JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa Offers Texas Size Luxury

Summer is upon us and if you’re anything like me, you are actively looking for places to go and things to do. Living in a large city, I like to get away from it all every now and then, but I also like to have the conveniences of a large city within a short distance. One destination resort that satisfies my wishes is the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa, located at 23808 Resort Parkway, San Antonio, Texas.

Texas Hill Country

JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa is a large, family- style resort just minutes north of the San Antonio airport and close to several other major attractions in the San Antonio area, among them Sea World San Antonio, the Riverwalk, the Alamo, and much more. This part of the state of Texas features gently rolling terrain and a country setting, even though it’s only about a half hour drive from San Antonio’s most popular tourist hot spots.

Complete Family Fun

This resort has much more to offer than the typical hotel. At JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa, guests will find such amenities as:

• Waterpark, complete with slides, lazy river, and poolside bar
• Lantana Luxury Spa
• Golf Course
• Tennis Courts
• Meeting Rooms, Ballrooms
• Fitness Center

JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa has multiple restaurants and bars to serve your varied needs and desires. Start your morning with a Tex Mex breakfast at Cibolo Moon, then transition to Crooked Branch, the resort’s own whiskey and cocktail bar, before winding down for dinner at 18 Oaks, a Traditional Texas steakhouse restaurant.

Sports and Beer

One of many important hallmarks of a fantastic resort is the beer selection and JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa has guests covered with High Velocity, a sports bar and restaurant. They don’t call this sports bar High Velocity for nothing- it features a 120 foot long high definition video wall certain to grab your attention as you sip on your favorite craft beer and watch a game of football, baseball, basketball, etc. on the massive screens.

With beer, guests can expect to find about 20 taps of draft beer serving some of Texas finest brew along with other, nationally known brands. If you’re not sure what you want, just ask for a flight sampler and try a few small servings first. Then, get back to the dazzling displays of high- energy sports action as you view the larger than life size images on any one of the eight different screens.

Head for the Hills

JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa is a complete family vacation experience. The resort is large and inviting, with enough amenities to keep you and your family occupied throughout your stay.

I prefer staying at large resorts because I like having so many different entertainment options and this resort easily scores high marks in this regard. The large waterpark is certain to be a hit with the kids and mom and dad will love the golf course, luxury spa, tennis courts, and other extras.

We at Great Beer Now consider beer and related entertainment an important part of any vacation destination and High Velocity fulfills this requirement and then some. Lots of resorts have sports bars and beers, but High Velocity sets itself apart with the huge, high definition screens. Not only are they big, but they are different from those at most other sports bars because of the way they are arranged in a wavy fashion. The screens are not just a flat row on one wall- that would be boring! Rather, they curve and make for a more entertaining and memorable viewing experience.

JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa is situated in a country setting, but in fact it isn’t far from San Antonio and that makes it perfect for those who want to relax at the resort but also want to partake in the many historical and entertaining attractions in and around San Antonio. Austin, Texas isn’t far away either- only about one hour away, to the north. I like resort locations like this because you get the best of both worlds. You get the open space of a country setting with the convenience of close proximity to a large city.

Summer is all about vacation and travel. San Antonio is a popular travel destination and JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa is an excellent choice for your San Antonio lodging needs. The resort has everything you would want for a family vacation and with the addition of High Velocity Sports Bar and Restaurant, delicious craft beer and live sports action are only steps away from your room. It’s a cool resort, and one that beckons you and yours to the Texas Hill Country and its many charms.
