This was a wonderful experience to find in San Antonio! Just south of downtown tucked away in a quaint quiet little area that backs to a park. You need to make reservations for the private tubs (there is a spot with two claw foot tubs for two individuals or a spot with a barrel type tub that fits two). The springs are sulfur springs so you do feel a bit like a deviled egg initially but the warmth is so relaxing. You can dip your feet in the footwells prior to your reservation! There is a bar with charcuterie, wine, and beer. The tubs are very private and have individual entrances through a zen garden that is shared in the middle. There is also a shower by each to wash the sulfur off (the smell does come out of your clothing with regular washing). It's very shaded and you can add cold water to the tub to customize your temperature. Such a great unique relaxing experience

Had an amazing soak at Camp Hot Wells. We booked a Cedar Tub soak for 1 hour at 6:30pm. Perfect timeframe and the area was so quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our wine and beer and also purchased a charcuterie board we snacked on while enjoying our soak. The area also had a Bluetooth speaker we could connect to our phone and have music play. Towels and water are provided and also a cold shower. The water is HOT but you can cool it off or drain as needed. Staff was incredibly friendly and booking/reminders/waivers all online went smoothly. We will definitely do this again. Such a wonderful, unique experience!

What a lovely experience! My skin felt so soft after my hour long soak! Reminder don't wear your silver jewelry in the mineral water!

Wow! I love that SA has this now and I hope they make succeed. I felt like I was out of town, since this is the sort of activity my husband and I partake in when traveling. We chose the Japanese wood tub because it seemed romantic and we hadn't tried one before. We came with some time to kill before our reservation so that we could check out the grounds and order food/drink. They had a good selection of alcohol/non-alcoholic drinks along with nibbles. I had the cheese, salami, olives which was served with pita chips. It was all very good, the only thing that would have made it better was some spicy mustard since I prefer that with my cheese/salami and something sweet to finish off with, like some chocolate or fruit. Cold water is provided and there is a cork fee is you bring your own bottle. Clothing is optional in your private tub room. There is an outdoor shower available in your room but please note there is a public park directly behind. It is very unlikely someone would see you nekkid unless they're staring very hard. The setting was beautiful in late February with the Mountain Laurel already blooming and the birds singing sweetly. We have the free six month membership and plan to come again but before it gets too hot. The tubs are shaded so even if it rains you can still enjoy a soak. There is also a private hammock and a seating area outside the rooms with a fire pit and water fountain to enjoy before the soak. If you are expecting total quiet, you probably won't get it unless no one is occupying the other room. We could hear our neighbors loud and clear. The train tracks are also in front of Camp Hot Wells and there is a park nearby so we saw bike riders while soaking. They probably couldn't see us though. If you want to visit but aren't a member, there are picnic tables and a hammock in the public area. You can do a foot soak with purchase of a drink. Again, I think is great SA has this natural source of hot springs to enjoy!

Fun little place to come soak and have a few drinks. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly the space is small and quaint. I'll be coming back to hang later.

Everything about Camp Hot Wells was 10/10. They give clear directions to get to the grounds on the website and once you arrive and check in at the window, eve goes smooth from there. Daniel was in charge of the camp grounds during our appointment time and he was amazing. He helped us find the perfect bottle of wine, build our charcuterie board and even gave us more details on the entire property that we were able to walk around as we waited for our turn in the clawfoot suite. Once our time arrived, he showed us how to work everything, they provided a speaker to make the time spent in the bath more personal and he came and checked on us to make sure we could order anything additional if we wanted. The only thing that I would give warning to, is that if you have a sensitive nose the smell of the sulfur can be overwhelming at some points. For me, it was the strongest and hardest to tolerate at the foot bath, but I barely smelled anything at all while in our private tub. Overall, I would definitely recommend and do it again, just with a warning on the strong aroma of the sulfur. Thank you Daniel for everything!!!!!

I took a gamble and scheduled a soak for my wife and I this past weekend. I simply googled 'mineral bath San Antonio' and discovered this hidden gem. It is located in the picturesque, historic Hot Wells area. We booked the Cedar bath and loved the set up. You have complete privacy in that the bath is enclosed within a beautiful green area surrounded by trees and greenery. There is a call button that will get an attendant who you can order drinks from and have them brought to you during your scheduled soak time. $100 for one hour is a small price for two people relaxing In a mineral bath. You will feel a sense of relaxation that will only make you want to schedule another appointment! It's perfect for those who want self care time but aren't comfortable with massages. Try it! You won't be disappointed!

