Lajitas Golf Resort

The Candelilla is better than ever. We’ve been coming here off and on for 26 years and it was the best yet. My Alaskan salmon was excellent and my husband was extremely pleased with his hearty 8-oz filet. Karlo was spot on with the service and even kindly offered to snap a photo of us in celebration of our 26th anniversary. 😊 We love the atmosphere, especially the chance to dine outdoors. Kudos to the management and staff for taking the Candelilla to a new level of dining experience in the beautiful Big Bend middle of nowhere!

Lajitas Golf Resort and Spa exceeded every expectation and delivered an unforgettable luxury escape in the heart of West Texas. From the moment we arrived, the remote beauty of the Big Bend region—dramatic desert landscapes, rugged mountains, and breathtaking views along the Rio Grande—left us in awe. The scenery alone is worth the trip; it’s truly one of the most spectacular settings imaginable. We stayed in one of the spacious Boardwalk Condos, which felt like a high-end home away from home. The huge layout included multiple bedrooms, full bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, cozy living area…

Our stay at Lajitas Golf Resort was incredible. The rooms were nice, quiet, and perfectly set against the stunning desert landscape. The staff made everything feel effortless. The food was awesome. The bakery was our go-to for quick bites every day of our stay. The golf course was a highlight. It was in immaculate condition and the views were unforgettable along the Rio Grande. Truly a one-of-a-kind West Texas escape.

Lajitas Golf Resort is hands down, one of the most unique and breathtaking destinations in the country. Our recent stay was nothing short of spectacular, blending rugged West Texas adventure with the kind of refined service that makes you feel like the only guest on the property. The experience via JSX was incredibly nice and flawlessly handled, making the journey into the desert as seamless as the stay itself. The golf course is absolutely world-class. Black Jack’s Crossing is easily one of the most stunning courses I have ever played. The layout is challenging yet rewarding, and the conditio…

10/10 Amazing staff, stunning environment. When we arrived, unfortunately our room had several wasps inside. The front desk promptly moved us to an upgraded room- we’re thankful for the prompt response from the staff. I recommend Lajitas Golf Resort to anyone in the Big Bend Area

Just completed a 3 night stay at the fabulous Lajitas Golf Resort. The staff were very warm and welcoming throughout our entire stay. James assisting us to our room was most appreciated. The Resort location is perfect for accessing both the National and State parks plus there is world class golf on the premises. The accommodations are by far the best in the area and the dining, bar and breakfast cafe were each unique and fantastic. I highly recommend that you stay at Lajitas Golf Resort if you’re ever in the glorious southwest Texas region!

Recently stayed at the Lajitas Golf Resort. It takes a bit to get to and there isn't much around, but if it that's what you're looking for, then I highly recommend it. The staff are some of the friendliest I've experienced. The hotel is a mix of rustic, wild west and old tyme charm all bundled up together. It's an experience itself! The property is very quiet with a few different dining options. If you're looking for an out of the way resort, this might be for you!

For what it claims to be, this place is shockingly unimpressive. Guard your belongings, my wife’s watch was stolen. Service is equally disappointing. Our room was barely cleaned, supplies were never replenished, and Motel 8 does a better job. The food is passable, but the staff’s attitude overshadows it. Even the coffee at the snack shop was god awful. At dinner, our large party asked for an extra table and were told everything was “booked.” That was simply false. The restaurant stayed 90 percent empty and no one arrived. Staff also seemed unfamiliar with their own property, giving incorrect…

I was disappointed with my stay at Lajitas Golf Resort. While the bed was comfortable and the grounds gorgeous, that was unfortunately the only positive. The room in the Cavalry Post section was extremely weathered. The walls were beat up, furnishings worn, and overall it felt tired and neglected. The bathroom was especially bad. The hot water did not work, which made showering miserable. The Duraflame log provided for the fireplace put off so much smoke that it was difficult to breathe, making the room uncomfortable rather than cozy. On top of that, there was no clear or easy way to get in to…

We had a great experience at the resort. People were very nice and the room exceeded our expectations. Will definitely stay here again. We stayed here while hiking Big Bend.

We were absolutely blown away by our experience at Lajitas Golf Resort. We stayed three nights at Maverick RV Ranch and enjoyed dining at the restaurant, a private long-range shooting session, a spa treatment, and a round of golf. The food was excellent, and the spa treatment was truly first-rate. What made the experience even better was discovering such a hidden gem tucked away in far West Texas. You don’t expect to find this level of quality and service so far off the beaten path. Every staff member we encountered was outstanding — friendly, professional, and genuinely happy to be there.…

Very nice people, room decorations very beautiful, but that's where it stopped. Qualified HVAC and Plumbers needed. Wear your mud boots. I could go on but mama said, "if you can't say something nice..."
