“relaxing and fun”

The staff was number 1. They were friendly, helpful and wanted to do what they could to make your stay fabulous. The room was supplied daily with water and fresh towels. We overlooked the pool and ocean and enjoyed that too. It was an awesome experience.

“Paradise in Paradise SPI 2024”

Great laid back resort playing JB music, other country and old rock classics. Superior staff made our 3 week staff easy. I suggest a junior suite or bigger for long stays.

Great laid back resort playing JB music, other country and old rock classics. Superior staff made our 3 week staff easy. I suggest a junior suite or bigger for long stays. Views are incredible from both sides of the hotel. Easy access to beach. Really nice pool. Pet Friendly was what we needed. Great Cappuccino and Lattes at Joe Merchants. Easy walk to some great restaurants, Landshark in the hotel, Russos New York or Sea Ranch. The atmosphere has an island touch. Other asset is you can see the sun rise on the beach and walk across the street and see the sunset. Enjoy.

First and foremost, I'm writing this as a short-term Winter Texan who's been to this property many times prior when it was called The Pearl. This stay was by far the BEST ive had at this, the upgrades to the property, service, and overall atmophere was noticeable the minute we pulled up to the front door. We did not use the valet, but the valet was always very friendly when we walked by. Check-in and check out were easy and quick with no issues. Our 2-bedroom condo was perfect for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 older teenagers) and had everything we needed. As winter Texans, housekeeping was not needed as this to us is condo life, and we clean up as if it's our own place. The few times we required toilet paper or dish soap the front desk was quick to provide There was still some minor work going on on our floor, and the workers were nothing but nice and never made us feel like we were in their way when we walked by. The main pool is heated, and every sunny day was spent by it and resulted in days where we didn't leave the property. On days that were hot, the bar was open, and a bartender was around to get your orders. Autumn was amazing and deserves a 5 star review herself. If the bar wasn't open (which is normal on SPI during off-season as Texas is known for having 3 seasons in 1 week at times in Jan and Feb), bartenders from inside made rounds. One thing I would like to see is a no saving chairs policy as I often saw many people putting towels on chairs in the morning and not going down to the pool until till later in the afternoon. In all the years I have stayed here I have never spent as much time in the restaurant as we did this time. The food was great and the music was always enjoyable. One of the main misconceptions I read from other reviews is that the resort didn't add up to expectations (mainly in the off-season). SPI as an island is a resort in itself, and to get that resort feel you have to leave the resort. The free shuttle for the island has a stop right at the end of the driveway and stops at all the things children and adults will enjoy off the property. This property is also about a 45-minute walk to the entertainment district and extremely safe to walk. My only disappointment was not being able to secure my Winter Texan stay for next year when I left, it would be nice if they gave us 1st pick on dates for the condos for the following winter.
