Peering through the Steam coming off the water as the surf crashed on the Gulf Coast. the waterfall was in sharp contrast to the heated pool and hot tub. My room... More

Like most resorts during high season, the San Luis can get very crowded and rowdy. If you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway, then book a room during late fall, winter, or early spring. DONT even think about Galveston at the San Luis or anywhere on the island during spring break or summer months. As other reviews have... More

We appreciate your business and are glad you enjoyed your time at The San Luis. You are correct in that we are quite busy during the summer months, as many families choose to make Galveston Island their vacation destination. We hope you will return soon. More

Where to start? We just left this "5 star resort" and to say the least, it was a disappointment. However, I'll start with the good things. Valet staff---excellent (Kevin, Robert) Food--awesome! Bone in filet at steakhouse and fish tacos at bar!!! Club 10 rooms---overall wonderful, updated, excellent snacks/continental breakfast Spa---the best massage and body polish ever!!!! Debbie is a gem!... More

I am delighted to hear that you had some wonderful encounters with our 5-star staff at The San Luis. However, I am sorry to hear about your other experiences throughout your stay. If you would email me directly, I will be glad to look further into your issues with Security not responding to loud neighbors, your belongings being thrown away... More

I have stayed at The San Luis on a few occasions and had a good time. The place is a little antiquated but not bad. Today I received an email for "Buy one night get one night free" but only on certain weekends. I thought that seemed like a great deal and jumped online (as I always do) I found... More

I apologize for the experience you had with our Reservations team when calling to reserve your stay with us. You are correct, that we offered a limited time Buy One Night, Receive the Second Night Complimentary promotion, that offered a 2-night stay for $199. This promotion would have been cheaper to purchase than buying 2 nights at $129 each night.... More

My wife booked this resort from the property's website on the suggestion of another reviewer here who stated that by doing so you would be given a room on a higher floor. Our confirmation notice included a notation that we had requested an upper floor, and we were put on floor 9. I noticed many guests getting off at floor... More

The hotel is nice and the rooms are comfortable. The pool/bar area is the really great part of this hotel. Having all rooms face the ocean is great also, but we had to many service issues for me to recommend this hotel to others. I reserved two rooms for two nights each. Check in time is listed as 4pm, later... More
