Swim
For those little mermaids who don’t want to get out of the water, the JW Marriott San Antonio is their perfect match. With a nine-acre River Bluff Water Experience, a 1,100-foot lazy river, a 35-foot tall Water Tower, two 275-foot-long tube slides, and 60-foot tall body slides that soar above the Hill Country at speeds up to 20 miles per hour, it’s an aquatic paradise. Multiple pools decorate the property, including a sand beach-entry pool and private cabanas at the Water Experience are available to reserve.
Summer Programming
As if all the water activities weren’t enough to keep you entertained for days, the resort offers daily summer programming for kids and families. Revel in the Zoomagination Wild Animal Experience, photos with a real-life longhorn, Build-A-Bear Workshop, nightly s’mores by the outdoor fire pit, outdoor movies at the pool, water balloon toss, finger painting party, face painting, balloon artist, family bingo, cookie decorating, and more.
Another kid’s favorite? The beloved Longhorn Scavenger Hunt. Children hunt to find the eight stuffed longhorns hidden around the resort and once found, take a picture with each longhorn and show the front desk for a tasty prize.
Glamping
Now, you may be wondering how can you camp at a resort? The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country brings the camping inside for the best of both worlds with its “Glamp in the Great Indoors” package. The luxury suite is designed to emulate an outdoor camp under the big starry night sky of Texas. This suite is a comfortable upgrade to the great outdoors with air conditioning, and lots of surrounding comforts and entertainment — mosquitos not included.
An indoor tent sleeps two to three people and is outfitted with a cozy blanket, a longhorn stuffed animal, and sleeping bags for young glampers to take home. The Glamping Suite includes a connecting king or double queen room with walkout patios and features over 1,400 square feet of space, a dining table for eight people, and a small kitchenette. Guests can experience nature and make endless family memories all while enjoying the comfort of the great indoors, room service, and perhaps a relaxing massage. Quite an upgrade to camping outdoors, indeed.
Golf
Fun isn’t just left to the kids at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. Golf enthusiasts can hit the links with the 36-hole PGA Tour golf facility, TPC San Antonio, located within the resort and featuring two golf courses exclusive to resort guests and members. Both courses have played host to PGA Tour events with The Oaks course serving as the host venue of the Valero Texas Open since 2010. Super Twilight golf is available for resort guests after 3 p.m. (4 p.m. starting in May) and offers special pricing of $135 plus tax per player.
Relax
Of course, a spa day is always in order when it comes to vacation. Drawing upon the vibrant spirit and traditions that have defined the Texas Hill Country for centuries, the award-winning Lantana Spa offers personalized treatments with natural elements offering a holistic approach to reviving the mind, body, and spirit.
