The rooms are super clean thanks to the great housekeeping staff onboard. Kudos to them! They work hard so make sure to leave tips... More

I noticed they don't have traditional comforters that most hotels use. Instead they use a couple layers of bedding. I also noticed that after other had checked out all of the bedding went into the laundry and not just the sheets. I thought that this was amazing and wish every hotel did this instead of having a comforter that only... More

Great place! Biggest drawback is that the walls are noticeably thin, so I'm grateful we had respectful neighbors that were as quiet and went to sleep as early as we did. It's a very short drive to the beach, but I'm not sure if I would have bothered to try walking it along Hwy 361. However the concerns are absolutely... More

This place advertises "Wifi in every room'", however there is absolutely NO Internet access even if you want to pay for it! Hate misrepresentations, especially when done intentionally. I cannot fathom why they would lie so readily.

My daughter & I stayed here on a mini vacation & had an excellent time. The staff was outstanding & went out of their way to make sure we had everything we wanted. Breakfast was good - game room was fun, the pool was heated and just an overall fun place. We would (and have) recommended this place to our... More

First of all, i was skeptical about using Priceline's "name your own price" and when I bid for a room, received an email that i would be staying at the island hotel. As we got into the parking lot and i went to check in...immediately i knew we had made a great choice. The front desk was so inviting and... More

I needed to just get away from work so we booked a stay after reading other reviews on this site. We booked from their site islandhotelportaransas.com as they had a "three night" deal that was $70 for Wednesday, Thursday and $130 for Friday and this is considered off season as it is before Memorial Day weekend. Checked in at about... More

Great, and clean hotel! The heated pool was awesome and the staff was excellent. Hats off to Kara and Emily for helping me during my stay! It was close enough to town to enjoy all the food yet no too close.

A great place to stay. Minimal extra fee for your pet, unlike some other local hotels which charged much more. Heated pool was a plus. Rooms were clean and grounds neatly manicured. Finally a nice, clean place to stay with my dog.
