Gayot "In 1909 the International Order of Odd Fellows built a lodge and hotel on the site of the historic battle for The Alamo."
Fodor's "Built in 1909 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this hotel (named for frontiersman Davy Crockett) is a relic of turn-of-the-20th-century San Antonio." Full review

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."

Frommer's "Grander and more upscale than the other resorts on the outskirts of San Antonio, La Cantera is a magnet for golfers, shoppers, lovers, girlfriends seeking a luxe getaway—and families who can afford it (along with a variety of kid-friendly features and programs, the resort’s partnership with BabyQuip means you can rent high-quality cribs, strollers, and other gear on-site)" Full review
Lonely Planet "Standard rooms are elegant but on the small side, so you'll enjoy this resort most if you're willing to get out." Full review
