Escape to Paradise: San Antonio's Riverwalk Inn Awaits! - A Deep Dive (Because Honestly, Who Has Time for Short?)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into Escape to Paradise: San Antonio's Riverwalk Inn Awaits! And trust me, this isn't some generic, cookie-cutter hotel review. We're getting real. We're getting… messy.
First off, for the love of all things holy, accessibility is a HUGE deal for me. I’m a firm believer that everyone deserves a vacation. I'm delighted to report that the inn seems to be putting in the work on this front. The fact that they've listed "Facilities for disabled guests" alone gives me some hope. Let's hope that actually translates to ramps, elevators, and comfy rooms, not just a vague "we tried" sort of situation. Important: I haven't been there YET, so I'm working with the info provided. I'll update this post IMMEDIATELY after my visit to tell you the REAL story.
Speaking of real, let's talk about what really matters: FOOD!
Dining, drinking, and snacking… Oh, the Joy!
My initial reaction? Breathe. I've seen the word "restaurant" pop up several times and several cuisines too like international cuisine in the restaurant. That's exciting. I get a bit of a thrill just thinking about the possibilities.
- Restaurants: Multiple, presumably. Okay, good start.
- Asian, international, and Western Cuisine: Hold on, are we talking breakfast, lunch, and dinner possibilities? Or is the menu gonna be a random mishmash of everything? I need to know.
- Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, and Breakfast Takeaway Service: Yes! Breakfast is the most critical meal, as if the coffee gods didn't get me right, then, well, no. The takeaway is a bonus for those late-night shenanigans.

- Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop: See above. Need caffeine, will travel.
- Poolside bar, and Bar: Cocktails. Need I say more?

- Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath: Because when in paradise, you indulge.

Intrigued, excited, and slightly anxious. I want to escape! I want to be pampered! I want to soak up the San Antonio sunshine!

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's perfectly-organized travel itinerary. This is a San Antonio Riverwalk adventure, Inn-on-the-Riverwalk edition, and it's gonna be a wild ride. Consider this your "I-tried-my-best-but-probably-failed" guide.
Day 1: Arrival, Alamo, and Riverwalk Ramblings (with a side of Existential Dread)
- 2:00 PM: Arrived at San Antonio airport. Ugh, airports. Always the same: the cacophony of stressed families, the overpriced coffee, the general feeling of "where's my luggage?". Found a rideshare eventually, the driver blasted some Tejano music I couldn't even pretend to know, which was actually kinda delightful in its own right.
- 3:00 PM: Check-in at the Inn on the Riverwalk. Let me tell you, the lobby is picture-perfect. Classic. Beautiful, serene… and then I tripped over a potted fern. Mortified. Seriously, is there a "gracefulness" gene because I clearly missed out.
- 3:30 PM: Room exploration. Okay, this is a good room. River view! Already plotting where to stage those Instagram photos later. The bed looks like a fluffy cloud, and the complimentary bottle of… is that Texas water? (Spoiler alert: it tasted like water).
- 4:00 PM: The Alamo. Okay, okay, "Remember the Alamo!" and all that. It is impressive, I'll give it that. The history is heavy. Made me realize I knew nothing about Texas history, and now, thanks to a slightly-too-long tour, I know just enough to be ashamed. The gift shop felt like a weird mix of historical artifacts and plastic cowboy hats.
- 5:30 PM: Riverwalk walkabout. The Riverwalk… so many boats! So many lights! The smells! (Primarily, deep-fried food and slightly stagnant water). It's pretty, but overcrowded. Did I mention the boats? They're everywhere. Someone should put a limit on the number of mariachi bands. Just sayin'. Actually, the mariachi bands are pretty great and the music gave me a vibe
- 7:00 PM Dinner at a riverside restaurant. I could have chosen a fancy place but, truth be told, I went for the place with the most ridiculous margarita. Honestly, it was the size of my head and tasted predominantly of sugar but… I don't regret it. The Tex-Mex was decent. The people watching was gold. Saw a family with matching shirts, a proposal (aww!), and a dude trying to feed a (very sassy) duck some tortilla chips.
- 8:30 PM: Walked more along the river. The lights were dazzling. It was crowded, but… pretty. Found a spot under a bridge and just stared at the water for a while. Why is water so mesmerizing? Is nature that good?
- 9:30 PM: Back to the room. Collapse on the fluffy cloud bed. Stare at the ceiling and think about life. Did I really eat that whole margarita?
Day 2: Culture, Cuisine, and (hopefully) Less Embarrassment
- 8:00 AM: Woke up late. Oops. Hotel breakfast was solid. The waffles were… well-shaped. That's a win in my book.
- 9:00 AM: Market Square. Holy moly, color overload! This place is amazing! The smell of (fantastic) spices, the chatter, the vendors selling everything from intricate pottery to ridiculously large sombreros. I bought a ridiculously large sombrero. No regrets.
- 11:00 AM: Museum of Art. Okay, I'm not a huge art person, but this place is beautiful. The architecture is incredible. Got lost in a couple of hallways and almost walked into a very serious-looking sculpture. (More mortification).
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. Found a little hole-in-the-wall place, the kind that makes the best tacos you’ve ever had. The woman behind the counter looked like she’d seen it all. I think she might have. Ate three tacos. No shame.
- 2:30 PM: The Missions. Headed south to explore more missions. This part of San Antonio is a little less… glittery than the Riverwalk and a little grittier. The Missions are cool, each one with its own history and architecture. I even managed to say a prayer. Not religious, necessarily, but you know, just in case.
- 4:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Nap time! (The margarita from last night might have something to do with this).
- 6:00 PM: More Riverwalk. Another walk. The crowds somehow felt less overwhelming. Maybe I'm getting used to it?
- 7:30 PM: Fine Dining (kind of). Attempted this. Ate some amazing enchiladas. This time, I swear I avoided the embarrassment.
- 9:00 PM: Back to the room. Staring at the river. Wondering if I should call someone. Feeling a little alone (but content) watching the city lights shimmer on the water.
- 10:30 PM: Sleep. Zzzzzzz.
Day 3: Departure and the lingering taste of Tex-Mex
- 9:00 AM: Goodbye Inn on the Riverwalk breakfast. I had to admit that it was nice and I would be sad to not be there in the morning.
- 10:00 AM: Last look at the Riverwalk. One last stroll. Almost bought a weird river boat-shaped souvenir. Decided against it.
- 11:00 AM: Airport. Again. The same cacophony. The same overpriced coffee. But… this time, it felt different. Maybe San Antonio grew on me. Or maybe I just needed a few days to get used to the heat. Or maybe the magic happened after I had a good margarita.
- 1:00 PM: Plane. Heading home.
- 2:00 PM: Thinking about tacos.
- 2:01 PM: Wishing I brought some tacos home.
- The End (for now!)
This itinerary is more of a collection of moments than a strict schedule. Did I stick to it perfectly? Hell no. Did I have an amazing time? Absolutely. San Antonio, you weird, wonderful, somewhat-embarrassing-inducing place, I'll be back. And next time, I'm bringing an even bigger sombrero.
