Westin La Cantera Review

This resort is grander and less homey than the Hyatt. Golfers will be drawn to its two championship courses (in addition to the much-praised La Cantera, there's a newer Arnold Palmer-designed course) plus a golf academy. In addition to being close to the theme park Six Flags Fiesta Texas, the Westin is also near the newest and best shopping mall in San Antonio -- the Shops at La Cantera. This resort is more romantic, too, with rocky outcroppings and gorgeous views from its perch on one of the highest points in the San Antonio area. Remnants of the limestone quarry on which the resort was built were incorporated into the four swimming pools interconnected with bridges and channels and a dramatic waterfall.

Rooms are large and are decorated in mix of modern and traditional furnishings. And, as with other Westins, the bed is quite comfortable. Bathrooms are large, and there's plenty of closet space. If you want to go larger, the junior suites offer quite a bit more for the extra cost. Many rooms have balconies with views of the neighboring hills. The "casitas" are units in a section set apart from the main building, which has its own pool. These are larger, quieter, and more private. Each comes with its own patio.

Facilities:
5 restaurants; 2 bars; children's program; concierge; club level; 2 golf courses; health club; Jacuzzi; 5 outdoor pools; room service; sauna; spa; 2 tennis courts; Wi-Fi in lobby

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
