It was a pleasant stay, check -in was efficient and friendly. The shuttle driver was polite and available to drop us off and pick us up at local restaurants. Oscar at the outside bar was very personable and a great bartender. Didn't use the restaurant or pool area. Will definitely be back! more

We had rented a condo on Corpus Christi beach that turned out to be a disaster, so I got a last-minute room at the Holiday Inn Emerald Beach to escape the nasty condo. For $40 less than the nasty condo I got a large room with a king bed. It was clean and very comfortable. It wasn't beach front but... more

My husband and I moved our youngest daughter into her dormitory at Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi, and I chose this hotel for it's beach location and proximity to the campus (8 miles). I was worried after I read the reviews, but I could not have been more pleased with our stay. We were in the North Tower, so... more

Stayed here for two nights following a business trip to Corpus Christi to relax before going home. The beach access is great - rentals right outside the door - very reasonable - $5 per chair and $10 per umbrella. We rented at 10AM and were able to keep them till 5:30PM. Beach was nice. There are also wave runner rentals.... more

When hotel room pics are not posted on the internet...it's a clue. We last minute changed our reservations to stay closer to the beach. We arrived and we were disappointed with how old the building appeared. It was renovated in 2006? where? The ceilings were very low in the hallway, it had to be 6'3" or so...it had black looking... more

I was booked on a business trip into this hotel. When I arrived, I phoned for a shuttle, was told the shuttle would arrive within 20 minutes, and waited. When the shuttle didn't appear in 30 minutes, I called back. There was no record of a shuttle being sent, so the desk attempted to dispatch a shuttle again. It took... more

We stayed here for 5 days/4 nights. The beds were extremely comfortable. Rooms very clean. All staff we dealt with were very helpful and friendly. It is a beautiful hotel. They keep the beach in front of the hotel very clean. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. more
