Hyatt Hill Country vs. Westin La Canterra

Planning a family reunion for a 50th anniversary celebration for Thanksgiving 2007. The honorees will enjoy golf and spa, along with being together with all the grandchildren. :-) All the attendees are from Texas, albeit scattered across the state, but all have been to San Antonio before.

Which resort do you think has the best spa? The best golf? The best activities for children? The most ';Four Seasons'; type experience?

Does either of the properties offer a condo/casita for families with small children? (No, no one wants to attend the timeshare presentation at Wild Oaks.)

Hyatt Hill Country vs. Westin La Canterra

Boy, this is really a toss-up between two fantastic places. We have stayed at both places (with kids) and so I%26#39;ll give you my opinion...

I feel that the Hyatt is more kid-friendly. There are just a TON of families there. That is where we usually go and where most of our friends go with their kids. Camp Hyatt is for ages 3+ whereas the equivalent at La Canterra is ages 5+ (if your kids would actually stay there - mine won%26#39;t).

That being said, I absolutely love La Cantera too. I%26#39;ve never used either the golf course or the spa, but my inclination is that they have the better of both. My kids actually prefer their pools, but my recollection is that there are ';adult only'; pools too. Not that you%26#39;d be swimming in November, but one of the resorts (can%26#39;t remember which) has a heated pool while the other one doesn%26#39;t.

The Hyatt has the Sunday House available for rent, but there%26#39;s only one (not sure how many separate families you have). We have also stayed in rooms there which were two individual rooms at the end of a hall closed off from the rest of the hall. That worked well.

Depending on the kids you are traveling with, and the families, La Cantera would probably be more enjoyable for the grownups, unless the grownups (like me) will be stressing out about the kids%26#39; behavior being on the rowdy side. LOL.
