I really enjoyed my stay at the Lost Pines. There was so much to do and see. You would have to stay more than a weekend to enjoy all of the amenities. In the summer, the hotel is busy, especially the weekend but the restaurants, bars, activities and amenities are available.

We took the sunset float on the Colorado and while it was not rapids, it was very fun and the river guide provided a wealth of knowledge about the ecosystem, conservation and even the unique Bastrop history. We ate at the Golf Club one day and the food was absolutely astounding, try the sweet potatoes fries and the wrap. The stories, the fine dining restaurant is great as well, though pricey. I enjoyed a glass of wine and the lamb and I was thoroughly happy, their service was great everywhere at the resort from the pool hut for towels to the bell captain with ideas of what to do upon checking in.

The pool area can keep the kids busy all day if you don't have horseback riding, bicycling, recreational games (at the pool and other places) or other activities already planned.

My wife enjoyed a treatment at the Spa Django, which was named after a famous gypsy guitarist, that's cool. She said that the private ladies pool and steam/sauna. She wanted to spend the whole day at the relaxing spa. I will return to play the golf course as it is stunning and they provide caddies for all of the rounds, something I am told is quite an experience. We will be back!
