We travel a lot and we travel to some of the best destinations you can imagine. I have not been so surprise in a good way in quite some time. The level of organic hospitality, natural beauty, amenities and intentionality was on a level of its own. Bravo to the hosts and crew that made ours stay such a win for our anniversary.

An absolute slice of paradise! We recently stayed at this incredible adult hotel, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the amazing staff made us feel completely welcome and cared for. The entire property was immaculately clean, creating a perfectly relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. One of our absolute favorite parts was the location—it is beautifully close to the river, making for lovely, tranquil views and easy walks. But the absolute highlight of the trip had to be the best outdoor shower ever. Taking a warm, wonderful shower out in the open air was pure bliss. If you are looking for a spotless, adult-only escape with top-tier service and a touch of nature, this is the place. We cannot wait to return! Highly recommended!

The cabin we booked was perfect. It was at a walking distance to the office and they served breakfast tacos the weekend we stayed. The walk to the San Marcos river was maybe about 5 minutes. It was also about a 10-15 minute drive to the city but far enough that you could see the stars at night! Staff was courteous and answered any questions we had. Will definitely go again.

The atmosphere was excellent. Cute havitatations. Very clean & put together well. The access to the river was fun. Pool was relaxing to hang out at. If I were to change anything it would be these 2. The bed, atleast for my wife & I, wasn’t comfortable. The other would be a dining option on site. Either a little grill or cafe or a local restaurant that the hotel pairs with to provide options to guests. Other than that this place was phenomenal. Waking in the morning & sitting on my mini porch listening to nature & the rushing river was a serene way to end our trip

I absolutely adored my stay at Melrose River Club. If you’re looking for a true getaway in Texas, this is it. The luxury cabin setting right off the river feels private, peaceful, and completely removed from city life. Being able to see the stars at night, relax by the beautiful pool, and enjoy the quiet atmosphere made it feel like a personal retreat. The staff experience was warm and thoughtful, which elevated the entire stay. It’s the perfect place to reset, recharge, and escape the noise of everyday life.

Perfect getaway for a couple.

Was a great stay for our anniversary trip. The cabin was spacious and very homey. We didn't want to leave. The pool was great and a great atmosphere on the property. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The bed was one of the most relaxing and comfortable beds we have had anywhere we stayed. Would go back again anytime we go to san marcos.
