We stayed at the Westin riverwalk and it was a very nice property. La Mansion seemed to be nice as well. however you say that decided on San Antonio over an island for fun???? I don't if it is only me but I thought this city was really boring. NYC or Vegas may be a more fun trip.

nyc is probably to cold for us in november and were not big on vegas. we want to try to get the most for our money. thanks for the thoughts.

I stayed at La Mansión del Río last month for a conference. Lovely hotel, impeccable service. My room was a little small, but very comfortable and extremely clean. Hotel restaurant was good. Its sister property is the Watermark, which has a full-service spa as well as an excellent restaurant called Pesca.

The Watermark would be my choice for a honeymoon, to be honest, although you're not precisely slumming at La Mansión.

San Antonio isn't a town of thrill-a-second, heart-stopping excitement, but you should be able to scare up a good time. I suppose. The liveliest clubs on the Riverwalk tend to get the off-their-a$$ drunk frat-boy, military-boy and Girls-Gone-Wild clientèle, sure-- but basically harmless. Not my scene-- but I did have a mellow good time regardless. A change of scenery is always nice.
