Among the hotels on this list, JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country\u2019s 1,100-foot river is the longest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can you visit a hotel\u2019s lazy river in Texas without booking a room?<\/strong> Yes. ResortPass sells day passes to hotel pools and water parks, including every property on this list, so you can float the lazy river for an afternoon without checking in overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How much does a lazy river day pass cost in Texas?<\/strong> Most of the hotels on this list start day passes between $65 and $100 per person, with family bundles and cabana upgrades priced separately.
