The JW Marriott provided the perfect summer vacation for my family of 5. The room was impeccably clean. Anytime we requested anything, towels, a roll away bed, extra toiletries…we were met with fast and friendly service. My kids loved doing the scavenger hunt and eating s’mores.

The JW Marriott provided the perfect summer vacation for my family of 5. The room was impeccably clean. Anytime we requested anything, towels, a roll away bed, extra toiletries…we were met with fast and friendly service. My kids loved doing the scavenger hunt and eating s’mores. Pizza at Fiamme was a delicious treat. The pools, lazy river, and slides were perfect entertainment for my kiddos. My husband and I enjoyed them too. Every single employee that we encountered was super kind and quick to meet our needs. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience at this resort. My kids are already asking when we can come back. I saw several comments about surprise fees. My reply to that is: download the Marriott bonvoy app and do some research. It’s not hard to read and prepare for everything you will be charged for. I would say the service we were met with well warranted the amount we paid. Thank You SATX JW Marriott! Read less

This was our third trip to this JW Marriot with our family. The first time was on the tail end of Covid and was a horrible experience. But we gave them another try two years later and they had improved. This last visit, at the beggining of June was the best yet.

This was our third trip to this JW Marriot with our family. The first time was on the tail end of Covid and was a horrible experience. But we gave them another try two years later and they had improved. This last visit, at the beggining of June was the best yet. Managment seems to have hit their stride and have their staff well-trained. As a Titanium member, I was greeted with an acknowledgement of my Bonvoy status and all staff was helpful. The water park and lazy river was great and well worth the resort fee charged by the hotel. Read less

I went to the JW Marriott San Antonio Resort for a business conference and I really enjoyed this hotel. I had previously visited this resort several years ago with my family to use the resort's many amenities and lazy river and water park. This time around, I had a room on the top floor (9th) with a King Bed and sitting area. The room was clean, quiet and the size of the room was good. The room had a mini fridge, coffee maker and there was a safe. The bathroom was also good. The hotel has a large conference center on the premises. On the way to the conference rooms, you pass a gift store (with items that are over priced) and a Starbucks. There are also several restaurants within the resort, many of which don't open until 4pm. The prices for food and drinks did appear reasonable. There are also a couple of pool tables, table shuffleboard, a small game center for kids, fitness center, and spa. Behind the resort is a decently sized pool area, lazy river and two water slides. There are also two golf courses. I really enjoyed the hotel. Some things to keep in mind are, there is a $30+ resort fee, the parking lot is large and you might have to do some walking, which can be difficult in the heat or if you are carrying lots of luggage. And the resort is isolated, as you must drive to any external restaurants or stores. However, overall, this was a great hotel and I am glad to have returned to this resort for a second visit.

The rooms were well appointed and the location is an easy drive from the airport and close proximity to shopping and parks. A special shout out to Paola, the manager on duty the morning of April 29th. She was incredibly kind and helpful to me, and cemented my wonderful experience at the resort. It’s her hospitality and leadership that makes the experience so enjoyable. Read less

We stayed on the Easter weekend for a birthday celebration with the Sunday brunch. Also went to the lazy river and pool both days. Although it was of course a busy time we had employees making sure we were able to find the golf pro shop and other areas.
