    Stayed 12/30/25 - 1/3/26 One of the best reviews I've heard was from a man and his wife sitting next to us at the Grotto (I have no idea who the man was). We struck up a conversation and during the conversation we were talking about the Resort and how happy we were with the staff and how they made us feel happy and welcome. He went onto say that he and his wife are care givers to their oldest daughter who suffers from a mental disease and requires constant attention. Their little stay at the Hotel was their get away. He said it "gave them time to feel like a married couple again even for the short 3 days they were there". That has to be the highest compliment ever made about a Hotel. Well done Management and Staff for making all of us feel at home.

    The San Luis Resort and Conference Center in Galveston, Texas, is probably one of the nicer hotels and resorts along the Gulf Coast. The property is extensive and features a massive swimming pool with a swim-up bar and plenty of seating around the pool. The gas lanterns at night create a romantic, Hawaiian-like ambiance. The hotel boasts numerous excellent restaurants and bars, ensuring there’s no shortage of food or drinks. The lobby and public spaces are meticulously designed, absolutely beautiful, and well-maintained. While the guest rooms are somewhat dated and could use some updates, overall, this resort stands out for a town that isn’t known for five-star accommodations or high standards. It’s conveniently located directly across from the beach, making it easy to access and walk along the beach strip for shopping and other activities. I was impressed for the most part and would definitely return if I find myself in this area again, which isn’t very often. In fact, this was my first time visiting Galveston, and I live in Dallas. The hotel staff were all exceptionally friendly. Oh! I stayed on the 10th floor, which is designated as a VIP floor featuring oceanfront views and balconies, exclusively for adults—no children are allowed on this floor. This is a nice perk if you’re traveling without kids. The amenities also include in-room breakfast for two, valet parking, and complimentary water, fruit, candies, and snacks in the private lobby area on the 10th floor. Solid 4 stars- could be a solid five if they updated the rooms they’re kind of dated

    Lovely Xmas brunch. Excellent food, ambience, and location. Walking along the seawall after eating relaxes and refreshes.

    Absolutely gorgeous resort, location is fabulous. Right across the street from the beach. Christmas time, the lobby is stunning! Couple bad things and why I only gave it 3 stars, hard time finding parking with the g p s on first time visit. No microwave in the king bedroom. No fan in the bathroom. Fridge wasn't cold enough and there's no freezer and no hot water when you're in the shower. Hot tub wasn't working either. Very disappointed because we had an ocean view for 2 days but it was foggy, not the resorts fault but maybe give a discount?
