Perfect for our anniversary getaway. They are very attentive and cabin was so perfectly prepared for our stay. Pool and bar were quiet and everyone extremely friendly. Super close to town for dinner and evening out.

Best Hotel in San Marcos

The location is perfect the size of our cabin was very spacious. Loved being able to walk down to the River and lobby staff was extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. Will definitely be staying here again!
Miriam, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Melrose River Club exceeded our expectations. The classic cabin we stayed in was very clean with a cool retro vibe. The property itself was very well kept. Our favorite part was the easy access to the river. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

We stayed here with a group of friends. The cabins were cute and everything was walkable and convenient. The pool was great! Staff sweet and accommodating! We will all be back next year. Relaxing place!

Melrose River Club really went above and beyond to help celebrate my post-chemo celebration! To the upgraded cabin, the champagne and balloon garland! It really made me feel special and celebrated! The place is absolutely inviting and so tranquil.

Honestly only stayed for one night. It was the best place available for a last minute trip to San Marcos. I’d definitely go back for a longer stay. The place seems really cool.

It was a weekend getaway with my husband away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to a tranquil quiet place where the ambiance was lovely.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and it was an amazing experience. The resort is right on the San Marcos River, a prime spot to float and enjoy the water. The pool is awesome and the bar is full service. The service from the staff as well as Max and Mel was phenomenal and second to none. The cabin was nice and had every amenity imaginable. While speaking with Max, the future plans of the resort made us excited to return in the future. We for sure will be coming back!

Hidden gem. Going through the neighborhood you would not expect this property. It was very quiet clean and cozy.

It’s a Casita! I loved how cute it was! Different experience compare to traditional Hotels. Check in and check out went smoothly. The only thing I had issues with was the amount of spider webs and spiders in the outside shower. Im

Property is beautiful, pool was great, casitas were cozy. We had a lovely time and will definitely return. We had a few hiccups but staff was accommodating and very prompt with fixing the issues. The first hiccup was the breaker blew, they were very prompt in coming out and flipping that for us. The other hiccup was we wanted a refresh for our casita but it was forgotten but the staff came over at 8 pm and brought us towels and chocolates, this was very nice of them. The overall vibe was excellent. Very friendly staff. I would highly recommend staying here.

This place is just precious! Very relaxing. My boyfriend and I spent a night here while I was in between my hospital shifts. Would love to come back!

This is a cute and unique property with several cabins and container housing options. I stayed in a container cabin and it was great for one person. It may be tight for two but it was super cute and well designed. I didn't get a chance to enjoy the pool or river but it looks like a great place to enjoy the sun and water.

Melrose River Club is a very nice new property

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It felt private, new, clean and comfortable. We were moving our daughter out of her apartment in San Marcos and it was very convenient. Would definitely recommend

Amazing property !

This is our second stay at Melrose river club in the same year we LOVE IT They do a Text system to ask for things and they are ON IT! Such a great property and staff ! Only small complaint is the bed is a bit hard for my taste some deep cushiony mattress pads would solve that ! We love it here and will continue to stay if we are in San Marcus :)

Fun getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the Melrose. Such a fun and unique property. We enjoyed the bar area by the pool. All staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The tiny home was cute, clean, and practical. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were so thick they hurt my neck. We found that the living room gets very cold but not the bedroom. Overall great stay!
Cristin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property was perfect!! The people were extremely kind! My husband and I stayed in the smallest container they had and it was just right for what we needed. I do wish there had been a chair for sitting and drinking coffee or even just to put your shoes on. Haha! Next time we will get a bigger place! I truly like that there were people on site in case you needed anything. The owner Max has really made this property one that you will go back to!!

Resort style pool and bar!

Just what we wanted! Away from city hustle and bustle but convenient to any needed services. Met owners who were superb. Spent a nice Friday afternoon at the pool and bar. Recommend Max’s Margaritas! Facilities nice and clean. We will return!

Last Minute booking

Spotless. The bed quality was amazing, the split AC unit was so great. The water Pressure was amazing. Parking right outside the unit. I noticed that the unit had an outdoor shower, which would be great if you use the pool, or access to the river. I know this is a new facility so check it out.
Mario, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

An amazing getaway to getaway. We were the first official guest and felt like we were home. The cabin wad great as well as the complimentary wine and Shakutari board. The owner (Max) and beautiful staff members made us feel great and was willing to help make our stay better in any way. This review does the experience we had no justice if you don't go and participate in the nature enrich location.
