Delicious Mahi Mahi

I ordered Mahi Mahi during my stay, and despite some previous reviews, mine was expertly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The seasoning was just right, making it a good seafood experience. I loved the quality of the dish, truly a highlight of my dining experience here.

United States of America, January 2025

6.6/10

I had a rather mixed experience at this hotel. While the location right by the beach is a big plus, and the indoor pool area was enjoyable, it seems the hotel is struggling with maintenance and cleanliness. My room was clean, but I was disappointed that there was no breakfast included, which I expected given the price we paid.

Rooms

7.0

The room was clean but somewhat outdated, and it got a bit hot at night, requiring a fan for comfort.

Service

6.0

While some staff members were attentive and happy to help, I did encounter a few who seemed somewhat inexperienced and didn't handle situations well.

Location

8.0

The hotel is in a prime location right on the beach, but it does sit near a less desirable area of Corpus Christi.

Dining

5.0

Dining options within the hotel were pretty basic, and we were hoping for more variety, especially since breakfast wasn’t included.
