This review is for Las Olas only. We have stayed at the resort in the past but this time rented a beach front condo down the road. On our most recent 4 night stay on the island we chose Las Olas at the Peninsula for 6 meals, 2 breakfast, 2 lunch and 2 dinner. All were far above average in... More

We thank you very much for your feedback. While Las Olas is a bit of a hidden gem, we rely mostly on word-of-mouth, rather than heavy advertising. We are planning to do more advertising during the summer season, though we will also strive to preserve the charm and ambience that has motivated your kind words. More

We booked a condo at this hotel back In January of this year for Easter weekend. I paid in full for the first night and was told the 2nd night would be charged on or about March 1st. Suddenly on March 31st, I get an email stating my credit card was denied for the 2nd night and therefore my entire... More

Unfortunately, payment policy for special rate plans are pre-paid, and stated as such when reservations are booked. If a credit card used for booking a room does not go through, we are unfortunately left with little choice but to cancel the reservation. If I am not mistaken, in this case, reviewer was contacted and asked to provide alternate form of... More

Recently returned from trip over Spring Break with 4 senior HS students. Girl at check in gave no info on the resort and only told me room number after I asked. Not sure if any of the other employees spoke English as all the others we encountered did not. Washer in unit had the locking mechanism unscrewed from the door,... More

During Spring Break, as you can imagine, rules are particularly stringent, so that the property is well-kept for those visiting during the rest of the year. The State of Texas does not allow anyone to consume outside alcohol in an area designated to be a TABC red zone, therefore it has to be purchased from the on-site bar. This is... More

Stayed 2 nights, reserved 3 but left early do to weather. On arrival the location and grounds are beautiful. The pool is also beautiful. Check in was easy. Once we got to our room it kind of went down hill. The room was not resort feeling at all. It was sparse and dingy. The white furnishings were very dirty looking... More

The Peninsula is an extremely nice resort style hotel located right on the beach of South Padre Island. I have stayed here and there are less than a handful of 3 to 4 star, beachfront hotels, in this area. I am shocked by how scathing some of these reviews are. We have been vacationing to this area for many, many... More

Studio condo with full kitchen, king bed, large balcony, great location& beach access. Even a view of the water! And under $100 per night (excluding taxes) thru Expedia. What's not to love!

I belive this is the best or one of the best hotels in SPI. The service is great, the location is very convenient in all aspects.

While we appreciate the feedback, this was not technically a hotel stay. This guest made arrangements directly with a private condo owner to use his unit. Our hotel did not receive a dime from this guest. Nevertheless, we did our best to accommodate this guest: a new remote control was sent to him within minutes; a 2 page informational pamphlet...
