We made a quick overnight trip to Amarillo and didn’t want to spend too much on a hotel—but also didn’t want to stay somewhere too “budget.” I stumbled across Cactus Cove and was immediately drawn in by how charming it looked in the photos. At just $89 before taxes, it felt like a total bargain.
The property offers a variety of amenities: a swimming pool, Boutique, putting green, corn hole, gym, and pickleball courts. We saw everything except the gym and pickleball area—maybe we missed them, or maybe they’re tucked away somewhere. Either way, we weren’t there long enough to use them.
The overall vibe is very cute and cozy. You can tell it’s newly opened and still working through some minor kinks. Our room was clean and spacious and included a fridge and microwave, which was great. One thing to note—there are no phones in the rooms, so if you need anything, you’ll have to head to the front desk.
This is a kid-friendly spot, which is great for families. That said, if you’re planning an adults-only getaway and hoping for peace and quiet, you might want to reconsider. Despite the branding and decor feeling geared more toward adults, there were quite a few kids running around—late at night and again early in the morning. It wasn’t a problem for us, but something to be aware of.
Overall, the hotel is cute, the staff was friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming. For the price, we had a great stay and would consider coming back—especially once they’ve fully settled in.
