"Had a lot of fun and a very friendly enviornment. The only issue I had was finding the room was a little tricky the first time, especially if you're in section B. There should be maps around the area to help out. Luckley a nice man who was also at the hotel was able to help me out. Amazing stay though; would book again!"

Ramada by Wyndham & Suites South Padre Island At the Beach

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very affordable, the staff was friendly, and the location was convenient—close to the beach and other amenities. The only downside was the pool. It was packed wall to wall with people, and loud Tejano music played late into the evening. My son and I couldn’t enjoy the pool because so many people were crowded into a fairly average-sized space."
