A little bit of Texas Heaven
This place is AWESOME. The grounds are beautiful with native Texas landscaping. The pool area is worth the visit - the hotel has its own man made river to float on. The hot tub is the perfect way to end the day in a serene environment. The pool area is open until midnight, so you'll have plenty of time to go to the pool if you're stuck inside all day at a conference. There are running trails, tennis courts, and a complete indoor gym. There are large shaded porches complete with rocking chairs to pass the afternoon sipping sweet iced tea. The staff is amazingly friendly and polite - somehow they remember your name - and everyone says hello. My room was really nice and cozy. I stayed in this hotel for a week on business and my room felt like a home away from home. Comfortable bed, large flat screen TV, large desk, adequate high speed internet, balcony with amazing view. There are several dining options in the hotel. Choices range from family style buffet to adults only saloon. Food was tasty. If you want to venture out to San Antonio, the hotel is about 15 minutes away from downtown and a bevy of restaurant choices. I stayed here on business in April, but there were many families there (spring break?) and this hotel is very family friendly with lots of stuff to do. The hotel schedules activities for kids and families, and even made free s’mores every evening from 7-9 pm. yum. If you're considering this location for a conference or business meeting, the meeting rooms are pleasant and comfortable. There's a top-notch spa, but I didn't have time to visit. I can't wait to come back to this resort hotel for business or pleasure.
