Melrose River Club exceeded our expectations. The classic cabin we stayed in was very clean with a cool retro vibe. The property itself was very well kept. Our favorite part was the easy access to the river. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Property is beautiful, pool was great, casitas were cozy. We had a lovely time and will definitely return. We had a few hiccups but staff was accommodating and very prompt with fixing the issues. The first hiccup was the breaker blew, they were very prompt in coming out and flipping that for us. The other hiccup was we wanted a refresh for our casita but it was forgotten but the staff came over at 8 pm and brought us towels and chocolates, this was very nice of them. The overall vibe was excellent. Very friendly staff. I would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect for our anniversary getaway. They are very attentive and cabin was so perfectly prepared for our stay. Pool and bar were quiet and everyone extremely friendly. Super close to town for dinner and evening out.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and it was an amazing experience. The resort is right on the San Marcos River, a prime spot to float and enjoy the water. The pool is awesome and the bar is full service. The service from the staff as well as Max and Mel was phenomenal and second to none. The cabin was nice and had every amenity imaginable. While speaking with Max, the future plans of the resort made us excited to return in the future. We for sure will be coming back!

It’s a Casita! I loved how cute it was! Different experience compare to traditional Hotels. Check in and check out went smoothly. The only thing I had issues with was the amount of spider webs and spiders in the outside shower. Im

Stay here!

Our stay here at the property was amazing!! We stayed one night as San Marcos is a halfway point to our destination. I usually don’t write many reviews unless I’m over the top of impressed!!! The owners were so friendly and accommodating, very welcoming. My absolute favorite thing was the outdoor shower, This place is so relaxing and peaceful. This will now always be our halfway stop. Best start of my vacation!!

Honestly only stayed for one night. It was the best place available for a last minute trip to San Marcos. I’d definitely go back for a longer stay. The place seems really cool.
