was huge, with two queen size beds and lots of floor space. Furnishings were luxurious and comfortable. View was spectacular. We love the multiple swimming pools and nature trail, and the lobbies are also spacious and comfortable. We hope to play golf the next time we come back!

This resort is wonderful. My mother, sister, and I have spent several birthdays here pampering ourselves at the spa and sipping beverages by the pool. It is a wonderful place to spend time with family and so expansive it feels like you're the only people there.

This place was absolutely gorgeous with spectacular view of the hills and golf courses. Did not play golf, rather we enjoyed the spa. Buffet food was mediocre. Everyone was very friendly. Need to clean vents and fans, just looks unkempt and makes me wonder what else needs attention. Yeah, parking seemed a problem but the valet parkers were great. We recommend and do plan a return visit.

The resort sits high on a hill with views in all directions. There was a migration of monarch butterflies while we were there which made it magical. All amenities of a private club.

Loved the hotel; spa prices were a little up there but somewhat to be expected. The only thing we did't like was the view. Our window overlooked the roof of another level...but I guess you get what you pay for.

The hotel is beautiful with great service. I was very dissapointed that there wasn't any music at the hotel. It is afterall, Austin, TX. We were even there during a UT football weekend.

Great room for the money. Absolutely wonderful room and surroundings.

The room was nice, but for the price there were way too many extra charges. Valet parking was a $25.00, which I felt should have been complimentary since self parking was full after 7. Of course the mini bar was extra, but they left small jars of cashews and jelly beans out ehich were 12.00 each. they made it look like a comlimentary gift. The doors slammed way too loud in morning.

It will spoil you.

Wonderful Stay

This is a beautiful place - my only negative is the parking.

This is a great hotel. I didn't get to use the spa, but I understand it is magnificant. The area is beautiful.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. I received an awesome rate on hotels.com and then got a free upgrade upon check in. The room was huge with amazing views. This was a great place for our family and we can't wait to go back. About a 15 minute drive into town but well worth it. The only negative with the pricy food which was nothing to write home about.

Friendly Staff

We enjoyed our stay here! And would love to come back soon!

Since the recent remodel, the Barton Creek resort has become a first-rate getaway in every aspect. My wife and I couldn't be more pleased. Atop a hill overlooking a vast, wooded valley in the Texas Hill Country west of Austin, the view outside our room was breathtaking. (We paid a few bucks extra for a room with a view. It was worth every penny.) We went mainly for a romantic getaway and were very pleased. The staff was warm and eager to assist. Our room was big, very clean, lovely, and quite comfy. We will definitely return.

I paid a very decent rate through hotels.com, so I was excited to visit this resort & spa. The registration staff was friendly upon arrival. The amenities were great. My only concern was with the cleanliness of the room. The curtains had very disturbing stains all over them. The pillows and duvet had an overwhelming stench of a particular male cologne (not mine). I asked the front desk to have them changed and I signaled for the maid service to change the linens. It was not done. The carpet was laid very poorly. The bathroom needed updating and the shower drain was very slow. I was standing in dirty bath water when I finished showering. Overall, the resort is nice and it was probably just our particular room, but it affected my stay and by default, this review.

This is one of THE BEST hotels i have stayed at. This is my second visit and i am planning on bringing my family for the Christmas weekend

The room i was in had a horrible musty smell, but they couldn't move me to another room as the hotel was full. I opened my windows and after a few hours the smell was manageable. The beds were too soft and quite lumpy, which was a surprise for such a "nice" resort. My cell phone did not work in my hotel room, so i had to walk outside to use it.The key to my room didn't work and i had to go to the front desk 3 times and wait in a "long" line each time to get it resolved - it was a long walk. The lady at the front was rude and unaccommodating. She basically said "sorry" and turned around. I will NEVER stay here again. There are many nice hotels in Austin that i've never had a problem with. Actually, this is my first time to post a negative comment.

Very nice facilities...just that add ons were very pricey!

