Hyatt Vacation Club at Wild Oak Ranch

Our family visits the Wild Oak Ranch at least twice a year. We have a family of 8 and it is one of the few places where we can find accommodations that allow everyone a space to relax in without splurging for an Airbnb. Why we keep coming back: Fully stocked kitchen with a dining room table we can all sit at. It's a hotel that allows us to cook in the room. This saves us a lot of time and money. We still go out and enjoy a couple fun meals but most of the time the kids would rather just pop in for a sandwich and head back out to the pool. The lazy river. I love a lazy river. It just feels like vacation. This lazy river is wonderful because it is shaded almost the entire way. There are some pavillions but we usually go for the recliners right on the river. I could honestly spend the entire day here. They also deliver food right to your chair and it taste great and is very reasonably priced, to include that pna colada that completes the vacation mode. The pool. My older kids spend the whole day at the pool. they usually have the volleyball net up and the kids meet new friends and play there. They also have a couple slides and several hottubs. So there is a lot of pool hopping going on. My little loves the pool and lazy river because both have the sloping walk-in so she can find a comfortable level and splash to her heart's content. Activities. They have random activities throughout the week. My girls always love to make slime and we attend at least one of the movies they host at night. It's right beside the pool and there is something about simming while watching Shrek that can be kind of magical. We also have to attend Karaoke. This is a blast and also by the pool so you can keep busy while waiting your turn. The audience always gives everyone a big cheer and the kids seem to have a blast. Yoga has become a favorite as well and they have this in the mornings to help get you moving. Smores. They have several large bonfire pits near the main office. They sell smore kits, which work great but we usually bring our own supplies to save on cost and have more. Either way you go it's a nice way to end the night. Early nights. Wild Oak Ranch is going to quiet down earlier than a lot of hotels. We actually like this aspect. Now that we have older children we will get a later dinner or just chill and play games. We have found we all feel so much more rested after our vacation here though because we get a lot of great sleep. If you have young children it is great because the whole area seems to settle down and you can get those kiddos to bed. Grills. They do have grills you can use near each building and it is fun to have a little barbeque one night as well if that's your thing. They also hav a mini golf course, corn hole, and life size jenga. If you wander around you will find random games and activities that keep you outside enjoying the sunny weather. Basketball and pickle ball are another activity my older kids will play around with. They also have a playground close by the younger kids can enjoy. All in all this is one of our favorite places to land to relax and recharge.

Such a beautiful place

Alittle pricey

Loved how close everything was so close, walkable. Great atmosphere. The pool/lazy river could have been cleaner but it seemed like they were in the middle of an out door refresh.

Pricing is all

Great stay for families close to downtown and Lackland AFB

The 2 bedroom villa (6 person room) was beautiful until looking closer. Doors did not open or close properly (any). Hot water ran out before filling up jetted tub. 1 pan to cook with (2 pots). Toilets soooo short, almost blew a knee out getting up. No place to hang wet towels. Shower sprayed onto floor. Construction going on at complex next to ours, loud and a lot if extra vehicles. The grounds were beautiful but needed more lighting on the pathways (dangerous). Towels had to be turned in at hut, led to freezing walk back to room. We knew there was no real food on site nor daily room service, we did not want that anyway. 1 hot tub too hot, sauna out of order, lazy river not heated (after calling to make sure it was working before booking) 1 hot tub out of order, hot tub that worked was really rough(texture). Pool was nice temp but it was 65* while we were there. Not sure if there was mobility rentals or not, sure could have used this for my 80 yo mother to get to classes, pool and visit the property. Should have been a refund offered for all of the issues. I cannot imagine having a timeshare rental and not being able to use 1/2 of the amenities. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Paid too much for what we got. IMO
