Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island

“Almost Perfect”

The hotel was very nice all in all. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the live music each night as well as the live DJ at the pool during the day.

The hotel was very nice all in all. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the live music each night as well as the live DJ at the pool during the day. The swim up bar was super fun and the bartenders were quick and kind. The restraint on site is the Landshark and it’s GOOD. The chicken tenders feed 2 and the burger was super flavorful. Being ocean front was a huge plus and we got up and rented chairs and an umbrella each day ($50 for a full day -1 umbrella and 2 chairs). Cons: The showers don’t have doors OR a nook for a woman to put her foot on the shave her legs. Neither the room nor the entire hotel have a microwave to reheat leftovers. The in resort “shop” for necessities is supposed to stay open until 10 and it closed before 6 one night we were there and 8 another. I needed Tylenol and it was closed. There are no hot tubs on site.

“Not worth the hype-cleanliness of the bathroom major issue for a “luxury resort””

I have been waiting to visit Margaritaville SPI for a year. 1) the complaints about parking being a bit far from the hotel are very valid. Bring a wagon or something if you’re doing self park. Valet parking was $25 a day. 2)I wish there was more info on the website about spa services at Sapphire Sp… Mais

I have been waiting to visit Margaritaville SPI for a year. 1) the complaints about parking being a bit far from the hotel are very valid. Bring a wagon or something if you’re doing self park. Valet parking was $25 a day. 2)I wish there was more info on the website about spa services at Sapphire Spa( located downstairs but outside the building), I probably would have booked services before my stay. 3) the issues with water temperature in the shower are also valid, I came home from dinner and was ready for a hot shower and bed. I couldn’t get any hot water no matter how long I ran it and wasn’t willing to take a cold/tepid at best, shower. So I had to turn it off and wait 20 minutes for it to get hot. Then I had hot-ish water. 4) My largest complaint is the quality of the cleanliness overall, but mainly in the bathroom. If a bathroom isn’t cleaned properly, that is a huge issue for me. When I first got to the room, I noticed the first hand towel I went for, had makeup on it. I was going to let that slide, until I was able to take my hot shower and saw someone had drawn a heart on the shower wall/door, with their name. Now sweet as that is, Kami is not my name and it tells me that this bathroom. REALLY was not cleaned properly after the last guest. I am so sad that this is the “luxury resort” the island has to offer, and at the price I paid for the night, I really should be able to walk away saying “I can’t wait to come back”. Sadly my overall feeling was, disappointment and a feeling of save your money and just go with the Hilton next door. The front desk was barely manned when I got up to address the issues before checkout. I checked twice before 8:30 so I could speak with someone but no one was around. The one saving grace was that Amelie G was so hospitable at check in AND at check out when I did tell her about my issues with the cleanliness of the bathroom. The beach access was great. The pool was very full of families and kids, so if you want more of a romantic or quiet getaway, I would suggest finding an adults only resort.

“Partial ocean view is a joke”

The good: Good location right on the beach. Comfortable bed. Nice big pool with a pool bar. Pool towels provided. The restaurant was pretty good. The not so good: not enough chairs by the pool. The partial ocean view high floor room 603 was a waste of money. You can not see the beach or ocean fro… Mais

The good: Good location right on the beach. Comfortable bed. Nice big pool with a pool bar. Pool towels provided. The restaurant was pretty good. The not so good: not enough chairs by the pool. The partial ocean view high floor room 603 was a waste of money. You can not see the beach or ocean from the room. You have to stand on the balcony and look to the left. You can not really even see it from sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the tiny balcony because they are too low and there is a black plastic mesh cover on the railing. The floors in the room were dirty. Housekeeper didn’t show up until 6pm on our third night and then they just left towels, coffee and water and only left us with one coffee cup. I guess they took the other one.
