"This all-suite hotel is convenient to a variety of attractions. ... The highlight of this hotel is Luke, its house brasserie."

Guests may want to request an east-facing suite overlooking the river rather than western views of the parking lot.

"Across from Six Flags and 15 miles north of downtown, this place, previously a Westin, rests atop the area's highest hilltop on the site of what was once a limestone quarry (cantera in Spanish)."

The whole family can have fun at the waterslide's ice-cream-sundae classes, basketball and sidewalk chalk sessions while others may choose to stroll the 1-mile nature trail filled with quarry rock, native plants and other Texas wildlife.
Gayot
"Rolling hills set the scene for this destination resort. The setting is a favorite with golfers for its scenic, Arnold Palmer-designed course, the first in South Texas."
