The afternoon after we checked out of the hotel, I realized I forgot my swimming trunks on the back of the bathroom door. Being that we were staying on the island another couple of days, having the trunks for frolicking about on the beach would have been nice. My wife called and the person at the front desk said that... more

My family went here in 2008 for Thanksgiving and was fairly pleased with the hotel. Nothing great... but we really enjoyed the happy hour with unlimited free wine, beer, soda, and snacks; heated pool, small breakfast and Thanksgiving dinner. We went back this year for Thanksgiving 2009 and were extremely disappointed. You only got one free drink per person (wine,... more

This should not be advertised as a Best Western. In the past they presented a so-so breakfast. Now it is down to almost nothing. First room soaking wet carpet. Asked for a room change. At first they said the water on the carpet was ok. Wet socks. Went to 2nd room and no hot water. Went to the hot tub... more

A friend and I booked this hotel for a couple of reasons. The proximity to the beach was important but the main reason we were willing to pay the $75 per night rate was because they advertised Free Beer, Wine and snacks during Happy Hour . Please be forewarned: this hotel is NOT honoring that offer. They will give you... more

We splurged for a beach front room with balcony and the view of the beach was really great - but the room had an overwhelming smell of PineSol. By the second day we realized that this may be an attempt to cover the smell of mold. Luckily, we had great weather and were hardly in the room or we would... more

This is a great place to stay, reasonable prices, clean rooms, and prime location right on the beach. We made several friends while there because everyone seems to be happy to be there, relaxing, and everyone is open and friendly. Watched a beachfront wedding while standing in the ocean. Definitely plan to revisit. more

Tempurpedic beds wonderful, loved having fridge in the room, pool was clean and beach relaxing. Breakaway parasailing very fun over Laguna Madre. Dine at Marcella's in Port Isabel by the Lighthouse, wonderful Italian food. more

The rooms are large and nicely furnished. But the best part is the memory foam beds,comfy pillows and easy beach access. Couch, nice chairs and ceiling fan top are great too. But this is where the good stops. In a busy season you will find the amenities insufficient for a leisurely stay. With a 1,000 guest capacity the pool is... more

First the pros: the fresh-made Belgian waffles in the morning are awesome, the Tempur-pedic mattresses are comfortable, the beach is right there, the ceiling fan is a subtle plus and is nice to blow on your freshly medicated sunburn. The room was plenty clean, we got all the towels we wanted, and I must say I didn't see any roaches... more
