As soon as you walk in you are immediately glad you decided to book here The hotel is clean, the staff is nice, and the views are beautiful The breakfast made me feel like I was on a cruise with open windows overlooking the bay

We really enjoyed fishing off of the private pier and my wife caught a PB black drum My only complaint was our room had on of those conjoined room doors which made it easy to hear your neighbors It made me slightly uncomfortable, but overall I loved this hotel and we will definitely be back

Melanie Thomas

The view was amazing, great breakfast and nicely decorated rooms but the last night I was staying I left the hotel to go to the grocery store and when I got back no parking spots whatsoever The morning I was checking out my daughter was sitting and saw a silver fish on my bed Also I find how the pool and hot tub is overpopulated and the people in it don’t leave until 3 – 6 hours

Everything else was great Next to a few restaurants you could easily walk to Nice bay side view

Michael McCarter

Check-in time is 4pm and we attempted to check in We were told the room wasn’t quite ready, but “give us 10-15 minutes” OK, no big deal

At 4:15, same story This goes on til 5pm There were no apologies, no have a drink at the bar on us, nothing At 5pm, during my 5th attempt to check in, one of the other employees senses my frustration and says to our receptionist, “Just give them another room that’s ready” What a brilliant idea! So we get get checked in The room was very nice, a double queen on the bay side Excellent views! Great location Nice room amenities-small fridge, coffee pot, ironing board, etc Great AC! We settle in to go to sleep that night when the fire alarm goes off and the entire hotel has to evacuate I know they have no control over this, but it definitely detracted from the experience Next day we got two mixed drinks from the bar Mine was extremely weak/watered down, but my wife’s was quite good The pool was surprisingly cool for late summer, which felt good The hot tub was nice & hot The complimentary breakfast buffet was pretty good Overall, it was a good stay but the first day sucked Just a little customer service would have gone a long way when our room wasn’t ready I would rate 35 stars for our experience

The room we stayed in was nicely appointed and we were able to walk right out to the canal from our room The pool was nice and not crowded the weekday we spent in it Management was very nice and responded immediately to our needs

The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because we had dinosaurs rearranging furniture in the room above us, but it wasn’t too terrible

Ethan Muller

The location was great it was a short ferry trip to port Aransas Beach The service was great too But the room was not the best although the beds were clean the sink bowl was cracked and when you wanted cold water it was a little stream of it and If you wanted hot water it came out a lot faster but that is the only problem we had

Overall a good place to stay on vacation or business

Darrian Bertrand

Hotel room was dirty (something sticky all over the desk and hair all over the shower curtain) and the bathroom ventilation was poor (even with the fan on, within a few minutes of the shower being on the whole bathroom was soaking wet and there was moisture behind the large mirror in the room) This was probably why there was a strong musty smell Breakfast is also only a yogurt or a frozen sandwich, which has to be requested at the front desk

Not terrible for a night or two, but I wouldn’t want to stay there any longer

Keith Lewallen

The heater didn’t work in the hotel The first night i spoke to the the gentleman about it and he confirmed it wasn’t working and he tried two other rooms but they didn’t work either The toilet wouldn’t shut off and the water was running the whole time

We had to use the hair dryer to help heat the room where we could sleep We woke up for the free breakfast but it’s not on, contrary to what is reported on the hotel site You are given a breakfast bag with a muffin, a fruit cup and a granola barTerrible customer service and the manager was never there and wouldn’t return any phone calls They never offered a room that had a heater that worked or any compensation NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

I was about to give 5 stars until a cockroach from the ceiling fell on my head in the bathroom The rooms are nice We were mostly on the beach or checking out the sites

So we only really slept there We brought our own food and kept it in the ice chest or the fridge It was a great stay My family really enjoyed it And you know they enjoyed it when they were snoring when they were sleeping We will be back next year The beach is 3 or 4 blocks away That’s a nice walk Or you could drive your vehicle down to the beach too If all goes well next year I can change my review to five stars Just that cockroach falling on my head at 2:00 in the morning in the bathroom was not okay

Nice little place in town within walking distance to the water and park By all the stores you need: HEB, Walmart within two miles away and restaurants Wild Prawn was good

