Gaylord Texan Resort
Located in Grapevine, Texas, the Gaylord Texan Resort is another amazing resort for a Mother’s Day Getaway and perfect for a day trip. You’ll enjoy wandering through beautiful indoor garden atriums, dining at one of their delicious restaurants, cafes, or bars, shopping at one of the Texas boutiques, or enjoying luxurious European spa treatments at Relâche Spa.
The indoor and outdoor pools are open year-round. We love ordering food by the outdoor pool during sunny weather. Chips and queso and a margarita poolside while the kids splash around is my ideal way to spend a Mother’s Day afternoon!
If you’ve got the kids with you, Paradise Springs Waterpark opens for the first time of the year on Mother’s Day weekend, and entry and shuttle to the waterpark are included with your resort stay.
The resort offers rooms with atrium views and balconies, which is totally worth the upgrade, in my opinion. You’ll have an incredible view of the resort ,and it’s a great place to start your day or unwind at the end of the day and people watch.
San Antonio Riverwalk
If there’s one destination I never tire of, it’s the San Antonio Riverwalk. Book a hotel on the River Walk and enjoy one of my favorite spots in Texas. The iconic Riverwalk hosts luxury to budget-friendly options for accommodations, so you can hopefully find something that will work for your pocketbook!
If you are looking for a romantic, luxurious getaway, check out Omni’s Mokara Hotel. This lush hotel boasts two-person soaking tubs, elegant four-poster beds, nightly turn-down service, 24-hour room service, and free coffee and tea at any time. You can also enjoy the rooftop pool with views of the Riverwalk. It’s pricey but the perfect spot for an idyllic Mother’s Day Getaway.
If you’re looking for something nice yet budget-friendly on the Riverwalk, check out the Drury Plaza Hotel on the Riverwalk. You’ll enjoy amenities, such as free breakfast (hello, Belgian waffles) and what they call a 5:30 Kickback, which includes dinner foods and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Growing up, we always stayed in Drury Hotels on vacation. You’ll love their option on the Riverwalk!
Historic Granbury
If you’re ready to get away from the busyness, then a visit to the charming town of Historic Granbury would be the perfect Mother’s Day weekend getaway. Stay in one of the Granbury Cabins at Windy Ridge for a taste of life in the country at one of their farmhouse-style cabins. Nature lovers will enjoy the privacy of the secluded cabins, hiking trails, and being surrounded by the outdoors. Each cabin includes a private hot tub, a well-stocked kitchen or kitchenette, and a private fire pit.
You won’t have to leave the entire weekend, but if you do want to get out and about, you’re close to Granbury Town Square, where you’ll find entertainment, dining, shopping, and plenty of options for Mother’s Day brunch. Yummo!
You could also opt for an afternoon at the City Beach Park on Lake Granbury for some sunbathing. You don’t have to drive all the way to the Gulf Coast for a beach day in Texas.
