been to many outlet malls in the country and must rank This one as one of the top! Spent seven hours and still missed some shopping. The Tory Burch and Prada store are unbelievable and great bargains! Burberry and St John were nice too. Clean and pleasant staff too. Be sure to leave yourself lots of time as its spread out and wear comfy shoes...so fun

We visited here on spring break and really enjoyed it. This place is huge with lots of upscale outlets so bring your walking shoes and your credit cards.

The outlet shops contained within Premium outlets and the adjacent Tanger are by far the best value shops in the us. Give yourself at least 8 hours if you're hardcore. There's plenty of amenities and places to eat when you need a break. Ralph Lauren and VS in particular had the best selection out of all the shops i went to on my trip (and I did go to a FAIR few :)) happy shopping.

Management is rude and disorganized. I have never been treated so badly in my entire life. I cannot believe how some of the managers got the job. Incompetent, rude, and mean. Terrible management, they need to get it together. This ruined Victoria's Secret for me and I will never be shopping here again.

I don't make it a habit to visit a lot of outlet malls, but when I travel, I will check them out if they're in the area. This one has stores I actually I like! Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, etc. My niece and I spent about 5 hours shopping here. It's one of the better ones.

Premium Outlets are great! At least 50 or more stores, everything from clothing, shoes, kitchen cookware, athletic wear... You name it; it's probably there. Beautiful area as well. With lots of restaurants. Enjoy your day!

You can find just about everything at these stores, with two distinct sides to go through...lots of shopping, lots of walking. Many different types of sales always going on, so come on out and enjoy your shopping experience. Even if it is rainy, it is worth the time to shop and/or browse. Spend some time, and foods are also available (food courts). Can get pretty crowded on holidays and weekends, but not unbearable. Basically enjoyable.

My biggest complaint is that bicycles are not allowed. And I wasn't even trying to ride my bike from store to store. I just wanted to park, go inside and buy something. I've never found a deal at this outlet mall that I couldn't find at any other normal mall. Seems like every time I have to go there it is totally crowded, bathrooms are filthy. Just not my kind of place.

Premium and Tanger Outlet stores are only an Exit away from my house. So close that stores that I frequent, call me to let me know when they are having sales (scary)! My favorite stores are Michael Kors, Whitehouse/Black Market, Ann Taylor, Gucci, Diane VF, Tory Burch, Polo, SOMA, Nautica, Loft, Lancôme, GNC, among many, many other great stores. If you know how and when to shop you can really get some outstanding deals!!! I usually only shop during the week so I have no problem with crowds. Holiday weekends can be a bit stressful. Other than that happy shopping!!!

This is a really great spot to shop with lots of upper end stores. Parking is plentiful and free. I could have spent many more hours there if I would have had the time. Prices are less than retail but don't go expecting a super bargain. Worth the stop!

Clean, great selection, easy to navigate. Great outlet location. Easy to park (for free) and plenty of maps to navigate. Clean restrooms and some great restaurant selections.

The outlets do have higher end stores including St John, Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Tory Burch stores. I can't say that it is a huge savings because they play on the overseas tourists visiting. What may be cheap for middle class in other countries isn't necessarily a good deal for Americans. I did get a good deal on a Prada skirt marked down to $80 and also a Gucci dress on sale. Customs are different in other societies but honestly I got tired of people shoving me off of sidewalks and people invading my personal space while shopping (reaching right in front of me to grab something and cough all over me). The weekends are a madhouse there so try to go through the week. Plan to park in one spot that you fought over and walk where you need to shop.

We have been to many outlet malls throughout the country, and found that the San Marcos Premium Outlets were among the top in the nation. The layout was nice, the shops were neat and well stocked. I usually am not a great fan of outlet malls, but I really liked this one. It is worth a try.

This place is huge with every store imaginable. My wife and I shopped here for over 5 hours and that was just hitting the stores that we like. Although it was crowded when we went, it was not overbearing and annoying. I really don't care to do a lot of shopping but I really loved shopping at this premium outlet.

SO many choices, it may be hard to find time for everything you want to shop and buy. Definitely a spring, fall or winter shopping destination because of the more mild seasons then. Summers are the time to BAKE there, but still good shopping.
