We drove from St. Louis to New Braunfels (stopped in Oklahoma City overnight) and stayed in one of the Treehaus suites the third week of July 2017. Overall my 2 kids (boys 14 and 16), my wife, and I really enjoyed it. We arrived around 4:30pm on a Tuesday and checked out at 10:00am on Friday; one evening and 2 full days. My wife and 14 year-old preferred the new side while my 16 year-old preferred the old side. I was 50/50.

Everything was pretty great, but they need to step up their game on the resort side of things. They don't communicate very well what is available for resort guests and don't offer much in the way of perks. We had one hour early access to three slides that were connected and one hour late access to the surf simulator. These were both on the new side. Some of the heated swim-up-bar pools were open until midnight. That's it.

We also tried to order a pizza to be delivered to our room (which an employee told us we could do on our first night there) but got sent from one department to another on the phone so I just walked over to the pizza stand and got it myself (we could see it from out room).

It was a pretty great trip, but try and relax and be prepared for a few frustrations!
