VIA Metropolitan Transit runs bus routes around San Antonio. Public transit is an option but will typically take longer than driving and may require transfers to reach the resort from the airport or downtown.

|---|---|
| Rideshare / taxi | When you want fast, direct service from airport or downtown |
| VIA bus / public transit | If you prefer lower-cost travel and have time to spare |
| Rental car | If you plan multiple day trips (Hill Country wineries, Natural Bridge Caverns, area theme parks) |
