JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa is a favorite vacation destination for Central Texas families. This world class resort, with its 36-holes of PGA TOUR golf, luxurious spa, and sprawling water park, is well worth the 90-minute drive from Austin.
Nestled in Cibolo Canyons, JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country offers sweeping views of the neighboring 750-acre nature preserve, home of the federally protected golden-cheeked warbler. The resort serves as a glorious respite from the daily grind, and has plenty to keep little ones entertained as well. If you’re looking for a spring or summer adventure, look no further than the newly expanded River Bluff Water Experience, the incredible on-site water park that is free for JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country guests.
River Bluff Water Experience is kid paradise, boasting a 1,100-foot long heated lazy river, a 650-foot rapid-river ride, water slides, children’s pools, adult pool, whirlpools, and an activity pool. A $16 million expansion to the River Bluff Water Experience, which is nearing completion, will offer hotel guests a whole new level of water fun! Stretching across eight acres, the JW Marriott’s water park will offer brand new attractions, including two new translucent body slides, a beach entry swimming pool, an additional hot whirlpool spa, and more.
I had the opportunity to take a hard hat tour of the new section of the water park this week, with the hotel’s Director of Engineering, Steve McGuire. He proudly showed off the new 18,000-square-foot event lawn with covered stage, the 5,100-square-foot event pavilion with wrap-around porch, the 6,000-gallon jacuzzi, and the 80,000-gallon sandy beach entry pool – all of which are nearing completion. We also climbed up to the top of the new water slide tower, to get a peek at the two new slides which will open in time for spring break.
The slides are sure to be a main attraction for thrill seekers who are at least 48″ tall. One is a body slide with a 60-foot drop and the other features a launch box (pictured below). For this ride, riders will stand in the capsule and wait until the floor drops out from under them, launching them down the slide.
