Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"Location"

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"We stay here at least twice a year. Sometimes on the club 10 floor, sometimes random king or double queen rooms. Everything is always maintained nicely but the only "gripe" is the shower doors never close all the way. We end up needed extra towels to keep the floor dry. That's literally the only thing I can think of to complain about, everything is top notch!"

Holiday Inn Club Vacations Galveston Seaside Resort by IHG

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay because the villa was spacious, comfortable, and accommodated our family well. The property was nice, and we appreciated many of the amenities. However, there were a few disappointing issues. The floors were not clean when we arrived. My 8-month-old niece was crawling around, and within minutes her hands, feet, and knees were black from the dirt on the floor. We called the front desk and were told someone would come clean them, but no one arrived that evening. The following morning, management quickly corrected the issue by sending housekeeping to thoroughly clean the floors. They also apologized for the inconvenience and provided us with a credit to use at the on-site market, which we truly appreciated. Their efforts to make things right did not go unnoticed. Another disappointment was that the listing photos were misleading. One of the main reasons we booked was because the pictures made it appear that the property had an infinity pool. After arriving, we found out the infinity pool actually belongs to the resort across the street and is not available to guests staying here. The photos should more clearly distinguish which amenities belong to this property. Despite these issues, we had a great trip and appreciated the staff’s willingness to resolve the housekeeping concern. I hope the listing is updated to better reflect the property’s actual amenities so future guests know exactly what to expect."

Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Here’s a polished 5-star review you can post: ★★★★★ Our stay at the Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection was absolutely exceptional and one of the highlights of our vacation in Galveston. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beauty and elegance of this historic hotel. The property is immaculately maintained, blending timeless charm with modern luxury. Every member of the staff we encountered was friendly, professional, and committed to providing outstanding service. The food was truly first-class. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, making dining at the resort an experience in itself. The fitness center exceeded my expectations. It was clean, spacious, and equipped with everything needed for a great workout while traveling. The pool area was simply luxurious. It was the perfect place to relax, with comfortable seating, beautiful surroundings, and an atmosphere that made it feel like a true resort getaway. If you’re planning a trip to Galveston and want a hotel that combines history, luxury, outstanding amenities, and exceptional service, I highly recommend the Grand Galvez Resort. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning on our next visit to Galveston."
