The staff are very nice at all times; the couple that live on-site even offered us home-cooked tortillas! The rooms are gorgeous, with marble countertops and dark cherry wood everywhere. The hotel is in a very convenient location, just 15 minutes from downtown Corpus Christi, a couple miles from Mustang Island State Park and only a short walk across the street to the beautiful beach! We will definitely stay here gain!

An overpriced dump
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/11/09
Rooms are OLD and musty. Everything in the place is overpriced but they are still pretty much the only game in town. Lucky for them or nobody would go to this place. Restaurant is horrible, there are so many little ones in the pool without proper diapering that it concerns me. If you are looking for a place like this I would suggest looking in Port A or S. Padre Island. There are a few nice condo corporations on North Padre that might work.
Hotel is pretty outdated, rooms are clean - what you would expect from an older hotel that has people running all over in wet swimsuits and covered in sand.
Staff was pleasant, helpful, service overall was good, but not exceptional. This is NOT a resort if you are expecting the kind of resort you see in the Caribbean or Mexico! If you want to ...

Worst hotel experience -- ever!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/27/09
The service at this hotel is dismal. Rude and argumentative staff, and basic guest services (housekeeping in particular) were severely lacking.
Our family of three stayed in the hotel for four nights. After the second night, our room had not been touched by anyone in housekeeping. The beds were left unmade, the trashcans were overflowing, and ...

Definitely not what I would call a resort.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/03/09
My complements to the photographer whose portrayal of the "resort" on Holiday Inn's website is nothing short of miraculous. How he made those two tiny pools appear so big is amazing. If the windows in our room had been clean enough to see through, the view would have been spectacular. The two elevators there were VERY slow and ...
This is a party hotel... we love it. It is on the beach...has a nice pool and hot tub and an outside bar. It is a pirates dream... hot, musty, and sandy. There is live music every weekend outside by the pool... wow- music, water, beer, and a hot tub.oh did I mention Beer?.. nice. We use this place every year for our reunions. The rooms are Ok, ...

We Loved It!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/18/08
We read all the reviews and had some concerns regarding the negative comments. But we wanted a hotel at the beach, and this was the only one in the area. We were pleasantly surprised. Just driving up was an experience - the bright colors of the outside, the dunes, the water, the waves. The staff were extremely pleasant throughout the six days ...

Disgusting!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/11/08
I really wish my family and I had read all the reviews about the broken elevator, mold and mildew, small rooms, and unfriendly service BEFORE we spent two nights here! I took pictures of all the black mold in the bathroom before demanding a new room. The new room did not have a TV that worked. The overall experience of our stay was terrible. We ...
We had a great time!!! I absolutely recommend staying here. It is right on the beach! The staff was extremely helpful and nice. There are not many places to eat nearby, but other than that we had a wonderful time and will go back again.

We were at this hotel this past weekend, 8-3-08, and found it to be very plesent. So, just a few tips. 1) if you are expecting a "resort" this is not for you, nor is the texas gulf coast. 2) if you are expecting a 5 star expirence for this price, you will be dis-satisfied
So, we found that the rooms did not smell musty, and that it ...
