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.

"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."

"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
