Great property close to downtown area and restaurants. The boiler had an issue and our son took a scolding shower that was scary but management was very responsive and gracious about it. If we go back we would not stay anywhere else.

We enjoyed our stay at Horseshoe Bay. We went for a birthday and found lots of fun things to do at the resort and in the area. However, we did find it difficult with the restaurants and was hoping for a little more mainstream menus. We ended up eating away from the resort for most meals. I was also hoping there would be a microwave in the room, especially given that they have all of the restaurants and people tend to have leftovers. Finally, I feel like the mini golf should be included in the stay or at least highly discounted. They wanted to charge us $25 a person to play. We did enjoy the heated pools and all of the water features and all kinds of different little paths we found to walk. The resort is beautiful! I would stay here again, but would be better prepared food wise.
