- Location: Vara Blanca
- Review: We were floored when we first saw the view and the room! It is so special and our first night was quiet and romantic. The grounds are gorgeous. The staff was exceptional! We only had a couple of complaints and when we had the complaints, the staff was eager to help in any way possible. We had an issue with our DVD player-which in our mind wasn't a huge deal because it's so fantastic there you don't really need movies, but we wanted to relax our last night and we couldn't get the DVD player to..., by Anonymous traveler, February 10, 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Location: Desamparados
- Review: I was a little worried during the taxi ride to the hotel that I had made a terrible mistake in picking the hotel as some of the areas look a little rough (by American standards), however, once at the gated hotel I realized that I indeed had made a good choice when choosing the location as the property is incredibly calming and beautiful. Just know that since you are out of the city you will need to use Uber eat or a taxi to get food as there is no onsite restaurant., by kim, January 20, 2022, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Review: Great customer service, even booked a shuttle for the next day (same price as if I did it myself). Airport pickup, reception, check-in, breakfast, local directions, and the room were all excellent. They even drove us to a nearby restaurant. The only drawback was that Room #1 was in the hallway, so be aware that noises in the hallway and bedroom transmit easily., by Anonymous traveler, August 7, 2015, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Review: We had a wonderful Christmas week at Canal Grande Lodge! Raffael and his staff were excellent hosts who made sure we had everything we needed. The small hotel was quiet and beautifully situated. You could walk to restaurants and a few small local stores. We enjoyed Santa Margaritas down the street on 2 nights of our stay. If you know this is a small, local property that’s comfortably lived in and you don’t expect a palace for your shoestring budget, you’ll be very happily surprised by this..., by Anonymous traveler, January 3, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

The courtyard, used for meals, was lovely - heaters provided for cooler weather. The menus for both breakfast and dinner offered a variety of local as well as international options. Our standard room was small, but very comfortable. The best feature, for those who love to walk, is the location - a twenty minute stroll from central downtown, near wonderful museums..., by NRM, February 11, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Review: Had a hard time finding this place because the online directions were wrong. However, the difficulty finding it was more than outweighed by our experience with the hotel itself. Definitely not your average American sterile, all-look-the-same hotel: the hotel was full of paintings purchased by the owner along with other art work.

My wife and I walked to several nice restaurants just 8 minutes away. Very close to the airport, very clean and great value! Had A/C and a refrigerator to keep some food cold. Safe, gated parking but definitely not a lot of room. We had a mid sized SUV which fit fine, but anything bigger would be a tight fit. Would definitely stay here again., by James, January 24, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

##### Weekend Getaways in San Antonio

Weekend getaways in San Antonio are a popular short-break option for couples, solo travelers, and groups of friends looking to relax, explore, or enjoy a change of scenery without extensive planning. Couples can enjoy relaxed experiences such as dining, scenic walks, or cultural activities, while solo travelers can explore flexible itineraries that balance sightseeing and downtime. If its a group trip, explore social, entertainment-focused experiences that fit into a short trip. Weekend travel generally peaks on Friday and Saturday nights, with a slightly quieter pace on Sundays, making it an ideal window for quick, refreshing breaks.

##### Reasons to book a Weekend Getaway in San Antonio

Weekend getaways in San Antonio are a popular short-break option that offer a simple way to recharge, break from routine, and make the most of limited time, providing the chance to experience a new place without needing extended time off work or other commitments.

##### Where to stay in San Antonio

For a 2–3 day stay in San Antonio, the best areas are usually those that keep you close to key attractions and transport links so you can make the most of a short visit. Central neighborhoods are ideal for easy access to landmarks, dining, and nightlife, while waterfront or scenic districts offer a more relaxed break with memorable views. Well-connected areas near major train stations or airports are also practical choices, making it simple to move around efficiently without wasting time on travel.

Different neighborhoods can also suit different travel styles. Central and entertainment-focused areas often work well for couples looking for a mix of dining and a lively center, while solo travelers may prefer well-connected districts that offer convenience and flexibility. Group travelers often benefit from busy areas with plenty of entertainment, shared activities, and larger hotel options. Choosing the right neighborhood in San Antonio helps balance convenience, comfort, and experience for a well-rounded short stay.

##### Top amenities for a weekend stay in San Antonio

When choosing a weekend stay in San Antonio on Expedia, look for essentials like fast Wi-Fi, flexible check-in and check-out, and easy transport access to help you make the most of a short trip, along with comfortable bedding, climate control, and quiet rooms for proper rest between plans. Added conveniences such as on-site dining, breakfast options, and 24-hour reception can streamline your stay, while features like gyms, spas, or pools add extra value for a more relaxing break. Flexible cancellation is also helpful for keeping your weekend plans stress-free and adaptable, making it easier to enjoy a smooth, well-paced stay in San Antonio.

##### Best hotel types for Weekend Getaways in San Antonio

Central hotels and boutique hotels are popular choices for weekend getaways in San Antonio, offering easy access to attractions, dining, and local experiences. City hotels in well-connected areas are ideal for convenience, with transport links that make it easy to get around. For a more relaxed pace, residential or quieter neighborhoods provide a calmer stay while still keeping the city within easy reach. Full-service hotels are also a strong option for groups, with flexible room setups and amenities that support shared, short stays.

##### Best time to go for a Weekend Getaway in San Antonio

The best time for a weekend getaway in San Antonio is usually during shoulder seasons, when weather conditions are pleasant and areas are less filled with tourists, creating a more relaxed travel experience. Weekends outside major holidays and local events also tend to offer a better balance of availability and comfort, making it easier to enjoy the destination at a comfortable pace.

In terms of booking, confirming a stay a few weeks in advance often provides the best choice of hotels and locations, while more flexible travelers may still find good options closer to the weekend during quieter periods. Friday and Saturday nights are typically the most popular, so planning around slightly less busy weekends or adding a Sunday night can sometimes improve both value and availability.

##### Tips to save on a weekend getaway in San Antonio

1. Travel during quieter weekends
Choosing weekends outside major holidays, events, or peak travel periods in San Antonio can often lead to better rates and more availability across a wider range of hotels.
2. Stay slightly outside the main areas
Hotels in well-connected but less central neighborhoods are often more affordable, while still keeping attractions and dining within easy reach.
3. Be flexible with hotel type and room choice
Opting for standard rooms or business and city hotels instead of premium or boutique stays can help reduce costs without sacrificing comfort.
4. Compare package deals for better value
Weekend getaway packages that bundle hotel stays with flights can often provide better overall value than booking each element separately.

##### Why book with Expedia?

Booking your hotel on Expedia makes it easier to get more out of your trip from the start. With a wide choice of hotels, you can compare prices, reviews and amenities all in one place, then bundle your hotel with flights which could help you save even more.
