Hotel Viata

The photographs make this pool look like such a retry retreat but my husband and I couldn’t stop laughing about how absolute duped we were. The pool is shaded by the hotel building until noon so if you’re hoping for morning sun you won’t find it here. The pool bar is essentially a crappy fridge behind a counter. The day we visited, Memorial Day, the blender was “broken” so they couldn’t even make us anything like what’s pictured. The food the other reviews describe as so good? It’s all from the Italian restaurant in the hotel so unless meatballs poolside are your idea of a good time you’ll likely go hungry. Literally still amazed about how comically sad and depressing this pool area looked, the beautiful greenery must have died in the freeze because it’s just a slab of concrete, run down furniture, and 4 feet of cold water. Two stars because the parking was free and easy, the girl at the front desk was lovely, and I did laugh a lot.

Pretty drab…

We had a lovely day at the hotel, enjoyed a wonderful breakfast outside and then set ourselves up at the pool-scored three chairs, two umbrellas..and had a great day.  The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because pool bar/drinks didn't open till 12, and we had no water as were told outside drinks not allowed…and during time when bar was open the poor bartender was overwhelmed..drinks were great but not service to chair and wait times to get drinks got longer as more people came to pool..overall still worth it but be prepared to wait for food/drink/close out! 

Great location and staff!

I've bought several day passes before but this was one of the nicest pools i've experienced! They had a nice large hot tub, nice pool, a sauna, and a steam room. The views and overall vibe  of the hotel were pretty incredible too, def would recommend. 

Would recommend 

Professional staff. Very secluded pool area. Very quiet. Cabanas were comfortable and can you close the sides for some more privacy. It's not a place if you want to party. But a good place to relax without much commotion 

Lay low

Had to wait 40 min to get help with the cabana I reserved for the day . After 3.5 hours we got a server and she was very nice and got us the fruit basket ( part of the cabana) overall nice pool and clean but would love to be treated like a guest next time. 

Long wait time 

Clean, quiet, beautiful pool, nice amenities, and excellent hotel staff customer service. 

Great experience 

I took my mother for a daycation and she loved it.  It was her birthday and we just sat at out cabana and enjoyed the day.  My daughter and niece loved the pool and food, lol.  I look forward to going back real soon.

Nice get away

Beautiful hotel, beautiful pool. The scenery was amazing. Had a great time lounging by the pool. Will return again!

Amazing 

I went with my friends and we all loved it. The staff is nice, it wasn't crowded, the view and surroundings of the pool area are stunning! We were able to relax and have an enjoyable stay.

Super relaxing

The hotel sits in a private, quiet neighborhood of Austin. The staff was great. The food was phenomenal. The pool, hot tub, spa, and sauna were smaller than I was expecting, but the staff tells me that they're completely renovating the area later this year. Overall, great experience.

Relaxing, private location!
