“A Nice Addition To San Antonio”

Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch

5 of 5 stars
Richmond, Texas
Jul 6, 2007
6/7 found this review helpful

Just got back from a short 4th of July vacation break at the Wild Oak. This is one of the newer Hyatt resorts and I have to say we were very impressed with the facilities. The property is beautifully maintained and was a lot less crowded that the much larger Hyatt Resort & Spa across the road. A tip to note is that you can visit the Resort & Spa and charge to your room at Wild Oak. This way we were able to marry the best of both facilities. I would always choose the Wild Oak to stay due to it being, as said earlier, much quieter. Both locations have a lazy river for tubing for example but the one at the Wild Oak looked cleaner and was exceedingly less crowded. My kids loved also loved the two large water slides - the largest must be 75/100 ft tall. Contrary to a couple of reviews here, I found the staff very friendly, helpful and professional. The barmen at JB's, Larry from Boston & Paul from Michigan were two of the best. JB's itself however, does have a limited menu - I tried the pizza which was pretty good but the brisket was quite poor so for dining I'd normally go offsite unless I was "snacking". You are close to a few restaurants 3 to 4 minutes down the road where 151 & the 410 loop intersect. If you want to eat in San Antonio proper on the Riverwalk it is quite a hike – around a 20 minute drive. The Wild Oak is close to Seaworld but when you are within the property grounds you feel very secluded. You will likely see a fair bit of wild life onsite such as rabbits, raccoons & lizards. Apparently, there even are a few rattlesnakes in the bushes as we were told a young girl had been nipped on the ankle last month. However, living in Texas we know this is possible but very, very rare so don’t let it put you off at all. The property currently has 3 or 4 "blocks" but will be expanding to at least 8 so it will get “unfortunately” busier. The rooms themselves are very well appointed in a rustic style which was very tastefully done - the living room has a 42 inch plasma as well. The only negative is that you do have to pay $10 a day for in-room cable internet. Considering the cost of the resort, the Hyatt could at least throw this in for free. There is also pay for use wireless in a couple of spots. All in all we had a great time and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

“Wonderful family friendly resort!”

Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch

4 of 5 stars
Spring, TX
Jul 4, 2007
3/4 found this review helpful

We took advantage of a Hyatt Vacation Club Preview special, and stayed at the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch for two nights. This was our second trip to this resort, and it was even better than the first time we visited two years ago. We stayed in a one bedroom, and had enough room for 2 adults and 2 small kids. Kids had to share a queen sofa sleeper in living area. If we go back again, we will pay extra for the the 2 bedroom so the kids have a little more room to spread out. The rooms are nicely decorated, and very comfortable. You get that "True Texas Feel" with lots of luxury. Fully equipped kitchen was great for preparing meals. Even had a blender to make our own drinks, and corkscrew for wine bottles. We were able to purchase wine in the gift shop on property. If you are staying here, visit the local HEB grocery store nearby, and stock your fridge. Food and drinks on property are limited, and very pricey. We did attend the sales presentation for HVC, but it was low pressure. There was a kids activity center to keep the kids occuppied while we attended the presentation, and our kids enjoyed it. My only complaint about this is that it took much longer than 90 minutes. We spent almost 3 hours there. We were compensated with gift certificates, and not bothered again from any sales people. The HVC is actually affordable, and we may purchase one in the future. The best part about this property is the Rattlesnake River, which is a swimming area, where you can float the day away thru beautiful landscaping. There is even a small beach area (all man-made, connects to swimming pool river), that my little one loved to play in. There is another main pool area that is partly indoors and outdoors. Two great waterslides in this area, with bar and grill service. There is a Children's camp available for extra charge that we did not use. There are firepits for campfires, and smores. Lots of organized pool activities. Volleyball, and a golf course. When you are a guest here, you can use the adjacent facilities at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort. Overall it was a great family getaway. We enjoyed the hotel amenities, without ever going to any of the other tourist stuff in San Antonio. Would highly recommend this place, and we will most likely return again in the future.

“Great Family Resort”

Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch

5 of 5 stars
Uniondale, Indiana

2/2 found this review helpful

We just returned from a seven night vacation at Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch. We had a wonderful time - exactly what we would expect at a Hyatt Vacation Club.

The grounds are beautiful and very well kept. There is a great pool area that includes two waterslides, three hot tubs, and a lazy river. A playground is also available. We also took advantage of one of several fire pits located at the resort. With a phone call, it was lit and ready for our s'mores.

The rooms are nicely decorated and very well supplied for a vacation unit. We had a two bedroom, two bathroom lock-off unit which was more than enough space for our family - two adults and three children. The kitchen, although small is well equipped to make breakfasts, snacks, lunches, etc. There are also grills available outside; simply call down to registration and they will have it lit. Who plans on making gourmet meals during their family vacation?

The resort offers a well managed children's camp, as well as lots of organized crafts and activities. There is a great restaurant on sight - it serves lunch and dinner, as well as drinks throughout the day.

We found everyone on staff to be courteous and helpful. By the end of the week, many of them knew our family and children by name. They were very personable.

Our entire family would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking to vacation in the San Antonio area.

Nicely kept. Service is great. A few bad things are too many people and no wireless internet. We were there August 11-18.
Weather is too hot.

“Loved the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch”

Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch

2/2 found this review helpful

This is a great resort, especially for families -- great rec center, media room, indoor & outdoor pool, lazy river, jazucci, etc. And they have lots of activities like movies under the stars, etc. The rooms are very nice. I enjoyed my stay here, and would go back in a heartbeat. Had a problem with losing electricity in my room, due to a breaker in adjoining room, which they fixed promptly and even comped one night's stay for my inconvenience -- what great customer service! They were very friendly, and the time-share presentation was very low pressure -- they sort of changed their friendly demeanor just slightly when I indicated that this was not for me, but they did not pull the "let me get my manager" routine. You can use the facilities of the Hyatt Hill Country resort, which I would recommend highly -- if you purchase a treatment at the Windflower Spa at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort, you can spend the entire day there enjoying their jazuzzi, steam room, dry sauna, and especially their kid-free pool, which is lovely. I would definitely stay here again.
