Isla Grand Beach Resort
Room was a single bed when I paid for 2 beds. Was promised a role bed and never got it. This is the worse stay I’ve ever had. Front desk was aggressive and stated they wouldn’t charge our room and if we wanted to checkout we could.

Holiday Inn Resort South Padre Island - Beach Front by IHG
The room was fine, but dirty windows. Staff never cleaned our room till the day before we came home, had to hunt them down for clean towels. Very slow elevators, pool chairs were soooo uncomfortable, very slow service at the inside bar, but food was great.
