We stayed with our puppy and it was perfect! The room was dog-friendly and there was plenty of space for us to take her on and off leash. There was also a relaxing jetted hot tub as well as a wading pool, a lounging pool, and a swimming poll—all saltwater!

I don’t know how this “resort” has such high ratings! It it weren’t for the fact that we paid for the two days with our points from Hotels.com, we would have refused the room. The a/c, though set on 63, never cooled the room past 78! The only saving grace was the ceiling fan above the bed. Bathroom needs total makeover, tub had mold all around it and the sink was an odd gray color due to age. There wasn’t a fan or exhaust system in there so was very humid when showering. In the plus column, the water pressure was great and the room was quiet even with all rooms around us being occupied. Never will I ever book here again and we visit Port A several times a year.

The staff was easy to work with! They even called us to check on our ETA because a water line was busted on the road in front of their property. So the front entrance was blocked and they wanted to let us know. It was a 5 minute drive to the ocean and super close to several restaurants. We look forward to staying with them again next year!

Hotel room was very dated and in poor repair and not very clean Dirty hand prints on walls and door facings. No housekeeping on a 4 day stay. AC went out on last night of stay. No 24hr front desk but messaged property through Hotels.com with no response.

I LIKE IT SMELT GOOD NOT WET IN THE ROOM. I DID HAVE A PROBLEM NO ICE MACHINE, NO CONTENENTAL BREAKFAST. I ASKED FOR HANDICAP WITH EXPEDIA THE ONLY THING THAT WAS HANDICAP WAS IT WAS ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND HAD A SAFETY BAR TO GET INTO THE SHOWER. THEY SHOULD HAVE A SHOWER CHAIR THAT WOULD OF HELPED ME SHOWER MY DISABLE HUSBAND.

This is our first time staying here and other than the fact that Expedia did not tell us there was a resort fee which we had to pay when we got there which was a surprise and other than the fact that our toilet exploded, but they put us in another room really quick it was great . The poolAs they stated was heated The photos are exactly as the facility or should I say resort is and the staff was amazing. They went above and beyond but other than my experience with Expedia, I will let them know. We had an awesome time and we will definitely come back and tell family and friends, the same thing since they’re already asking us # reason for 5 stars .

The room I was in was old, had a broken shower handle. The coffee maker was dirty, looked like it had not been cleaned in years. The bathroom faucets were old, dirty and broken. The pictures they show are not what the room looks like. Very disappointed in room rate for a bad place to stay.

Good location, an easy walk to the community park and Roberts Point Park for dolphin watching and the seasonal decorations. The room itself had comfortable mattress, bedding, and nice pillows. Nice body wash, lotion, and shampoo & conditioner in the bathroom. Unclear on how to get refreshed towels daily. Hot tub looked cloudy, but the pool was very nice. Walls are very thin, we had a large family staying next door, even heard snoring at night. Front desk called us the first afternoon after we checked in the previous evening and told us that there had been complaints that our dogs barked & kept neighbors up 'all night' (I guess that's why they were snoring so loud!) and that we had left the dogs in the room to 'go out'. We had arrived at around 8pm, unloaded our luggage, and walked our dogs for about an hour, got back to our room around 10 and went to bed. If the dogs had barked, they would have disturbed us FIRST before they disturbed the neighbors. Front desk person acted like I was lying when I told them this and spoke to me in a scolding tone. Dogs were with us the entire time, we were out of the room most of the day, and went to bed early each night. They would occasionally bark once or twice when the large family next door would slam doors and yell. It is not the resort's fault that there was a huge group of loud people. I do wish they'd been proactive and offered another room to either us or the giant family (presumably the complainers) to resolve the issue.

This is a great place in the center of Old Town Port Aransas. Great to walk or rent a bike (at a separate business) and access pretty much any part of town with ease. Great cart rentals on site, also.

We stayed in a cottage. It was great for our family of four. Separate queen bedroom. Nice kitchen and living room. Good place for kids to sleep. Nice tv’s and channel selection. Air conditioner and ceiling fans worked great. The pools were nice. One shallow that our two year old could walk around in and nice shaved ice and ice cream stand in the pool area. Pool area also has some games and good seating and tables. Great restaurant right across the street and others in walking distance. Will be coming back for sure.

We had a great stay this weekend!! Staff was very helpful, the pool was AMAZING! We even enjoyed the hot tub! And the location was so easy to find. The only complaint we had were the beds were hard as a rock. Definitely had a difficult time falling asleep. But we are willing to come back and try a different type of room next time. Thank you Tropic Island! See you next time

The bungalow was good for a couple of nights. It was a little small for 4 people. The loft area is only good for younger people as you have to stoop to walk around. The stairs are a little scary and need a handrail. The little AC unit struggled to cool the bungalow and the loft are was too warm. There wasn’t much space to move around in the living area and kitchen. The queen bed was pretty comfortable.

Our stay was terrible! Me, my husband, and my daughter rented the bungalow for her birthday for 3 nights! Couldn't check in until 3pm, which is kinda late after a long drive to really enjoy anything! As soon as we entered our bungalow, you're hit with unbearable heat! And I don't care what you say but that is not an A/C in the room! That is an air circulator! Not an A/C! After a hot and long drive all you wanna do is cool off and relax but couldn't do that! Our 1st night was miserable because of the 'A/C'! It's definitely small for a family of 3. So many silly sliding doors that were coming off the rollers, especially the bathroom! The sliding door in the shower kept coming off the rollers so water leaked all over the floor! No cold water so hot showers! When it comes to flushing the toilet you had to hold it for your poop to go down the drain! The kitchen sink had no water pressure at all! Some of the rules required you to wash the dishes before you check out but how can I do that with no dang water pressure in the kitchen sink?!?! Took me forever! Upstairs was still kinda dirty with sand because it's hella small up there that housekeeping doesn't wanna clean the floor on there hands and knees! And what's with the stairs for upstairs?! So small and narrow!! I was terrified my daughter was gonna slip and fall down those steps in the middle of the night! I think I should get a refund because our stay was so terrible and miserable!! Don't stay here! Go somewhere else! Terrible!

Cottage was standard, but on first night the AC went out and it was unbelievably hot. I reported it and maintenance told us we froze the AC up. However, this was not the case. The following day after a miserable night I reported the AC a second time and they replaced it. Front desk staff, Tammy and Ashley were very personable and helpful. The new AC made a huge difference and we were able to sleep comfortably.
