I LIKE IT SMELT GOOD NOT WET IN THE ROOM. I DID HAVE A PROBLEM NO ICE MACHINE, NO CONTENENTAL BREAKFAST. I ASKED FOR HANDICAP WITH EXPEDIA THE ONLY THING THAT WAS HANDICAP WAS IT WAS ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND HAD A SAFETY BAR TO GET INTO THE SHOWER. THEY SHOULD HAVE A SHOWER CHAIR THAT WOULD OF HELPED ME SHOWER MY DISABLE HUSBAND.

This is our first time staying here and other than the fact that Expedia did not tell us there was a resort fee which we had to pay when we got there which was a surprise and other than the fact that our toilet exploded, but they put us in another room really quick it was great . The poolAs they stated was heated The photos are exactly as the facility or should I say resort is and the staff was amazing. They went above and beyond but other than my experience with Expedia, I will let them know. We had an awesome time and we will definitely come back and tell family and friends, the same thing since they’re already asking us # reason for 5 stars .

Things were out dated dirty and broken. I would like to upload some pictures to Expedia so someone else will not experience this place. Very disappointed on our stay.

Good location, an easy walk to the community park and Roberts Point Park for dolphin watching and the seasonal decorations. The room itself had comfortable mattress, bedding, and nice pillows. Nice body wash, lotion, and shampoo & conditioner in the bathroom. Unclear on how to get refreshed towels daily. Hot tub looked cloudy, but the pool was very nice. Walls are very thin, we had a large family staying next door, even heard snoring at night. Front desk called us the first afternoon after we checked in the previous evening and told us that there had been complaints that our dogs barked & kept neighbors up 'all night' (I guess that's why they were snoring so loud!) and that we had left the dogs in the room to 'go out'. We had arrived at around 8pm, unloaded our luggage, and walked our dogs for about an hour, got back to our room around 10 and went to bed. If the dogs had barked, they would have disturbed us FIRST before they disturbed the neighbors. Front desk person acted like I was lying when I told them this and spoke to me in a scolding tone. Dogs were with us the entire time, we were out of the room most of the day, and went to bed early each night. They would occasionally bark once or twice when the large family next door would slam doors and yell. It is not the resort's fault that there was a huge group of loud people. I do wish they'd been proactive and offered another room to either us or the giant family (presumably the complainers) to resolve the issue.

This is a great place in the center of Old Town Port Aransas. Great to walk or rent a bike (at a separate business) and access pretty much any part of town with ease. Great cart rentals on site, also.
