Guests get the muscles pumped at the fitness center or relax in the selection of outdoor pools. They can fill up on steak or seafood at the restaurant and then gather at the espresso bar.

Horseshoe Bay Resort
Guests enjoy the view of Lake LBJ from this hotel's guest rooms and suites. They are also automatically entitled to full privileges at Horseshoe Bay Resort of which there are many. The pool is not only heated, but adorned with fiber optic lighting to create a fantastical light show from above and below. The fitness center allows 24-hour access to treadmills, weight machines and exercise balls. The full-service spa will have the muscles stretched and the spine straight as guests head out to the tennis courts or any of the three Robert Trent Jones-designed championship courses. There is also an 18-hole putting course made of real Bermuda grass for that extra feel of authenticity.
