Just Do It!!

We were looking for a quick cozy getaway for our immediate family and we could not have picked anything better! This resort is 30 minutes from our home, but when you are there you really feel like you are far away from it all!

This is a place for everyone...couples, family, friends, golfers, spa seekers, fitness fiends, wedding parties, even a "girls night (make it a weekend!) out"!

The rooms are nice and roomy and you can stay in a forest setting or by the main pool area... I emphasize MAIN pool, because there are many of them scattered on the grounds (so if you want more privacy you WILL find it!). There are shuttles to take you all over the grounds, so you don't have to walk long distances if you don't want to. Most likely you will want to walk because the grounds are so serene and beautiful.

The main pool has a great waterslide and underwater ocean murals. There is also a  dancing fountain and another large pool. The Cool Water Cafe serves great sandwiches and snacks. The kids get a HUGE chocolate chip cookie with their meal... and they are really tasty! The pool staff keeps the kids busy with games and crafts. They also bring around orange slices and frozen grapes! AND they have a poolside band on certain days and a Dive In Movie night! Too much fun!

The food in the restaurants is very good, much better than you would expect... the breakfast buffet is a must! Besides the usual, there is eggs benedict, belgian waffles, fresh omelets, delicious fresh squeezed o.j., a fresh variety of fruit... and my favorite (along with the eggs benedict!) was the serve yourself bowl of granola! Delicious!

The Woodlands Market Street and Mall is just a 5 min drive away and you can shop, hang out and eat at Cheesecake Factory, PF Chang's, Tommy Bahamas, Jasper's, Grotto, Landry's and several others.

Have I convinced you yet?! I know I am definitely going back!

And to The Woodlands Resort staff: Please don't change what you are doing! You are doing it all right, so please keep it up!
