Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island
Beautiful room. We had the ocean partial room & had a gorgeous view of the pool and ocean. Pool is heated & open until 11pm with pretty lights surrounding the area. Pool is only deepest 4ft which is kind of annoying. Friendly staff, good food with live music & the best bartenders

The beach access was great and building was nice. Bedrooms were clean but the shower was my only concern.
