Vacation Austin or San Antonio - WWYD?

KittyFX

I have some friends asking on where to stay - coming here to visit for Spring Break. They have one 6 year old daughter. They are trying to decide between Austin and San Antonio and looking at staying at the Lakeway Resort on Lake Travis. Can anyone recommend this or a better place?

I would stay in SA but I am not sure where to stay. La Cantera has some nice hotels and there is a resort out there as well that would be good.

i live in the austin area, and love it. the lost pines resort on highway 71 is absolutely beautiful, lots of trees and tons of things to do.

i saw going to say hands-down austin, but with a 6 yr old, san antonio would probably be better. decent zoo, fiesta texas, seaworld, riverwalk, wax museum/ripley's believe it or not.

i think austin's better for grown-ups.

I'm thinking the same thing.

Ditto. 

We stayed at the La Cantera resort before...awesome pool, tennis courts and I think there's more on the grounds we didn't see.  We were there on a cold February weekend so we didn't get to take advantage of all that.