30 min drive to Corpus Christi Parking is a bit tight but it’s a small hotel Room very clean and updated Does just have coffee set up but as a travel nurse, I bring everything with me anyways We got a pack of single serve Folgers and sugar etc from HEB for $1 each We left a day early and they refunded us a room with no issues Housekeepers and owners very nice Get receipt on check in The only downside is no towel hooks in the bathroom; just one towel bar and no curtains to keep light out of windows Bathroom kind of tight but remodeled and new Good apt sized fridge and micro We bought food and kept it without issue without having to eat out for all 3 meals People park all over A few live ins, but they are nice Great view of the park and water

R J

Simple, clean and right across from the harbor, park and Rockport beach Fixtures were a little rusty but that happens at places closer to the water A/C was nice and cold

I will say there isn’t anyone in the office and you have to call to get a room key The staff meet you there quickly There was some things going on in the parking lot You could tell locals knew the place wasn’t monitored on site We still plan to go back

This is a newer hotel with the most anti-viral precautions of any I’ve ever encountered The cleaning staff is not allowed to enter rooms until guests check out! They leave fresh towels, linens and supplies at the door for you if you request them! That said, our room was clean and looked almost new I didn’t see any dirt or stains

The bed was a little softer than I prefer, but worked The biggest draw back was that the water at the sink took forever to warm up and never got hot That was not a problem with the shower It was fineThe breakfast was the best I’ve had at a hotel since Covid started There was a clerk assigned to make sure everything was well stocked and fresh She did a great job and was friendly and helpful Gloves were provided so that you did not need to touch any utensils with your hands Sausage patties and scrambled eggs were served both days that we stayed there along with fresh pastries, a waffle maker, yogurt, fruit, juice, coffee, cereal, oatmeal, etc There was pretty much something for everyone The dining room was spacious and comfortable, tooThe foyer is attractive and I was impressed that there were two working elevators for guests and several luggage carts I didn’t use the gym or pool, but they looked good

Ryan Benavides

I stayed at this location in September 2021 with outstanding service I planned another trip this April 2022 and I was extremely disappointed Walking into the hotel I was greeted properly

However, as I entered the elevator it smelt like dirty dogs The smell was so awful As I was entering my room I noticed there was a black mark on the toilet seat, dust all over the furniture and a strong weird smell Everything seemed “cleaned” but wasn’t When I finally went to bed I started to feel extremely itchy and uncomfortable I woke up and saw a little black bug that looks like fleas I immediately got up checked the entire bed and felt awful I notified the front desk and they told me due to COVID I have to wait till 9am for someone to clean I was extremely upset because this feeling was awful Finally, I addressed it with this company and they said this is a mystery of my “bites” because there was no evidence of this situation After hearing how they are handling this situation is wrong I will be contacting Human Resources and submitting proof of my bites and issues that we had in this room I can’t believe the staff didn’t care about this situation They made it seem like I was making it up Back in 2017 someone else had this same problem I’m writing this review to help peers avoid this situation

Benjamin Talaro

My wife and I loved the experience we shared here especially when the person(Jennifer) greeted me when I came in the establishmentI have to say Jennifer should be the face to represent the Wyndham Hotels She was the best!! The room was perfect making our little vacation even more memorable

The breakfast experience was excellent and the lady responsible for it was nice as well!THANK YOU!! 💯👍🏽

The staff in the lobby were friendly and helpful The private pier access is awesome for fishing and the views from the room are great Our condo 405 was beautifully decorated and very clean

The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room It was four of us and still two bunks that we didn’t even use Definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway and enjoy some fishing

Jack Densmore

We had an amazing time with our visit with this hotel The room was clean, the entire hotel was clean and well maintained, and the staff was extremely friendly We noticed by the signs that there is regular round of pest control, so no signs of bugs!The pier was also high quality, very sturdy, and structurally sound

Had a fun time fishing even though the fish just stole our baitWe didn’t get time to try the pool but it also looked very clean and maintainedHad a nitpick complaint that the sliding door to the balcony was hard to open/close but the staff was aware and I understand it’s hard to maintain stuff like that in a coastal climate It did not ruin our experience at allThis is a phenomenal hotel and if we ever find ourselves in Rockport again we will look here first for a room I want to thank Laguna Reef for making our quick vacation a pleasant one!

