Hotels near Sea Turtle Inc, Cameron County

First time visiting this Hilton location. It was a great experience! We are willing to come back and stay here again! Food was great, service was good, pool is amazing -could've been better if towels were available to the guess at pool area. :)

Fantastic stay from start to finish. Everyone on the staff was so friendly. The breakfast buffet and omelet bar were a definite highlight. Beautiful, clean rooms with comfortable beds. You can't ask for closer to the beach. It is literally outside. I will be back!!!

As a platinum-level Marriott member for many years, I have stayed at many Courtyard hotels.as well as similar facilities. This is one of the most overpriced ones I have seen. It was off-season in South Padre Island (a resort area that has a distinctive peak season), yet the prices I paid were nowhere in line with the service I received. The biggest issue was the way that this hotel is laid out. When you first drive up, it is difficult to locate the entrance to the parking lot, even though this is a relatively large hotel. It is challenging to find a parking space in the main parking lot, so you typically have to park across the street. It takes about 7-8 minutes to walk to the hotel from across the street. I was surprised that they don't have a shuttle (golf cart) from that parking lot as temperature is an issue most of the year. Once you enter the hotel and check in, there is still a further long walk to get to your room. For some strange reason, the conference center part of the hotel is situated between the reception area and the majority of the hotel rooms. And, if that were not enough, the signs marking the way from the lobby to the hotel rooms as well as to the restaurant, Bar Louie, are difficult to locate. I don't believe that I have ever seen a hotel organized in such a slipshod manner. In addition, on Friday night and Saturday night, you could still hear the band playing in the hotel rooms. The furniture and the carpets are a bit worn. I found a nickel under a piece of furniture in my room, the cleaning staff had not done their job properly. Breakfast was not included in my room rate (even though I am platinum). They do not offer recycling for water bottles or aluminum cans, of which I noticed piles in the garbage cans. On the brighter side of things, some of the staff, particularly Vanessa, an assistant manager, were helpful. My room was relatively large, had a balcony with a partial view of the ocean, and everything worked in the room. The swimming pool is a good attraction for children. There is access to the beach.

Beautiful landscape with tons of palm trees at this resort. Plenty of parking space. Our room had very comfortable beds and a great view of the beach. The Windjammer’s Beachfront Cafe had a great breakfast buffet with excellent service and a beautiful view overlooking the pools and ocean. The Coffee Hut was convenient and served delicious Starbucks coffee.☕️ The Quarter Deck Lounge had excellent entertainment and bar service. I really enjoyed Comedy Show and live band/ DJ this past weekend. Loved that the band played a variety of music. Overall, I highly recommend this resort.

The problems: the website does not represent the reality at all, our dresser drawers wouldn't stay closed, balcony door was very difficult to lock and was unlocked upon arrival, the handle of the exterior door came off and we had to postpone our vacation activities so it could be replaced, the free breakfast was inedible, the room phone had no signal, the wifi didn't work, the manager was extremely rude and refused to work with us. The details: I booked this hotel for 3 nights but only stayed one. My friends and I were disappointed when we walked in the door but decided to make the best of it. Everything looked and smelled very old- not at all like the pictures on their website. The first thing we noticed was that the dresser drawers were open. We closed them and they fell open again. We put clothes in them thinking the weight would help. They rolled open again so we had to just leave them that way. The balcony sliding glass door was unlocked when we got there. I tried to lock it and couldn't get it. It took two of us to force the door shut enough to get it to finally lock. I had minimal service on my phone so i tried the wifi. It didn't work. I was going to call the front desk for help but the room phone didn't even work. I was able to call on my phone and the front desk person said that alot of people have a difficult time getting the wifi to work but he didn't know why. We left the room to explore the island then returned to go to sleep. We had a busy day planned the next morning. We had already found out that the exterior door was hard to shut and needed some extra force. But as we were closing the door on our exit to spend our first full day in padre, the door handle came off. I had to borrow a phone to call the front. They said they'd send maintenance. I asked for a room change. That request was completely ignored. Now our plans were delayed. My friends check out the gym while I wait in the room. The 3 men (who didn't speak any English) had to replace the whole assembly (front and back handles). My friends went to get our continental breakfast. They wouldn't allow them to bring in their water bottles from their workout. They don't allow food to be taken out of the restaurant. The pancakes were rubbery and the yogurt was warm and runny. The gym equipment was so dirty that you could see the discoloration. The restroom in the gym was locked with no one in it. So we decided to change hotels. We go to checkout and pay. The guy says I have to pay for all 3 nights. I ask to speak to manager. He has to call her. I get on the phone and tell her all of the reasons why we are leaving. Her response was that she personally inspected the room before we arrived and everything was fine. They always leave the balcony doors unlocked for their guests. They fixed the exterior door handle. And a lot of hotels don't allow you to take food out of the restaurant. I told her I would dispute t the charges and she rudely said to

Very good resort hotel, beautiful and convenient. The hotel is located on the south side of Nampa Island. Except for the RV campground in the southernmost park, there are no taller buildings. If it's not winter, the swimming pool would be nice. There is a boardwalk to the beach behind the hotel. The high-rise room facing south can see the starship base and launch tower. You can imagine how popular this room would be when there is a starship launching. At night, the lights of the Starship Base Assembly Factory and the strobe lights on the launch pad can also be seen on the balcony. This is a great housing option for starship enthusiasts.

It was right off the beach as it had stated. The staff was friendly and nice. The restaurants in Shopping work nearby. It would’ve been better if they had heaters over the bar coming down right side during the colder days and if the water was warmer and that part would’ve been perfect. We would stay again at this particular hotel.

I stayed three nights at this well-run, well-maintained hotel for work. I know the brand well as a lifetime Platinum Reward member. They were doing some maintenance during my stay, but nothing that will affect you. The elevator's walls were covered for protection and some plastic covered some of the carpeting. The staff was friendly and efficient. I normally don't eat the complimentary hotel breakfasts, but this place actually has good ones. Each morning was different. The first day they had excellent breakfast burritos, the second day was sausage, egg & cheese on a hard roll and the third day was a small buffet. with chorizo & eggs, in additional to -lain scrambled eggs along with French toast, potatoes and the usual stuff. It's too bad other properties don't take a page from their book. There aren't a lot of hotel choices in Brownsville and I would stay here again. I have one negative thing to mention and it has no reflection on the hotel. The hotel was busy that rate for the first night was $298. Is what it is. What blew me away the nine different taxes totaling $51.46 per night. I'm not sure what the parking tax is because it was free. That's more than $300 in taxes for two rooms for three nights. I piad for my colleagues's room so I get the point. Wow.
