Top Pelican Island Hotel Reviews

Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We got adjoining rooms and everything was as specified.."

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"We came for our anniversary. Overall, we had a wonderful time. The view of the beach is beautiful and the pool was great. It was relaxing. The front desk staff was polite and very helpful. We had a couple hiccups. There was a couple places in the room that didn't look like it was cleaned before we got there and the carpet was fraying into the bed room. The biggest issue was that the valet left our car unlocked the whole time, that was unacceptable. We ate at The Steakhouse on property; they opened special for the holiday weekend. Sadly, it seemed like the restaurant wasn't prepared to be open. We had to complain about the quality of our steak and mashed potatoes to the manager. Overall, still a great trip and will come back."

Hyatt Select Galveston - Beachfront

10/10 Excellent

"Even during a busy holiday weekend, all of the front desk staff, as well as the cleaning staff, were extremely helpful and thoughtful! For a last-minute stop, the prices were great, and there was a lot available for purchase in the front lobby, as well as a nice continental breakfast! This location exceeded my expectations by far and I would happily stay again!"
