Melrose River Club is such a fun and relaxing spot right on the San Marcos River. The river is just steps away, so it’s super easy to float, swim, or just sit by the water. The pool area is a highlight. Big, lively, and perfect for hanging out with friends, plus there’s a bar right there. We stayed in one of the container casitas and loved it. It was cute, clean, and cozy, with a cool outdoor shower that made it feel like a little glamping adventure. We will definitely book again.

Perfect getaway for a couple.

Was a great stay for our anniversary trip. The cabin was spacious and very homey. We didn't want to leave. The pool was great and a great atmosphere on the property. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The bed was one of the most relaxing and comfortable beds we have had anywhere we stayed. Would go back again anytime we go to san marcos.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Stay here!

Our stay here at the property was amazing!! We stayed one night as San Marcos is a halfway point to our destination. I usually don’t write many reviews unless I’m over the top of impressed!!! The owners were so friendly and accommodating, very welcoming. My absolute favorite thing was the outdoor shower, This place is so relaxing and peaceful. This will now always be our halfway stop. Best start of my vacation!!

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.
