Other Suggested Spouse Activities:

The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country offers an abundance of activities, fun, and relaxation that you won’t want to miss. This brand-new resort opened in January 2010 and features a whole host of specialty shops, dining options, and an amazing 26,000 square foot Lantana Spa offering a full range of products and services and 30 treatment rooms.

Texas Hill Country encompasses terrain of all types and is ideally suited for personal exploration on foot, guests will be encouraged to experience intimately the natural beauty and variety of the site on their own around the resort. Guests will be able to discover the trails through the adjacent bird sanctuary.

The myriad of other activities include tennis, hiking, and biking. And on your free days on Sunday and Tuesday, you may want to rent a car at the resort’s Hertz rental car desk to either visit the famous San Antonio Riverwalk (see p. 15), take the kids to the unbelievable six-acre water playground, the “River Bluff River Experience” with its lazy rivers and slides galore, or nearby Six Flags Fiesta Texas or Sea World!
