go somewhere where they care about you as a guest. First It was very hard to reach anyone to make reservations, they did not return our calls after we left several messages we did finally accomplish this simple task, Once again they never called us back to make spa appointment as they promised, we again made repeated calls to get... more

I just had to write to share with you how amazing our stay was at Escondida. When we were driving home, my husband and I both commented on how relaxed we were. In fact, we both agreed that we were more relaxed than we had been in years. The scenery was beautiful; the room was huge; the bed was very... more

We just got home from a fabulous weekend at the Escondida Resort. Loved every minute of our stay! The grounds are lovely and our room was spacious and beautifully furnished. No cheap "hotel furniture" at the Escondida! Our room had a balcony with a beautiful view, large bathroom and dressing area, very comfortable bed and a sitting area by one... more

This is such a beautiful property. I love just walking around it. The spa is wonderful- be sure you get a massage and a facial. It was so nice to see the management taking such an active role. The owner, Christy, went out of her way to make sure that we were having a nice stay. Don't miss it! more

The website for this place is very deceiving. It is too bad as this place has great potential, but its ruined by the total lack of customer service. We went on a girls trip and did not check TripAdvisor first--big mistake. They charge $300 a night and only have 10 rooms and they say they have the best hospitality, they... more

Per the review, our website is very misleading. There is no mention of "the best hospitality" or a three course meal on our website. Per the website, dinner is the "Chef's Choice." The "hunks of meat" were black angus prime rib. We are very clear on our confirmation letter that we do not have cell service. It is unfortunate that...

Before booking my stay, I read all the reviews and felt it was a 50/50 chance I'd like this place. As I drove (sped) to get there in order to make the 6:30-7:30 pm window for dinner, I luckily made it around 6:15 pm. Upon arrival, there was nobody there to greet us. My key was taped to the office... more

Escondida is a truly beautiful resort a nice hide away from the hustle and bustle. We went there with some friends and spend 3 days two nights. Our first impression once we were at the resort was at check in. A truly nice young lady with a wonderful sense of humor checked us in and then took us on a... more

I surprised my husband with a trip to Escondida for our 10th anniversary. We are both in our late 30s and have traveled a lot. He had no idea where we were going until we arrived. Upon arrival, we were quickly checked in to our room and were thrilled when we saw it in person (we had seen pictures on... more

After watching the Texas Country Reporter and viewing the website, I didn't feel it lived up to the advertisements. The staff appeared very short-handed with everyone doing the cooking, cleaning, including the massages. The main course at dinner was very poor. The entire 2-day stay was not worth what we paid. Other amenities were not up to par in the... more

While the property itself is a beautiful piece of design, the process by which things are run needs some improvement. Check-in was quick, once I could find someone to do so. Finding staff at the office is a tricky thing... It's not unusual to call, let the phone ring a few dozen times and still not get an answer. The... more
