I love living in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex! There is never any shortage of beautiful places to visit or fun things to do. Which is why it really means something when I say -that the Hilton Anatole is the jewel in Dallas’ crown! This gorgeous complex is so much more than a hotel. Part museum, part foodie paradise, part water park – the Hilton Anatole Dallas is all luxury.
And with the addition of the JadeWaters Resort Pool, the Hilton Anatole is a summertime must! Here are a few reasons I think it’s worth adding to your summer bucket list…
You will feel really taken care of! The Hilton Anatole has the most incredible staff, and they make you feel so welcome the minute you step inside their doors. Our check in was easy and before we knew it, we were sent off to our room to relax. Once we arrived at our room we were greeted by chocolates on our pillows and complimentary slippers.
Beautifully appointed rooms are filled with interesting art pieces and everything you need to feel at home. Moments after we arrived at ours, I got a text from the hotel concierge asking if there was anything they could do to make our stay even better!
I asked a few questions about visiting JadeWaters – and had an instant answer via text! So handy, and a truly useful way to use technology in a resort setting!
With windows on 2 sides of our room, we had a great view down into the pool area! We just had to run down and have a good splash before dinner. And sleeping is easy in beds that feel like pillowy clouds!
Always important to know for family travel – the rooms at the Hilton Anatole always have plenty of outlets for charging phones or whatever devices you have on hand.
In the morning after we arrived, we had room service for breakfast. The food came quickly, and piping hot! And there were so many choices on the menu.
Even our young daughter that tends to be quite picky about food, found lot’s of options she was excited about!
After we gobbled up our breakfast, we hightailed it over to JadeWaters the Resorts pool. But calling it a pool isn’t quite accurate! With lot’s of themed areas, for both adults and children – everyone in your party can find a place to relax. And there are multiple pools, a lazy river, water slides – even an adult only area with a swim up bar!
We started out enjoying the lazy river, and I really appreciated how many tubes there were. It took practically no time for us to grab unused floats from the river to enjoy!
I love how you can vacation your own way at JadeWaters! Want luxury all the way? Book a private Cabana or daybed. You will have your own area away from any crowds and drinks and snacks delivered right to you!
More of a casual pool goer? Grab a chair in any of the areas you like, and plunk down with a book or a drink and get relaxing! Pool activities help entertain the kids, and mom and dad can always get lunch or an evening snack poolside!

By the end of our weekend at JadeWaters, we were all walking around with permanent smiles on our faces. Great food, and great fun had left us all relaxed and happy to have spent so much quality time together. My favorite part of summer is getting to hang out together more as a family – and a visit to JadeWaters is the perfect way to get that family bonding time started!
