Amazing vacation Destination with tons of locals involved in tourism and not a bunch of chain junk. Even though there is an awesome Rainforest Cafe to check out it even has a ride! Definitely recommend taking a trip seeing the dolphins on the coast!

Galveston combines two of my passions, the beach and history. That little island has seen so much happen over the years that you can't turn around and not see something from the past still living today. It's also full of ghost if you're into that.

Love the Seawall area. You can rent umbrellas/chairs/boogie boards right on the beach. Also, from time to time people come around selling slushies and tamales. You can see people of all ages and demographics fishing. Family fun. Want to go again.

Being a Minnesota native, it was an incredibly phenomenal experience seeing ocean, palm trees, and an affordable fee for helicopter rides. I really enjoyed the pier, the bigger waves in an actual ocean, seeing beach patrons fish around sunset.

Galveston is a great place for family friendly fun, with a slight New Orleans flare! Ghost tours are a must, you learn so much history of the area! Mardi Gras is an amazing event, and extremely safe thanks to the PD presence! Enjoy your trip!

The Elissa is worth a visit every trip to Galveston. Sea Wolf park is always a great place to explore. The train museum is never boring. It is always fun to walk down the strand and grab a drink at the shirt shop and taffy/chocolate. Beach!!
"Great: location, staff, beach access across the street, indoor and outdoor pool access, excellent restaurant, "Doc Holliday's" next door and a McDonalds.
The place despite being a beach hotel was very clean. For us it is nice that it was pet friendly, for a price!"
"Clean room just like we expected sheets smelled like used or not very well washed but I was very tired from a long day at the beach we just knocked out really quick. Kitchen was just like we expected clean included soap, sponge and kitchen utensils. Breakfast was delicious overall i would recommend and i would definitely book again just bringing my own sheets this time."
"We had a wonderful time! The property was very kid friendly and the location was excellent. It looks like it had just been refurbished because everything looked new. Every staff member was professional and super nice. Will definitely return to the property again. "
