The pools were great, the views were great, the gym, the golf course and especially the staff were all great.

My husband and I went to celebrate my birthday and this was the best spa and hotel experience I had in my life. The level of customer service was exceptional. They did a lot of large things to help us celebrate like complimentary drinks and dessert, but it was also the small things that made this stay outstanding. Every single person on the staff went out of their way to make our stay special, like early check in that we didn't ask for, calling to make us reservations for dinner, wishing me happy birthday in the lobby because they heard us when we were checking in, and so so much more. The hotel itself, beautiful. The rooms, stunning. The property, gorgeous. Staff, consistently going above and beyond. If you're looking for a place to celebrate the special moments in your life I highly highly recommend going to the Omni!!

Can’t speak highly brought about this property. My first time ever staying at an Omni and it will absolutely not be the last. It started out with the Loyalty Ambassador, Paul reaching out personally to welcome me and ensure my visit would be exceptional in advance our visit. When we arrived. We recieved a room upgrade and some complimentary treats in the room for my birthday. Our dinner at Blind Salamander was EXTRAORDINARY thanks to our server Esther. She was 10/10! And the food was delicious. We had exceptional service from Draya at the front desk due to a mishap on my behalf. I won’t even speak about the one unpleasant staff member I encountered because everyone else was so over the top amazing. Also - the property is very kid friendly - so don’t hesitate to bring the kids along! My wife and I will absolutely be back here and are already planning our next Omni adventure.

I tagged along on my fiance's work trip and had a wonderful time at Omni Barton. The room was comfortable and always cleaned impeccably, the staff we dealt with were wonderful and helpful (especially Anthony at front desk, Ramsey at the bar and Kristopher at the pool). There is so much to do on site that I was never bored and happy to explore on my own while he was working. The restaurants we tried were all great especially Blind Salamander.

Had a completely wonderful experience at Omni Barton Creek. The staff is amazing, extremely welcoming and very helpful. They really made the stay extra special! Every location we ate at was delicious. And because I was there for an event, experienced the buffet which far surpassed other buffets I have encountered! And the banquet staff was also amazing! The hotel is in a beautiful location and really enjoyed the atmosphere!

I have stayed at the Omni Resort many times, and overall, I continue to have a wonderful experience. It is a beautiful, spacious property that is consistently clean, well maintained, and tastefully decorated. Despite its size, the resort always feels fresh and inviting. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean, and the views overlooking the pool and golf course are fantastic. Bob’s Steak & Chop House is excellent, although the portions are enormous, definitely plan on sharing an entrée between two or even three people! The breakfast is another highlight of the resort. The quality and variety of the food, combined with the atmosphere and excellent service, make it one of my favorite parts of staying here. The valet team also deserves special recognition. They are consistently polite, helpful, efficient, and extremely responsive. The pool itself is beautiful, clean, and one of the resort’s main attractions. Unfortunately, this is also the one area where I believe the resort needs significant improvement. The issue does not appear to be the pool staff themselves, they work extremely hard and do their best. The problem seems to be that the pool area is simply understaffed, particularly during the busy summer months. A resort of this size cannot realistically provide excellent poolside service with only three to five people covering such a large area. During a stay in summer 2026, my wife and I ordered a simple lunch by the pool, a burger and a pizza. Despite checking with the staff approximately every 30 minutes, our food did not arrive until several hours later. To the hotel’s credit, they apologized and did not charge us for the meal. During another stay in September 2026, we could not find a shaded place to sit around the pool. When we asked for assistance with an umbrella, we were essentially told that there were no additional options available, or that certain staff members were assigned only to specific sections of the pool. With the Texas summer sun, sitting poolside without shade simply wasn’t practical. We ultimately spent some time in the water and then left the pool area altogether. Again, I want to emphasize that this does not seem to be a lack of effort from the pool staff. In fact, seeing how hard they are working makes the staffing problem even more apparent. The pool is one of the resort’s signature amenities, especially during summer, and I believe it deserves significantly more staffing and management attention. During peak periods, having a much larger team dedicated to the pool area, perhaps 15 to 20 staff members across food and beverage service, umbrellas, towels, and general guest assistance, could completely transform the experience. Overall, I genuinely enjoy this resort and continue returning because so many aspects of the property are excellent. With better staffing and organization around the pool, the experience could go from very good to truly exceptional.

I just started my 5 night stay. The first meal that I had at Crenshaw’s was a $30 chicken with macaroni/broccoli, & all of the food arrived cold/room temperature. It always a strange dynamic when a Hotel utilizes the amenities of the adjacent country club. I am allowed to use the fitness area but my kids are not allowed in the kids play area. Country club members clearly take priority over hotel guests - not ideal. On a positive note, the room is big & spacious. Not off to a great start, but if it improves then so will my rating. Updated review: increased my rating from 3 star to 4 star. - All of the restaurants are excellent with the exception of crenshaws. I gave it another try, & it was just as bad as before (wings did not taste good & fries didn’t either - how do you mess up fries?) - I don’t recommend this resort if you have to bring a stroller. Two or three stair staircases do not have ramps. - I recommend this place for families who have kids not in strollers. It has beautiful views, Great restaurants, and incredible golf course courses.

We arrived late at night after a long day of driving and meetings, completely exhausted, and from the moment we pulled up, the Omni Barton Springs team made us feel welcomed and cared for. The valet team greeted us with genuine smiles and was quick to assist, making the arrival experience seamless and comfortable. Check-in was just as effortless and efficient, with such a warm and personal touch. Given the late hour and limited options nearby, the team went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. The F&B team was equally exceptional, having a beautiful breakfast set up and ready for our meeting the following morning. Every detail was thoughtfully handled. Overall, our experience was an 11/10. What stood out most was the genuine hospitality and attention to detail from every team member we encountered. Thank you to the entire Omni Barton Springs team for making us feel so welcomed and truly at home. We look forward to returning!
