We liked: Washer and dryer in unit. Comfortable bed. Boogie boards in closet. Did not like: air conditioning being turned off before our arrival so that it took all night for the place to cool down, 15 minute walk to the beach up a long sidewalk / no beach view, furniture that is rusty and unstable, toilet didn't always flush....

My sister and best friend met me in Corpus Christi and drove over to the 'island.' we rented a condo called El Cortez Villas which we knew of by word of mouth. It was very affordable, especially with 3 sharing, very clean and comfortable. I made sure to go AFTER Spring break was over. We had housekeeping service and really... More

Upon arrival I was given the keys to 203, we entered and discovered that the room had two full beds in the master and the one I reserved had a king bed. I went back to the office and complained that they gave me the wrong room. The lady explained that she had called me back the day I reserved... More

We just spent a weekend at the El Cortes Villas in Port Aransas, and it was wonderful, everything we hoped for. It was just my husband and myself and we stayed in a one bedroom unit. I will admit that the facility is somewhat dated, certainly not luxurious, but definitely spacious and comfortable. Both the living room and bedroom had... More

We have been staying at this place for over 10+ years and the past few years that we have stayed have not been pleasant experiences. Rooms with old food in the beds and in between couches, ants in the room, a TV that caught on fire and we had to use the fire extinguisher, and rude service. When we complained... More

We stayed in Unit 230 that overlooks the courtyard and pool. Very clean and nicely decorated. The condos are individually owned and these owners obviously have some taste and pride in ownership. The master bath looks like it was recently remodeled, the furniture was comfortable and good quality. The only downside for me was the 2nd bathroom (stand up shower... More

This place was not worth the money paid. I spent 5 nights here, with my husband and two young children. Every single bed was very uncomfortable, the air conditioner would not keep up, every time you touched the vertical blinds, several blinds would fall off, when we moved the coffee table, the leg came off. The place needs a serious... More

This place is dingy and needs a major overhaul, or just leveled all together. It''s basically an apartment complex that feels like staying at a frat house. El Cortez is being sqeeezed in by all adjacent properties with much nicer options. We stayed at #114, what seemed to be the prime location of the entire complex. This condo was closest... More

The El Cortez was everything we were hoping it would be and much more!!! We loved how close it was to the beach but with little ones we found it was easier to just drive to the beach. Beach access is just about a mile down the road very easy to get too. The apartment was fully stocked with things... More

if you want to have a family reunion this is not the place to stay. We have been staying here every summer for at least 10 years. This past weekend we had a terrible experience, the manager was rude,treated us like children, told our whole family that spent almost 2000.00 for the weekend, to wrap up the party and made... More
