JW Marriott Resort, TPC Golf Course, and Spa

This past weekend, The Bailey's and us drove to San Antonio Thursday evening for 3 nights of R&R, i.e. 'Baby Moon.' Lots of people are taking these before they have their baby so we decided to give it a shot! :) Cheesy? Yes. Fun and worth it?? Absolutely! This resort was unbelievable and had incredible amenities! We had no agenda, slept in, ate a lot, laid out by the pool, utilized the spa until we were out of money :o), and played lots of Spades in our hotel room. I highly recommend this hotel, but it is VERY kid-friendly. Lots and lots of kids running around. There is an adult pool and the spa and golf course, but kids are still around. The resort has a lazy river, of which we loved, but it was full of kids. We will definitely come back here with our kids one day, but I would not recommend this resort for a 'baby moon' like we did. We wanted to be around NO KIDS since we're all about to have our own, but we still had a blast and this resort was amazing!


Us playing Spades in our room the 1st night.... Donna and I dominated! We have now beat the men 3 - 0. And, Donna is a rookie to the game so, needless to say, I'm very proud of her! :o)

And, the rooms are super nice and big with balconies. We had just the basic room too, so you can imagine what the suites are like!!

















Their beds were unlike any beds I've ever slept on! Ah-mayzing! And, they give you like 8 pillows so I was in heaven since I didn't bring my faithful body pillow


The resort has 5 restaurants, but we ate at Cibolo Moon the most. Is has this tequila bar that is certified by Mexico's Board of Tequila or something crazy like that. I am sure I'm not saying that right as there's probably a more appropriate way of mentioning an award with such high prestige, but we gathered it was a pretty big deal, and it was. It has all these infused tequilas to sample as shots or in specialty cocktails, and seeing how Chad is a major tequila lover, he was in heaven! There are only 18 other restaurants nationwide with this recognition so it was pretty cool.

Crunchy wheat French Toast that was TO DIE FOR! Donna got it one morning and I got it the next it was so good!

At dinner the 2nd night--Cibolo Moon for their Carving Board buffet. All you can eat Mahi Mahi, NY Strip, smoked chicken, 3 types of salads, steamed veggies, broccoli/rice casserole, potatoes, mac n cheese, an entire kids buffet, rolls, biscuits, 3 types of dessert ...the list goes on and on.... all for $20!!!!! Super tasty for a super price! The 3rd night we went into San Antionio to eat at the Alamo Cafe. Great authentic Mexican Food with fabulous homemade tortillas!

The Pool!


The Spa. Donna and I both got a 50 min prenatal massage and facial. Both were heaven! It was it's very own building separate from the hotel it was so big!

Thank you, Bailey's, for a fabulous "Baby Moon"


Cheers,

Lindley
