South Padre Island lodging for your vacation

South Padre Island lodging is where you can be sure to get a relaxing vacation at affordable prices. The best lodging spots on South Padre Island are at the border of the island and sit just in front of the Gulf of Mexico. Depending on the hotel you choose to lodge, you should be aware that there is something special for everyone on South Padre Island. Here is a list of helpful information to take with you when searching for the South Padre Island lodging that best suits your needs.

Away from the beach front, you can find smaller hotels. The reason these hotels are favored is because they are much less expensive than beach front hotels. Staying just a couple of blocks away from the beach, might be worth the more affordable prices. Late January, early February is when the off season begins and when you can have your pick of the perfect South Padre Island lodging facility to fit your budget.

If you are looking for places right on the beach, look for places that face the Gulf side where you will get the best view. If a perfect view is what you are looking for, then you might want to try the Surf Motel. It has a small pool, a moderately price and the view is spectacular.

September is another time when prices begin to drop. This is the best time to get deals from larger hotel chains such as the Sheraton and Holiday Inn. It’s quite often that you may find specials that offer one night free at one of South Padre’s larger establishments.

If you choose to stay at the Sheraton South Padre Island Beach Hotel and Condominiums, you can be assured that you are staying at a 5 star hotel. The best part about the Sheraton is that children stay for free. The Sheraton is professionally staffed and has all the amenities you will need to enjoy your stay. This includes a bar & grill, waterfalls, high speed internet access, live entertainment, fitness facilities, children’s programs and more. When you visit the Sheraton, you’ll want to be sure that you take a dip in their pool, which is claimed to be the largest hotel pool in South Texas. It’s also possible that the room you are assigned will have its own private balcony and view of the Gulf of Mexico.

Another South Padre Island lodging establishment to visit is the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites. If you are looking for a place to stay that allows you to be immersed in tropical elegance, and escaping to their 500 gallon sea life aquarium, then this is the place to be. This Holiday Inn has oversized rooms with spectacular views of Laguna Madre Bay, The Gulf of Mexico, as well of their own tropical pool. If you stay here, your only choice will be to decide which breathtakingly beautiful view you want to see everyday.

The Howard Johnson hotel is another reasonably priced hotel. With 4 ½ stars, this lodging facility is in the heart of everything. All the coolest hot spots surround this beautiful location such as Padre Island Brewing Company and Louie’s Backyard. At Howard Johnson, you will be treated with a free breakfast each morning, if you are looking to save money.
