I am writing to formally express my outrage regarding the abysmal experience I had during my stay at your property from May 15–18. Despite your claims of being under new ownership, the conditions I endured were unacceptable, and your repeated failures to follow through on promises only add insult to injury.
Upon arrival late on May 15, I spent nearly two hours making phone calls to get into my cabin, as the provided code didn’t work. Finally, someone arrived at 1 a.m. to unlock the door. What greeted me was a nightmare: dead bees everywhere, no blinds or shades on the windows, and an unclean comforter that clearly hadn’t been washed in ages.
I was told the cabin would have a full-size fridge and freezer, yet there was only a tiny mini-fridge that could barely hold anything. Your listing also promised working Wi-Fi and TV, but neither worked the entire time I was there, despite a staff member spending nearly an hour trying to fix it.
The conditions didn’t stop there. The fan made a noise like a jet engine, keeping me awake. I had to hang up sheets for privacy and to block the early morning sun because no shades were provided. The lazy river was closed for my entire stay due to mud, and two wakeboarding sessions I paid for were canceled due to weather, with promises of reimbursement that have still not been fulfilled.
Your staff and management were indifferent at best. When I spoke with your manager, he made endless excuses about being under new ownership and offered no meaningful solutions. The general attitude of the staff was dismissive and apathetic, despite the property being practically empty during my stay.
Your prices are absurdly inflated for the poor quality of your accommodations and services. Charging $175 a night for a cabin in such a state is highway robbery, and $4 for a can of beer is an insult to your guests.
This was supposed to be a getaway to enjoy wakeboarding and relaxation, yet it turned into a frustrating ordeal with empty promises and substandard conditions. Waco, Texas, and your establishment, in particular, have proven to be a complete joke.
I demand reimbursement for the two canceled wakeboarding sessions as promised and a partial refund for my stay due to the numerous issues I endured. If this matter is not addressed promptly, I will escalate my complaint through reviews on every major platform and consumer protection agencies.
Jordan, you never followed through and I gave you months to make it right.
UPDATE…..2/19/25. Jordan reached out individually and was very apologetic and explained to a T where they dropped the ball with zero excuses. They made it right as far as financially, they also made me feel as if the issues I brought up have been taken care of and they are all doing their best at Waco surf to bring the best product they have e to work with to their customers.
Only complaint would be the lack of guidance from the front desk. When we checked in(bought tickets online) they just gave us our wristbands and went back to chatting with other employees. So we just wondered off and looked for what we thought would be the start of the lazy river and luckily guessed correctly.
If you're thinking about taking surfing lessons, you will discover that you absolutely have to have a reservation. From what I understand, they are open until Christmas Eve, and the crowd dies off after August. When the weather is hot, so is the water; stay hydrated!
The water slides are more than you would expect. I went off the second highest one and completely wiped out. The second highest one actually launches you the farthest in the air. The highest one launches you the longest distance. I have been sore for almost a week!
There is nothing that's really middle of the road activity wise. It's either the pool and lazy river or learning to surf, wakeboarding, and going down slides.
I'm not a lazy river guy, but those who are tell me it is fantastic and very long. You will have to get out to get a beverage
We brought the whole family from toddlers to grandparents and everyone had a wonderful day!
We reserved a beachside cabana and purchased dual entrance to the water park! I would definitely recommend doing the same if you’re entertaining a lot of ages and personality types.
We went on Memorial Day weekend. It was busy, but not over crowded.
The wedge/slide side gives the high energy of a busy lake side party.
The beach side is very relaxed, quiet, and chill.
It was nice to be able to enjoy both.
Feedback to Waco Surf & Notes to future visitors:
*I wish the website was a little more user friendly and disclosed information in a more accessible way.
-You can not surf on the beach side without a reservation. You can not swim in the area where people are surfing.
The water access is limited on the beach side, which was perfect for our younger children and older grandparents.
The teens much preferred the wedge/waterpark side. This could be better explained before booking.
Although, Iit is great fun to watch the surfers.
-Children under 6 are free. Also not easy to determine while booking.
-The cabana price includes entrance for up to 8 people, you can only find that information after clicking several links. (That should be more clearly defined upfront.)
-The wedge side has cabanas that are available to rent, at the pool/slide side, but that information is hard to find when booking. Not sure why that is.
-Also, it would be great if the cabanas came with a waiter for food & drinks orders.
Besides a few web design & marketing errors, I have no complaints!
We all had an enjoyable day!
Good food, at reasonable prices. I was nervous about that as there is nothing else nearby. But it worked well. I do wish there were some other food options for breakfast but won’t complain.
