I just got married and the wife a California girl never set foot on the Texas coast so I took her to SPI for the honeymoon. We got in late and did not know the hotel change names to South Padre Island Resort. I called the main desk they gave me directions and when we arrived the check in manager... more

We have never been to SPI before, so was'nt too sure of where to stay...all the hotels seemed aged and tripadvisor reviews were varied. Note that this hotel is now called the South Padre Beach Resort - I found out that Holiday Inn dropped them because they weren't up to standard...If you got the rooms super cheap and just wanted... more

I stay here every year, and it has always been great. The desk and bar staff are the best. The rest has good food, not the best ever, but it is good. Any problems we encounter are fixed, and any requests we have are fulfilled. The pools are great, and this time they offered a real nice deal. $99/night, with... more

This was our "makeshift" honeymoon, until his return from overseas. The tropical atmosphere drew me in, and it was much better than CenTex's 40 degree weather. The hotel was tucked next to Schlitterbahn which was cool, but not in the offseason. The parking was a little difficult (my car was nicked). The room felt like I'd stepped decades back. I... more

It was like we did not exist. They all seemed to really not know what their job was, and most could barely speak English. Then came the check... more

My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway to South Padre Island. It was our first visit there and the first time he has ever booked us a getaway. The night before we left he asked me to priceline us a room. My research was limited but I did look at the hotels in the area and the pictures. This... more

Beware of how you Book your room. Booked on Yahoo and tried to cancel the room 6 weeks before the reservation. Because of a Yahoo document that states a cancelation fee of $25 up to the entire cost, the hotel manager would not refund anything. The hotel has a 7 day minimum without a fee, so Watch how you book... more

We had to have maintenace come up to the room 3 times for very minor things but each time they were there in just minutes and took... more
