As San Antonio residents, we don’t always get to enjoy the lazy rivers and luxurious cabanas of our local hotel pools. But one look at what you’re missing out on, and we’re almost positive you’ll want to find a way in. And while we don’t necessarily condone sneaking into these luxury pools, we know that sometimes the temptation is too hard to resist.
