So I bought my 3 night package on RueLala. I had never been to a destination spa before, so wasn't sure 100% what to expect. It was AWESOME. I went by myself (totally safe for a single woman), and in fact there was another woman that I know of that was by her self too.

The entire atmosphere is relaxing. You are right on the lake, the place is very manicured and made for chilling out. I had a premier lake view room and it was more than spacious. You entered into the bedroom with a sitting area and flat screen TV. The bathroom was just down a short hall and had a huge soaking tub. My 'cottage' had a backyard zen garden with a waterfall and chair/ottomon. Bed was super comfy and the room was quiet. You do have a small refridgerator that you can put a few things in.

With your package, you get all meals, all fitness classes, and mine came with a spa credit. They have a very full schedule of things to choose from, so I was never bored. It was up to me to decide if I wanted to rise early (which I did every day...didn't want to waste a minute) and take classes, or just chill in a hammock by the lake and read a book. It was too cold to use the pools, but I did use the hot tub. Some of the classes are fitness, and some are things like watercolor painting, or even just a boat tour on the lake. Really a nice variety of things to choose from. I enjoyed the yoga and the tibetan bowl meditation.

The food was excellent. Even though the portions were 'small'...but really not beause they are the size you are supposed to eat...with so many courses to choose from I was more than satisfied. They do have beer and wine for purchase and the selection was good.

The Spa was great...good facilities and treatment specialists.

I will go back without a doubt. This has also opened me to try other destination spas.

From the minute we drove up to the spa, the staff made us feel welcome and special. The customer service is exceptional. The grounds are beautiful. The classes are diverse and fun with knowledgeable instructors. The food is healthy and delicious. Even though I worked out all day every day, I actually gained a few pounds. But, that was my own fault because I had dessert at every meal. It was so good. Nothing is crowded, but if you want to meet people it is very easy. I hope to go back again.

We just came home from our third stay at the Lake Austin Spa resort. My wife and I just love this place.
It is very friendly and casual and we both feel very comfortable here. It doesn't take much effort to start a conversation with other guests or with staff.

The whole resort is gorgeous and feels very uncrowded. It is easy to be by yourself there if you so choose. For example, My favorite swimming pool at the resort is located in a large barn. It is a 75 foot long lap pool, open on several sides. Like all the spaces there, it is very tastefully done. I've done laps there 5 different times and each time I have had the pool all to myself. Then I finish it up with whirlpool, sauna and finally an outdoor shower. Just love it.

I like that I have a choice of where to have my meals. Most days we ate in the main dining room but we sometimes ate up at the spa house and we could have had our meals delivered to our room and eaten on the porch if we had so wanted.

They had a nice selection of classes and the teachers were all good. Learned how to use a SUP ie a stand up paddle board. Also enjoyed the boat trip on the lake.

Will definitely return again

I visit this wonderful spa several times a year and have for several years. I always have a relaxing and rejuvenating stay. This past weekend, however, outdid them all. I was lucky enough to be able to attend their new chef's (Stephane Beaucamp) first Sunday Supper. Orchestrated by new Director of Food and Beverage, Tom Tuscher, it was world class in every respect. If you're already booked for one of the upcoming eight Sundays, I envy you!