It’s fabulously wonderful, having a relaxing and reminiscing tripping down memory lane on the Island, from back before Hurricane Harvey Aug 2017 Soooo appreciative to all the men women and children who have pulled this Island back together!!, as it was in ruins and sososo upsetting to see for All intensive reasons and all of the local community that lost so much! Good job by all and God Bless you all

Thank you Thank you Thank you!💕💕💕🙏✝️☮️

Shon Stevens

Wow! What a little gem We booked this condo sight unseen and both my husband and children were very happy The only reason for the 4 stars is that the WIFI and plumbing in the bathroom of our unit weren’t the best

This spot is literally walking distance or a golf cart ride away from all the island amenities–including the beach! There is a nice track across the street The view from the balcony is beautiful at any point during the dayThe pool and grill area are functional We cooked outside, and on our stove There was a full size coffee pot, 4 slice toaster, pots, pans, utensils–you name it it was already there for us to enjoy! The pool has nice evening lighting We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location to others There are two bars right next door and multiple restaurants on the same block, but there was never excessive noise If you are considering staying here, you won’t regret it You can park your vehicle and walk everywhere the whole time your there!

ALR

Was a great place for the weekend The pool and outdoor cabana area was extremely clean and well kept The condo itself was very cute and the bed was comfortable

The provided plenty of towels and the kitchen was stocked with everything one might need Was also pet friendly which is a huge plus The front office also rents out golf carts that can be delivered to the condo which is a nice amenity It’s just a short minute drive to the beach as well and is a few feet from multiple restaurants and bars Place was very quiet and never heard the neighbors The porch facing the pool and beach was gorgeous Had a great time and can’t wait to go back!

This was a great place to stay Cottages are clean and very nicely decorated We had five in our party, and we’re very comfortable

Kitchen was fully stocked and we were able to have fresh seafood in house Great location, walk to all the shops in town, and just 5 blocks to the beach They even have a pool my grandson enjoyed Matthew made checking in a breeze Definitely recommend, and definitely staying again

Eric Hopkins

Honestly, at first sight online, this place looked a little

shady But I gave it a chance because it fit the specifics I was looking for when it was time to reserve a room When my family and I arrived, I was surprised at how cute it actually is We had such a great time there, I just wish we could’ve stayed longer Just a short walk/drive to the beach AND to the strip in the opposite direction What made it better is the fact that “Matthew” made us feel right at home He was extremely friendly, funny, and informative Thank you so much for your kind hospitality! We will definitely stay there again the next time we’re in town

Brent Arnold

I actually really enjoy this hotel This is my go-to hotel for my work travel to RockportI originally gave it four stars as it is difficult to give a two star hotel five stars but considering how many other hotels I’ve stayed at in the same brand line this one really does stand out so I think it earned it

The staff is super friendly, remembers me after just a couple of visitsThe rooms are always clean as are the bathroomsThe breakfast is actually decent and the servers really seem to care about helping, even cooking some bacon more crispy than othersThe bar isn’t too bad but I don’t frequent it since I work a lotThe fitness center is actually pretty nice for a FairfieldIf you stay with Marriott, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here if you ever need to

S Bryant

Amazing stay! This hotel was extremely accommodating for my family and me this Mother’s Day weekend First off, the lobby, dining area, and bar was beautiful Front staff so kind and inviting! The room was absolutely gorgeous, the bed was so comfortable, and having two TVs was so great! We called for extra pillows and blankets, they were up in minutes

My kids were in heaven during breakfast… muffins, waffles, bacon, eggs… We will be back for sure next time we are in Rockport!

Dichelle Hogues

I’m giving 5 stars because overall it was great I would love for them to update/clean the outside furniture The patio/cabanas near the pool are a perfect addition but need a little love

The swing and chairs near the fireplace smell like cigarette smoke and I get it’s their location but for non smokers can’t really enjoy We will definitely stay here again because the outside is not a deal breaker in this 1000 degree summer weather in the great state of Texas

Came here for the sole purpose of fishing, and was very surprised at how great the rooms were! Very spacious and clean All of the staff were super friendly and helpful, especially Brooke at the front desk, and the housekeepers Loved that they had a private Pier, the only downfall is that other people who weren’t staying at the hotel were using the Pier

Other than that amazing place We caught some great fish, and so did other people next to us Gafftopsail catfish, hammerhead shark, and black drum

Tina Salinas

The rooms are clean and newly updated The private fishing pier is a great bonus, but the pool was a disappointment Stayed 3 nights ,upon arrival noticed pool pump was not on the water was very cloudy

Asked front desk about it, they said it was caused by a crack in pump They had someone working on it We didn’t chance it as the other guest did 100 degree Temps, body fluids and no circulation is disgusting 2nd day of stay cable TV was out After 24hrs they got it fixedGreat breakfast

Juan Lopez

This hotel is perfect for what it’s meant for The ocean is right in front of it!!One doesn’t go to Rockport to stay in the room!! The room however has comfortable beds and clean restroom! Did I mention the hotel has its own pier!!! Fish it, walk it or even just admire it! A quick drive to the restaurants and pubs off the bay strip Stay for a day or even week

You never know what you’ll see in the water!!

