Frommer's Review

If I were feeling flush and didn't want to spend a lot of time downtown, this would be my favorite place to settle in for a week. The setting, on 200 acres of former ranch land on the far-west side of San Antonio, is idyllic. The resort's low-slung native limestone buildings, inspired by the architecture of the nearby Hill Country, showcase the best of Texas design. The on-site activities, ranging from golf to yoga to tubing on the 950-foot-long Ramblin' River, seem to be endless.

And it just keeps getting better. A spa was added with the new millennium. Low-key and relaxing, it boasts all the latest treatments, and is one of the best pampering palaces in this part of Texas. And the rooms underwent a major revamp in 2004-05, morphing from country cute to haute Dallas: neutral-toned rugs, dark wood furnishings, silks and brocades in shades of mocha and taupe, and cushy new bedding. Many offer French doors that open out onto wood-trimmed porches. And 9 more Arthur Hill-designed holes of golf are in the offing (bringing the total up to 27 holes).

The resort is also extremely family-friendly. SeaWorld sits at your doorstep, there are free laundry facilities and a country store for supplies, and every room has a refrigerator (not stocked with goodies, alas). When you're tired of all that family bonding, the Hyatt Kids Club will keep the youngsters happily occupied while you spend some quality time relaxing on Ramblin' River.

Facilities: 6 restaurants; 2 bars; 4 outdoor pools; golf course; 3 tennis courts (1 lit); 24-hr. health club; spa; 5 Jacuzzis; bikes on loan; children's programs; youth spa; game room; concierge; business center; Wi-Fi in public areas; room service; laundry/dry cleaning; free washer/dryer; club-level rooms.

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.
