Westin La Cantera Resort

San Antonio


Standard rooms are elegant but on the small side, so you'll enjoy this resort most if you're willing to get out and take advantage of the five pools, several hot tubs, golf course, tennis courts, health club and spa. It's almost outside of town, and the overwhelming offerings might upstage your other sightseeing activities.

This place must be trying to break the world record for most hospitality awards ever. Condé Nast Traveler, Golf Digest and AAA Four Diamond are among those that have recognized the destination property.

Resort fee is $32 per day.
