Had an amazing trip! Course was fantastic, Close to Big Bend, friendly staff, great food! Only negative thing was you could hear the people upstairs at night but that s just part of having someone above you! Maybe bring a noise machine or something ha!
The food was very good, and the waitress was very helpful and friendly.
We didn't stay at the resort, but we DID go ziplining at Lajitas! It was a truly heart-pounding experience. Our guides, Tristi and Colton, were phenomenal -- friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Our group was small (just three other customers) and made for a fun, relaxing afternoon. Water was provided, and we got to go on four ziplines. Highly recommended!
We had lunch here and it was fantastic!! Great guac and there toasted Torta Carne sandwich was simply fantastic! I was totally planning on having a slice of pecan pie for dessert but the sandwich was SO filling, I didn't have any room. The waitress offered to box me up a piece to eat back in Marfa after dinner but everyone knows pecan pie is best warm and with ice cream so I had to pass I'd eat here again in a heartbeat!
long way out but really a great place . Accommodations were great Food in restaurant was rally good. Golf course is super cool . Worth the ride .
My family stayed at the RV park and it is really nice, needs work with the wifi though.
WE DON'T GOLF! And it doesn't matter a bit, it's a great place to stop just outside the park. If you can't get a reservation inside the park at Chisos Mountain Lodge, which is nearly impossible when the kids are out of school, this is the next best thing. If you do come for the golf, make sure you spend at least one day to make a trip to the park. It's certainly worth the 1hr drive which doesn't feel at all like an hour since you're driving one of the most scenic roads in the entire country! Another great half-day side trip is driving the historic and scenic FM170 along the Rio Grande to Presidio. There's a couple great places to stop along 170 (e.g. Closed Canyon Trail) and you can eat lunch at a local border dive. The resort itself certainly is not cheap and I was surprised I had to ask for, and then be charged extra for a "roll-in microwave"... who's every heard of being charged for microwave that had obviously been anchored in the room previously then was removed and then they have to roll it back in on a cart if you want to use one?! Oh well, I guess this place has quirks in more ways than one.
Very spacious area. On arrival, long looking for reception. In the restaurant extremely expensive prices. Rooms were clean but decor is getting old. Because could be renewed times.
Played in January so was dormant. Great views and track.
On the border with Mexico in an enchanted place. Three pools, a good restaurant and polecats in the garden.
The food was very good. It was stone cold and very expensive. Wonderful atmosphere, very nice service ...truth.
Nice place to stay and lots to do if you want to,great,food in resturant.
Well maintained with lost to do. Large and beautiful golf course. There is a bakery, saloon, and restaurant on site. The activities desk is extremely helpful. You can also book zip lining and horseback rides through the resort.
What an amazing experience ..Everything from the staff to the service to the amenities of the resort.
I couldn't of had a better experience definitly recommend coming here for a weekend or a getaway trip .
A piece of heaven hidden in the heat of the desert
Nice place. Our rooms were a bit old and outdated but clean and comfortable.
They are just a bit too proud of their golf course. $75.00 for 9 holes? No thank you...
Kinda fell in love with this place. Never expected to find a resort this nicely appointed and maintained at such a remote location.
Wonderful time with the family! Golf course is fun.....one of a kind! Staff is 1st class. Pool is open year round....kids loved it!
Really enjoyed the RV Park, the location is out of the way but Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park are both very accessible.
We stayed at the RV place near by. We did two things here. One, ate a meal. It was the saltyst meal ever. Not just my meal, all four of our meals tasted like they just poured salt on them. Plus as it was the only place in the area it cost $100.00. We didn't have thought of things. We are talking totia soup, chicken fried stake, and tacos. It was not edible. Next, we booked a zip line adventure. The guides were very nice, the area clean, the equipment well maintained. The down side was we did the bargaining one and the hang time was about 30 seconds to a minute. Three zip lines for four people shouldn't cost more than $300.00. Very unsatisfying. The only thing this place has is golf. If you really like golf and don't mind playing in100+ temp and 70% humidity on brown grass. Have fun, there is no one else there for a reason. Maybe in the winter.
A serene vacation place where you can still use or separate from technology with excellent people and a fabulous restaurant.
Amazing beautiful place. There is nothing in town, but if you can get around that, the food at the Resort was serviceable, but the people and the Golf was amazing. We would go back. What a gorgeous place.
