Hot and Dry in Texas

Overview

Quote:

The resort might leave something to be desired, but the surrounding area has enough to keep you busy for at least a week. It was over 100 degrees every day we were there and never less than 80 even in the middle of the night. Even though we weren't used to that heat, it wasn't so bad. Especially since there was never a cloud in the sky or a drop of rain. San Antonio and Austin are so close, and besides that there are plenty of things to do in the local towns and on the river or the lake. It's a great place to visit, though I might rather stay in another resort if I can't get one of the new units.Quick Tips: Pick up some souvenirs in Gruene! Very cute town. Do some splurging at San Marcos outl...Read More

We were very impressed with the size of our presidential unit, but it was older and not well maintained.

This resort is about 45 minutes from San Antonio and Austin. In San Antonio we recommend seeing the Alamo, The Riverwalk and The Tower of the Americas. In Austin, we enjoyed the O. Henry Museum, The Capitol Building and the University of Texas. The resort is also only about 25 minutes from San Marcos outlet malls. Lots and lots of shops. On the outskirts of San Antonio is also the Natural Bridge Caverns which were very nice. The resort is also close to Schlitterbahn Water Park. Unfortunately, once school starts back up they close half of Schlitterbahn, so we didn't get the full waterpark experience and it was rather expensive and crowded for the amount of slides/lazy rivers still open. We tried to tub...Read More
