Top Dolphin and Nature Research Center Hotel Reviews

La Copa Inn Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Crean room"

Padre South Hotel On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was amazing the staff were very nice, security guards onsite was very polite and helpful. The room were nice and cozy and clean. Beach view was amazing love it. The walk to beach was 2min. The only thing I can say I dislike was the beach access from the pool area the cactus on the side of walk way. I was afraid of one of the kids falling on it. U sink into sand and u can loose ur balance and fall to either side on the walk way onto the cactus. But we only use that entrance once. The other enterances to beach were a lot better and not far from hotel. I would be booking again in the future."

Port Isla Inn

8/10 Good

"As reviewed by others it was very clean. No access to the lobby and check in was done through the night window (5PM).The kitchenette was very nice but lacking a few essentials to use them. No dishes, pots, silverware, or cups were provided. A coffeemaker was there but no coffee or other fixings. Asked at the lobby about coffee and they said no longer provided and referred me to a grocery store nearby. Full size refrigerator was nice but no icemaker or ice trays. No ice bucket was provided and I did not look for any ice machines. Nice beds and TV although a lot of issues with channel availability. Ironing board, iron, and hair dryer present. Overall a good value, but wishing I had brought some additional supplies."
