El Constante 104

This place was great!! The view in the morning was unparalleled and, added bonus, it was enjoyed after sleeping in a super comfortable bed! My boyfriend has been struggling with sleep and he got the three best night's sleep he has in awhile! Also, you've got easy access to al the restaurants and shops you could desire.

We had an excellent experience at El Constante. It was our first trip to Padre and we had zero complaints except maybe that we couldn’t stay longer. Staff was great, condo was clean and had everything we’d been led to expect.

- Daniel M. from Norman, Posted: 08/12/2022

Thank you so much for your wonder review! It was a joy hosting your very first stay in this area, Padre Escapes style! We look forward to hosting another stay, hopefully much longer next time (;

The staff at El Constante and at Padre Escapes are always awesome!!! The rooms facing the water (all of them) need to be updated. The furniture is dirty. The overall property is always clean and well kept. The maintenance person (Blonde hair male) keeps everything so clean. He works very hard.

Thank you so very much for the shout-out, Jennifer! :) We're very happy you enjoyed your stay and certainly appreciate your feedback. I've shared your feedback with our team. We welcome you back any time and hope to see you again soon. Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

The overall property was clean, secure and well maintained. Unit 104, where we stayed, was clean but worn. It is right on the beach with a great view. The furniture in the main living space was decent. The mattress is horrible. It was obviously old and so soft that the whole thing bowed when anyone laid on it. The TV in the living room runs on a Roku, which was signed out so never worked. Also, the kitchen had a really random assortment of glassware. We bought coffee mugs and left them there because there weren’t any mugs that were not literally the size of soup bowls. I would recommend the condo property but not that unit.

We greatly appreciate your feedback, Emily. Please rest assured that these issues have been reported to the proper team members, as to be resolved in a timely manner. Of course, mattresses are subject to a wide array of preference, so it is a bit more challenging to find one that suits each person. We do hope to see you back in the future and encourage you to give us a call for future booking needs so that we can find you the perfect fit. Thanks again for your feedback and for your kind words about El Constante.

Thank you! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay in this ocean front property! We can't wait to host you again!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

My husband and I loved our stay here. The view is perfect. We could enjoy the ocean from both the comfort of the living room and walking down several yards to the beach. We had other family members with children staying in other rooms there and they enjoyed the pool. Everyone loved their stay here.

- Alicia N. from Del Rio, Posted: 06/24/2022

Great to hear, hope we see you back again soon.

Padre Island is a wonderful low key getaway. Just beach, warm water,sea breezes and dune grass with good restaurants nearby and without the feeling of a tourist trap. After having been in 100 degree heat in San Antonio, this was heaven. El Constante has well maintained rooms and a very nice pool for reasonable prices. Looking forward to staying here again.

- Ted O. from Alameda, Posted: 06/11/2022

Thank you for the feedback, hope you come back again soon.

El Constante is a great property, we stay here every visit. This trip we stayed in unit 104 for the first time and we were not pleased. The bed was horrible and felt like it was falling apart. We did not sleep well the entire visit. The dining table and chairs were very cheap plastic and not even level. This unit needs updating for sure. So I recommend El Constante but not unit 104

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 04/19/2022

Thank you for returning to El Constante all these years! We truly appreciate you! This owner is working on replacing the table and chairs soon! We hope to see you soon.

Good

- Randy R. from Corpus Christi , Posted: 04/13/2022

Thank you for your sweet word! See you soon!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

The location is great as you can sit and watch the waves of the ocean, the hang gliders, the vehicles on the beach, and the sun bathers. The furnishings of the condo need to be updated as they are not the most comfortable.

- Anonymous from Georgetown, Posted: 11/16/2021

Glad to hear you enjoyed the awesome beach view from your unit! We were surprised to learn you found the furniture outdated as the owner has updated much of their furnishings, but we will relay the message. Thank you for your feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We had a very enjoyable stay. The convenience to access on the beach and the pool was outstanding. Watching the sun rise from the porch was worth getting up to see each morning.

- Wade L. from indianapolis, Posted: 11/07/2021

We are happy you were able to enjoy the direct beach access from our property! We hope to see you back soon, the beach will be waiting!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

El Constante 104 was perfect for a couple for a few days. A very nice little condo that faces the beach and Gulf. Though the weather was less than ideal, a little windy and warm until a rain shower cooled the day off nicely. It's a very nice condo for a getaway to the Gulf coast. The unit was clean and the property management is top notch. We stayed at the El Constante before, though not this particular unit and would stay again for a longer stay! Plenty of good local restaurants to get your seafood fix as well as a fully equipped kitchen to eat in if you prefer to stay put. Great location for walks on the beach and dips into the Gulf.

Thank you for taking the time to post such a great review of our property. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at El Constante! Please reach out to us directly so we may offer you a returning guest discount on your next trip. We hope to see you soon!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

The unit has an awesome view and the experience with Padre Escapes is always great. The unit could use some updating. There is no coastal decor and the bed is very uncomfortable. I know the unit is probably rented a lot because of the view, but I would think a little decor would be nice to help justify the price.

