The booking was confused. And required multiple conversations, the condo was not stocked...not even 8 plates as the booking was for. No soap for w/d, no bath supplies, not many pots or cooking supplies..not even baggies or salt and pepper. We have stayed at this condo site twice before..both were with the same exact group and the other condos were amazing and no issues...we will look for another venue next year.

The condo was very clean and comfortable and very spacious. There was only one frying pan so I had to use a pot as a 2nd pan when cooking breakfast. The pool in front of the balcony is very very small but it is convenient and there is a larger pool toward the river. We didn't realize there were free tube rentals available until we got our check out instructions. I had to call the office because we were short 2 bracelets and the girl who answered was extremely nice, but the lady who brought them was extremely rude. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this property.

Nice size condo, we had the 3 BR enough room for 5. I'd say it's too small for 8 people even though it says it could sleep 8. Hot tubs nice, pool by river is heated which was a bonus. We enjoyed walking along side the river. Kitchen utensils are sparingly and poor quality cooking pans if u plan on cooking (we made breakfast daily). Location was nice, new braunfels was great for going between San antonio and Austin

This is our 3rd time visiting New Braunfels and our 2nd stay at Waterwheel with River City Resorts. Our stay was good but the condo could use some attention. There is peeling paint in master bath, cooking pans warped and not enough glasses for 6-8 guests. The guest bath had hair we cleaned around the base of wall and toothpaste all inside the medicine cabinet. There was food under the couch and dust on the dresser and nightstands in master bedroom. The pillows need to be replaced,ice maker is loud and doesn't work well and the pot holders needed to be washed before being used. There is no dresser/ chest for clothing in bedroom with 2 beds. We have stayed with River city resorts before and will use them again in the future but this unit was not what we experienced with them in the past.

We were somewhat satisfied. Would I stay here again, probably not. Location was good, but it was more of an adult atmosphere rather than kids. In the evening adults drinking took over both pools so we really couldn’t hang out at the pool, we didn’t feel comfortable having the kids around all of that. Our first night we were kept up until 2 from drunk adults at the pool. Wouldn’t book the condo again.

The unit itself was great, plenty of room, but there were a couple big issues. First, the WiFi signal is awful and the unit needs a new router; the current one is outdated and we had to use a friend's WiFi hotspot. Second, the hot water heater or something must be broken. Any time we turned on hot water it smelled of sulfur/chemicals/rotten eggs; so we had to take ice cold showers during our entire stay. The rental service wants you to call the emergency maintenance person to come fix something (during your stay that's paid for) at the unit. We did not call them because we weren't about to waste half the day waiting or watching the person complete the job, and we weren't about to leave our belongings/valuables with some random individual. After sending an email to the rental service center upon checkout pertaining to the above issues, they didn't bat an eye or offer any kind of refund or credit, rather, they expected our group to sit and wait around for a maintenance man and waste half a day or more of our vacation. Great space, bad customer service and due diligence of checking these sorts of things before guest check-in.

My family with our college students enjoyed Spring Break at River City Resorts. The Waterwheel Condo overlooks one of the pools, and the resort sits on the banks of the Guadalupe River, is in walking distance of the Comal River, and is a short driving distance to downtown New Braunfels and Gruene. The condo is very spacious, nicely furnished, and clean. We had a great time and hope to return one day.

Reviewer Comments:
This was my fourth year (and sixth time) to book a vacation place in New Braunfels for a group of friends. At least four of those times, I've booked a condo at Waterwheel. As usual, the condo itself was well maintained and a pleasant experience. The thing that bothered everyone in our group was that for the first time, the main pool closed at 11 PM. It's bad enough that the small pools close at 10 PM on the weekend, despite everyone being allowed to stay outside on their patio much later than that.
In previous years, we've been at the main pool till 1 AM, and it was extremely disappointing to drive several hours after work on Friday to start our vacation at the pool, only to be asked by security to leave minutes after arriving and getting settled in.
We don't spend $1,000 for a relaxing weekend getaway only to be told we can't use the pool at night, even though we're all adults, no one was making any noise, and the pool is far away from any nearby condos. Even Saturday night, we were not back from dinner till nearly 10 PM which gave us less than an hour to use the pool.
It is very unlikely that we will stay at Waterwheel again due to this new policy. It hardly makes sense to stay at a sometimes crowded community with an 11 PM curfew when we could rent a whole private house with no curfew for a similar price.

Wonderful condo. Perfect for our family of 6. Close to everything. Extremely well stocked kitchen was really nice since we prepared most of our meals. Clean,well kept facility. Super easy rental agency to deal with. A+++ ! Would definitely return. Tons of space and wonderfully large/gated outdoor patio. Not many cons: ice maker didn't work and the love seat was peeling pretty badly on one cushion. I was worried my little ones would finish the job. :). Other than that... solid 10 out of 10.

We had a great visit at this property. It was very close to everywhere we needed to go. Most of the time part of us stayed at the condo. It was plenty roomy. Some things could have been better (dishes, ice maker, remote to tv did not work, rug needed cleaning in Livingroom). It's size was perfect for a large group and a lot of Winter Texans were in residence. It was a very friendly place. I would totally recommend it and intend to go back next year.

Home away from home. It was a safe,quiet and pleasant environment for spending a few days (grandparents, daughter and son-in-law, and small grandchildren). We would definitely plan to stay at Waterwheel again. It could be time for some spring sprucing of external entry ways etc. to enhance the general appearance, but all was well and our stay was great.

We were very happy with the property and the cleanliness. The management was helpful and provided good customer service. The only problem was the middle room was described to have a queen sized bed, but we found out it was full (which made for difficult sleeping for 2 larger adults). Also, that same room had a very bright exterior light that shined through the window at night and the blinds did not block it out well. Loved the property, pool, hot tubs, river access.

We had a nice winter although the weather wasn't as warm & sunny as it usually is. Met a lot of other winter Texans & several from Canada. Loved the pool/hot tub area & social get togethers on Wednesday evenings. And I personally loved going down to the big pool area & sitting inside the hot tub area with the waterfall & reading. Very peaceful & quiet. The worst part of our stay was the furniture in living room was worn & very uncomfortable. Needs to be updated hopefully soon.

This is the first year we've stayed in River City Resorts. We like the New Braunfels area & location. But we're on the 2nd floor & because there's another unit on top of us, it can be very loud! Of course that depends on who's in it! The first family who was there had small children & we heard lots of running up & down the hall & jumping off furniture/beds, etc. Now there's a single couple in it & it's not near as bad. We sill have 2 more months here so I'm sure we'll do another review before we leave. But overall, River City Resorts is wonderful & very accommodating. The girls in the office are very friendly & answer all our questions with knowledge of the area & their rules, etc.