Beautiful place ridiculous prices expect to bring lots of money if you want to have fun
The golf course looks amazing and they are building up a really nice complex. They just don't have all the standards up for the prices they charge. A nice little Oasis in the desert that just hasn't quite ripened yet
It is our second Anniversary and we decided to visit the Big Bend country. We did some research on the grounds and from what the website said and what was actually there were two totally different things. Our rooms were to come with a robe and slippers - it didn't, room was suppose to have french doors that took you out onto your balcony - it didn't , there was suppose to be a gas station and a trading post with breakfast burritos and coffee to enjoy before a long day of hiking and activities - there was no trading post or gas station, this place is a golf resort and we drove 10hrs to a golf resort to play golf. We called and made a reservation 1 week before we left. They took our reservation and told us that we are expected. We arrive and they had us in the wrong room so they had to move us. When we got into the room we requested the air conditioner did not work. They had to move us again. We arrived in the next room and the hot water did not work so they did not say sorry, they just got an attitude with us. It is not my fault your resort facilities do not work. When we arrived to the resort and got settled into our room we wanted to set up our golf game. We noticed that the golf course did not look champion grade. Well guess what! 80% of the golf course was under a foot or more of dirt. They got a flood a couple of weeks ago and did not care to let us know the golf course is out of commission before we drove 10hrs to get there. A golf resort that could not get us in a comfortable room and a golf resort that did not have a golf course. No apologies were given and nothing was comped and everything with the service of the resort was horrible.
The staff was rude and it made us furious during our special day (Anniversary)
The restaurants had poor cooking and we tried it three times before we decided to drive an hour or so to get a pizza or some other form of food than the crap they served at LaJitas. I ordered the beef fajitas and when they arrived it was greasy and the meat was very chewy. Best of all the beef was seasoned with taco seasoning. It was horrible and we couldn't even eat the meal we paid 40 bucks for. The service was horrible all three times we ate there. We wanted to eat at the nice restaurant there but they were closed Sunday and Monday.
I will probably never come back. The only reason I say probably is because of the reasons below.
ON THE PLUS SIDE:
The bar was very nice and great service. We spent our time here every night because it made us feel like we were in a resort.
The pool is very nice.
The scenery is very beautiful.
We went horse back riding and the staff there was great and Cathy took very good care of us on our visit to the stables and around LaJitas.
The beds were very comfortable.
We stayed in the Officers Quarters.
Stayed October 10-13th 2008
Beautiful restaurant experience with pretty decent food. Fantastic scenery and friendly service.
Nice views... nothing around no phone service so beware. GHOSTS town is a good place to visit. Hold course is pretty. Gas is almost 1 dollar more.
Lovely room with very comfy bed. Bathroom was small but loved 2 person the shower. No elevator for 2nd floor rooms. Noisy mini fridge. A/c unit blew right on our heads. Beautiful grounds. Gorgeous swimming pool across the road from hotel.
Friendly people and beautiful land scape interesting place to visit
Very disappointed. The restaurant is closed, the cafe is closed, the pool is outdoors and not heated, no hot tub; this place does not have much to offer.
The staff is unhelpful. We had made a reservation through Expedia, and the staff insisted on a confirmation number when we arrived. When we were unable to produce it, we were charged extra for an "upgraded" room, which is so small that it doesn't even have 2 chairs where we could sit down; the fridge is in the bathroom. After all fees we will be paying around $300 for every night here!!! This is the place for you if you enjoy to be fleeced!
Two of us stayed at the Lajitas Golf Resort because we ran the Big Bend Ultra in Jan 2019. There were only a couple of issues about our stay. The WIFI service was non existent, we could not get connected to WIFI unless we walked across the street to the lobby. The hotel did send someone over to try and get us connected but it never worked. We do not mind being unplugged but when you have two women on their own with no cell service and no WIFI we felt a little insecure just in case anyone had to be reached for an emergency. The second issue was on event day our room was not cleaned until 4:30pm. That is a problem when one has just ran 18 miles and the other just ran 30 miles. Another suggestion would be to have a heated pool, boy would we have loved to gone for a swim. Or maybe add a hot tub on the property.
