Tanglewood Resort

Back in August we had the chance to stay at this fabulous resort as part of our group spiritual retreat and let me just say that it was the best experience of our lives! I got to enjoy a suite with my little friend and her family who live in Texas! It was amazing getting away for a while. I was on the couch while her and her family were in the bedroom. The staff was so amazing! Accomodations provided by our leader were perfectly chosen! I am fond of this and hope to visit again in the future!

As members of the affiliated Runaway Bay Club, my girlfriend and I recently enjoyed a three day, birthday / get-away at the Tanglewood Resort. The staff at Tanglewood were all professional in appearance and friendly. The entire facility was very clean and well maintained. A well designed, three (3) pool area with multiple waterfalls was so enjoyable and relaxing. Views of the sunset over the lake from the tower lounge were spectacular and, food at the bar and restaurant was delicious with a variety of reasonably priced dishes on the menu. And, we also had a great time at the new indoor pool / jacuzzi complex and in the game room playing ping pong. Thank you to Tina (Executive Chef) and the entire staff at Tanglewood for making our stay so enjoyable.

Love the suite we purchased. The pĺace was quiet and clean. The place is a little remote. They have a few things to do but the restaurants in the place and nearby isnt the best. Best times to go is during the weekend. Its more things to do. Boat rides, tours, horse back riding and golfing. They even have a lake beach nearby. Other than the dining its a awesome resort.

This was our first visit to Tanglewood Resort. Absolutely loved it! The three pools to choose from are great, our little ones loved the 1ft kiddie pool. The rooms were nice and clean. The staff were all super nice. We will definitely be returning in the future!

Booked two rooms (one double-master combo and one double) for a Bachelor Weekend as a base for hiking, swimming, and other outdoor activities. Couldn't be happier with this location. The rooms were spacious, clean, well maintained, and exactly what we needed. The distance to all our activity locations was perfect for the group. Loved the outdoor grills next to our building and the pool was nice if a bit chilly (we did go in October so factor that in). The staff is amazing, responsive, courteous, and professional. I would absolutely book this spot again if I was headed to this area. Our only complaint were the cobwebs in the ceiling over the dining room space that had an impressive amount of dead bugs caught in them. It was the one spot the cleaning staff seems to miss: corners of ceilings. Otherwise, it was excellent.

I have been to the 3 pools multiple times to enjoy swimming and sunning myself, You do have to check in with the front desk to be able to get a wristband for the pool.
I've been to The Whiskey Bar, Tanglewood Bar and the Grill and Lakeside Restaurant. The food and drinks are great. The people are helpful.
I personally haven't played golf here but I know people who have played here, who love it.

Booked one night for a last minute Mother's’ Day weekend with our daughter and grandkids. I had stayed here in the mid 1990s for a business retreat. The resort opened in the 1960s and was obviously dated but nice. I was amazed to discover how beautifully the resort had been maintained! The rooms were very clean and our villa was huge. The food was delicious and entire staff very friendly and accommodating!

My only recommendation would be to acquire more than one golf cart to rent.

We will return! Highly recommend!

I have been a member with Tanglewood and live here. They have gone above and beyond for me today! I have special needs that were graciously accommodated for me and I wanted to truly say Thank You!!

We read the reviews before arriving so we managed our expectations accordingly. Honestly, the steakhouse for the price was disappointing but we expected it to be based on what we had read beforehand but we wanted to just try it anyways because aside from the bar and grill, there are really no other food options unless you head down to the marina to that dockside restaurant. We ordered a pricey steak medium rare and it came out medium well but it wasn't the end of the world and the flavor was fine. Otherwise, there is literally nothing to complain about. I did not see a single ant in the hotel. The staff was nothing but extremely responsive and cordial. The pool wasn't done yet but it looks like it will be amazing when it is. The room (we stayed in a king in the main resort) was extremely clean and comfortable. The shower could be compared to a power washer so there is no lack of water pressure. For a couple needing a break from kids, work, or whatever, this place was perfect. The golf course, although pricey for its current condition, was super fun. Overall we had an excellent time and will 100% be back. We loved the tower as well and all of the live music that was provided at numerous locations. Not to mention the sunset from the tower was incredible. So for our needs of R&R, this place totally deserved 5 stars. Loved it.

My husband and I stayed this weekend for our anniversary and we will be making this place a Vacation spot for our family every summer. Hands down the best vacation we have been on in a while. The room had plenty of space and felt like home. The entire staff everywhere we went was so kind and great. The bartender by the pool was my favorite! Highly recommend Tanglewood!

