Coming from Australia we had an idea of what Texas would be like and this fulfilled it! We only stayed 2 nights but they were amazing! Horse riding to breakfast, so much amazing food 3 times a day, super friendly family running it, loads of activities and time to do nothing too. We met some great new friends and will... More

We stayed for 9 nights at this fantastic, family-run ranch and had the best holiday of our lives. Setting is beautiful, food is amazing, activities are brilliant but best of all are the people who run this place and take care of the guests. What absolutely gorgeous, lovely people who make it their priority to make sure that you feel... More

This is a great family run place. The staff is very enthusiastic and helpful. They tried to teach 4 left footed New Yorkers how to country dance. There were opportunities to go horseback riding 2x a day and while we were there to learn how to use a bullwhip, use a bow and arrow, shot at a target.The food was... More

Pretty much the reviews say it all - great experience for the whole family. We got to ride horses twice a day, eat all we wanted, and the staff was great. You won't be disappointed with the BBQ items. Tip - One of the horses, Jack, was sweet and patient on the trail ride. My only complaint was our room.... More

I love that a big family owns and operates this ranch. They are all very friendly and accommodating. One of the nice ladies in the front office let me borrow her jacket to wear during the horse ride because an unexpected cool front came through. The BEST part was the cowboy breakfast outside. SO amazing- thick cut bacon, scrambled eggs,... More

My family and I went to the Mayan Ranch with our kids in March for Spring Break. We could not ask for a better experience and vacation. Anyone leaving less than a "5" rating is a loon! The Hicks family and made you feel welcome. The food was excellent and more than plentiful. My kids had a blast and did... More

My daughter (12) and I were in San Antonio for an army graduation. I decided to surprise her with a dude ranch visit. At the time I didn't realize there were other dude ranches in the area. I have to say this was the best part of our entire 8 day trip. We were only able to stay three days... More

The Mayan Dude Ranch is a great all inclusive place for a family reunion. We all had a wonderful time. March is the perfect time to go. Weather was perfect, cool mornings and evening, sunny during the day. This ranch is owned and operated by the Hicks family. They are experts at making everyone feel like part of their family....

We joined our daughter, her husband and two teenage sons for four days of horseback riding, hayrides, western dance lessons, a trick roper and three delicious meals a day. Entertainment for breakfast and dinner too. The American Plan includes a clean rustic cabin, all meals, and activities. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home.... More