I spent a few days here in November 2021 for a “girls” getaway The rooms were clean and comfortable and the property was too Location was perfect for what we did; whooping crane bird tour and eating the freshest seafood at local spots

The pool and hot tub were lovely Other guests were kind and respectful I really wish every hotel stay was this simple and layed back This is a gem within a gem of a town

Roland Salazar

We had a great stay! The pool is amazing!The rooms are spaciousDefinitely would recommend to anyone!!The only thing I can stay is the hot tub wasn’t working but it the pool made up for that😃!Oh the breakfast is definitely a “continental”breakfast

Lauren

This is our favorite place to stay in Rockport! We love it! The pool is excellent, close to town, good restaurants walking distance We enjoy bay fishing and also fishing across the street from the hotel It is affordable and they are accommodating

Morgan Wright

Great location and pool Nice that breakfast is included, but know it’s average There was a stain on the sheets, room was maybe lightly cleaned before we arrived

Wasn’t sure any of the linens were replaced Bring your own pillow if you stay here They provided two per person, but they’re as flat as a pancake Another thing that was bothersome: The motel says it’s smoke free, but people staying there would be smoking right outside the rooms, so still smelled like smoke We stayed two nights and housekeeping never came into our room to give us new towels/replace toilet paper Upset to spend $400 for two nights and have no turn around service We did go the Saturday and Sunday of Sandfest, so I understand increasing the price, but definitely wouldn’t stay here again You live, you learn

Sheri G

Great place to stay in Port A Close to everything, nice, pretty new, and very clean More amenities in the room than I was expecting for the price

This will be my go-to hotel the next time I visit Would totally recommend So about the clean: Things can look clean and aren’t of course, so I ALWAYS do a thorough wipe down of all surfaces, remote, switches etc, with Clorox wipes every hotel room I stay in Usually, I am pretty disgusted by what the wipe looks like when I’m done, but not here I was amazed at how not dirty they were If you don’t normally do this, after you do it a time or 2 somewhere and see what you’ve wiped up, you will always do it But I was very pleased by how clean my room actually was when I arrived The hot breakfast was typical, but extensive Waffle maker, little pre-made omelets, sausage, hashbrowns and of course a variety of muffins, bagels, etc Everything was fresh and hot when I arrived

Carol Warkoczewski

Great roomClean Great, hot breakfast! No fresh fruit, but everything else

Nice outdoor, covered seating areas with grills Nice pool with cabana-like seating areasVery convenient walk to CVS, beach stores, decorative beach buggies across the street I spotted roseated spoonbills in the marsh area next door, with other wading birdsFUN!

My husband and I just stayed there and we were very pleased with everything What I loved the most is that I was able to sleep through the night because it was very quite The bed was really comfortable and the room was really clean

I was also at ease because they have cameras on the premises so I knew our vehicle and we would be safe The service was great Thank you Sam for showing us the kitchenette We will stay there again when we come back

My husband and I stayed at the cabins for a quick quiet getaway from the city We absolutely LOVED it As soon as we walked in it smelled clean, everything was tidy, and so comfortable

We enjoyed the comfy homey feeling it provided with a small kitchen and super clean restroomWe will surely visit again in the near futureWe highly recommend!

Third time staying here and while we appreciate the activity, privacy is also appreciated Expect a spotless stay but the owners live in close proximity and frequently come over to the cabins to throw hints or KNOCK LOUDLY on the door at 7pm for us to throw out the trash I understand maintaining properties but that also comes with some things being able to wait until the end of a 2 day stay, thanks

Cabins are beautiful besides the rude comments I also received today from the owner about it being a problem that my child picked up some rocks that are IN THE PARKING AREA Didn’t see why it was an issue Will not be returning

Nice staff, room very clean Toilet didn’t flush fully Manager told me about a screw you have to adjust to raise the tank water to the appropriate levels

They should’ve already had that properly installed They delivered our breakfast in the mornings Oh, DO NOT TAKE FOOD TO POOL at night Several different kinds of roaches will be in your food within seconds Our $30 pizza was opened just long enough two grab 2 chairs across the pool, came back, had at least 6 big passed roaches on it Other than this, we’d stay here again for $100 bucks less a night Nice room, great staff