Board selection was also decent, and I had been a bit nervous about that too but it worked well.
Only gripes I had is that a first time visitor it would have been great to be given an orientation. First session was a bit chaotic as several first timers like myself took a while to figure out the protocols. But eventually it all worked out. A couple of sessions got very confusing/annoying when they allowed a couple of parents (seemed like the parents weren’t paying as they were not even surfing unless there was a clear opening) to be there with their kids to push the kids into the waves, this kept messing up the flow for a lot of the rest of us there and made things very frustrating at times.
A big gripe I have is the lack of a phone number to reach someone after hours. Was very nervous arriving there late at night and not being able to reach anyone at all if I couldn’t get in my room or need some assistance. A couple of other people I spoke to had the same feeling. I get not conducting most of your business over the phone but at least an emergency line should be provided given the location is a bit removed from everything else.
Would also have loved seeing yoga classes once or twice a day and a masseuse available. And really wished the shop sold some pain conveniences, like tiger balm for using after hours of surfing and sore muscles. But those would just be a bonus I suppose.
This is a terrific place to visit, a few small things as mentioned above would definitely earn it a 5+ star rating. I plan to return for sure to improve my surfing but would love to see a few improvements too for even better experiences in the future.
Parking was a breeze and getting around couldn’t have been easier - everything clearly marked and laid out. Hats off to you guys for nailing the details right from the start!
We bunked in one of your pool view rooms, and it was an absolute hit. Checking in to a clean - ready room!
But let’s talk about the main event - those waves, they were insane! Your surfboard rental options are top-notch, a great selection to every level of surfing expertise. The guidance from your team on board selection? Spot on, helping us make the most out of our surf sessions.
The advanced sessions were where the real magic happened, though. Big shoutout to the lifeguard who was out there with us, offering pointers and tips that seriously upped our game. It felt like a masterclass right there on the water!
I can safely say we’ve found our annual surf pilgrimage spot. Waco Surf, you guys have got something special going on, and we can’t wait to make this a yearly ritual. Looking forward to many more wave-catching adventures with you guys! 🌊
Keep up the great work, and see you next year!
The wave technology is awe-inspiring, and it felt like we were catching waves in the ocean right in the heart of Texas.
What truly sets Waco Surf apart, is the fantastic service we received. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made us feel at ease, provided clear instructions and ensured our safety throughout our visit. Their passion for surfing was evident and it added to the overall enjoyment of the experience.
The instructors at Waco Surf deserve special recognition. Their expertise and patience made surfing here an enjoyable and accessible endeavor. They provided valuable feedback, tips, and encouragement, which helped us progress and catch some memorable waves. Their dedication to teaching and ensuring that everyone had a great time was evident.
I can't emphasize enough how much fun we had during our visit to Waco Surf. It's not just a surf destination; it's a place where memories are made. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or a beginner, Waco Surf offers an unforgettable adventure that leaves you with a smile on your face.
We want to thank the entire team at Waco Surf for creating such an exceptional experience. The complex is a gem, your service is top-notch, and the fun factor is off the charts. Our visit was a memorable one and we can't wait to return for more thrilling waves and good times.
I was impressed by the very visible security. I witnessed them eject 2 different groups for being too intoxicated. I was surprised by the amount of alcohol consumption allowed. The staff did enforce areas where drinking was or was not allowed, but for a family friendly park I witnessed way too many inebriated, mouthy people than I expected. Even though smoking is not allowed in the lazy River, that didn't stop smokers. I would recommend staff be posted at various posts along the lazy River to enforce the rules.
We traveled from several states away and wish we knew beforehand there are no chairs unless you pay extra for the beach pass. People were bringing pop up gazebos, chairs etc so finding an empty area was difficult. There are also no lockers. You can bring in your own food and drinks, just nothing glass.
I found the staff to be polite but they did not explain to us on check in where the "beach" was we paid for. Speaking of check in, we prepaid and signed the waivers beforehand.
We were ushered to a line for people who had done this, only to find out that most people in front of us had in fact not done this, so the line was held up while everyone had to wait on them. The wait for pre-paid tickets was just as long as the walk in line.
The beach is basically a large wading pool that shares the same pool as the surfers. It's very shallow but when the waves come it can easily topple a child. You're paying for that, access to a taco/beer shack or a swim up bar that is a considerable distance away. I would advise folks to not pay extra for those things.
It was a fun day and I would recommend it as long as everyone knows what to expect.
I was impressed on how clean the park was, staff present everywhere, life guards and so much fun!! Good music and drinks.
Teenagers enjoyed the slides and we all had fun watching other guests down the slides.
