So relaxing! I had the greatest day at Lake Austin spa! Everything about it was relaxing. The location of the spa is just enough removed from the city that you feel like you are really getting away from everything. When I checked in, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. I loved that the atmosphere and the people were all very relaxed and down to earth...not pretentious like some places. The Blue R... Read More On CitysearchatxKaren 1/4/2010
The Worst Experience at a Spa I've Ever Had My husband and I were recently at the spa. I can tell you with certainty we won't be back. Our visit to the spa was most disappointing. I have been to the Camelback, the Couer d'Alene, Amelia Island Plantation, and The Woodmark to name a few. In all my visits to spas across the USA I have never had the displeasure of being spoken to in a derogatory tone while being hurried out of my private suite...

Beautiful Destination Spa I went to Lake Austin Spa Resort for a girlfriend's pre-wedding bachelorette party. We were looking for a place to relax and unwind before the big day and Lake Austin Spa was the perfect spot. The facility and grounds are beautiful and the pool is a great place to lounge. We all got different treatments and then relaxed by the pool and sunbathes. My massage was awesome and we even had lunch in th... Read More On Citysearchmayoatx82 5/29/2009
Not going back! Horrible experience! After seeing this spa at several magazines I expected at least a decent massage. I had a really bad experience and I am not going back. First off, I requested a female masseur but a guy showed up. I decided to give it a try since I've never had a male masseur before and it turned out to be a disaster. He never got the right amount of pressure and whenever I ask him to put less/more pressure, ... Read More On Citysearchgourmethunters 2/12/2009
Good swedish massage, average pedicure I was expecting a little more from one of the top rated spas in the United States, but everything seemed about average with this visit to the spa. The changing facilities were nice, the robes & flip flops were nice. The blue waiting room seemed nice enough, very quiet. The massage was good & she asked if there were any special areas to be worked on. They had some complementary crackers & beverage... Read More On Citysearchblackbeltgoddess 9/17/2008
beautiful, luxurious, love it Take advantage of the accommodations such as the sauna, whirlpool, steam room, indoor lap pool, and outdoor swimming pool. All of these are yours to use for the entire day when you go to the Spa. The setting is gorgeous, the people are wonderful, there are pathways and trails down to the lake with flower gardens all around. It is obvious that this place spends a lot of time on the little details.... Read More On Citysearchtart07 6/23/2007
JUST OK THE SERVICES WERE OK BUT OVERLY PRICED. THE SETTING WAS PRETTY BUT NOT REALLY WORTH DRIVING SOOO FAR OUT OF THE WAY. FOR A SPA BEING RATED TOP TEN IN THE NATION, IT WAS OK, BUT I HAVE HAD MUCH BETTER IN AUSTIN. SEEMED A LITTLE SNOOTY Read More On Citysearchashboyd806 5/23/2007
Way over priced! Facilities are beautiful....the spa, pool and lake area are very nice. However, the pricing for the massages, facials and food are too much for what you get. Food is way below average...nothing special. The massage and facial are no better than what you get at a smaller more afforable spa. Read More On Citysearchwabalex 5/7/2007
Best Spa in Austin It is worth saving your money for a spa experience at Lake Austin Spa. I have been frequenting this spa since 2002. It was great then, but in the past year they have made amazing renovations that made Lake Austin Spa a 5 star experience. If you make an appointment during the week you don't have to pay for the extra locker room fee. Although, if you have the money, the locker room serivce is wo...

Now, THIS is a spa! What an experience! This place is top-notch from the facilities to the staff, to the yummy spa cuisine. The environment is so relaxing! I've visited many other "spas" in Austin, and most of them have a lot to learn from this place. Great experience! Read More On Citysearchtonyacook 5/14/2006
overwhelmingly peaceful I was lucky enough to be sent to Lake Austin Spa for half a day for my birthday. While I was there, I received a massage and facial. Both were wonderful - relaxing in every way. All the staff here is friendly and professional. I also had lunch in the cafe, and for spa food, it was very filling and scrumptious. the sauna and locker room were both spacious and immaculate. The grounds and pool are...

Lake Austin is wonderful This is by far the best day spa I have ever been to. Their service is absolutely excellent. They have a wide variety of services to choose from, either in a package or a la carte. The only downside is that they are somewhat expensive. However, they are worth every penny spent here. I try to come out to them as often as possible. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 3/25/2006
Heaven on Earth It is an experience I will never forget! It is more expensive than other dayspas however you get what you pay for. Attentive staff, great food but most of all the treatments. They are world class and so unique. You will not find anything like this around! No question about what I want for Christmas... Read More On Citysearchdrienne33 1/5/2006
My sister and I came here in April My sister and I were pleased with the results of our facial treatments (facial for me and microdermabrasion for sis). We both received coffee body treatments, which were amazing. The scrub leaves your skin super-smooth and polished looking. The massage leaves you feeling utterly and completely relaxed. They do something incredible with your hair that just makes you tingle all over. We both got co... Read More On Citysearchsuperthao 11/28/2005
spa The only problem with the Lake Austin Spa, is that there is TOO much to chose from! You could spend a month there and not get bored! I've figured out what I want for every birthday from now on! Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 11/24/2005

Exquisite As soon as you enter the gates you know this is like no other spa. The staff treated me like royalty (even though I had a gift certificate from a year ago that was about to expire) and made me feel completly comfortable. I went for a manicure/pedicure, but was pleased to discover I could also use the whirlpool, sauna, steamroom, swimming pools and the list goes on. The info above is somewhat wro...

Zen Ultimate This is a totally enveloped retreat into the essence of getting in touch with yourself. Nature offers such awesome beauty in a setting where the staff is actively involved at a high personal level with their own whole body health programs and knows from their own experience how to help you achieve the same goal. The treatments are exceptional, and the facilities first class. The gardens and Lake ... Read More On Citysearchccrider 7/24/2003
Skimping! I had two treatments at Lake Austin and they wouldn't give me a robe to wear in between because the treatments were a la carte and not part of a package. When you're spending $300 in 2 hours, you'd think they could spring for washing a robe. Read More On Citysearchmicksgirl 6/5/2003

Responsive Staff My first trip out there, I had a hot rock massage scheduled. Turns out I'm not an ideal candidate for this type of treatment, I couldn't take the heat... but the masseuse gladly switched gears and gave me a Swedish instead, which was wonderful. Another time went for a classic mani and waited about 45 mins past the scheduled appt time only to be rushed thru my service. The hand massage lasted ab... Read More On Citysearchmerrymugs 10/14/2002
A bit of heaven... I had the pleasure of being able to have my spa treatment at Lake Austin Spa Resort. It was a Christmas present from my parents and let me tell you, it was the BEST present I've ever received. I picked the full body massage and I felt like I had gone to heaven -- it was absolutely wonderful. The staff of "angels" were terrific!! And the view was magnificent -- I felt like I was in a whole dif... Read More On Citysearchtaylor94 8/22/2002
