Retama Ridge Vacation Packages

The Room, the pool the decor, and the staff was very helpful and Friendly. Thanks to Alfredo.

I don't often write reviews, but I'm happy to do so in this case. I grew up in San Antonio and was in town visiting family during my stay. It's been a long time since I've ventured into the touristic heart of my hometown, let alone stayed there, but I'm very glad I gave Mokara a chance. Everything about my stay at Mokara impressed me. I think a good hotel is one where things just feel easy and effortlessly comfortable, and the Mokara staff accomplishes that objective with aplomb. From the front desk to the valet counter to the restaurant staff, everyone seemed to somehow know my name from the moment I arrived. Requests were accommodated promptly, accurately and with a smile. Further, lots of little details were present that I would normally only expect at a higher price point. One nice example: the ice bucket in my room was always filled with fresh ice whenever I returned. It's a small thing, but it suggests a high level of overall attention to detail and care for the guest experience. The unexpected interior design eschews the usual sleek, contemporary feel embraced by most new-ish upscale hospitality venues and leans into a warm, traditional aesthetic reminiscent of some of San Antonio's vaunted older hotels. It works surprisingly well. The feeling is unpretentious and rooted in regional vernacular, but without feeling like an "Old West" cartoon. In general I found this hotel understated, relaxed (and relaxing), and very comfortable. I'll be back.

We had a great time

No microwave made it difficult to fine a place to reheat food

It was overly family friendly. There were not enough amenities, restaurants/bars for couples to escape the chaos of unwatched children.
