“Great staff, nice location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The staff is warm, friendly and willing to make good recommendations for dining out. The rooms are ok; we had a deluxe room, which I would assume is an upgrade, but the only thing added was a small couch. The rooms are on the small side, but there is a balcony with a great view. The door had a huge gap on the bottom, so we could hear the hallway noise clearly. The floors are tiled, I prefer carpet, but Im guessing that is because of the sand.

We had Christmas buffet in the restaurant downstairs and it was not good. Our reservation was late in the day and by this time the staff had lost interest and we were ignored. The food was average at best, typical reheated, processed fair you get at a low end casino. My husband likes thaw and serve cheesecake so he was happy with dessert. This buffet was way overpriced. We didn't try it for just a meal, so can't write about non-buffet meals.

The hotel has great beach access and close to the bridge. Dirty Al had great blackened fish tacos.

Room Tip: The higher the better.

“Not bad for the price!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

This is an older hotel but clean with a gift shop and resturaunt/bar.
We did not get to visit the pool since it was too cold but it looked nice. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and everything was clean. We had a nice view of both sides of the island/ocean so we thought that this hotel was in a good location.

Room Tip: Go higher up on floors.

“The views are breathtaking.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

We received a great deal on the price since we came in the off season. The beds are extremely comfortable and the views are great. Considering that its a hotel right on the Gulf of Mexico, its looks really good. We would definitely stay again when its warmer...

“Nice place just dont go when they have red tide”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Nice place and, the staff was very nice and accomadating. Unfortunately we went in October when they had red tide. The red tide made your eyes water and nose run and made you feel very uncomfortable. We had to leave after one day. We would love to give this another try, just at a time when there is no Red Tide

“Best customer service ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

I will be at this hotel next time I come to south padre island. They accepted dogs, so that's a winner, however I think the $50 pet fee was a little much. The rooms were great had a awesome view of the beach. I noticed they didn't have a microwave in the room, so I walked downstairs with my daughters bottle, and they offered to bring a microwave to my room, which was very nice of them. The only other two things I disliked was $50/ hold each night you stayed there on the credit card, and all inputs were disabled on the tv. Meaning you can not hook up your ps3 to the tv because the hdmi port on the tv was disabled. But overall I really enjoyed staying at this hotel, I will be there again next year. With the $50 hold on the credit card they allow you to use that hold towards any room service or dining at the hotel, but it is a bit over priced. The chicken nachos are out of this world by the way.