There was plenty good things about this resort and if I were ever to go back to Big Bend I would definitely stay at Lajitas. The rooms were really nice and we appreciated the mini refrigerator. The grounds were kept pristine and we loved the courtyard feel. The main restaurant was really good. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the buffets for dinner. The taco and hamburger buffet were perfect after doing long runs. The staff was very friendly and recommended a driving tour to see the scenery. Overall the stay was wonderful I would just try to get a room closer to the lobby / main building
The location and golf course deserve 5 stars. The staff also deserve 5 stars. However, the food is TERRIBLE like absolutely awful. I take that back, the goat cheese was great, otherwise it was a waste of hundreds of dollars. The food was cold/poorly cooked (salmon and veg and the steak). The lunch was also a multi hour experience, despite it being very slow at the time. Also, they had no lettuce? The grounds were gorgeous but the room was outdated and musty. I d recommend the golf course any day but because there arent a ton of accommodations in the area, unless you plan ahead with the Airbnbs, you may have to stay here and it s very pricey for the quality.
A great option close to Big Bend - however book advance with the spa if that's something you're interested in - they had no opennings for when we were there which is a bummer if you don't golf
We stayed the week of June 9th-11th. The first night we were in room 103. Put children to bed and wife and I went outside to relax to watch the bats and stars. Went to check on kids and saw one bed with daughter was covered in bed bugs! Grabbed children, went to front desk, got new room. But daughter had nightmares of that night every night from then on! Manager never really offered sincere apology, offered to buy us a dinner or pay for that nights stay or anything. Asked about room if it was fumigated or if beds disposed of, they didn't seem to know or care. Have feeling they just cleaned room, changed sheets and gave the room to another guest. Be weary at night.
An oasis in the middle of nowhere. West Texas is a gorgeous, elusive thing and Lajitas is the crown jewel in the area. Enjoy their many options for adventure and relax in the silent, desert nights, just a few yards away from the Rio Grande.
Hotel, restaurants, RV Park, and general store were great. Loved the golf course layout and views, but the course was very dormant. I understand it's winter and the desert, but our next stop was Scottsdale with every course being green and in prestine condition. They are in a desert as well. I'm not saying I'm disappointed, but I was expecting more to my first visit at Lajitas. Paying 150 dollars for 18, I was a little let down. We are thinking about returning during spring, early summer to see what the course looks like in its best conditions. I would recommend Lajitas. The weather was perfect in January.
This place is awesome! Like an oasis out in the middle of nowhere... closest town is Terlingua, which is a ghost town with like 50 people living there. So secluded, pitch black at night so you can see every star in the galaxy, and surrounded by unbelievable scenery that will make you ask "are you sure this is Texas?" We drove the 30 minutes or so to Big Bend a few days and went hiking (that was incredible) and on the way back hit up La Kiva which is an awesome bar/restaurant built underground in Terlingua. But it was great to have this place to come back to each night because it was by far the nicest place with the best amenities. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the whole resort is beautiful. Can't go wrong!
We went out for Spring Break this year and stayed for 5 nights. Wonderful experience for the whole family. Room was big and clean. Nice fixtures. Staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great. The staff that really stood out were Amanda, Duke, Logan, Steven and Adam. Thank you for a great first experience at the Lajitas Golf Resort!
Gorgeous views of the Big Bend area and the best golf course I've ever played
Surprised that a course if this quality is located in such a dry place
I stayed in the RV Park where on the outside everything looks nice, It's a facade. The restrooms were not cleaned for the 2 nights I stayed there. A few showers were not working. There were no paper towels. The wifi was worthless. Other than that, it was OK. A bit pricey for all of that though.
It has an excellent family atmosphere, ideal to get out of work routine. Nice place to be in contact with nature.
A slice of heaven on earth....this place is awesome in EVERY way...first the staff, outstanding and very professional and friendly, we truly felt welcomed....our room, large with wonderful decor, a PERFECTLY comfortable bed, large TV, no noise at night, large walk in shower, the room even had a fireplace to use....there was a small deck with a private 2nd entrance on the back side of our room...then the restaurant had the most wonderful food, and the floor to ceiling windows make you feel like you are sitting outside...and the bar was perfect for COVID, it was large and spread out, only above 30% occupied...so we could drink comfortable and yet visit across the distance with the other guests...and we must have picked the ideal time to visit, because all of the other guests were delightful to be around (as close as we could safely get to others with COVID) and they were amazingly friendly and willing to visit....honestly this place was on the very high end for my budget, BUT WORTY EVERY PENNY! I have traveled as an adult for 40+ years, and this is one of my very few 5 star reviews....The ONLY negative was having to leave....
