Isla Grand Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"2 nights only and pleased overall"

Home2 Suites by Hilton South Padre Island

8/10 Good

"Pros: Near all the restaurants and some activities like, bay fishing, jet skiing, banana boat, paragliding. Hugh room. Very nice for a family. Had a kitchenette w/ a full size fridge. Bed was very comfortable and TV had a good selection of programming. Had a very fun club within feet from property. Staff was extremely nice and friendly every day. Cons: breakfast was hit and miss. A different selection every day. Had ants in the room and dining area. Had an old dirty bath towel beside bathroom counter on the floor. Other than that it was good. I'd stay there again."

Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island

10/10 Excellent

"We had a quick Friend get-away and were pleasantly surprised. We had a great time!! It's located on the beach; you can walk out on their boardwalk to it. The pool area was clean. Adan & Carlos took great care of us. We will definitely be back!! Rooms were clean and stocked with towels. It had a Keurig and a few coffee pods (Bring your own creamer-we did not have any of that) It has a small fridge-which was helpful. Everyone was very friendly."

Peninsula Island Resort & Spa - Beach Front Property at South Padre Island

8/10 Good

"The parking lot is set back from the hotel entrance so it can be quite a distance to walk. They do provide a golf cart which helps. Alejandra was an excellent staff member as she was welcoming and very helpful. The restaurant staff were efficient and friendly. We enjoyed the hot breakfast each morning. It’s a good value for the money and the pool was superb."

Comfort Inn South Padre Island Central

"Excelente muy bien"

Port Isla Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Sunchase IV by South Padre Resort Rental

8/10 Good

"There were a few issues with the rental #304. The refrigerator was not working. We managed by, but frankly it is unacceptable. The housekeeper should had noticed and reported to get it fixed. The door lock is close to break as well. Sometimes locks, sometimes not. And the shower door handle was missing. If I knew, I would had brought 6 wine glasses from IKEA, and left it there as a gift. I know, things get broken, but glasses are cheap… Generally, for the price we paid it was an Ok deal (apart from the broken refrigerator)."

Saida Towers by Padre Island Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious and clean rooms"
