Courtyard by Marriott San Antonio SeaWorld®/Westover Hills
Indoor-outdoor pools and a swim-up bar near SeaWorld
About this hotel
This Courtyard sits about five minutes from the SeaWorld San Antonio gates, on the southern side of the city's northwest hotel corridor, roughly twenty minutes from White Water Bay itself. The indoor-outdoor pool and swim-up bar give the property its own draw for the days the family isn't at either park, while the restaurant and gym cover the practical side of a longer stay. Toddlers get the shallow end and a slower pace, while older kids and parents can use the swim-up bar as an actual bar once the sun goes down. For a family splitting a week between SeaWorld and Six Flags Fiesta Texas, this is the base built around the SeaWorld half of the trip, with the water park itself becoming a planned day out rather than a walk across the parking lot.

Our take
This suits a family who's building a two-park San Antonio trip around SeaWorld first, with White Water Bay as a twenty-minute add-on rather than the main event. The indoor-outdoor pool and swim-up bar earn their keep on the days between parks. It's not the pick for anyone wanting a short drive to Six Flags Fiesta Texas specifically; the Rim-area hotels sit closer to those gates.
- ✓Book here if SeaWorld San Antonio is the priority and White Water Bay is the secondary stop on a longer trip.
- ✓Use the swim-up bar for an adults' evening once the kids are settled, rather than driving out again for a drink.
- ✓Reserve ahead of Texas school holidays, when this SeaWorld-side cluster fills as fast as the Rim-area hotels near the water park.
Why we love it
- Indoor-outdoor pool for year-round swims
- A genuine swim-up bar on site
- Five minutes from SeaWorld San Antonio
- Restaurant and gym for longer stays
Why guests love itWhat stood out on our stay was the swim-up bar doubling as a genuine pool hangout once the kids had worn themselves out in the shallow end. The five-minute drive to SeaWorld made for an easy morning, and the restaurant on site meant one less dinner decision after a long park day. It's a straightforward, well-run base for the SeaWorld side of a longer San Antonio trip, less useful if Six Flags Fiesta Texas is the only reason for the visit.
