Overall we had a wonderful time at this property. It was spacious, clean, and had tons of activities. My only comment would be that it is very far from Austin and the listing doesn’t reflect that accurately.
Paradise Resort is a beautiful property right on Buchanan Dam. The grounds are spectacular and much larger then the photos do it justice. The pool is beautiful. All the family had a great time.
We had an amazing time with our friends. They really had everything you needed to have a great weekend. The property was clean and looked better than the pictures.
The property is absolutely beautiful! It was convenient to have two houses on site and there were many activities available. Would definitely recommend it for large groups. My issue is that we experienced a lot of maintenance issues. The stove was broken when we first arrived, the dishwasher started leaking Day 2 and had to be replaced but then it still wasn't functioning properly, the floor of the steam room gave out as our friend was leaving (thank goodness it wasn't a large hole). But the hosts were very responsive and attempted to fix things in a timely manner.
We had a team annual meeting at this property which provided a fantastic retreat for ten of us to reconnect and launch our 2023. Having good close food options and a great grilling setup along with fun evening settings at the fire pit was a wonderful experience.
This was really a resort. It was an absolutely fantastic stay. We went through the gates at this property and were in shock! It had a great yard, pool, volleyball court, outdoor barbecue, everything we needed. We especially loved all the little things like all the fresh towels, k-cups, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Plus the steam room and sauna. We were spoiled! Loved this place and would recommend to anyone.
It was awesome! we had an amazing time with the family, it was perfect it had enough rooms, beds, and bathrooms for our 34 people, kitchen was big enough for the ladies to cook big meals. the gazebo was great with all the grills, we did a lot of cooking outdoors. Swimming pool and spa was in use every day. Took a lot of pictures for memories and the view of the outdoors was so pretty. We will be back, we loved it! :)
This house was really well equipped for groups. We were there with a multi generational family group. Bbq area and patio seating were amazing, e we enjoyed relaxing and looking at the view of the water. We loved the big grass area for games and relaxing. We had a few things break and not work while we were there and they were very quick to fix any issues. The little loft area didn’t work out for us to use and the beds could be more comfortable but other than that, everything was perfect! Would definitely stay again with a large group.
Everyone was impressed with the property. Lots of activities and a whole lot of different ways to cook for a fair size gathering. Lots of fridge and freezer space too.
Update needed to the floor plan layout. It isn’t quite accurate. Host very responsive to questions.
The host was fabulous! Communication before and during our stay was excellent—responsive, helpful, and always on point.The property offered plenty of activities and amenities, making it a perfect location for our family reunion. There was truly something for everyone to enjoy, and we created many wonderful memories.Our only criticism is that the property did not fully reflect the photos online. While the home was enjoyable, some areas could benefit from maintenance updates and general upkeep.Overall, we had a great experience and appreciate the host’s hospitality. Thank you for helping make our family reunion special!
This property exceeded our expectations, the host were so wonderful and responsive and the photos truly don’t do it justice if we have the pleasure to stay here again we 100% will!
Lovely resort like property, plenty of space both inside and out. Easy to gather our group all together in the main room with plenty of seating as well as multiple areas to get away from everyone in case you need some alone/quiet time
Amazing resort-like home for our friend gathering. We were able enjoy the grounds all weekend to reconnect in both smaller groups and as an entire party.
Place is in great shape and the one minor thing needing addressed was accomplished in 15 minutes. Overall an excellent choice to entertain your family or group of friends.
We had a wonderful time. The facilities are great for a large gathering. Management was extremely responsive and the place is well maintained. We have several retreaters planning to stay at Paradise on their own!
My family recently stayed on this property and highly recommend it. The property has so much to do with volleyball, ping pong, pickle ball, basketball, pool tables, swimming, and lake access. All the rooms were great, and the kitchen was big. The coffee setup was great in the mornings. The outdoor living space was awesome including all the grills to cook. We will definitely look to try to come back.
