We made the reservation online after looking at the pictures of the hotel on their website, booking a king bed non-smoking. The lady called us the night of check in to see when we would arrive, being that I was getting off work late and driving from san antonio we would not arrive until 12am. When I told her this,... more

WARNING: Do not support this type of dishonest business!!!!!!! I made reservation a month in advance of my stay, on May 15th, 2009. The reservation was confirmed at $246.34 for a 2-night stay. When I arrived at check in on Friday June 19th, 2009, the front desk clerk refused to honor the official online reservation price and instead chose to... more

The room wasn't anything to brag about, but it was clean and everything worked. Positives: It was nice to have a mini fridge and microwave. It was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. The AC worked well and there was plenty of hot water for showers. It was fairly quiet as well. Negatives: the towles were tiny... more

We stayed at Shark Reef for 3 nights. The room wasn't the best, but it was good. There was a small fridge & microwave. The motel was near everything. The pool was nice. My son loved playing on the jungle gym. There was live music every night at a restaraunt next to the motel. I thought we would be able... more

Shark Reef Resort was a pleasant surprise. The room was large and clean. Bathroom was in good shape and the beds were fine. Small fridge was very cold. The grounds were huge and well kept. We could not hear any outside noise or anyone in the rooms on either side of us. There were several families with children but we... more

This is truly one of the last "cheap" resorts to stay at. We stay there every year for a full week to fish and relax. It is a great hotel for a fisherman. It is very close to the boat ramps and ferry, it has a launder mat next door, It has indoor outdoor carpet inside, a kitchenette, TV, a... more

After reading the other reviews here I cant believe that this is the same place. The staff was friendly and courteous and my room was not the newest but it was certainly clean and nice for the price. There is a lovely jungle gym for my kids to play on and a volleyball court. There was no ice machine but... more

Not too bad

After reading the reviews about the Shark Reef Resort I was a little nervous but I needed to find a inexpensive hotel that allowed dogs and this was it. It was nicer than I thought. Yes, its a motel but it was clean and the courtyard was nice. Our room was fine, big bed, tv, ac, a couch and table.... more

Caution!!!

Don't do it!!! This place is gross! We bought some dishwashing soap to clean the kitchen, hoping to make breakfast the next morning. I put some grapes on the counter for a few minutes, came back to wash them and there were ROACHES. Needless to say, the grapes went in the trash!!! We will never stay there again! If YOU... more

The honeymoon suite was suppose to be remodeled and ready to go, but when we checked in the room was not ready. They did not offer us a reduced rate but just gave the room rate for normal rooms. I feel that the Resort should have contacted us and told us that it was not ready. It is suppose to... more