- Colleen O. from Missouri City, Posted: 07/03/2021

Thank you for the feedback, we will relay this to the owner. Hope to see you again!

Had a perfect getaway from busy life. Unit location on ground floor was perfect, close to beach and pool

- Mary H. from Helotes, Posted: 06/07/2021

We are glad you got to slow down and enjoy the relaxed "island life". We hope to see you again soon!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Our getaway was perfect. Our condo was clean, nicely decorated and steps from the beach and pool. We will definitely book again!

- Rose Ann C. from Corpus Christi, Posted: 05/03/2021

We appreciate the awesome feedback, we look forward to hosting another perfect beach getaway!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Stayed at this property in April 2021. Weather didn't cooperate (cool, windy, some rain) but bad weather at the beach beats good weather at work any day. Condo was well equipped. Bed very comfy if you like soft. Very nice of management to provide some cleaning products, which lasted through our stay. Management very friendly and helpful. Other visitors very friendly. Condo backs up to pool; a little noise from kiddos during the day but not disruptive. Sofa could have used a couple of throw pillows. Beach is spotless and beach drivers very respectful of noise and trash ordinances. Appreciated the heated pool. Overall, would gladly return. The view can't be beat!

- Anonymous from NEVADA, Posted: 04/23/2021

That beachfront view cant be beat, rain or shine! We hope to see you again soon for a hopefully sunny beachfront getaway!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We loved our time in 104! Beachfront is definitely the way to go. We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the waves and the gulls. Walking to the beach is super easy

- John R. from Azle, Posted: 04/15/2021

We loved having you! Our beachfront units offer the best that North Padre has to offer and we are glad you enjoyed your time with us.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

The location is absolutely perfect. The complex is in well maintained and the staff friendly. The condo itself, however, could use a good cleaning as the shower was full of mold and the kitchen sink was dirty.

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 04/06/2021

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will have our housekeepers address this immediately. We hope to see again for another beachfront vacation at El Constante!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

AMAZING!!!!

Thank you for the rave review, we hope to see you again for another 5 star stay at El Constante!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Thoroughly enjoyed our time as just a getaway from being confined due to the virus. Didn’t do much but just relaxed watching the swimmers, surf gliders, walkers, and our walks on the beach. We had a perfect view.

- Anonymous from Georgetown, Posted: 11/21/2020

The staff, pool and ocean view were great. But it stops there. We could not enjoy sitting out because the people next to us were smoking. The beach has two people playing loud music. The dining chairs were not stable and felt like you were going to fall as well as being hard as a rock and uncomfortable. The A/C vents were all rusted. Whoever put the shower together must have been drunk. The bathroom sink and kitchen sink faucets were loose and not marked for hot/cold water as well as the shower faucet. The bed was very soft. No rugs on the hard floor. No way to wipe off your feet before getting in bed. Front patio not swept off--but I swept it off. Furniture old and outdated. Not enough dishes for four people. Had to call in someone to fix the TV. Should have been checked before we arrived. Door to hard to open. In a fire we would burn to death before getting out.

- David S. from Poteet, Posted: 11/14/2020

Super location with an awesome beach view. Loved waking up and having coffee outside steps from the beach. North padre is a gem. Not too busy but just enough action like watching kite surfers in the afternoon. Condo had everything we needed.

- Anonymous , Posted: 11/04/2020

Great location and the room stayed in had great ocean views. If any problems with anything the management and staff very helpful and there to make sure things were okay and we were okay with everything. Can’t wait to go to Padre again and stay at El Constante.

- Rosa g. from Beaumont, Posted: 11/03/2020

We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to having you again.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We have stayed numerous times at El Constante and have always loved the perfect beachfront location. The access to the beach from the beachfront rooms can't be beat. Unfortunately, our room was not as luxurious. We have stayed in the unit many times before, but the wear and tear is certainly showing now. The shutters in the front had multiple leaves broken-hanging off, could not be turned the right way, thus making it impossible to block the harsh morning sunlight. The furniture is also worn - the cloth couch and chair have seen better days. Some relatives of ours stayed at the condo property next door and our jaws just dropped in the difference in quality and care. We will be staying at the property next door next time, even though we love everything else about El Constante.

- Vanessa C. from San antonio, Posted: 10/26/2020

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will relay this information to the owner and get these issues addressed. We hope to see you again soon.

Had a great time. Location was the best. Room was a little dated but clean and in great shape shutters needed repair on front windows

My family began coming to stay at El Constante in the early 90’s. I’ve continued the tradition. Many things have changed over the years, but I’d like to review a few things. Our frustration was primarily with the particular room.

Property: Many updates to general property. Clean. Great location. Consider toning down pool lighting for those with bedrooms facing the pool.

Room: Poor condition. Visited in May 2020 and stayed in the same room. Room 104 had shutters that were busted that hadn’t been fixed. No curtains on bedroom windows, Fenway Park-esque pool lighting made it nearly impossible to sleep without our improvising. Dishes and utensils were a mess. We had 1 spoon.

