First 2 days no hot water, no towels available ever, son and husband got stuck in broken elevator, pool was beyond dirty, water looked beige and had chunks and chunks of hair i requested for it to be cleaned 3 times but it never got cleaned, last day the water was completely shut off at 10 am.

After reading some of the reviews, I was not sure how the hotel would be. Fortunately, my family and I had a great experience. I read some reviews that staff was rude, but we were treated kindly and respectfully. Also, some reviews stated that the rooms were outdated, but ours was really nice and clean. We had a wonderful view from our balcony in the 4th floor. The pool was very nice and we were a short walk away from the beach. Overall, very satisfied with the hotel!

Gross room, lots of bugs, dirty sheets

Reviewed By kkingsbe

Pros: Room has a (half broken) hot tub Cons: The walls, floors, and bathroom were extremely dirty. There were bugs found in the bathroom every morning, and one morning also on the floor next to the bed. The walls were extremely gross as well, with the remains of smooshed bugs on them. The sheets on the bed did not appear to have been washed, and when we asked for a new set of sheets one of the sheets had bodily fluids on it (they also took several hours to bring us these sheets). Do not stay here. Do not think the decrease in quality is worth the money you are saving. Also, just to add on to the experience, right outside of our window one of the nearby churches parks their vans with "Free Rides" written on the side. Stay elsewhere or pay more to stay in a nicer hotel on the island such as the Pearl.

Peninsula Island Resort & Spa

Nestled among the sea oats and sand dunes, and highlighted by the blue of the Gulf of Mexico, The Peninsula Island Resort and Spa South Padre Island, Texas is the perfect venue for a relaxing island escape. Located directly on the beach in the heart of South Padre Island's "hotel row", our upscale property opened in 2006, and combines the highest standards in construction with contemporary, tasteful design. The units are all well-appointed, and range in size from our very popular studio kitchenette units to our 3 bedroom/3 bath condominiums. With concrete walls, porcelain tile flooring, and leather furniture, our resort was designed to resist to mold, humidity and allergens all-too-often common near the sea. Our swimming pool is the largest infinity pool in South Texas, and features a convenient swim up bar. Each offers either a full kitchen or kitchenette, and everything else necessary to cook and serve a gourmet meal. If cooking is not your thing, Las Olas Restaurant Grill and Bar, located onsite, is considered by many to be one of the best restaurants on South Padre Island, and offers a variety of delicious homemade dishes available for in-room dining. All-in-all, the Peninsula is in a league of its own--offering the spacious luxury of a condominium, coupled with the service and appointments of an upper-tier resort hotel.In July 2016, we added 27 deluxe rooms, each room has high speed internet, two full size beds, sofabed, 42" TV with cable, and a minibar fridge.

Not very congested. The hotel is clean. The pool and the beach are accessible. Receptionists are nice and accommodating. Valet parking and restaurant are available. It is also near the city where different restaurants are accessible. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.
