**Full Disclosure: My husband and I received a one-night stay in exchange for our review. All opinions are ours alone.
It’s crazy how fast the years fly by. Most days it seems like I walked down the aisle just last week. But that’s not the case. This week my husband and I celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary! When we’d first married, I told him I wanted to renew our vows for our 10th anniversary. We didn’t. I don’t think we did anything to celebrate 11 years. So for our 12th, I wanted to do something fun. I arranged to leave the kids with my parents and booked a room at the JW Marriott San Antonio.
Check in isn’t until 4pm, but we arrived at 2 so we could tour the resort.
The Director of Sales & Marketing was our tour guide. He mentioned that the JW Marriott is a playground for Texans from May to August. After our stay, I understand why! There is so much to do and it’s an absolutely beautiful resort!
Then we checked in and got our room key. I was blown away by the room – it was stunning!
I told my husband I thought the room was bigger than our house. After looking at some of the brochures, we decided it actually was more spacious.
We checked out every nook and cranny in the suite. There was a Murphy bed, mini fridge, mini freezer, media inputs for the TV (you could bring your own video game system and plug it in!) and so much more. The restroom was really nice – it had a shower and bathtub. I really wanted to enjoy a bubble bath, but I ran out of time.
On our tour we learned there are 7 food/beverage outlets at the JW Marriott. They are: Cibolo Moon, Crooked Branch, High Velocity, 18 Oaks, Replenish Spa Bistro, Rivertop Grill and Starbucks. But because we were celebrating our anniversary, we left the property and dined at one of our favorite (kidless) restaurants.
Even though we were only 20 minutes from home, the JW Marriott San Antonio provided the perfect romantic resort getaway atmosphere. It was a fantastic anniversary staycation!

I haven’t yet stayed in that location, but I’ve stayed in JW Marriott properties before and I LOVE them!!! I’ll definitely remember if I’m in San Antonio to book here.
The media inputs on the TV is a nice touch. We often travel as a family, and since my son goes to bed earlier than the girls, it’s great to be able to give them a way to entertain themselves in the room after he’s fallen asleep. (I know, not the most romantic, but it’s a feature I love in hotels.)
What a beautiful hotel! We have a Marriott here that we go to sometimes and it is beautiful as well- love their hotels.
It sounds like you two had such a great time! It’s so important to take some time to do hings together just the two of you from time to time. I too, keep saying that we will renew our vows at 10 years since we didn’t really have a big wedding, we’re approaching year 7 -well see if the dream comes true!
We didn’t have a big wedding either – 15 including us!
It looks like you guys had a ton of fun, I have to remember to check it out.
I’ve never even been to Texas but it’s on my bucket list! This looks like a fabulous hotel and Mariott always have the most comfortable beds ever!
This looks like a very very spacious and gorgeous hotel room! I absolutely love big rooms and jacuzzi is a huge plus for me, to relax. Glad you enjoyed y’alls stay!
oooh looks very nice and spacious! love the bathroom
