Just returned from a 4 day mini vacation. I have always used Trip Advisors for hotels, etc. I was alittle concerned about staying here after reading some of the recent reviews. But, after staying I was very pleased with the property. The rooms were just alittle dated, however, they were clean and the bed was comfortable. The water in the... more

My fiance and I made a spontaineous trip to SPI one Saturday and decided to stay overnight and booked a room at the Isla Grand (room 204, pool side). I suppose everything was satisfactory until I woke the next morning. I had welts on my lower back and the right side of my hip that burned and itched. I showed... more

My Family just returned from what we thought would be a great vacation:( I thought I would splurge alittle but Isla Grand is by far the most terrible MOTEL (this is no resort as stated people) and I use to be a Flight Attendant so I've stayed many places! We basically paid for an expensive pool to swim in. The... more

Isla Grand Beach Resort, or the old Radisson, is old, dirty and overpriced. There is heavy dust in the air-conditioning vents. There is mold in the bathroom and the room smelled moldy. Parking stinks. We asked and paid for a king-sized room and wound up with two double beds! We are in our early 60's and tall people. The workers... more

I recently stayed at the Isla Grand on South Padre. We had a cabana room close to the beach. I always use travel wise to check out the hotels and resorts before hand. The reviews i had read had made me very uneasy but since i didn't have an option on where i was going to stay since i was... more

Visited this resort in February, 2009. We had a two bedroom unit with a full kitchen and were quite pleased. Furnishings in the living area and second bedroom were outdated but clean. Full kitchen with dishwasher, full refrigerator, plenty of dishes, pans, silverware. Nice view of the gulf, beachfront property, two pools, three hot tubs, tennis courts, tiki bar, restaurant... more

Because our plans were flexible I had not made reservations, instead choosing to decide when we got to the island. The Palms was full so we called the Isla Grand (Radisson) and confirmed availability and price. We drove over there (5 minutes from the Palms) and were told the rooms were now 20% more than what we were quoted. After... more

We, too, were present during Hurricane Dolly for the conference (which should have canceled earlier), and chose to ride it out due to short notice on evacuation. I must agree 100% that the service during this awful situation was to be commended. The staff was so attentive, even though they were terrified themselves, and made sure each and every guest... more

The place was full when we arrived - they were hosting the conference we were attending. Then hurricane Dolly approached and the place emptied out. So, being resilient the conference decided to continue (didn't want to give refunds) and we decided to ride it out. The front staff got us a 1st floor Cabana room - all outside entrances. I... more