Tabitha Bailey

They are always so friendly and take the time to ask how u are and talk to u The rooms are always clean and the air conditioner is usually on The pool is clean and refreshing after being sunburned

This is the only place my husband and I stay when we go to port a which is usually once a month during the summer time Also the breakfast is wonderful

Beautiful little place for our weekend stay The only downside was that the hot tub didn’t heat up beyond luke-warm

no biggie for me but disappointed the young-adult kiddos Maneuvering between the gorgeous Live Oaks in an F350 Dually was tight, but doable and our cottage was near the back I accidentally violated the 10pm closing of the laundry room, trying to wash/dry offshore fishing gear The staff simply left a nice note explaining the hours and left the door unlocked for me to finish I locked the door when my load was done Overall lovely place well-run Highly recommended!

Beth Schroeder

We needed a place for the night but wished we had more time to stay at this fabulous resort Misty in the office was awesome, friendly and full of information We travel with a boat and 2 hunting dogs so finding a place that works for us is tricky

The boat parking was secure and easy to use, the pet fee is on par with most chain hotels if not a bit less The cottage was perfect, clean with all the items needed – a kitchen stocked with dishes and the soap & dishwasher to clean up after Bathroom and bedroom were also clean and ready to be used Nothing out of this world but in excellent condition The atmosphere of the place is like a small town, friendly neighors and a great area to walk Plus there is access to the water if you would like to fish I highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again

Angela Garza

Pelican bay resort was a nice quite getaway for me and my family I was a little worried about how close proximity the cottages were but we encountered no problems with the other guest The cottages were nice and clean

The staff was amazing Definitely would suggest this place to my family and friends My family is already planning our next sta

I posted a scathing review about this hotel The clerk called me and we ironed out the problems In short, the hotel is a very very small hotel and staffing in this retirement town is difficult

The one clerk also has to strip the beds and all the other tasks, along with one, maybe two other people To make this short and sweetif you want an excellent location, the most accomodating clerk who is one of the best people I’ve met, Sun, be sure to call to confirm your arrival time in the afternoon, and, smell the sheets before you take the room Take care of these two issues and your will have a simply incredible stay

Haley Anna

If I could give this Motel a 0 star I would When we arrived the toilet had actual feces on the seat The shower had some type of mold in the tub, every single surface was disgusting like nothing had been wiped or sanitized

The blanket had a stain that looked like feces The microwave and fridge were DISGUSTING, and the fridge didn’t keep any of our food cold The walls of the shower looked like they had never once been cleaned Everything literally everything was just sooo disappointing, even for a motel 6 I will never ever recommend anyone to this motel Which is sad because my family and I visit this area quite a lot It was beyond disgusting Plz never stay here Waste of my money

Gabriel Cantu Jr

Clean place but manager was rude and confrontational He didn’t have the pool open when it was so hot outside so we went and asked why He told us bc their was a chance of rain but it never did rain at all but he finally got persuaded into finally opening up the pool

Other guests were happy to see the pool finally open as well The pool did look pretty dirty but when it’s hot out, any water feels great to jump into!!

We rented a two bedroom, one bathroom cabin The floors were dirty upon walking, our socks literally turned brown after walking around for a few minutes The beds are largely uncomfortable, please go somewhere else of someone in your party has chronic pain/illness, they will be suffering

For people of color, warning: there are a lot of confederates here I’ve seen various versions of the confederate flag here and I’m uncomfortable go about at night Stay safe, but don’t let them ruin your fun eitherOther than that, the cabins themselves look cute I suggest renting a go cart ahead of time as they go quickly

This has become my home away from home It’s very clean & well equipped It’s like renting a little house

My mom & I look forward to it all year We make coffee & breakfast in the morning, sometimes grill out in the evening You can sit outside & have coffee or eat your meal & if you want to swim in a pool instead of the ocean, they have another property that you can do that! The ocean is only a 10 minute walk away though It’s so lovely, the best location & best staff anywhere They have my heart ❤

Crystal E

I love this place! We stayed a while back for my daughters birthday weekend We had three adults and two teens It was just great friendly staff, clean unit, comfortable beds

You can’t beat the location in proximity to the beach and shops, I skated all around the area in the am and it is just the best by far! Told my family about this place many times, I think we are going to do a group trip and use them again We didn’t cool, but we used the fridge it is defiantly a useful asset to have on vacation… especially with kiddos!
