I have stayed at this hotel several times over the years whenever the Sheraton next door wasn't available. We love the pool and the beach access and when my daughter was younger, the Kids Eat Free (when it was the Holiday Inn) was great. Yeah the rooms are nothing special but we stay here for the great beach access, period.... More

Be very wary about staying at this hotel. My wife and I stayed over Memorial Day weekend and her engagment ring was stolen from our hotel room. We were put into a room witha broken safe and we asked that it be fixed on the first day. It wasn't and 2 days into our trip we discovered that the maid... More

We have never been to SPI before, so was'nt too sure of where to stay...all the hotels seemed aged and tripadvisor reviews were varied. Note that this hotel is now called the South Padre Beach Resort - I found out that Holiday Inn dropped them because they weren't up to standard...If you got the rooms super cheap and just wanted...

I stay here every year, and it has always been great. The desk and bar staff are the best. The rest has good food, not the best ever, but it is good. Any problems we encounter are fixed, and any requests we have are fulfilled. The pools are great, and this time they offered a real nice deal. $99/night, with... More

This was our "makeshift" honeymoon, until his return from overseas. The tropical atmosphere drew me in, and it was much better than CenTex's 40 degree weather. The hotel was tucked next to Schlitterbahn which was cool, but not in the offseason. The parking was a little difficult (my car was nicked). The room felt like I'd stepped decades back. I... More

We attended a meeting in this hotel and wished that we had never bothered with staying there. The first thing that we noticed was that the staff seemed indifferent to their customers. It was like we did not exist. They all seemed to really not know what their job was, and most could barely speak English. Then came the check... More

My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway to South Padre Island. It was our first visit there and the first time he has ever booked us a getaway. The night before we left he asked me to priceline us a room. My research was limited but I did look at the hotels in the area and the pictures. This... More

Beware of how you Book your room. Booked on Yahoo and tried to cancel the room 6 weeks before the reservation. Because of a Yahoo document that states a cancelation fee of $25 up to the entire cost, the hotel manager would not refund anything. The hotel has a 7 day minimum without a fee, so Watch how you book... More
