"Roaches, cockroaches, infested the room we stayed in. The 1st issue was when we arrived we noticed a putrid smell. There was an air purifier in the kitchen area. We assumed the smell was because the island had a bad storm in the weeks prior to our visit and the island had flooded. We arrived late the 1st day and barely spent any time in the room. The next day during sunny hours we started to notice bugs in the kitchen but it wasn't until that night we realized they were roaches. The later it got...

Isla Grand Beach Resort

Isla Grand Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Great stay for Padre Island! Resort experience in Texas, restaurant/bar was great, fun atmosphere with great pool/beach access. Keep in mind it is an older hotel so some parts are showing its age, however our room was nice, clean and updated. Rooms can get loud at night so I would bring ear plugs just in case. It did have a shared washer/dryer in hall with non working ice machines. Having a car is optional as there are lots of walkable restaurants, free buses and you can rent golf carts to get around."

The amenities were excellent, and it was a great place for our family to relax and enjoy our vacation. The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which was very slow and unreliable throughout our stay.
