Hotel experience: 5 star                       Destination experience:   5 star

TRIP DETAILS: 3 nights with parents and sister, age 5. Standard room with 2 double beds, garden view. Room was nice.

STAFF: Check in was easy and staff was friendly. Especially liked Julie, a counselor at the kids camp. She was nice & fun, took care of me when I got hurt.

POOLS:  The hotel had about 6 pools and we used 3 of them during stay. I think the best pool for kids was the lazy river part.

ACTIVITIES: We stayed over the Fourth of July weekend. There was a really fun 4th of July carnival – my favorite activity.  Also really liked the kids club.

KIDS CLUB:  recommend for ages 4-12. Activities were painting, jewelry making, swimming, bounce house (Discovery Junction). Liked it and the staff.

FOOD: The hotel Favorite restaurant was Brennan’s for breakfast – liked the Texas shaped waffles! Also had room service – ordered the mac ‘n cheese – did not like it.

Ate food at the pool. Pool food was standard kids fare according to my mom.

MISC HOTEL INFO:  hotel has an awesome shuttle service. the pool had a great water slide.  Kids activities in the late afternoon/evenings such as movies on the lawn, “Little Chefs” where kids could

create fun snacks. s’more making at the fire pit.

STUFF FOR PARENTS:  My daddy really like the golf course and my mommy enjoyed the gym. Had a spa but they did not use it. Thought hotel was definitely worth it and had a great vacation too close to home.

NEARBY ACTIVITIES:   right next to Six Flags. Went to La Cantera Mall – awesome! great shopping and restaurants.

 Do you think the hotel/resort helped to make the overall vacation better than if you stayed somewhere else?      YES  – they (Westin) even gave kids gift bags when we walked in. They had 4th of July inspired knick-knacks.