Enjoying the warm water

Was gifted this experience for my birthday and can say without a doubt I will be visiting this place again. The whole experience was amazing. I did receive emails and a phone call prior to the date to verify my attendance. The only problem I had was that maps gave me the wrong directions (Google Hot wells conservatory) and you'll find the place. The check in was quick and easy. We were set up in our own room and the nice woman (didn't catch her name) explained the process to us. She even gave us extra time due to the directions issue. I will say I was worried because the tubs are out doors and the weather was cold but the water is the right amount of hot to keep you warm. We ordered a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board that was spectacular. There was a couple in the larger tub right next to us ( in their own private room) but as a courtesy we kept our voices at a regular as they did too. The view is nice and I like that the nice woman stated she would knock, if we would rather her not enter she would place everything under the door. So ladies privacy is respected. I do recommend taking your shower shoes as you have to leave the area to use the restroom. And your own towel just for extra comfort. They have a small "patio" are right outside the private rooms so if your not done with the food and wine you can sit and relax. There are only the two rooms so there really aren't crowds of people. I will be returning soon.

Proof of my BOOKED group soak that I was denied the opportunity to have.
Chantil A.

I am utterly disappointed with your service and lack of consideration for your customers. I booked a group soak for 10 on your website, as directed, and placed my credit card on file to hold my reservation for December 2nd at 6pm. I also made a personal visit to your site to do a walk through so that I could get a better idea of the layout for our girls night event. On the night before my scheduled event, I am being told that my reservation was never confirmed. DESPITE the FACT that my member profile on your platform shows that my soak was BOOKED on November 17, 2023 at 2:17 for a group soak on December 2, 2023 at 6pm. Well please tell me what your confirmation procedure entails as I never received a phone call nor email to confirm or deny my reservation. My credit being on file at the time of booking should have been what confirmed the booking. Please tell me how my reservation is being cancelled and you have chosen to honor someone else when I know the date and time was available when I booked it?

The outdoor suite is private but also in nature. We saw cardinals and felt breezes.

The valet…read moreparking was $60.00 per night or there is a public lot across the street which I didn't see how much to park there n we opted for convenience. The valet team were very courteous. While I did do online check in, I asked upon arrival,if they had any river walk view rooms available. They did not have a king suite, but did have a two queen available. We opted to switch. Fay was great with customer service ! Pleasant and professional ! ! They even had a personalized welcome on the TV by the time we got there! Gotta love the small details! Technology helping with a good customer experience. There is a very narrow balcony with two chairs, we used it in the evening and to watch the lovely sun rise. Our room was very spacious. Really liked the glass door refrigerator so I could see how many water bottles we had left. Hahaha. We walked everywhere from this location! Early morning to the Alamo and back for a refreshing dip in the pool before walking to go out for the evening ! Their breakfast buffet is superb. A great variety and the omelette station is excellent. You choose what you like, then the gentleman will put it together! It was delicious. The host Amber was friendly and told us about the San Antonio Saga at the San Fernando Cathedral. She also told us about the Pearl District, but I don't think we will have time to visit this trip. The happy hour was nice. The bartender Steve hustled when they got busy! He smiled and was very appreciative of tips!. I think most people forget the importance of tips to these guys! The snacks the first night were mixed snacks and goldfish, chips and salsa and tomatillo sauce veggie platter and crackers. (Oddly, no cheese for the crackers) the second night, chips and fresh made onion dip and cheese and crackers. Great stay at a nice location!

