Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa

This resort and the Westin La Canterra target the exact same public -- families (and when school is in session, groups and conferences). They offer a lot of the same things: easy access to theme parks (the Hyatt is built by SeaWorld, the Westin by Six-Flags Fiesta, Texas), lots of swimming pools and tennis courts, and plenty of organized activities for kids and teens. I would say that the Hyatt puts in a little more effort with kid and family activities than the Westin. It is a homier property, and it has one feature that seems to delight everybody -- the 950-foot-long Ramblin' River (entirely man-made), where you can relax in the water while letting the current pull you along. The setting, on 200 acres of former ranch land on the far-west side of San Antonio, is idyllic, and there is a 27-hole golf course on-site.

Rooms are large and comfortable. Some ground-floor rooms have direct access to the grounds so that you don't have to go through the lobby. New to the Hyatt are 16 "respire rooms" built for people who have a difficult time with the pollen of the Texas Hill Country. These are equipped with enhanced air scrubbers, special coatings on all the surfaces to repel pollen, and hypoallergenic everything. There are also seven rooms for smokers that come with the same air filtering. The spa is low-key and has a full range of treatments. The Hyatt also has a small spa for teenagers. There are free laundry facilities and a country store for supplies on the property.
