Can anyone tell me what this resort is like? We are thinking about planning a college roommate reunion there in May. We want nice pools and good food at the hotel so we don't have to travel around town much!!
Thanks!

Juls, A lot of people on http://www.BiddingForTravel.com have reported getting this hotel/resort via Priceline.

Several of them posted their enthusiastic impressions of the place at this Web address:

Conde Nast Traveler just rated La Cantera as the second-best resort in the U.S., so it sounds like a winner.

It'd be nice if you could be guaranteed of getting this hotel/resort when you bid in the appropriate zone in San Antonio on Priceline, but that's not the case, unfortunately. A lot of people using Priceline got rooms here for very little money, but others ended up getting some other hotels in that Priceline zone.

Anyway, I hope the Web address above tells you what you want to know. If the address doesn't work for some reason, go to http://www.BiddingForTravel.com, go to the Hotel Reviews section (pretty far down the main page), and then click the topic that includes Texas hotels. Then click the link for the La Cantera reviews.

I grew up in San Antonio--it's a wonderful town, and you'll have a great time. Enjoy!

My wife and I spent a weekend at La Cantera and I'd say it's as nice a hotel as you can find. Great pools, restaurants, beautiful views, golf course etc. And on a nice day youi open the windows. What a concept for a hotel. Not close to the riverwalk though.
We're going back for sure.

Conde Nast Traveler also has this resort rated among its top 700 hotels worldwide. It's the only place they have listed for San Antonio outside the Riverwalk hotels.

Oops--check that. In my first response, I should have said Travel and Leisure magazine rated La Cantera the second-best resort in the U.S.

Anyway, both Travel and Leisure and Conde Nast give it high marks.