We got a good deal on Hotwire so we decided to stay here for 2 nights this past August. Overall,…read moreour stay went well but to me it was not worth it. First off, it says "Riverwalk" but this is not directly on the riverwalk. If you walk outside and around a corner, THEN you can get to the riverwalk, but it's not the bustling part. You have to walk a bit to get to all the bars and restaurants. Now to the parking. You can self part in a lot catercorner from the hotel, but it doesn't look very secure, or you can valet for $32 a day. I will say this, I appreciated the valet manager, for the life of me I can't remember her name, but she was great. She was very thorough with what we were going to be charged and why etc etc. We never felt like she was trying to hide any charges or anything. Valet service was speedy and all of the people we encountered were very nice. We were explained that the hotel charges $100 to your credit card for "incidentals." According to the way it was explained, includes the valet charges, room service (if you order room service) etc and whatever is not used from that, it's credited back to your card. Which I did see was true. The remaining was credited back to our credit card. The rooms are a bit outdated! Though our room was clean, it was an older room WITHOUT a fridge and/or microwave. When we checked in, I asked if there was a fridge and microwave in the room and was told no, but they are available upon request. Like the other reviews mention, the walls are thin. We kept on hearing people making a ruckus in the hall but thankfully not into the later hours of the night. When we first entered our room it was HOT! We were told that they don't keep the ac on in the rooms, but thankfully once we turned on the ac, it cooled down quickly. After that we didn't have any issues with our room. We didn't dine in the restaurant or try the breakfast buffet. With so many other restaurants to try, we didn't think it was worth it. The breakfast buffet is overpriced in my opinion. At roughly $17 a person, it wasn't worth it and decided to get breakfast tacos instead lol The pool here is nice. It's located on the 3rd floor with many benches and tables to veg out on. We came at a perfect time, since there were not many people so we had a lot of time to just relax without a crowd. Overall our stay here was nice. The staff we dealt with were polite and friendly but we really didn't have a lot of issues that we needed to address so we didn't have to talk to many people. It was a good experience for what we paid for but there are other places to stay on the riverwalk.

My wife and I are currently away on a business trip in beautiful downtown San Antonio, Texas. We…read morewere walking along the River Walk area this afternoon and were interested in taking a ride in the ferry boat nearby. While I was looking for the salesperson about the boat tours, a woman had approached me regarding the price for the boat ride as well as a promotional voucher for other amenities that were being offered exclusively by Wyndham. After a brief explanation about said amenities, this young lady promised a discount for the boat ride as well as an American Express gift card for $100.00 and a carriage ride at night through downtown San Antonio, all for only $20.00! Sounds too good to be true, right? All I had to do was attend a 30-minute seminar from Wyndham resorts and my wife and I could enjoy all of those luxurious amenities that were promised us. After a brief and hasty decision, we both decided to see what this was all about. After a short shuttle ride across town to this defunct Wyndham location, my wife and I were ushered inside of the place and asked to fill out forms, which seemed off to the both of us. From the moment we left the River Walk area to this desolate location in a seedy part of town, something felt very wrong here. Needless to say, the seminar was simply a hook to buy into a timeshare from the Wyndham group, and they baited a bunch of tourists like myself to this place to debate and convince us to sign on their dotted line. Needless to say, it was a scam from the word go, and after a lengthy argument about saying "no" to buying a timeshare, my wife and I had missed our chances of riding any boats on that particular day. My advice is to think twice before saying "yes" to any sort of promotional arrangement whatsoever. Shame on you, Wyndham!

A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!

What set it apart wasn't simply the beautiful hotel or location -- it was the level of personal care. Ariel at the concierge desk was wonderful. She helped arrange safe airport transportation for my friend when she arrived before me and, when my flight was significantly delayed, made sure she could check in without me. Being stuck traveling and knowing she was in good hands was invaluable. We were welcomed with a personal note, fruit, flowers and champagne, and then surprised with more birthday treats during our spa day. Those thoughtful details made the entire stay feel special. And the SPA! Easily one of the best I've ever visited. Being able to truly relax before and after our treatments -- especially in the beautiful post-treatment lounge -- made it an experience rather than simply a massage appointment. Jessica gave me what was quite literally the best massage I've ever had (and I've had a lot of massages!). Even the little things stood out: complimentary morning coffee delivered through room service and an incredibly kind and helpful room-service attendant. Luxury hotels can have beautiful rooms and impressive amenities. What made Mokara exceptional was how genuinely cared for we felt from beginning to end. The personal touches made all the difference. Mokara will absolutely be at the top of my list the next time I'm in San Antonio. Five stars without hesitation.

Can't see the river, it's blocked by trees. So I'd recommend 4th or 5th. Now the best thing I think this place offers is the 3 free alcoholic drinks each day.
