My youngest son and I just returned home from a fantastic weekend getaway to the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa! We snuck away for a few days, just the two of us. This place is perfect for families, but would also be fun for a couples or friends! Below, I’m including everything you need to know to plan your visit to this amazing resort!
The Property
This pet-friendly resort sits on 300 acres in San Antonio, Texas. It’s close to SeaWorld and only twenty minutes from the historic San Antonio River Walk. But, it felt like we were worlds away from the bustling city! Once we arrived and parked our car, we never left! The resort has so much to offer, from nature trails, on-site restaurants, bicycle rentals, a water park, and more! It felt a little overwhelming, but the hotel staff is incredible and we left the check-in area with a list of daily events and a detailed resort map.
Our Room
We booked a king room with a balcony and were placed in a newly renovated section of the resort! The room was spacious and the bed was comfy! We enjoyed the room so much, we ordered room service for dinner one night and just hung out and watched movies on the huge tv!
5-Acre Waterpark
Most of our time was spent at this impressive water park! And it’s so big, we often felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. Here, you will find a lazy river and tubes, a beach area with sand, a very large pool, a hot tub, a water slide, the Flow Rider, and two different outdoor bar and grills!
Dining
There is no shortage of amazing dining options at this resort! We enjoyed eating lunch and snacks at the pool grill, we ordered room service for dinner and breakfast one day, and treated ourselves to a fancy dinner on our last night. Seriously, there really is no reason to leave once you arrive!
Antlers Lodge
This upscale steakhouse was to die for. We both enjoyed our four course meal. To start, you’ll have bread and butter delivered first. The tomato-basil butter was delicious! The kids will then get a small grill cheese sandwich and a fruit kabob. Entrees then arrive, Jake and I both had fillets. I also ordered a side of mashed potatoes and these sides are family style. So Jake and I both had plenty to go around. Then, the kids will get a dessert. Jake had the cookie dough with apple slices, pretzels, and graham crackers. Plus, the bartender sent over a fun drink for him to try! The service and the food was impeccable!
Springhouse Cafe
We ordered room service for dinner and then again for breakfast the next morning from Springhouse Café. Both options were great, but we enjoyed the breakfast the best!
Papa Ed’s Pool Bar & Grill
The pool bar and grill made snacking and lunchtime so easy! You can walk up to the bar and place an order, or you can order with a waiter/waitress right from the pool or lounge chairs and they will bring your order right out to you.
Here is a complete list of dining and bar options at the resort. There were a few other places that we didn’t try! There is also a small store inside that has a Starbucks and sells sandwiches, pasta salads, and café style foods.
Activities
The resort offers many on-site activities besides the waterpark! You can find bike and walking trails, campfire chats, wildlife feedings, volleyball, ping-pong, corn hole, s’mores and outdoor movie nights, golfing, and spa treatments. There really is something here for everyone!
We spent most of our days at the water park, but in the evenings we made s’mores and played so many games of ping-pong and corn hole. We also enjoyed watching deer in the evenings by the campfire. Jake begged me to add more nights to our reservation, he loved this resort!
Things to Pack
- Bathing suits – for the family
- Pool bag – include sunscreen & waterproof phone case
- Cover up
- Casual Clothes – for all restaurants & activities
- Tennis shoes – for hiking or bike riding
- Blanket – for outdoor movie
You don’t need to bring along too much, the resort has it all! Just be sure to bring along the basics for visiting a pool and waterpark. You do not need pool towels, they have plenty around the pool. Just be sure to return them or you will be charged for them. I wish we had brought a blanket for movie nights!
While we didn’t leave once we arrived, this resort is located in San Antonio. Click here for more ideas on things to do in San Antonio if you or your family want to venture out to the city! We love San Antonio, there’s so much to do here.
All in all, the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort is one of the best resorts that we’ve ever visited! The layout and activities made it a great getaway and everything was easy. Which was great since I was there without my husband! We felt safe the entire time and we both truly had a blast! If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, stress-free vacation, then this is the place to go!
