The Palms Resort 3616 Gulf Boulevard, South Padre Island, TX 78597

"Can't beat the location on the beach. Quaint motel-cute rooms, well maintained-would definitely stay here again-cant beat the beach feel here-lived hearing & seeing the waves...location is nice quiet and great for walking or riding bicycle Clean neighborhood"

"We have eaten at the Palm’s Cafe for many years and love it because it is on the gulf side with a beach entrance right. This made it so nice to walk out of my hotel room and stroll down the beach for awhile. Front desk customers service upon arrival was amazing and friendly. Check out was quick and easy and I would highly recommend especially if you have dogs. There is a small kitchen, sleeper sofa and queen size bed. Plenty of room for a family of 4 and pet. Will definitely escape away again to the Palms Resort."

"The Cafe on the Beach is a wonderful spot with an ocean breeze, some covered and uncovered outdoor seating, very solid service, and excellent food and drinks. Everything on the menu is good."

"The room overall was decent. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was Awesome. The water did taste funky, but just used it to brush our teeth. I think that the water tasting is common on the island because it smelled bad even in the different restaurants. The kitchenette was good the bigger refrigerator was awesome. We would sit outside our room and visit with people coming and going to restaurant or the people staying at the Palms, and we met many awesome people and made some new life long friends and met some people from back home. The restaurant had great food. Overall stay was good till we killed 4 cockroaches on 2 separate days."

"Stayed here with teenagers and dog in October. Our queen room was dated, but clean. The restaurant has really good food and overlooks the gulf. The location is perfect- walk 20 steps right to the beach from the front door. It's one block east of the main drag so not too much traffic, and it is on the bike path that runs almost the entire length of town. It's totally old school, and a really great value. It reminds me of coming to the island in the 70's and 80's. We really liked it here. We'll be back."
