I had a fantastic stay at Moody Gardens Resort! The rooms were spacious and beautifully designed, providing a wonderful view. The service was exceptional, with staff eager to assist us throughout our stay. Although the dining options could use a bit more variety, the meals we had were enjoyable. The pool area is absolutely a highlight, making it perfect for families. Overall, this hotel offers incredible value, especially with the all-inclusive packages available, but I would love to see a few more amenities for kids by the pool.

I had a pleasant stay overall, with clean and spacious rooms that were quite comfortable. The nearby attractions, especially Schlitterbahn Waterpark, are a huge plus. However, the service could use some improvement as the staff seemed a bit disorganized at times. Dining options were enjoyable, but I felt they could have been advertised better to make the most of what they offered.
