We've rented at this location before but in an other unit. We found the unit clean, the staff was helpful and the location was good with views of the Gulf and beach. The main complaint is that the bed and bedding were subpar as were the towels. Would rent from El Constante again but not unit 103.

Best time ever

The rentals here are amazing. We won’t stay anywhere else

- Mary B. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/29/2018

Our unit was beach front on the first floor and the beach was not crowded and clean (October). The furnishings were not fancy, but they were neat and clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. The exterior of the property could use a freshening up and an overall updating.
Our primary issue with the rental was that the internet did not work. We could connect for a few seconds and that was it. I would recommend this place if you do not need to access the internet while you are there.

We were very pleased with our unit. The owner provided excellent customer service. We loved being right on the beach.

Nice room and view. A little bit expensive but not outrageous compared to other places in the area. The room itself was cozy & cute but bit dated, however they are in the process of remodeling the outside (not sure if they are going to remodel in inside - it could use it). No washer and dryer in the room as implied. Oven door handle broke off and my wife burned herself while cooking (freak accident i guess). And there was no can opener even after I called in advance to make sure there was one so we didn't take ours. They did have one in the office i used. Also washer and dryer available (coin-op) near office as well. Overall we had a great time and would go again.

I've never been to South Padre--I had always spent childhood stays in North Padre so continued the tradition--but I've heard it said that if you aren't sure where you'd like to spend your vacation, North Padre tends to be quieter and more affordable. We went just before peak season began--something that was risky given weather was just starting to warm up--but we were pleased overall with how that turned out. Going off-season helped us to be able to maximize our time there. We loved our beach front condo at El Constante. It was cozy, well-kept, well-stocked, and even some of the materials which Padre Escapes said El Constante might not replenish, such as towels or bedding, the management said they could do so as needed without us even asking. Having a kitchenette helped us save because we could eat in most of the time, and while the kitchenware was VERY basic, it served well. The WiFi was fine as long as there weren't high winds, and we had no issues with the fridge or AC. The bed wasn't the most comfortable ever, but it still did just fine. Convenience--the laundry room is open at all times and contains multiple washers/dryers. We brought our own quarters, but the office also said you can make change with them to get quarters if you run out. Bring your own laundry soap; we did a small packet of tide pods to keep things cleaner and more portable. The hot tub definitely seemed not to be heating properly, which was a tad disconcerting on the first night when it was in the 50s. No matter--we were there to spend most of our time in or near the ocean. The office also closes somewhat early; if you have a long drive, either leave early in the morning or split your commute over two days to get there in time. The staff were perhaps less than friendly at times over the phone when calling to confirm reservation details, but in person, they were stellar. They gave helpful and accurate information in a prompt manner and made sure we knew they'd be there if we needed anything.

First time staying here and loved it. We were in unit #103 and it was very clean, decorated nice and the location/view is amazing. Walk out your front door and you are only steps to the boardwalk and then the beach. The complex is undergoing a big facelift and will look great when it is done!

- Kevin V. from GLADSTONE, Posted: 03/24/2018

I was very pleased with the location and general condition of the property. I do think they should be aware that the coffee pot in my room had leaking issues and should be replaced. That was a minor inconvenience during an otherwise lovely stay!

- Lisa D. from Smithville, Posted: 01/02/2018

We've stayed at this property multiple times over the last 10 years and we are always pleased with our stay. We were impressed with the improvements that were made to the units. The kitchen in this particular unit (103) was new and nice. Steps from the beach and perfect location. The pool is fantastic too. Highly recommend!

- Russel P. from San Antonio, Posted: 06/23/2018

A wonderful place to stay right on the beach

- michael b. from PORTLAND, Posted: 03/27/2019

Perfect

- Timothy S. from San Antonio, Posted: 06/02/2018

Except for the weather, our stay was great. We always stay in the same unit . It is clean. We love the view. The office help are always accommodating. The owner is extremely helpful.

There was no hot water in the kitchen sink.
The dishwasher was falling out of the cabinet.
The refrigerator made very loud noise when the compressor turned on probably because it was old.
The bright outside lights made it difficult to sleep in both rooms.

Thank you for the feedback, hope we see you back again soon.

The location is great. Excellent view and access to the beach. Clean unit and decorated nice. Definitely recommended!

- Kevin V. from GLADSTONE, Posted: 03/27/2019

Well decorated. It appears to be freshly remodeled. Beautiful view out the front windows We really enjoyes sitting on the front porch evening/night. Just like being on the beach but just a lot more comfy.

Our stay at El Constante was the perfect staycation spot.
The room had a clean inviting beach theme that put you in the mood to relax and enjoy your time spent there. The employees greeted us with warm and friendly smiles. They were very helpful in every way. We would definitely return and enjoy the spectacular view of the beach and accommodations.

- Diana M. from Corpus Christi, Posted: 11/10/2018

We loved the view from this vacation rental! Our condo was clean, yet a little outdated. Could use a new microwave because our microwave was rusted on the inside. We loved that this condo is located directly in front of the beach. You can't beat the view. The pool was also really great! We saw them cleaning the pool every morning. We loved the facilities!

- Alicia G. from Louisville, Posted: 09/11/2018

We have already reserved the same property for next
spring.

- Frank F. from San Antonio, Posted: 11/25/2018

Great to hear, we look forward to having you back again soon!

we could not find a place in Port A this was the closed we could get, should have stayed home.

- David W. from Belton, Posted: 11/14/2018

Well we're certainly disappointed to hear that it did not meet your expectations. I do believe the weather was pretty cold and wet during your stay so I am sure that can put a damper on things. We hope you come back and try us another time. Thank you for the feedback.

Overall an enjoyable stay. I still think the property management team has quite a bit of room for improvement though.

The good: Location, location, location. It cannot be beat. Easy check in. Pleasant staff. Most rooms have been upgraded to a certain degree.

Needs to improve: Light outside bedroom in pool area shines into bedroom ALL night. Need better curtains. For guests staying on second floor, there needs to be some sort of notice about stomping around. The kid above us was doing wind sprints for the better part of 2 hours starting at 0600. While rooms have been updated in some aspects, bathroom fixtures look the same as they did during my stays in the 90’s. Shower head had no pressure.

Good size condo for 2 people. Views and distance to the beach, could not be matched. With construction in the pool area, it was a bit messy, but staff did their best to keep it up. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. The mildew, mold smell was extremely strong. Made the condo feel not quite clean.
LWondering why the overhead fans are not left on? When we owned in Port A we were required to keep the fans on 24/7. Need at least one cookie sheet, and maybe a tray, pitcher for drinks? Major issue discovered the last day was dishwasher was not secured to the cabinet or floor. When I pulled out the filled top rack, the whole dishwasher fell forward. I reported this to the office. A small child could be greatly injured.
Staff very accommodating, friendly. Love the free beach towels.

Our families have been getting together at El Constante for many years. We like the location and have always enjoyed our stay. This was my first time in 103. Blue is my favorite color, so I liked the decor. The condo was clean & staff courteous. See you next year.
