Del Mar Hotels, Corpus Christi

"Hotel is run down. Staff does their best with what’s given. Pool area filthy."

"An amazing stay! Housekeeping everyday! Everyone on the team is so nice thanks to Christopher and Josh :) I would so stay here again."

"Honestly, when I first pulled up, I was like, "Seriously? This is what I paid $600 for?" And that was just from the outside. Inside wasn't much better. After dealing with the front desk staff and getting charged for parking (which is insane!), I went up to my floor. The carpet looked awful, peeling up and everything. The walls were missing trim, and the wallpaper was falling off. The hallway had this weird, musky smell. The rooms themselves weren't too bad, but it seemed like they redid the rooms and then just gave up on the hallway. The ceiling on the first floor was leaking, with huge puddles everywhere on the first morning. Honestly, the best things about this place were the kitchen, the outdoor bar, and beach access. Other than that, it was absolutely terrible. I'd probably never stay there again, especially for what I paid. To elaborate a bit on the parking, it's definitely a scam for hotel guests because the number of people who parked there and didn't pay is ridiculous. The number of people who swam in the pool after hotel guests had to wear colored wristbands to show staff they were staying there was also ridiculous. So, all the stuff I was paying for and the amenities, people around me were getting for free, and that's what really ticks me off."

"I liked the bayview of the marina. The hotel was very clean."

"Lively Beach used to be one of my favorite resorts in Texas but my last stay was a disappointment. The check-in/check-out is a so clunky. At 4pm, I was still waiting for a code to get into the property and the office didn’t answer. I was out by 10am check out time but didn’t receive any information about checking out electronically until 9pm that night. The resort is showing a lot of wear and tear. I’m sad about it because it’s a really beautiful place."

"Very accessible! Great staff!"

"Nice clean room."

"Breakfast menu was fresh and well displayed so finding what was needed was easy. All staff members were professional but helpful and very friendly. Room was very clean."

"It makes me mad every time I have to pay to park at a hotel. Like I'm going to park somewhere else. My wife and I drove separate vehicles so I got it double. Construction coming in and out. Our room view was a little beach and construction area. I missed breakfast because I got a text about 8am telling me they were doing work with a crane and my vehicle needed to be moved immediately. At that point I just decided to pack my stuff and leave. Not a good experience for us. "
