The Westin La Cantera Resort, San AntonioBest of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Westin La Cantera Resort"

We walked in, and it was so beautiful. I'd never been in such a nice hotel--the concierge greeted us, and she was so friendly and helpful, we couldn't believe it. We went to our hotel, and I told my husband, "Okay, I can die now... let me stay here." It was so amazing... when we were walking up to our room, I kept looking around at the beautiful marble and chandelier and the artwork, and I was like a kid in a mansion. The shower is to-die-for---I swear I wanted to live in there. The beds are so comfortable. My husband had to drag me out... I can never stay anywhere else after that! If you are staying for a few nights, it's worth the price because it is something you won't forget, and the service is amazing.

Westin La Cantera ResortBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant

We were greated with a warm, friendly smile. My husband and I sat in the back and enjoyed watching people come in. The waitress asked if we were honeymooners--we laughed and pretended we were. She told my husband that he should try a margarita--which he gladly did. Then we shared some nachos, and their queso was to-die-for. We just kept drinking and snacking on nachos until we realized that we were too full to actually have a meal--"No worries," said the waitress "... but can I tempt you with some dessert?" Sopapillas it was... along with some of the greatest coffee we'd ever had.

Yanaguana Cruises, Inc.Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Yanaguana Riverwalk Boat Cruises"

We boarded and sat down, and then the tour guide asked us some questions--then he said that if we weren't more accommodating, he'd call us by name--not a fun thought for any of us! He even threatened to make us sing! So we all livened up and started raising our hands as he asked us if we knew anything about the Riverwalk and then showed us some of the famous landmarks--it was fun, but a little slow. I would recommend it after eating a large meal or walking A LOT.

Six Flags Fiesta TexasBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Fiesta Texas"

Fiesta Texas is a fun place to go and enjoy with your family. It has got tons of rides for both kids and adults. Fiesta Texas has new rides every year. This year they have a Superman ride. When you and/or the kids get tired there's different shows as well as meeting different characters. It's a fun way for the whole family to relax and just enjoy themselves...Get on a roller coaster and scream your head off. I go almost every summer to San Antonio and Fiesta Texas is a MUST MUST MUST.
