Peninsula Island Resort & Spa - Beach Front Property at South Padre Island

8/10 Good

"Na"

Padre South Hotel On The Beach

8/10 Good

"The staff was fantastic and super friendly. I gave it 4-stars because the rooms are dated (sofa very soft, mirror with corrosion, super old stove). The weekend breakfast is "meh" --- just junk food for the masses and only 2 hours a morning. If the hotel was updated it would be fantastic. The bed was very good and my partial ocean view was very good. Much quieter than the "rose" hotel at the other end of the island. Overall, very good experience."

Sunchase IV by South Padre Resort Rental

8/10 Good

"Stay was great although no mention was made about not getting toilet paper when needed and not replenishing our linens in the mornings. These things were available the last time we stayed there."

Saida Towers by Padre Island Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious and clean rooms"

South Padre Island Condo - Walk to the Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Room was excellent and very well appointed. Loved being on the 3rd floor. Room had everything we could ask for. Security at Sapphire is ridiculous. They are power-hungry wanna-be cops. They exist to threaten guests and suck all the fun out of the stay."
