Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island
This hotel is in an excellent location. It has very good access to the beach, and the beach itself is much more open and wide than locations further north. The pool area is very nice and there is often live music in the evening. The staff is also very friendly.

Isla Grand Beach Resort
All good! Everyone was very nice, great room and also very well located. Beach and pool was incredible. They also have a lot of stuff to do, like the arcade room, which is great for kids. I’m just giving it a 4 stars since the room didn’t had a microwave but they did assist me at the coffee shop ...