All the reasons why we love to vacation in Austin. The hills, the sceneries, the golf courses, and diversified entertainment/dining. This resort is a must for anyone wanting to get away from it all. We couldn't believe we were still in Texas. The staff is friendly. The rooms clean. The only draw back I would say would be that they need another pool...an adults only pool. Other than that...two thumbs up, way up!

My wife and I stayed here on our wedding night and went with a basic room. It was a very nice room and really big. Room service breakfast was great the next morning too. The only negative we could come up with is that parking was confusing. We had to end up using the valet which we found out was $25 at checkout. All in all, a great experience.

We were with family and booked two rooms. Both were outstanding! Only wish we could have stayed longer!

It is very obvious from my last visit that some of the rooms at the resort have been remodeled while others are lacking greatly. Shock that bathroom was not clean, found hair on bathroom floor.

We were really blown away by the room we got for the money we paid! The resort itself is by far the nicest place we've ever stayed! There were really only two things that were disappointing: first, there's only one outdoor pool, and it was insanely crowded. For a resort that size, we were really surprised they didn't have more than one outdoor pool; second, we asked for a toothbrush and were told it would be brought to our room and it never was. We probably won't visit again unless it's not on a weekend, but only because we enjoy a less crowded, more laid back feel!

I purposely booked my stay at this resort for the hill country views and the pool. Very nice room. Very nice hotel. Very nice fitness center. I travel a lot and was surprised at the lack of service by the employees. Just a little extra touch would have made it a spectacular stay. Check in was quick; check out was not. Maid service did not answer phone, left message. Had to call front desk after 45 minutes, but then I had my foam pillows immediately. Room service was fast and good. Pool side service was lacking and drinks are pricey, but hey, it is pool side service. Restaurant grill was overpriced and not kid friendly. We would not go back and opted for room service instead or burgers at the pool. Very nice bell service and valet staff. Surprised they offered self parking and had a garage, which was very nice to protect the vehicle with Texas Spring storms. Overall, a very nice stay, but just a shame they cannot improve on their customer service - then it would be remarkable! Biggest complaint is doors to rooms are solid, and they SLAM everytime they close. When your neighbor leaves, you know it!

Awesome hotel. Great staff. Comfy beds and clean, clean, clean! Beautiful pool, hot hot tub and did I mention the great staff? Only complaint was trying to read the small print on the shampoo and conditioner bottles. Can't wear your glasses in the shower! :)

The inside of the room was very nice but there was no view outside. The door to the outside was surrounded by a 6 ft wall on all sides that made it hard to see anything.

The resort is very nice, and the golf course looked great; although I did not have time to play. I only stayed for 2 nights; after my first night, my room was the only one without a morning paper outside the door, and when we returned late in the afternoon, our room was not cleaned. After calling housekeeping, they brought us additional towels, then showed up to clean my room after 5:00 PM while we were getting ready to go out for the night, so I sent them away.

Wonderful. Only two concerns; very difficult to know which is correct driveway and parking area unless one has been there before; and, no snack bar, news stand, etc. open after dinner. Otherwise, just great.

love it, except for the matress.

The facilities could not be nicer. Great stay for a romantic get-a-away. A little pricey, but if you need pampering, and an escape from the everyday, this is the place. I would not suggest this hotel for an overnight traveler, the location is awkward for that kind of travel. All in all I loved the place. I have not seen service like that in the States for decades.

The hotel was extremely nice with all the amenities you could hope for. We received a great price through Hotels.com that made the value of our stay off the charts. Rooms were updated, parking was free and fitness center was well equipped. Downsides were that they still charge for internet access and that the golf rates are very pricey compared to other courses in the area. We highly recommmend this hotel if the price is right!

I love this hotel...the property was nice, tons of activities and the gym was amazing...the only thing bad was the hot tub wasn't working at the resort pool, but other than that, it was perfect...

they give me the worst room in the hotel, dirty carpet, the view of the window to another building, very old bathroom and my reservation was for one king bed and they don't respect this.

The rooms were very large and clean. The breakfast buffet was good and the staff was friendly. The only problem I had was that everything on the bed was down and I am allergic. They offered to remove it all but it would have amounted to sleeping on the box springs so I just told them to forget it and took a benadryl.
