La Cantera is a serious competitor for Hyatt Hill Country and JW Marriott San Antonio. Having stayed at all three, I would argue that La Cantera is the best location for an adult getaway. The restaurant selection is impressive, pool service responsive, valet incredibly fast, and lobby is beautiful. That said, the downsides are: (1) Pools are not as expansive as other resorts. We were looking forward to the adult pool but it had been taken over by a loud bachelorette party so we opted for the family pool, which is still fairly small compared to the other resorts. (2) Rooms show a lot of wear and tear. When this resort was new, I'm sure it really stood out in contemporary luxury. The bathrooms and carpets, however, are showing their age. Decent condition but not for the price. (3) Staff, especially valet and wait staff, were very friendly. The pool staff are very strict about wearing the hotel bracelet to show you aren't crashing the pool. They can be overbearing about this to the point of being obnoxious/ insulting. (4) Location is great. A quick drive to Six Flags and to shopping. Not having to go into San Antonio proper was a relief having driven for a couple hours already to reach the resort.