Excellent course, the views are beautiful. Fabulous food, friendly and helpful staff. Worth the trip
This is one of the nicest, most intimidating golf courses I ve ever played. (As per Mr. H..hdcp 4) Incredible views...impossible to capture in a picture. This review is only for the golf course. Had drinks and food at the Thirsty Goat which was ok..friendly staff..the place smelled like a goat. I went there to play golf not to be coddled so I m ok with goat smell. The golf was great!! Would definitely go back.
My sister and I driving from Colorado to visit the Longhorn Museum, the Thirsty Goat Saloon and to have dinner in their restaurant was treated very rudely. We were not guests and there was a Private Event going on (though we did not see any guests on the premises). We thought about staying there on another trip down to the Big Bend Region and now know why people stay in Terlingua or Study Butte, the people are very friendly and the food is outstanding at the Starlight Theater. A must see at La Kiva Bar & Grill in Terlingua. This establishment is so over-rated for your dollars.
Friendly, quiet, beautiful oasis. I miss the legendary Lajitas, but the new version is lovely.
Staff was friendly. Restaurant was delicious. Had the NY strip and was very pleased
Cool place. We are staying at the RV park but this hotel is top rate.
Great course....NOT a walking course....spectacular par 5...GPS carts are great...challenging...will be back!....Acccomodations excellent....border patrol alll around...safe...similar to Rainmakers in NM but desert terrain....
There is no continental breakfast so I had to purchase my meal from their bakery. It was $40 for 2 deli sandwiches, fruit cup and a cinnamon roll. Everything else is probably okay, but the price was way too high for the quality of food and because you're in the middle of nowhere you won't have many options
It's truly one of the best in Texas. You just have to be there to really see it's beauty
Tried cancelling a reservation lady kept transferring me to a Voicemail also learned this place is now supporting the Confederate statues removed from Dallas,now in full display at this resort...Highly do not recommend river runs the size of a small creek in this area...
Beautiful. Enjoyed drinks at Thirsty Goat. Room is nice
Wow nice place in the middle of no where staff rooms food drinks are great
Husband and I stayed here for one night on our honeymoon in June 2012. Front desk/hotel service was EXCELLENT, and our room was very nice--we stayed in the officer's quarters with a view, and were very comfortable.
Unfortunately, I will never want to eat at their restaurant again. I have a severe peanut allergy. The hostess (an out-of-country intern) had no idea what I was trying to say about peanuts or allergies. She barely understood English--which would be ok if we could have communicated some other way. The chef treated me like I was bothering him when I asked if he could suggest something on the menu which would be safe, and never explained how the food was prepared. His response to "I have a peanut allergy" was "yeah, I've done food for that before" and in response to my question "do you cook with peanuts/peanut oil" was "not everything", but with no explanation. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries, which I was too afraid to eat (chef never came back to the table to ask how it was, and we were the only customers). And my husband ordered a chicken fried steak. Very expensive, very unpleasant service. If I happen to be in Lajitas again, I'll be sure to pack food with me.
I played golf at Black Jack's Crossing golf course and it's a wonderful canyon course. Very challenging even from the men's tees. I did not stay at the resort, but the golfing experience is well worth the trip out that way. I highly recommend it.
Beautiful rustic setting. Superb food, and superb amenities the only downside was the wifi was extremely slow.
It's a great getaway for golf. Hiking the mountains ..big bend. It's a great place and WOW. Call for a spa appt at Agave Spa. Awesome!!!!
Nice place to see Big Bend in comfort. Many family activities. Food is decent but more effort could be put into the food.
We stayed in the Maverick RV Park which is part of the resort.
Big bend with the comforts of a spa great massage and backcountry tours
The owner of this resort, Kelcy Warren, also owns the Dakota Access Pipeline. Staying here supports kicking Native Americans off their lands. Put your money somewhere else not in the hands of land stealing billionaires!
The rustic rooms were very clean and comfortable. The food was good and not any more expensive than any other hotel. The staff is gracious and helpful. The views are breath taking especially on the golf course. I would come back again.
All around great experience with very helpful staff
Excellent facility and warm, professional staff. Very relaxing experience. Will definitely be back.
