We were looking for Beachwater park ticket discounts stores. They offered tickets same price as websites so in reality it was no discount. We enjoyed the Sea turtle Inc, Bird Nature and Alligator facility. Beach and weather were great.

Holiday Inn Resort South Padre Island - Beach Front by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"This resort has its perks, including pool and close to beach access. The staff was friendly and seemed approachable upon arrival, will give it props for its agua frescas at the entrance.
Some cons that were evident to me were as follows.
1. Outdated restaurant menus with pricing that were provided on resort bracelet.
2. The carpet within the halls were dirty, but that’s a given due to pool and beach goers. Just seems a bit outdated also and would rather have preferred wood flooring.
3. The pool music was extremely loud for such a small area, would like to be considered that not everyone goes to just party.
4. The gym equipment was reasonable but limited. Also, some of the machines do not work properly.
Overall, I don’t entirely dislike the place. It does seem a bit overpriced for the value and my expectations were a bit higher. It was a weekend getaway and still enjoyed my time, but could be better could be worse.

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites South Padre Island by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"Garantía de Holiday Inn, IHG. Me gustan mucho las habitaciones espaciosas con sofá cama para que duerman mis niños y tener espacio para el equipaje. Desayuno americano variado, alberca con agua templada, fácil acceso caminando a la playa. Un plus fue el abanico de techo en la habitación ya que no tuvimos problema con secar los trajes de baño. El único inconveniente fue que se despegó sola una moldura esquinera y cayó sobre mi niña de 6 años que iba pasando. Afortunadamente no pasó a mayores. Otro detalle que el huevo que se ofrece en el desayuno es todo igual, cuando fue con pimientos mis hijos no quisieron comerlo. Con el estacionamiento no batallamos y cruzamos directo a sea turtle inc y birding center. Esperamos volver seguido."
"Even just a partial ocean view makes all the difference in the atmosphere of the calm serene rooms of Padre South Hotel. The front staff made check in & check out so easy and comfortable, the pool was pristine and so accessible. "
"This was our second visit here. The front desk was great and very accommodating , the rooms were clean and it was a nice stay. Would definitely recommend and will be returning "