Why would anyone go to a lake resort in December? We have a little dog and did not want to board her. We were looking for a get away that we could drive to. We live in Dallas, about an hour drive from the resort, so it seemed to be the right location. We arrived and went to our villa. Walking through the door, I cannot express our delight. The place was perfect!! We are clean freaks and this place was not only beautiful but also sparklingly clean. Lunch at the bar was great overlooking the pool. Try the turkey avocado sandwich. The tower bar is the best!! If you like a romantic view and great drinks, watch the sunset while sipping a great scotch or martini. The steakhouse meal afterwards was the perfect end to our evening. Perfectly cooked steak with the best brussels sprouts ever made. The staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly. This will be our get away in the future.

We went to dinner at the steakhouse. The shrimp cocktail was probably the best we have ever had. The sauce was exceptional. We split the escargot and the scallops. They were both very good too!! Our server, Kat did an exceptional job. She was very attentive and cordial. We are looking forward to our next meal there.

If I could rate this 4.5 stars, that's what I would do; in lieu of that, I'll round up. This place is perfect for a weekend getaway, no doubt about it. The staff is friendly and attentive, the grounds are nice, rooms even better, and the food excellent.

This place has been around for a long time - like a fine wine, it has aged well. If you are looking for an up-to-date posh place this ain't it - but that's part of its charm.

The only disappointment is the lack of heated swimming pools, which we understood to be available. I'm not sure if they are having problems with them or just opted to save money, but they were definitely not heated during our 3 day visit.

The Commodore Steakhouse is reasonably priced and has excellent food - both dinner and breakfast. Barnacles is also tasty, if not the tiniest bit overpriced.

Very quiet and peaceful place. I was there for a weeknight stay and booked a king room with lake view. The window in my room opened, so I could have fresh air. The staff was very nice and helpful. The area around Tanglewood is gorgeous! Just don't expect a state-of-the-art and modern property - this is an old and kind of funky resort, which is my thing. Next time I go I plan to try out the spa.

My 1st time there and had a blast. The staff at the check in area, pool area, maintenance, and housekeeping our party of 6 encountered were all fantastic. Breakfast inside Tanglewood Resort was delicious and again the staff was fantastic. Dinner at The Island was delicious and staff was fantastic. Our party of 6 really enjoyed our dinner using The Island Table Patio area. I RECOMMEND this location to everyone. Call ahead to ensure Availability. Thank-you very much for providing us with a queen size air bed to accommodate our family. The air bed was very comfortable.

The hospitality here especially front desk girls are amazing. So super friendly outgoing really make you feel welcome. Resort itself fun been coming here since 1998. Only wish is they budget for state of the art fitness center. No treadmills at all n it’s scary down there lol. Game room needs facelift. Tower lounge is awesome. Loved it!! Grounds are spotless n lot staff see working hard. Be back for another 25 years 👍. My 60th birthday couldn’t have been better.

Had a fantastic stay, Misty the receptionist greeted us and very informative on what to do during our stay. The resort very clean and maintained. The room big in size and fully equipped with a full size kitchen. Connie one of the bartender at Barnacle was great, very entertaining and friendly. Wish we could have enjoyed the pool more, water and weather was not in our favor for this trip. Will highly recommend this place, looking at scheduling a trip in the future.

We arrived today and have already fallen in love with the Tanglewood Resort. Angela and John were amazing. We ended up switching rooms (no fault of theirs, it was a booking company issue). They were extremely accommodating and went far beyond what we expected to make sure our stay was wonderful. The service has been exceptional by other staff members as well including the gang at Barnacles restaurant/bar. To top it all off, they had live entertainment by the pool. With all the social distancing safeguards, it was a real treat to eat dinner poolside and listen to the music. We'll definitely be back!

I have stayed at dozens of hotels, this was on the top of the list of best experiences ever. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect to celebrate our anniversary weekend. This was our second visit and they have added a tiki bar by the heated pool. It was so relaxing to sit by the pool, order a drink, and someone bring it to us. There were fresh cut flowers around every corner. Upon arrival, we had an Anniversary Card, Charcuterie Board, and Wine waiting in the room for us. We had massages scheduled at The Tranquility Spa & Salon that were so amazing and relaxing. The Commodore Steakhouse was amazing. The staff was friendly, had smiles on their faces, and the food absolutely melted in your mouth. I also have to mention because I have been a waitress before and I always notice things. This group of employees were working as a team to make sure everyone's expectations were met. I saw employees doing several different things to make sure the job got done. It was awesome to see such great teamwork and no one complaining. Tanglewood Resort and The Commodore Steakhouse went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. If you haven't checked this place out I highly recommend. 5 Star Visit!!!

We were upgraded to a suite in the Tower, and it made for a fantastic trip. Amazing lake views, and quiet, and peaceful. The staff was wonderful. The facility is older so if you want a modern resort, this probably isn't for you. It's not close to a big city so keep that in mind. It was perfect for my travel plans, and I will return as long as I can reserve the suite again for the incredible view.
