    So there's been lots of upgrades I've heard like more cabins and the camp site we got didn't…read moreoriginally have power which was the primitive area but it does now !!! The general manager was super nice and helpful had us upgrade to a better site ... the staff are very friendly.. purple horned guy helped me every day with ice if u want a massage by the local massage guy I suggest u book early ! The food was great I suggest u pre order breakfast at the cafe by pool it helps when ur tired and don't want to cook in the morning.. definitely 70% nude and 30 % clothed so bring ur best jock straps or sheer clothing or ur fancy bathing suits with sunglasses.... The cabanas are perfect for shade and at great price I recommend getting one because getting sun burned will happen there are areas to stay shaded too but u will probably want to be in the sun and not realize ur burning .. lets there's definitely some late night activities lol ... Yes there is WiFi but super super slow ... so knowing this make sure u download your music for camp area or have other means for ur projectors because I brought one to watch music videos while I cooked dinner for group but only could watch two lol This a bring ur own poison kinda place so I recommend buying this canned drinks that u just pour over ice .. everyone had there own Stanley cup by the pool fyi !! I definitely made lots of friends and will definitely come back with a bigger pack ... the DJ was ok but not like fantastic but the sound was ok They did have a foam party one night and lots of bubbles so that kept them busy so overall it was fun experience except I was disappointed on Sunday my disco Sunday was kinda let down I feel like they didn't give disco Sunday a try at all its was like basic disco not at all eagle disco that my only complaint.. Ian a disco queen lol

    Galveston Island State Park is a great spot to relax and enjoy nature. The scenery is beautiful…read morewith both beach and bay views, making it perfect for a peaceful getaway. It's a nice place for walking, fishing, or just soaking in the outdoors. The park is well kept and has a calm atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. Overall, it's a great place to visit if you're looking to escape the city and spend some time outside.

The headquarters is located on the beachside and that's where we checked in. There is a bayside post with a nature center, but both were closed when we went. We were given a trail map and recommendations on which trails to check out. All the trails are mowed regularly and we didn't see any trails with overgrown grass or brush. However, some trails can be flooded or under water because of where they're located. There is a boardwalk that crosses open water but the boards didn't look stable. There was another boardwalk that was washed away from the last hurricane and hasn't been repaired yet. We were able to see a few different kinds of birds on a quiet and relaxing Thursday morning. The beach was clean and didn't have many people there. There are multiple access points to the beach from the day-use parking lot and the nearby campsites. Their gift shop offered a variety of souvenirs for purchase and the ranger was friendly when we asked her questions. We enjoyed our time and think it's a worthwhile stop to enjoy the hiking trails and beach without crowds.

Day Spa Patrons - 3 ladies We came just for massages and wraps and were rather rushed through signing in process then whisked down to a relaxation room. While finishing up the paperwork our therapist came to get us. No time to relax. No tour of the facilities, nor shown the changing room which also contained robes which we discovered way later. It was a cooler April morning and my spa room I was put in was cold. My therapist hands were cold as well. I asked right away if she could adjust the a/c and she said no. She did go get me another blanket. The message was very good but my feet were cold the whole time. I put my swim suit on and headed to the hot tub thinking this will be great. Hot tub was not even heated yet for the day - put was on. When I asked about it they said to go to the front desk. The lady scurried to turn it on. Also the Bathrooms needed toilet paper. There were No towels by the pool. No cushions on pool lounge chairs as shown in pictures. You would think when you first open up in the morning you would have everything ready and put out. A quick tour or instructions would be nice too. For the prices we paid the attention to detail so lacked. I asked where the showers where and was told none and that only certain services included a shower. So if you want to go to a really cool place and pay 5 star prices and the little details don't care to you, then this is your place. I'm so disappointed since I wanted to take a friend there when she came to visit. My take away is that their bread and butter are the overnight guests who sign up for the detox program. It's too bad since they could have a good amount of clientele who are just looking for a nice spa.

These were included and helped to busy up the day Detox program 1/5 The detox program they do is just not for me - it included a morning proprietary detox drink with vegan protein, tea, oil blended together. It was terrible and very difficult to get down. Lunch was a liquid as well and similar except with more green stuff in it - also tasted terrible and dinner was thankfully a delicious soup. The soup was a major highlight. I will absolutely be making some on my own at home as fall approaches. The reason I rate this so low is that for the cost of this retreat there should be an option for participants to have additional whole, organic raw fruits and vegetables as small meals instead of or alongside these drinks. Complete deprecation does not work for me and it's disappointing there isn't another option available to participants. The only way I enjoyed my time was by supplementing my eating with fruit and veg I brought in from a local grocery store. I shouldn't have to supplement a reatreat experience to enjoy it. Logistics 1/5 There was just an overall lack of logistical organization during the 5 days. As someone who has worked to do logistics for events I know this either makes or breaks an experience and in this case it broke it in a lot of ways. Everyone had to get their daily schedules from the front after our class and most days, despite this being told to us as what to do at check in, the front seemed surprised we all showed up (unprepared). Schedules were hand-written and on scrap paper and for me, despite email correspondence about my schedule pre arrival, incorrect. As a result I missed one of my services (they did provide a refund) but this was a huge gap in expectations v reality. The program also advertised buying additional oils to use in your daily drinks (cbd) but this wasn't in stock so again, a huge missed opportunity. COVID related - apparently in Montgomery county where the retreat is located masks are not required. There weren't a lot of people and a lot of opportunities to maintain 6 feet distance except in spa services (no one wore a mask). This was a bit alarming overall. I would have felt better if I'd have seen some kind of screening being done for everyone at check-in (temp checks at least) to give some sense of covid caution, but there was none of this. There was hand sanitizer in one shared common space but again, it just seems like more could have been done to give people a bit more piece of mind (temp checks since masks were not being worn). Overall, I got what I wanted and needed from the experience but only because I supplemented it with what I needed. Therefore I give it a 2.5/5. It was a great space to recharge and reconnect but manage your expectations around it being a "spa resort". If you've been to 4 or 5 star facilities where the service is impeccable this will fall short.

