Sand Rose Beach Resort

Sand Rose Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"The rooms are spacious and clean. Staff are helpful and friendly. Loved easy access to the beach, and pool area which also features plenty of sitting area. Breakfast was also good👍 The only complaint is the a/c unit was a little noisy and shampoo, bodywash and lotion the hotel offers had a weird smell like it expired. Except for the conditioner it had a pleasant smell. Other than that everything was good. However we plan to return 😊"

Super 8 by Wyndham South Padre Island

10/10 Excellent
"I booked a room with a hot tub after seeing a very low price for it (2 nights for $117 total). The room was nice, bed was comfortable, microwave, fridge, and coffee maker also provided which all worked as they should. TV actually worked and had plenty of channels. My only gripe is that any clothes i left out felt damp by the morning. On the second day i checked the a/c and there was a "dry" setting, so i put it on that and left it there overnight. I'm not sure it helped but things did feel a bit less damp so maybe that did the trick. The location is great with restaurants and shopping areas within walking distance: The Senor Donkey restaurant next door had great enchilidas! The Blue Marlin grocery was about a 15 minute walk, and Ben & Jerry restaurant & bar was on the way back to cool you off with a nice drink. Black Beard's is caddy corner to this but i didn't bother with their prices. Dollar General is only a block away which came in handy. Overall, had a great time and would definitely stay here again."
