JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa Overview
First Impressions
The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa sits on this sprawling piece of Texas Hill Country that honestly feels like you’ve driven into a different world entirely. I mean, you’re still technically in San Antonio, but once you wind down Resort Parkway, the city noise just… disappears. This four-star property spreads across what feels like endless rolling hills, and there’s something about the way the limestone buildings blend into the landscape that immediately puts you at ease.
The Setting
What strikes you first is how much space there is here — couples especially seem to get this, rating the location incredibly high for romantic getaways. You know what I love about this place? It’s got that authentic Texas Hill Country vibe without feeling like a theme park version of it. The resort actually sits on land that used to be a working ranch, and they’ve kept some of that character intact. You can walk the grounds for what feels like hours, and there are these quiet spots where you can just sit and watch the sunset paint the hills in impossible shades of orange and pink.
Accommodations & Comfort
The room I stayed in had this perfect balance — spacious enough to spread out but cozy enough to actually relax. And honestly, the beds here are something special. I’m usually pretty particular about hotel beds, but I slept better here than I have in months. The Hill Country views from most rooms are genuinely stunning, especially if you can snag one facing west. There’s this moment right before sunset when the light hits the hills just right, and you sort of understand why people fall in love with this part of Texas.
Dining & Amenities
Breakfast here is actually worth getting up for — they do this buffet spread that covers everything from traditional Texas fare to lighter continental options, plus they’re really good about accommodating dietary restrictions. The spa treatments incorporate local ingredients in ways that don’t feel gimmicky, and the fitness center is well-equipped without being overwhelming. If you’re into golf, there’s a course within a couple miles that’s absolutely gorgeous, winding through more of that Hill Country terrain. Parking is right on-site, which might seem like a small thing, but when you’re carrying luggage and just want to get to your restaurant reservation, it matters.
Why Guests Love It
This place works because it gives you that sense of escape without making you feel like you’re roughing it. The staff genuinely seems to care about creating those small moments that make a trip memorable — whether that’s pointing you toward the best hiking trail or making sure your anniversary dinner feels special. It’s the kind of place where you can be as active or as lazy as you want, and somehow both choices feel exactly right. The Hill Country setting provides this natural rhythm that’s hard to find in more urban retreats, and after a few days here, you’ll understand why so many guests end up planning their return visit before they’ve even checked out.
Exclusive luxury healing resorts combine opulent amenities with therapeutic environments, offering personalized wellness journeys in some of the world’s most serene and beautiful locations.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights for our honeymoon. We originally booked a regular king room but on check-in, we were lucky enough to be helped by Caitlin, who upgraded us to a suite on the ground floor! We were thrilled and loved the room - especially the bathtub and the private patio. We were also very happy to be in a quiet wing of...

My son loved the water park
Philip from United States
We loved everything about or stay. The property was beautiful, rooms and all amenities were fantastic. The onsite restaurants were all wonderful, and really went out of their way to accommodate a food allergy. We cannot say enough about how great every member of the staff was.

The room where we slept was comfortable.
