It's us again, a last minute decision of going on a short trip, this time is for 4th of July celebration!

Two of our families decide to come visit JW Marriott Hill Country of San Antonio. Due to 4th season, the rooms were about $650 each, and that was quite shocking to see while booking, but if you calculate down to per person, which you get a hotel room to stay and it also includes 8 am to 8 pm water park access that is right out of your room, this doesn't seem to be much anymore.

Because of our Elite status with Marriott, we were able to use our upgrade coupons (only if there is availability) to upgrade the regular King bedroom, to a really huge suite , and both of our rooms (1390 & 4390) are at the Far East end corner of the lot facing the water park!

Both rooms had it's own pros and cons, and we did enjoy our staying with this resort.

Because my daughter had swimming meet on Saturday, so we were only stay for one evening, or else we would continue staying and have fun with our friends till Saturday!

The outdoor water park is also amazing! There are many tube slides, vertical drop slides, lazy river, kids slide pool, beach alike area, and a pool with amazing look over the golf course that surrounded the hotel.

We had BBQ dinner at the courtyard looking out to the Hill Country golf course, it was a very nice experience of dining at outdoor on the grass, only downside was they run out of meat because of the whole hotel was packed with a lot of guests, and everyone got to eat!

Room service was great! Especially the cleaning lady who cleaned our room, she was really friendly and very helpful when we needed her assistant.

Check out time was a bit confusing!

When we checked in, the front desk told me that since they are resort, by using our status, we can checkout at the latest of 2 pm, instead of 4 pm, later on next morning I received a message asking us to checkout before 11 am, then when I called the front desk, the customer service says 1 pm is what she can do. So I was all confused of receiving different information from different employees!

Lucky that my friends have one more evening to stay, so we used their room to store our luggage, so kids can have more fun before we leave, and they could have place to take shower after the pool activities.

Overall I would suggest everyone to come and enjoy the fun at this hotel, even at rate of $300, it is still worth for family of 4 to visit.
