Disliked: Amenities
The parking lot was far from our rooms, so dragging luggage was a pain. Also, they do not provide tissues, soap, shampoo, or a microwave. And no washcloth or hand towel (only bath towel). I asked front desk about this and they said it was "glamping". I notified them that there was nothing "glam"orous about not providing these essentials.

It is close to the highway so you can definitely hear highway noise (though it is Marfa and not Houston) and there is also a railroad not too far away so a train came through 6am. It IS camping and there were dogs around that were barking so you could hear them. The facilities were great though! We stayed in teepees that were awesome!

Since we arrived on the first hot day after a cold spell, the a/c in the yurts hadn’t been switched from heat to a/c but the maintenance people were very responsive in addressing it quickly. Loved the yurt experience!

We had never heard of Marfa, TX but my son encouraged us to visit as we were passing through west Texas. It was a little out of our way but we are so glad we did. Our stay at El Cosmico was the icing on the cake. We stayed in a yurt for the first time which was awesome but the entire property is just so fun. We had read about glamping but never experienced it. I highly recommend visiting both Marfa and El Cosmico.

Love the concept & design. Maintenance seems to be a step or two behind - visually evident by strolling through the property's unique collection of trailers, tipis, tents, etc. Also, our trailer door wouldn't latch without a strong physical lift on the door knob to align it.

Good, but not great, Bushtec tent experience

This is a fun and pretty comfortable outdoorsy place to stay. However, we were there in Feb. The heater and hot water heater inside made the tent perfectly comfortable, but we could never get hot water in the tent's outdoor shower. Since the indoor tub was old and dirty, didn't want to use that. We tried the 'community' outdoor showers but couldn't get hot water there either. All else was great, albeit not as great as it would be in spring/summer/fall, when more people are there. Lots of space, a very cool vibe.

We stayed in one of the Bushtech tents for just one night after spending two nights camping and hiking in Big Bend National Park. The Bushtec tents have both an outdoor shower and indoor tub, but when we arrived in Bushtec tent#2 and tried to take a shower, there was a pipe that had burst next to the shower head so water was shooting all over the place (up into the air and unto the tent itself) and there was really low water pressure coming out of the actual showerhead. In addition, the water coming out of the showerhead was completely cold so we weren't able to take a (much needed) shower. When we told the front-desk manager the next morning, she just said she'd report it to the maintence manager. El Cosmico, please be sure all of the facilities/features in your lodging are up-to-standard and actually provide all of the amenities that your guests are paying for. Thank you!

This review will sound unfair, because I booked late and didn’t account for the weather. My girlfriend and I arrived near sunset, and booked the tent accommodation on the website about an hour before we arrived. It looked great on Expedia, and the outdoor shower and bathroom sounded fun. But after I checked in I saw the tent was dirty, the outdoor bathroom looked unkempt, and the hottubs were booked up (people book the tubs for 7-11pm… why? So many other people could enjoy them in that time). Also, when I checked in, they couldn’t find my reservation. They said Expedia hadn’t synced up with them. After a long delay and a couple phone calls, the front desk finally ok’ed the reservation. We looked at the tent, bathrooms and shower, and my girlfriend looked very unhappy. I also looked at the weather report and realized it was going to be 34°F The front desk offered additional blankets, and reassured us the electric blankets were good, but somehow it looked like camping at a national park for five times the cost. I asked to cancel, but they wouldn’t refund us the money. I sent a sweet email and asked for a refund, but didn’t get a response. So… I sucked up the cost as a bad decision to come here. Sorry folks, I was looking forward to this visit, but my experience was bad
