Top South Padre Island Hotel Reviews

Sand Rose Beach Resort

6/10 Okay

"Very outdated property. The bathroom door would not close and shower cold/hot were opposite what they should be. Good location but obviously will not be staying here again."

Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo and it was nice sized. Had everything we needed. My only complaint was not being able to keep it cool and I think it is just hard to do in such a humid environment. But the resort was beautiful and we had a wonderful time! Would definitely recommend."

Holiday Inn Resort South Padre Island - Beach Front by IHG

4/10 Poor

"Overall, my stay was okay, but it was disappointing compared to what was advertised. The pictures online made the resort look much nicer than it actually was. Upon arrival, it felt like a completely different property, which came across as a bait-and-switch situation. The resort was under construction/remodeling during my stay, and that created several issues. I had to be moved from one room to another, the elevator frequently had problems and even got stuck, and the room key cards often did not work properly. The bright spot of the experience was the staff. Everyone was friendly, professional, and helpful. Housekeeping did an excellent job and was one of the best parts of my stay. While the customer service was great, the overall condition and appearance of the resort did not match the expectations set by the photos. I hope that once the renovations are completed, the property will better reflect what is being advertised."

Ramada by Wyndham & Suites South Padre Island

4/10 Poor

"Hemos ido años anteriores a este hotel,y todo muy bien, pero ahora este año la alberca para niños demasiado sucia con olor a drenaje, los baños sucios, las habitaciones con polvo, si corrigieran eso en especial la alberca que es lo que uno busca más durante vacaciones subiría mi reseña a más estrellas."

Courtyard by Marriott South Padre Island

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Courtyard South Padre Island. I stayed with my husband and our son, and we really enjoyed our visit. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and close to the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was nice and spacious. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others visiting South Padre Island."
