8.6/10 Excellent! (766 reviews)
Great resort although it is a bit tired. The bed was super comfy and the room a good size but the bathroom is dated. The clubhouse and restaurant is modern and well presented although during a torrential rainstorm the balcony roof leaked like a sieve. Staff were friendly enough although rule followers with no flexibility on how customer should work over their process. I would stay again. Pretty good value for money. The Chicken Fried Chicken dish in the restaurant is the best.

Kids had a great time on the River Walk. Visited Ripley's Believe It or Not exhibit and the 4D movie. Also, the Gondola captain was funny and informative and the food it always awesome. Visited the Hard Rock Café and Mexican Manhattan Restaurants, Both were wonderful. Also, kudos to Alamo Music Store for accommodating my 15 year old grandson's musical passion. We may end up returning to purchase one of the upright pianos he 'tested' there.

wear walking shoes and enjoy walking around all the corridors to see the shops, flowers, trees, people and restaurants the whole length of it slowly. The river boat tour is always a great place to start you trip off with a quick look at the riverwalk and learn about it and parts of San Antonio.
