    What makes it fun

    Ready to ride the wave of love with the one you love? Or maybe you'd rather let all your troubles float away on a lazy river. Waco Surf is the place for a day date filled with fun. At Waco Surf you can catch a wave and do some surfing, go wakeboarding at the Cable Park, relaxing in the lazy river, zip down the water slides, and catch some sun on the beach. Waco Surf also has overnight accommodations if you are looking to keep the fun going. You can spend the night in either the Surf Hotel, one of the cool cabins, or the private guest house.

    Just busy as any other water park in the world.

    To Whom It May Concern, (See update at end)

    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.

    Waco Surf offers an incredible experience for both beginners and seasoned surfers. The wave technology provides consistent, perfectly formed waves, making it easy to practice and improve skills. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to offer guidance and tips. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, perfect for a fun day out with friends or family. Facilities are clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall positive experience. Whether you’re looking to catch some waves or simply enjoy the vibe, Waco Surf is definitely worth a visit!

    We had the chance to have private sessions during a few days. Waco surf is a dream for any rider on the planet.

    *****Review for bartender yesterday 8/24/24 at 2 pm*****
    My family went to Waco Surf for my twin and I’s birthday, and we were the only ones at the swim up bar at the time. The male bartender was absolutely rude and unwelcoming. Acted put out that we were asking about drink options and was negative and unhelpful. We decided to leave the pool/bar because he made us all uncomfortable. We had rented a cabana, and chose to celebrate our birthday here, and the bartender almost single-handedly ruined our experience. Won’t be buying alcoholic drinks at this place ever again.

    It was a blast!!! Been on the bucket list for awhile and we finally made it out. Next time we’ll bring chairs, a canopy, and a better packed cooler so we can spend the entire day at the “beach” by the slides. The lazy river was a hit with all of us.

    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.

    Recommendation: IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Nobody explains anything to you. Nobody tells you what you can or cannot do. The operation is crazy. There is no order. They don't explain what areas you can use, they just charge you and in the end you don't use that area!!! It seems like a rip-off and fraud to me. First time for me and I'm sure it's the last time. Why go back to a place where they only mistreat you?

    Cheapest family fun I've found, we came from 3 hours away! Kids were free so we got a refund on our family pack. Downside no lockers for personal belongings but plenty food and nice staff. Will return!

    First timer here and we will definitely be back. As soon as we entered the park, everyone was so kind and helpful. Other guests have common courtesy and it's not overly crowded. The burgers are delicious and the park itself is clean.

    This place is very fun! Me, my husband, and my kids had such a great time. The only thing is is that we had such a long wait time. However, there was a nice young man named Brian that made the experience very pleasant. He was very reassuring and helped us get our tickets, as well as getting through smoothly. We will definitely be visiting as a family again soon!

    Jay, the instructor, was awesome and is experienced: Listen to him, and you'll actually get up!
    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

    Came here with a buddy last week, and we had a blast. We went to the six flags water park in Ft Worth this week, and the stark difference really made me appreciate Waco Surf. The Waco Surf Attendants/life guards are way more attentive and competent. The staff are friendlier and more helpful. The facilities are nicer. While there are fewer slides, they're way (like, not even close) more fun, and for me, a much much better deal. We got a cabin, which makes everything that much more affordable, which is so nice. I cannot recommend Waco Surf enough, and I highly recommend staying at the cabins/hotel if you're not local, you won't regret it!

    My family stayed here for one night and my kids and I attended a beginner session while staying at WacoSurf this spring. The facility is amazing and the instructors were the best we have had surfing anywhere. They were informative, helpful and extremely supportive. We surfed at noon and had stayed the night. It was thoroughly enjoyable to watch some of the advanced and professional surfers in their early morning sessions. The rooms with the view of the surf pool were great and the breakfast food truck for breakfast tacos were lights out. We really hope we get a chance to go back and try out more of the facility during the summer months. Highly recommend if you are touring through Texas.

    Man, I’ve got to tell you, our recent visit to Waco was nothing short of legendary!

    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!
