Galveston Seaside ResortRental Guest Reviews

Awesome stay

Discolsure: if you do not get a “signature suite” room then my review will not be helpful. Those are the ONLY rooms located in the new building on the beach. The other rooms are in older buildings across the road far from the beach. Only signature suites have access to the amazing Infiniti pool pic you see on the website. From all of my research almost every bad review comes from the older other rooms, and all the amazing reviews come from the signature suites. They are going to try and talk you into a time share when you first get there......just say you are NOT INTERESTED. don’t say you’re tired or don’t have time because they will follow up and try later. It’s not an annoyance if you understand it’s coming. My check in was very fast. We were so surprised by this stay. We usually stay at hotels known to be in a higher class then Holiday Inn (no offense). So we found this to be a great hidden gem! The Infiniti pool and view was so awesome. We have stayed at a bunch of hotels on the beach but none as close as this one. I loved how it never felt crowded. I hope you keep access to that pool only for guests at the signature suites! You just have to add outside showers to wash your feet off!!! Such a simple thing that I could not believe you did not have. Pool works for kids because it has a shallow area and a bench around the entire pool. Staff was great. Bartenders were super friendly. No ice machines but you can just take your ice chest to the bar tenders and ask them to fill it with ice. Loved the atmosphere. Room was great! You will NOT be disappointed in the rooms. So big and nice and for that price......felt like a steal. We stayed at room 108 and it was the best location! It was on the same floor as the pool so I could just hop the fence and walk to pool instead of going around. Ask for that room! ESP if you have kids. Trust me.

IHG Seaside Resort

The Seaside Resort was wonderful. We’ve also loved going to Piney Shores, Lake of the Woods, and the main Flint location. I wish we could book further in advance though.

Amazing

The staff went out of their way to treat us like royalty.

could have been great ,but ......

Would have been great if the air conditioner worked or we had been offered a different room . Called 3 time for a/c and had to change out the unit on our last day . room didn't get below 78 until 9 pm the night before check out .

Extremely Comfortable Bed

Best night sleep I’ve had in a while! The location is excellent if you have access to the waterfront rooms, if not you’re stuck across the street. Become a Spire member, it’s worth it.

Friendly as long as you are already an owner

The facility was great. Amazing pillows, tons of electric outlets. Wonder fridge and washer/dryer. Pool could use some up keep. Staff was wonderful as long as they knew who we were in advance. Initiallyy, all guests were created with contempt- yes- “why are you here bothering me/ you’re probably not even supposed to be on this side” attitude. Once our names were checked to verify we were in fact owners- the red carpet was rolled out. Not at all like Orange Lake. A couple on a tour, couldn’t wait to leave the resort- stayed they had no interest in purchasing once being treated so badly. They said they had previously heard great things about the vacation club. The staff need to learn hospitality to all, not just owners (after they ahave been identified as owners).

Best place in Galveston

My Family and I love this place. We are making this our beach place forever

Signature experience was great

Loved our experience on the Signature side of this property. I can't speak to the other side, but poor reviews on other sites led me to believe there's a stark contrast in the experiences, because what we experienced was lovely, clean, convenient and really wonderful. My only complaints were poor crib/crib linen quality, and the on-site restaurant doesn't open early enough for breakfast. If we were staying longer, we would have brought more food for the villa, which had a wonderfully stocked kitchen, and then I could have made breakfast! Pool, beach, room, etc were otherwise all fantastic. Loved our stay.

Great experience

We love the convenience of the beach within walking distance to hotel and the amazing infinity pool. We will stay in the signature villas every time!

Don't waste your time

Property is out dated and not well maintained. Definitely needs a makeover and severe attention in cleaning.
