Not even considering that this is during COVID redeems this in ANY way. My wife and I went for a quick anniversary getaway July 6-8. In the days leading up, we both confirmed availability of things before we went, because we wanted to make sure it was worth our time and money to still go with the extra COVID restrictions. When we got there - there was 1 restaurant open for the duration of our stay with pool reservations required which is understandable - just very limited for the lack of other things available. Resort fee is high considering the putting course is an ADDITIONAL charge and there are few other resort amenities. When I asked I was told that the fee still covered pool access (limited) parking, tv and wifi. We tried eating breakfast at J's and got seated, but left after 15 minutes because we never saw a server. When we went back for dinner we were 1 of 2 tables in the restaurant and the service was subpar. Waiter was lost and we never got our appetizer and they got our order wrong. They were more concerned with their to go orders.

I've been to horseshoe bay resort before and that's why we came back. This trip made me feel like I had been robbed out of several hundred dollars that it cost in booking fees and resort fees. Not to mention the fact that if we had booked just a week ahead of our trip instead of a couple months like we did, we would have paid a FRACTION of the price. Just a very very frustrating experience.

The only bright spot was golf. The golf shop staff and F&B staff at slick rock were top notch and deserved of praise.
