Top Dolphin and Nature Research Center Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island

8/10 Good

"Overall our stay was good. The Jr King suite was good sized and the layout was good. The hotel is showing signs of age and definitely needs some TLC(carpet in hallways is stained, peeling paint in several areas, etc). Biggest complaint was the balcony in our room. We paid extra for an ocean view but the chairs on the balcony are too low so you can’t see over the railing and you have look through the plastic safety fencing. Also you only hear the AC units below and not the ocean. The room has two club chairs but a small sofa would be better."

Padre South Hotel On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Excellent desk for the price!"

Holiday Inn Resort South Padre Island - Beach Front by IHG

"It was close to the jetty to watch the Starship launch and right on the beach. The rooftop wasn't open to use to work. That would have been very nice."

"This was perfect for me for my trip. I will definitely try and stay there again if I have a chance."

Waterfront 2 Bedroom 3 Beds Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Sarah’s Cove was definitely a place to relax, unwind and feel very comfortable. I appreciated the location all of the amenities. The fact that you’re able to use a golf cart. The living space was very comfortable and cozy. The couches were very comfortable. The beds were very soft and updated. I appreciated the bedding. It wasn’t like a traditional, basic hotel bedding.. It felt very homey and very relaxing. I will definitely stay here every time."

Beautiful And Cozy Bayfront Getaway at Port Isabel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second time staying at this property during the summer. We were very impressed with our first stay—the house was clean, nice, and comfortable. Unfortunately, our second stay was quite disappointing.First, we noticed several large, dirty spots on the carpet that looked like they may have been left by pets and had not been properly cleaned. Second, the kids’ bedroom was not clean. We found ants on the floor and even on the beds. There were also many ants on the first floor and around the front entrance.Another issue was the noise in the kids’ bedroom. The road is directly in front of the window, and the traffic noise made it very difficult to sleep comfortably.We also found a large amount of dog waste outside that my husband had to clean up. We travel with a dog as well, but we always make sure to clean up after our pet and leave the outdoor area clean for the next guests.The outdoor playground was also a concern for us because there is no fence separating it from the water. For families with small children, this does not feel particularly safe, as young children can easily run toward the water.Finally, the pool was the most disappointing part of our stay. It is quite small and was not kept clean. People were sitting and eating in the pool area, and I found popcorn and other debris under my feet while in the pool.Considering all of these issues, I believe the price should be adjusted to better reflect the condition and experience of the property."
