The hotel offers perfect views and direct beach access. Barry's food was both delicious and convenient, and the beach bar had a fantastic DJ--highly recommend it for a relaxing evening by the water. Our room was extremely comfortable, and I was impressed with the size of the balcony. There was plenty of parking, and the hotel is conveniently located right across the street from the Sea Turtle Conservation Center. The front desk staff were kind, friendly, and very helpful when we reported an issue with our shower handle. We would absolutely stay here again in the future!

I was literally told that it depends on the bartender what they decide to charge! And be careful not to get price gauged on your whiskey/water. I got charged a $2.50 upgrade for water "mix." It was refunded after I spoke to the manager but with no apologies. And actually, she only refunded me the $2. I had to request the .50. By this time it's was just the point of the matter. But DO take advantage of the food and drink "all inclusive" offer. It's a great deal!

Our stay at Sand Rose Beach Resort was just okay overall. We have stayed here for several years…read moremainly because of the location. It was great when it was La Quinta. The hotel is right on the beach, situated between Clayton's Beach Bar & Event Venue and Barry's International. It is also within walking distance to the South Padre Island Birding, Nature Center & Alligator Sanctuary and Sea Turtle, Inc. The hotel also offers a great free breakfast, and the staff is always super friendly. The pool was not that great for lounging around. Our room had a very strong mouthwash-like smell. The room itself was clean, although the baseboards needed a serious cleaning. The overpowering minty odor was noticeable every time we walked in, and there was also a faint sewer smell on and off throughout the hotel and in our room. We experienced similar odor issues last year as well, except then it smelled more like a strong cleaning product similar to Fabuloso. In addition, our key cards had to be rekeyed, and several other guests seemed to be having the same issue. Also, if you are staying above the first floor, be prepared for a very slow elevator. Overall, we enjoyed the location and friendly staff, but with the recurring odor issues, the pool area, and the maintenance inconveniences, we are not sure if we will stay there again.

Things that stick out as extra special: 50 cent margaritas from 11 - 7 pm day $1 bloody marys from 11-7 pm every day best iced tea ever huge diet cokes blackened shrimp salad blackened fish tacos anything fried super yummy hamburger fajita con todo taco breakfast con todo taco The atmosphere is Port Isabel chic. Paintings of gulls, caricatures and "Brittany's Gallery," line the walls. There's lots of teal but you're not going for the decor. You should be there for the tacos filled with (get this!) bacon, ham, egg, beans, cheese, tomatoes, green peppers, egg, onions, sausage all wrapped in at least an 18 inch tortilla. See my pic... it's as long as my forearm and twice as wide. Long story, even longer: It's unassuming, maybe even a little sketchy. But the thing you can count on here is that it's gonna fill you up and never let you down.

The room was very clean, the beach access was super convenient, and the pool area was a great place to relax throughout the trip. Every staff member we interacted with, from housekeeping to the pool staff, was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. One thing we really appreciated was how responsive housekeeping was. The hotel normally changes bed linens every 3 nights, but we requested service a little earlier, and they had no problem accommodating us or cleaning the room whenever we felt it was time. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again on our next trip to South Padre!

It does have a kitchenette BUT you'll need to bring your own pans, plates, utensils, etc. For us, it wasn't a big deal. Since we know that our stuff is clean to use from the start. You will also need to bring your own dish soap and sponges. Don't want to bring all that stuff? Totally fine since there is a HEB across the street to get all the needed supplies and food for your stay! The room came with two full size beds, 1 bedroom and a pull out couch, it was pretty comfortable overall.

We reported it and were moved to a second room, only to find more brown stains on the sheets there as well. When we asked about a refund because we no longer felt comfortable staying, the manager, Imelda, was rude and unprofessional. She told us the rooms were supposedly at a "discount rate" and non-refundable, even though this was never discussed when we booked the room in person. Instead of trying to help resolve the situation, she kept insisting the hotel was fully booked and that they would lose money. The issue wasn't just the stained sheets, but also the way the situation was handled. Cleanliness and customer service should be taken seriously, especially when guests immediately report problems upon entering the room.

The staff was friendly from the front desk to the maid service. Will definitely go back to this hotel. Tip: The coffee is weak from the coffee maker packets they furnish.

The fixtures (tub, shower, balcony)in the room are outdated. I stayed in the King Oceanfront with Jetted Tub. It was probably one of the biggest rooms I've ever stayed in. The balcony is a little too small though, and there are only 2 chairs. Definitely could use a table and extra space for lounging and taking photos. The location is nice, an accessible path to the beach and about a 5 min drive to restaurants and shops. The parking lot does get full quickly but I appreciated that parking was included. The on-site restaurant was nice for drinks and dinner while lounging at the pool. I enjoyed the shrimp tacos and fish sandwich and everything is reasonably priced. I also enjoyed the included breakfast.

Everything from the pull-out bed in the couch, to the the kitchenette, the queen bed, and the very small bathroom area was clean. Our Beachfront Queen Suite room for 1 adult and 2 children came out to $526.52. PROS The views of the Gulf, the friendly staff, the short walks to the beach, a cafe with a full bar downstairs that offers all three meals, and the existence of an outdoor pool were my favorite things. The overall property was clean and trash-free. No rowdy neighbors. It was peaceful both nights even with the restaurant directly below us. I was able to back my Jeep into the same parking spot each time even when the cafe was packed. CONS Our door did not possess the tight-fitting seal I wish it had. Ants on the balcony, crawling up the main entry door. Water bugs in the bathroom on the second night. Pool filters were not working. Worn-out boardwalk and decks. The place could use some maintenance and fixing up and bug control, but overall I was happy and felt safe. My girls were happy.
