Hotels
South Padre
Island boasts well over 50 hotels of various
sizes and amenities. You can find fancy, high class resorts and budget hotels all in South Padre. With so many
options, it can be challenging trying to determine where to stay. To help you with this task we have put
together a list to make it easier.
Questions To Ask Yourself When Choosing a Hotel, Motel, or
Condo:
1. Choose a place which is in
location that has most of the activities you will be doing. If you plan to be on the beach most of the time, it is a good
idea to stay in place that is right on the beach.
If you are planning to do a lot of shopping, it is better to stay in a place on the bayside or on the inner
island. If you are planning on doing mainly
fishing, it is better to stay in a place on the bay side.
2. Often times, inner island
hotels and condos can be cheaper because they do not have beach access. If you are on budget and don’t mind walking, you may want to
check out those locations first.
3. Determine how you will be
getting around the island and how this will impact your hotel or condo selection. If you are going around by car, be sure you have access to a
parking space. If walking, you will want to choose
a spot that has most of the locations you want to go to in the vicinity (restaurants, bars, shopping,
etc.) If you will be taking a taxi or renting a
scooter, you will have more options.
We have decided to
divide up South Padre Island into four sections to help with your decision
process. These sections have been arbitrarily
broken up into the following:
- Southern Tip-
goes from the southern tip of the island up to Haas
St.
- Southern Middle-
middle portion of island going from Haas St to
Atol St.
- Northern Middle-
middle portion of island going from Atol St to Carolyn
St.
- Northern Tip-
goes from Carolyn
St. up to the Northern Tip of South Padre Island.
Each of these
sections offers its own set of shopping spots, restaurants, attractions, and activities. To help to determine
where hotels are in relation to these sections, we also will use the following hotels to better pinpoint
locations:
- Gulf Side-
describes hotels, condos, and rentals fronting the Gulf of
Mexico.
- Bay Side-
describes hotels, condos, and rentals fronting Laguna Madre Bay.
- Inner Island-
describes hotels, condos, and rentals not fronting the
bay or Gulf.
By following these
descriptions, it will help you make the best accommodation choices based on your planned activities and
interest. Other articles, will explore each area to give you specifics on what each area
offers.
