    July 9th, 2025 All is well with the world when you get great fish tacos on a perfect sunny day

    Got an American Burger with a Mango Margarita and the service is caring and nice, will come back for good food and drinks at Galveston.

    Service here was great was met quickly and brought my food at a relatively fashion, drinks was satisfactory. Will most definitely come back.

    I love float so much! I always have a great time when I drop by! They have great tasting drinks, and I love to dip my feet in the pool while enjoying my drink.They have a pool that connects to the bar and some seats inside the water with a little bar, where you can order drinks & food and never have to leave the pool. The vibes here are always so cool, they play great music and always have a nice party vibe going. The staff is pretty laid back, and they have both indoor & outdoor seating which is always a plus because it gives you a great view of the ocean!

    Great view of the Gulf of Mexico. Very good food. I love their fish tacos and bibs (lettuce instead of tortillas). The drinks are good, too.

    Is this a place I can take my 3 year old and 16 month old twins and get them in the pool when they first open? I'd love some feedback from someone who has taken kids. Thanks!

    During the daytime you can

    Hung out here on Saturday and there's been much improvement in the service, hence the star upgrade…read more I think we had about three different cocktail waitresses serve us during our stay - which lasted well past sunset. They were all speedy and friendly, helpful when it came to selecting cocktails and food. Chocolate martinis are still delicious, as are the fruity frou-frou drinks - but not that strong. And each time I got bubbly or a mimosa, it was warm. I still drank it, but meh. Drinks are still more than you'd want to pay for a not-so-stiff drink, but what hotel bar isn't pricey? I spent probs more than $100 just on myself, so I rec just buying a bottle. You have to have a wristband to access the pool and get towel service; not sure how to get a band if you're not staying at the hotel. I guess you could always rent a cabana. Which are pretty pimp. Flat screen TV, couches, fresh fruit, bottled water and of course, poolside view and VIP service. Cabanas sell out fast, so book early (weeks ahead, not days) if you're gonna drop in on a weekend. The crowd here is an even mix of families, hotties and regular Joes, which I like. I did, however, notice a lot of hot moms with their kiddos. Great idea for those moms looking for a quick getaway that can entertain both adults and youngsters. Potties: Please use them. Don't go in the pool. As added persuasion, the restroom inside the main lobby has a tub of fragrant salt scrub that's complimentary. They also have foot showers, a mojito bar, wet bar, hot tub, kiddie slide with a grotto. There's a no-smoking rule here. I'm not a smoker, but I wanted to enjoy my Hight Cigar and feel all baller like. Ah well, I'll save it for another day.

    Great experience, helped with my tension headaches for sure , Evryone was great. I recommend this…read moreplace .

So other than the service being a little slow, the place was really cute. The ambience is amazing. I love the big chandelier. It gives you old-time rich vibes. Their menu has different options. They do have a vegetarian portion. The samosas were kind of like beef, taco mimosas that's what it taste like to me. They're red fish was really good cause the crab crusted on the outside and the sauce mixed together. I definitely recommend getting that if you like fish. I got it with a side of mac & cheese. It does come with veggies, but they let you change out the side. My mom got the margarita pizza and I've had pizza for sure but they do have five or six options of pizzas to choose from. And all the best thing was the bread pudding. Definitely get that save some room. It was warm with ice cream and the perfect bread pudding. I've ever had get it. There is street parking after six. It's free. There's a garage parking too. I don't know how much it costs. Besides the service, everything was really good. It took them a while to fill up our waters, but I did notice they were shortstaffed.

The Wagyu burgers are very good and so is the crab cake. The drinks are top-notch. The bartender who's there in the later hours is so amazing, so friendly, so funny.

The Caribbean music they play adds a nice touch. It's a great place for a business lunch, a late night with your friends, or if you're staying at the hotel, a nightcap or two would do.

When we arrived, we sat down & someone came up and told us that she'd be with us shortly. Well she said that 2-3 more times but after about 20 minutes of waiting we decided to just walk up to the bar and order ourselves. (The bar was lonely but most of the seats on the patio were occupied by friend groups). We had closed out on the first round of drinks with my card & had signed and tipped it. Then we ordered more drinks but with a different tab and card BUT at the end of the night, we were being charged for all the drinks, including the ones we had previously paid & already tipped for. The new tab that was opened only had one drink on it, and the bartender had reopened our previous tab and added the second round to there. When we brought this up to the bartender he was denying that we had already paid the first tab even though we clearly remembered signing the receipt and handing it back to him. He said he triple checked their system and did not see that tab and was ensuring us that it was not paid (the credit card already showed the charge). Finally, a different bartender that didn't even serve us somehow found the receipt. That was kind of crazy because he ensured us that he looked for it EVERY where and there was no sign of it and that he didn't recall us paying & signing the receipt for the drinks. If you do end up giving this place a try, make sure to ask for an itemized receipt so you know exactly what you are paying for and that there aren't any additional charges like they tried to push on us.
