Great babymoon weekend
We were looking for a quick getaway from Dallas for the weekend, as my wife is due in about 2 months. This hotel met our needs as a place to relax and spend some time in a nice hotel within driving distance .
We booked through FHR (AMEX program), so we got an early check-in and got upgraded to a balcony room. It had a nice view of the city side, although I must say I am not very impressed with the SA skyline (is there one?). The only issue we had was they forgot about our perks for booking through AMEX and I had to stop at the front desk 3 times to make sure I got the "envelope" with our benefits. It seemed they were very overworked with all the people coming in over Memorial Day -- but they were friendly and helpful when I did talk to them.
Chairs were hard to come by the pool the weekend we went, but we got lucky and snagged some chairs in the morning both days in the adult only area. I did see a lot of people looking for chairs though and felt bad they did not have enough. However, less chairs meant the adult area was relatively quiet and away from the craziness of the kids' pools (which we never went). Servers came out every 15 minutes or so the check on any orders or anything we need.
The restaurants were excellent. Brannon's food was pretty good, but our server was excellent and made the meal better. Francesco's at Sunset was even better as they had a table with a perfect view of the sunset (fitting name). The food was prepared well and service was just as good. Expensive though, but I guess it's a hotel, right?
Pretty much the only resort "activity" we found is the pool area. I know there was a nature hiking trail, but we did not try that. Since our goal was to relax -- I would only come back here when there are less people (offseason) and if I was planning on golfing, which I heard is amazing from the people there.
