Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island
Everything was good and decent especially when you have good state troopers around making sure everything is good and in order. The vent in the bathrooms doesn’t appear to be working and breakfast prices were a bit high. Other than that everything was great.

Under construction but we were made aware before we arrived. Staff was super nice and helpful. Room was clean and breakfast was good. Loved that we got our waffles and didn’t even have to make them ourselves!
