South Padre Island Guest Reviews

The staff at Suntide was very nice and always helpful. But I wanted to make a comment on one in particular. Aurora was very friendly and very helpful. If we asked her where something was in town and she did not know she found out for us. I want you to please pass this on to her supervisor. I worked in a ski resort condominium complex in Snowmass Village, Colorado. I was in management and I would have loved to have had her on my staff. I know from being in the hospitality business that you do not hear the positive things about your employees; you only hear if they made a mistake. No mistakes from Aurora. She was a delight to deal with and very good at her job.

How nice to meet you last month. Now I have a face to go with my words to you. I seem to be a bit late in thanking you and the board for once again making our stay at the Suntide II a most pleasant one. But, I have discovered that when you stay away from home for two months, you have two months of catching up to do when you return. Nothing major needed our attention; just attending to the things we missed like a couple of birthdays, a doctor and dentist appointment, etc. Of course, as always, our stay was made comfortable and enjoyable by the work of Aurora, Christina, Joe, and the rest of the staff. I never worry about anything not working, missing, or wearing out; all of those little annoyances that seem to crop up when you are staying in a rental unit. When those types of problems appear, well, we knew that one of those three people would see that it was solved soon, if not immediately. We are returning for a week in May to help with the Sea Turtle Patrol and are bringing our son, Steve, and good friend, Rita, with us so are staying in 401 instead of our beloved 5th floor condo. I am also bringing copies of a children's book I wrote for Sea Turtle, Inc. about the green sea turtle, Allison. It's a simple read along book illustrated by my sister, Debbie. How easy it was to stay for two months this year. It is sort of like running away from responsibility for a while and just being young again and having fun without thinking about the consequences! We figure 55 years being responsible for children in the classroom entitles us to a bit of devil-may-care time now. But as always, we are glad to return home and once again enjoy our family. We returned just as track season began so didn't miss any of that. And we'll be here for cross-country and football in the fall. Having four grandsons who are athletes keeps one busy and we love it. We look forward to January and February again next year, as do all of those people who return to the Suntide II year after year. Hope to see you again when those months roll around. Wave if you see us in May patrolling the beach!

We had the priviledge to stay in this very nice condo Sept. 10 thru Sept. 14, 2009. We LOVED it! The location was wonderful, the condo was great, loved the decor and loved cooking in the kitchen. The master suite was great..we slept so good!! and the view...it was a God sent wonderful vacation. The beach was beautiful. The weather was great..a little rainy at first, but praise God for it! We enjoyed our stay so much! I love the sunrise walks and enjoyed the sunsets at Palm Street Pier...fun place to go if you want a night of entertainmnet and great food. The staff at Suntide II was very friendly and very informative on things to do/places to go. Thank you!!

We stayed in this beautiful condo June 8, 2008 - June 13, 2008. We were very impressed with the ocean view and the tasteful decor. We loved the fact that we could go down to the beach for a while, rinse off, then take a dip in the pool, then rest a while in the condo, and then repeat. :) We enjoyed several meals out on the balcony. The TV and DVD player entertained the children while we prepared meals. We were amazed that the pool, jacuzzi and sun deck never seemed crowded, even though this is peak season. We also noticed after walking the beach that the Suntide II complex has the most beautiful, soft, sandy beach area compared to many of the other complexes. We had hoped for a beach vacation in a beautifully furnished condo, with ocean views, where the whole family could relax and have fun. We were truly satisfied,and hope to return next year.
