Top hotels in Hudson Bayou

Kompose Boutique Hotel
"Final price is definitely not final price. They’re gonna hit you with everything they possibly can starting with five dollars in parking per day. And a 20 or 30 page agreement to read through and sign of items that they can charge you for. Don’t try and check in early. They’ll double the price."

"Fantastic resort. Even better in person. The details in the rooms are nice. No stinky lip stick on a pig stuff in the rooms. The resort is beautiful looking at night. Pools are sweet. Private beach was clean and amazing. Awesome time. Sensational pricing for what you get, which is a lot."