    Comfy yes, but Convenient? No…read more The Woodlands Resort has so much potential of being a perfect staycation upon driving unto the grounds, but from check in, slowly but surely, you see the extravagant smoke and mirrors of inconvenience that envelops this place. Just checking in is a hassle. Although they advertise in their welcome paraphenanlia that carts are available to take you from the visitor lot to the hotel from 12 to 5, the carts were parked and no one around to drive them. Note- the lot in front of the hotel where you check in is not for overnight parking- you will be towed! After driving around the lot twice, I pulled up and asked the conceirge if I could drop my luggage off while I parked and walked to the hotel. He told me no problem although I was not asked to check it in and get like a ticket to validate my pickup once I parked my car. Luckily, no one else had dropped off their luggage and shifts hadn't changed to have an issue. Check in was a breeze with the typical show me your license and credit card in case of incidentals. Note- They put a $150 hold on your credit card. You're asked if you want 1 or 2 hotel keys which I should have said two because I accidently locked myself out my room night 2 as I had changed bags and picked up the key sleeve without the key in it! That also proved to be quite easy as I just proved my identity through my address and telephone nunber without an id. Although the people were quite nice here, what wasn't so nice was the 2 little bottles of water they give you and no whee to fill them. Sure, get the ice bucket and let the ice melt into water but if you frequently drink water, that will not be enough! You have a little bit of luck when you attend meetings or breakfast in the conference center across the way where they'll have water available. Other than that, those two water bottles per day are all you're going to get! Additionally,, I was extremely disappointed that I found my room the next day not attended to and without water and towels and I had been gone from the room from 9am to 3pm. I called down to front and shared the disatisfaction and in 10 minutes I was given 2 extra bottles besides the two for the day and plenty of towels for my stay (or maybe they didn't want me contacting them again). The scenery of the resort takes away some of the inconveniences of the hotel. If you had to stay here for a conference for several days, you wouldn't feel isolated or enclosed inside since you have to walk outside to get to the conference center, the gym, and breakfast. However, we did have individuals that were present for the event I was attending that had limited mobility. It would have been nice to at least accommodate those individuals. I even helped other attendees carry luggage to their car to the visitor lot because AGAIN no one was driving around carts to assist people in this regard and it was the first weekend that summer had started ,so you know it was hot!!!! Drinks at the bar are slow as molasses with one bartender. The first night I was there, the young lady behind the bar looked so overwhelmed... I didn't even want to order, but someone else was paying for my drink and insisted, so I ordered a lemon drop. I did ask if she knew how to make it and she said yes. It wasn't the worse but not the best. Others in my party stated the same. I did enjoy the gym that had just enough cardio, weight machines, and other aerebic equipment to get a good sweat. Towels and water are in the room along with disinfecting wipes. Breakfast is plentiful with lots of choices. I do love a good omelet and fresh juice bar! You can request a cup of coffee to go too! Certainly if I came here again I would be prepared to have my own water and my walking shoes ready. Pretty location but an hour drive for me using the toll. It's a toss up if I would come back if the organization that organized the conference I attended chose this location for a conference next year.

    Another night, another hotel and it was a good one!…read more Here for a work trip, we were able to check in early and head to our rooms! The resort was very quiet as it was off season but very nice. Check in was fast and friendly- and on that note all the staff were exceptionally friendly! As we were leaving our Uber driver got confused and could not find the entrance so one of the staff members drove off to guide him towards us! The room was big, beautiful and very spacious as well as spotlessly clean! Loved the large balcony and large bathroom with plenty of counter space to get ready! The room was also quiet and very dark which made for a nice sleep! Beautiful grounds, well equipped gym! Great stay!

One of the highlights for me was how inclusive the food selection felt. I had a really tasty vegan curry and some churros that definitely hit the spot. The entertainment was nonstop. There's live music, plenty of shows to check out, and even jousting, which was so fun to watch. It's also super family-friendly--I saw lots of strollers, wagons, and wheelchairs, and everything seemed really accessible and easy to navigate. I love that your ticket covers entry without any extra hassle no paying for parking or dealing with a complicated ticket system just to buy food. That made the whole experience feel more relaxed and enjoyable. I'm thinking about making this an annual tradition. Definitely recommend checking it out! Although I think I went on the last day so you'll have to go next year!

While driving in there were several people guiding everyone where to park. Pay attention to the section you park so you don't get lost finding your way back when you are ready to leave. After parking we walked up to the Faire entrance, someone scanned our tickets and we were in. Once we were in we walked around. We watched some live music by Amanda Kitchens Carnival Sound Band. We shopped and I bought two crowns from Medieval Metal. We watched jousting and sword fighting. We ate pizza from Dante's, fries, and a Pineapple Dole Soft Serve from Robin's Kitchen and Sweets. Overall it was a fun filled Faire Day.
