Growing up in the Texas Panhandle, the state's Gulf Coast beaches were a distant dream. And I mean that literally — they were at least an eight-hour drive from where I lived.
So, when I heard that a beachlike, human-made lagoon measuring 2.2 acres was opening at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Villas in San Antonio while I'd be on the dusty plains visiting family, I knew I had to make a trek down to the property to see it for myself.
The opening of the lagoon marked the end of the resort's $100 million renovation, which included updating the rooms, changing some of the dining options, adding a new event barn and creating a Toptracer Range golf experience.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
