Top South Padre Island Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was great. The staff was great. Our shower had dye in it, it was a little dirty as well."

Ramada by Wyndham & Suites South Padre Island

4/10 Poor

"First of all, in the promotion picture there is a nice swimming pool, it's a lie, there is no swimming pool, and on my stay I never got a cleaning service, I had to go to front desk because the phone in the room was not in service, their answer was that I have to let them know that I need that service per day (no one told me about it in the check in), then the rooms are very basics, the first day no soap, and the bathroom fan extractor was not working, I would give it motel category in furniture and everything inside the room, but the worst, very worst of everything was that every single day there was drunk people out of their rooms and Friday and Saturday even worse, and some people listening music in their cars (of course, totally drunks) very loud at 1, 2, 3 am, not easy to get a good rest, and seems like the hotel administration is totally fine with that because they do nothing with the situation.....NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE !!, I got the room because I book late and everything else was too expensive, but I regretted...Best way is to book with some time in a branded hotel where you get ok service and at least you can rest comfortably, sometimes is better to expense a couple more hundreds but to enjoy your stay"

La Copa Inn Beach Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Awful! Our AC leaked water all over the tile, the deadbolt on our door didn’t lock. Jeanette at the front desk was incredibly rude after we contacted Expedia. She told us she sent maintenance up, w/o even asking our concerns. He then came in, drilled the door, vacuumed out the AC, and left. He didn’t speak English, so we weren’t sure the next steps. Front desk never followed up. AC continued to leak for remainder of our stay. We had to lay towels down. Water leaking on a tile floor equals lots of slipping hazards. We tried to leave the property, but Expedia and the hotel refused to refund us. Sending a maintenance man to the room w/o even confirming our concerns, not being able to communicate AND no follow up from Jeanette was insane. Our stay was awful! Awful! We would still like to be compensated for our awful experience. (Additionally our bathroom shower was disgusting, advertisement of bar and grill is incredibly inaccurate given the small pizza shop, and most staff was not friendly) I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone!"

Comfort Suites Beachside

10/10 Excellent

"This place is great the location to get in not so much but the hotel over all was incredible from the pool to the hot tub the employees the family suite all of it and the ocean was less then a 5 minute walk you have your own private gate to go in and out of as well so only guest from this hotel can go and come from "

Comfort Inn South Padre Island Central

2/10 Terrible

"Towels were never available when me and my family needed them we kept being told housekeeping would bring them to us after they have been washed every single day we traveled 8 hrs and couldn’t never shower at the exact time we wanted. Also the hotel didn’t have face towels at all so we had to buy our own which is ridiculous never had to do this at any other hotel ever in my entire life. Also the power went out and smone alarm went off and no explanation was given for either one. The breakfast was alright but not top tier. Also the room kept getting really even while having the air conditioning on and set at a cold temperature it wouldn’t remain cold all day or all day making it very uncomfortable. I would personally never use a Comfort Inn ever again no matter the location it’s a huge no and red flag for me! I guess it’s true though you get what you pay for!"