We paid the nominal extra cost for private beach area where you can watch the surfers.
Totally go to Waco Surf!!
We rented a room at the park that was so dirty we didn’t stay. The refrigerator had leftover food from previous guest and the images online are very misleading on the 2nd bed. It truly makes me sick to think we paid almost $300 for a room we couldn’t sleep in. I tried really hard to convince myself the bed sheets had been changed between quest but with the condition of the floors and leftover food being in the room I just couldn’t sleep. We did enjoy the lazy river and found most staff to be very friendly but very little knowledge of the park. The lazy river had 1 lifeguard stationed at about the halfway point. We found ourselves at the top of the slide with a life jacket with no zipper. I really wish I would have looked at the reviews before booking this mini vacation. Also the window shade in the room couldn’t be pulled down without climbing up in the window area to grab ahold of it. The window shade also had bugs all in it.
A few more details: My boys first saw the slides on Dude Perfect some time ago and thought it looked awesome, so I figured it would be a good way for them to spend the day with my husband while my mom and I did a Fixer Upper Tour.
In short, on that first afternoon unexpected weather came in (including lightening) so they had to close the park early. My husband said the manager came around personally to all the parties there and offered a full refund for the day. Needless to say, we found ourselves back there for a second day on our vacation and our boys did the slides again and then two of my three boys (ages 13 and 9) tried the cable park - which they LOVED!
Personally, my husband and I were thoroughly impressed by the staff who were so kind an accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure the boys had a great time. The facility was also clean and we loved that you could bring your own cooler in. Overall, a very family friendly, laid back vibe.
All three of my boys listed our time at Waco Surf Park as the best part of our vacation and they want to go back. So glad we gave it a try, highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area!
We also ran into pros: Sage Erickson (surf) and Daniel Norris (baseball). They were very nice. She ripped.
You can bring your own food and cooler which is great and save a lot of money
You either can chilled all day on the lazy River or go crazy and keep sliding down the slide
Even better just sit there and watch people make a big splash
We had a wonderful time will definitely come back
We stayed on site and the rooms were a great size and the bedding was very clean and comfortable. The AC was huge as it was around 100 outside.
There are a few food options on site but we could only go to the burger stand near the slides. The smash burgers were awesome!
They were very helpful and laid back. They made it feel welcoming and really gave great advice on how to catch and surf the wave.
This is a top notch place. I definitely recommend you visit.
But now.. they're charging $129 for a 1-hour expert session?? That's outrageous. And yes, this price hike happened before all the inflation going on. It's literally double the price of similar wave pools in other countries (like the one in Bristol England) - why? Not worth it anymore. They should run more sessions (like at night) if they want to make more money, not hike the price as high as they possibly can.
A few down sides: First there are very few signs, directions, or interactions with staff for first timers. It definitely gives off the vibe that this has been a local gem that is just now really boosting their online presence. We managed to figure it out in the end though. Second the pools/lakes were decently clean but the lazy river was murky. I'm going to chalk this up to run off which is really unavoidable given the property's location. They do have a filtration/sanitation system for the lazy river so it's nothing horrible. But I would suggest keeping your head above water in the lazy river. Third there is plenty of drinking and vaping/smoking. It didn't bother us at all but if you are someone that chooses not to be around those things this park might not be the place for you. Lastly there is no where to lock up any of your stuff. So prepare to bring phone/wallet into the lazy river or put some serious trust your neighbors.
TL;DR If you are looking for a very relaxed vibe this is a great place for water sports or just fun in the sun! Bring your own stuff and you could stay all day. I definitely recommend it.
The only reason I didn’t give a lower rating was because I know this place can be fun. But it definitely gave off a weird vibe and none of the workers were helpful except for a man in upper management. He was nice and understanding and gave us a refund for the $300 hotel room without question and we really appreciate him.
My biggest advice would be to call often leading up to your reservation to make sure it’ll be open and to double check the hours of operation. Hate to say it but I don’t think we will be back, just not as cool as it used to be.
There is no one on the phones either, you have to email them
The photos are somewhat deceptive, so be sure you know what you are getting into before coming here
Tips = Bring your own inflatable or use their complimentary tubes. Bring your own food or purchase burgers from the surf shack. Bring your own refreshing beverage and toss in extras for friends! Arrive early for some shaded picnic areas with a great view of the slides/Royal Flush. Your littles will appreciate the addition of some sand toys for the surf/wave beach.
There were over 20 of us meeting there for fun in the sun - all of our 1st trips to BSR... 5 stars from everyone.
Side note. Be prepared for 54minute round trip on the lazy river. It’s a slow steady flow that is relaxing - not taxing.
