We booked our room based purely on reviews we read on TripAdvisor and we could not have been happier. My wife and I went for our 1 year anniversary and stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, and our two beagles shared the room with us. On the drive down, I decided I needed to make sure that we got... more

My family and I took a trip in late June to SPI and decided to stay at a non chain hotel / motel for the first time. After much research online and reading lots of reviews I decided we would try the Palms Resort. We arrived a bit early so I spoke with the front desk and they were extremely... more

I was really satisfied with this hotel. We stayed for four nights. It is right on the beach, the staff was very friendly. The cafe was very convenient and had good food. The shampoo and soap are bath and body works. The floors are tile so there isn't a musty smell, the room was nicely decorated. Loved having a refrigerator... more

This place was clean, had direct access to beach and the staff was very accomodating. We enjoyed the restaurant and drinks( a little pricey). The pool felt great after a long day at the beach. we took our two girls with us. The sleeper is only a twin and would not fit both of them. We made a bed on... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. 2 adults and 4 kids. Kids ages 5-10. One evening we receive a knock on the door from a lady who peers in the room and asks if we have 4 kids. I say yes and she says that the hotel doesn't allow more than 2 kids and that they will charge... more

There is much more to the story than this reviewer is telling. I am the owner of the Palms Resort, and I was there when this incident occurred. I wasn't surprised to see his comments, since he threatened to do this as he was leaving. Here is the rest of the story. The guest was asked, when he made the...

This hotel was better than expected. We were surprised by the large size of the room. As promised, the location is right on the beach, and that section of the beach wasn't crowded when we were there. The restaurant/bar is great. Check-in/Check-out was easy. We had a late check-in and it went smoothly. They also gave us an extra hour... more

We looked at the Palms on the beach based almost exclusively on the TripAdvisor ranking and reviews. What a great place! If you are looking for a top of the line resort, then this definitely isn't for you. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, very clean place to stay, then look no further, We stayed the last week... more

The place was cute, clean, reasonable, and all the employees we encountered were very friendly and helpful. I was dissappointed that the restaurant didn't have any kid friendly or vegetarian friendly fare as I would have loved to have eaten there (they have a great patio) but, other than that, we were very pleased. I will most likely stay here... more

I was nervous about booking this place since I had never been to South Padre and didn't know what to expect. The island is one long strip of condos, and The Palms Resort is hidden among them. What a relief to come to this small, well maintained hotel. It was very basic, which is what we expected for the price,... more
