I got in late from Harlingen this weekend from business and decided to stay in South Padre since its a short drive and I had never been. Unfortunately I was quite suprised that most of the hotels were booked except this one. I cannot comment on SAIDA towers because those are the condos and apparently are MUCH better taken care... more

Stayed in a 1 bedroom 4/12 - 4/17. Didn't find anything extrordinary about it, but it was fairly clean and in a good location. Staff were polite and accommodating. Grounds and pools were well kept and easy beach access. Found the room layout to be awkward for large parties. All bathrooms are located in the private bedroom areas -- whoever... more

This was our first visit to this resort and we were not pleased to say the least. We booked our rooms (two bedrooms with a full kitchen) in April of 2008 and received a written confirmation by mail. Upon checking in February 15, 2009 were told that they did not have any two bedroom units available due to renovation and... more

We stayed in South Padre from May 17th to the 21st. Perfect time for family vacations because it is well after the "spring break" time. Weather was beautiful the entire time we were there. Went to the waterpark one day and had a good time. You can bring your own food and drinks in. Very nice! Beach was nice. Had... more

WE stayed here SEPT 2007 for 1 week and so wished we had more time to explore this enchanting place.The resort was first class in an ideal location. Early morning beach walks were a joy as all the locals wanted to say hi and were really interested in conversing. Palm st pier; what a great place to hang out in... more

Just returned and we were not extremely impressed with the complex. Our condo had never been renovated and was therfore completely rundown. We were traveling with three other families and their condos had been updated and were in great condition. However, we all paid the same rate. The main pool is large, but gets extemely crowded in the afternoon. There... more

Our stay at the Royale condo, Oct 28- Nov 12, was the best vacation my wife and I have ever experienced. We have travelled and stayed at condos in British Columbia, Germany, Austria and several places in the US from Texas to New Hampshire. I would highly reccommend the Royale during this time of year. Good Luck! more

My family stayed at the Royale hotel (not the condo part) recent. I can't speak about the condo part, which seem to get pretty positive reviews. But we thought the hotel room was disgusting, as well as uncomfortable. The sheets and towels had yellow stains on them. I think they use beige towels to try to hide some of the... more

Our condo was nice and fairly clean. It is an older condo so the walls needed to be repainted. The furniture looked new and was in good condition except for the bar stools. We had a washer and dryer in the unit which was very nice. The view from our balcony was great. The pools were very nice too. The... more
