JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa
The JW Marriott Hill Country Resort & Spa boasts acres of pools, rivers, waterfalls, fountains and amenities at their outdoor waterpark. Performed as a total design-build delivery project developed by Neuman Group, a partnership between WTI and Neuman Pools, Inc., this successful project was delivered on time and on budget.
Situated in the Texas hill country, the waterpark offers a variety of amentities, including a leisure pool, lazy river, Pedernales River slides, whirlpools, interactive play elements and more. The leisure pool is surrounded by an expansive deck with an abundance of poolside lounges and cabanas to soak in the sun or seek some shade. At the direction of the project team, every detail at this aquatic oasis was carefully themed, designed and constructed to play into the Hill Country narrative and aesthetic that this resort is recognized for.
Project Highlights
- 7-acre outdoor waterpark
- 225-foot Pedernales River slide, a custom water ride that's themed and named after the historic Pedernales River. Lower gradients and higher volumes of water make the slide behave and feel like a natural river.
- 275-foot Acequia tube slide begins atop the 35-foot-high platform with a fantastic view of the Texas hill country terrain. The name “acequia” comes from the Spanish colonial residents of San Antonio, who developed a complex and expansive irrigation system made of canals, gates and dams––together, these are known as acequias.
