Beautiful area. Great for walking. The rooms were small but quite adequate. Very quaint. My only issue was the listing that said heated outdoor pool. The pool area was nice, but definitely not heated.

Beach access was just steps away from of our room. Love the convenience of the restaurant downstairs. The food and staff are great! Room was very clean and property was calm and quiet. If I could change one thing about our stay it would be the pillows, which were very lumpy and not very comfortable. We didn’t think to ask for different ones, or bring our own. But we will stay again, when we re-visit South Padre.
