“A relaxing place to stay.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

I always stay here the first 3 weeks of December. There are very few people here and the beach is practically deserted. I spend a lot of time on the balcony watching the sea gulls and pelicans. The temperature is moderate and ranges from 60-80. A few chilly days are to be expected with 50 degrees.

Room Tip: I enjoy the rooms at the back which have a balcony that's on a waterway.

“Great Value and Outstanding Customer Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I opted to take a couple of days awayfrom work and escape to South Padre Island after a close friend of mine passed away. Wind Water Hotel & Resort was the ideal place to relax and be pampered. The staff were friendly and attentive. They hotel offers a complimentary breakfast and the rooms are very clean. They have rooms with a water view where you can fish off the dock or simply sip a cold beverage as youn watch the sun set! It's a gereat place and well worth every cent!

Room Tip: Ask for a suite with a view of the Bay....especially if you like to fish!

“you get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

Yes, this place is a dump, but it's within walking distance to the beach and I only paid $30 a night. Seriously, what do you expect for $30 a night? I needed a place to crash near the beach for a couple days, and this place was just the ticket. I'd probably stay there again if I'm in town.

Stayed February 2011, travelled with friends

“Don't be cheap and stay here! Spend more, you'll thank me later!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

people found this review helpful

Words can't explain how bad this place was. Everything from top to bottom was crappy. The room floors were all tile and was unbearable to walk on. I kept my shoes on the entire time there. The walls are paper thin and woke up to various adult noises. Once Saturday night rolled around, we realized that the hotel was booked to capacity! Someone brought a bbq pit and was bbq'ing in the parking LOT! The pool was full. Tile flooring is everywhere, so it's slippery all over the place! Cracked tiles, broken AC units, broken mini fridge, broken iron, even the locks were broken. I regret taking my family there.

Room Tip: If you're going with couples, spend time and money by renting out a rental home.

We apologize for the condition of the room, but if the room did not meet your standards we would have been glad to upgraded you. We have tiles in all rooms to keep sand out. Carpet here on the Island tracks alot of water and sand from the beach and swimming pool, so to keep floors the cleanest all rooms have been upgraded to tile flooring. If there was a problem with noise we could have call in a noise complaint. Once again we apologize, and would like you to consider us on you next stay in SPI.