Staff: Office staff was very nice.

Misc: Room was NOT clean at all when we arrived. Toothpaste was still caked on bathroom countertop. We brought our own cleaning materials. Kitchen countertop had a layer of something brown that we cleaned off. Room smelled awful upon arrival. Considering everything going on, this room cleanliness was unacceptable for pre-COVID. Not that it can be helped, but first floor can hear everything on 2nd floor, especially 10m sprint Olympic trials going on above us until 10pm.

We still enjoyed our stay, but we did not get what we paid for. Recommend the property, but not the room. Someone needs to give 104 some attention.

- Christopher P. from Lillian, Posted: 10/11/2020

Thank you for the feedback, we are working with the owner and the HOA to address your concerns.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Room not ready, painters still working, furniture very loose and flimsy, all glassware dusty., Deck chairs broken.
Shutters were broken, and not able to properly function.
Bugs !!

- Emilio G. from San Antonio, Posted: 10/02/2020

The property was just coming out of construction and should have been better. We have since addressed it. We apologize for the issue and we appreciate your feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Amazing view, great location, nice pool. The inside...not so much. There must have been a leak near the air conditioning unit that is being ignored. There was mold and mildew completely surrounding that area and into the bathroom. We even saw mushrooms growing out of the baseboard right outside the bathroom! It was disgusting. The smell was overwhelming, especially upon arrival. Just had an overall dirty feel. We enjoyed the property and location, but would never stay in this unit again...maybe other units are better maintained?

- Anonymous from spring, Posted: 07/24/2020

That is an exaggeration of the issues but thank you for reporting, this issue has been addressed.

Excellent location and nice condo. Aside from the bed, everything else was great!

- Anonymous from Alamo Heights, Posted: 07/18/2020

The pros are you are right on the water, right there! No driving to the beach, it was so nice to go back and have lunch at the condo, The kitchen is updated, and bathroom. The cons, the shower glass had a lot of build up on it, and mold in the shower, dust on the walls in the living room. We got in late at night, and the door was open and sand was already everywhere in the condo. We were immediately hit with a mildew or mold smell, but that may come because it's right on the water. We called the next day, and they offered to come clean, but it was a Saturday, and we wanted to go to the beach, the staff was very nice and apologetic. The bed was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed cooking our own meals, it was well stocked with stuff. It needed some dish soap, if you want to hand wash some stuff. You can't beat being on right on the water. We would stay here again, but maybe not this unit because, the mildew smell never went away the whole time we were there.

- Kara A. from GOLDTHWAITE, Posted: 07/08/2020

My sister and I usually do a cruise and then a road trip, but with the C-19 Virus and sister being HighRisk due to surgery we opted to stay closer to home this year. 104 is ocean facing where we could sit on the porch or inside and just watch the beauty of the ocean and watching all the kids playing in the sand and water was great. The location of this condo is great!

- Vicki A. from Leander, Posted: 06/25/2020

such a cute condo, right on the beach! we were able to safely distance from the crowds and still have a front row seat on the patio. and we LOVED the comfy mattress, what a nice treat!! the office was nice enough to bring us some ice cube trays when we called. it was my birthday trip, and everything was just perfect!!

- Gerard J. from Bastrop, Posted: 06/25/2020

The condo was very clean, the staff friendly, and the check-in and out very easy and fast. Perfect little condo for 2 - 4 people.

- Anonymous from Missouri City, Posted: 03/13/2020

Our overall experience at El Constante was mixed and could have been better. The location of this property is fabulous; beautiful beach front with awesome sand and views. Neighboring guests were friendly and cordial. Overall, the unit was clean and orderly.

Our displeasure is that we were NEVER made aware there was major construction and renovation taking place on the property. It was noisy and disruptive in addition to the fact a portion of the pool was closed off. Further, the construction workers were less than professional and were able to gawk at guests in the pool. Just creepy. Minimally, we could have been offered a discount for our inconvenience. Not only was that not offered, we were NEVER informed of the construction before we arrived. This was very poorly handled.

When we stopped at the office to discuss our concerns, we were met with complete disregard. The owners of this unit should know their property management staff is not making tangible effort to earn positive, repeat stay equity from their guests. As a result, we are very unlikely to return to this otherwise very beautiful spot!

- Rob K. from Dunnellon, Posted: 12/10/2019

We appreciate your feedback but for almost a full year before the construction started we had the following posted to every property at El Constante: STARTING ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2019 AND LASTING UNTIL EARLY JANUARY 2020 OUR BEACHSIDE BUILDING (units 108-128 & 210-231) WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. CONSTRUCTION IS FACTORED INTO THE CURRENT PRICING; NO ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS WILL BE APPLIED. I'm not sure how we could make it any more clear.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We had been told to look past the remodeling going on when we pulled up and yes you can see the construction, however even that is being handled very clean and orderly. Our rental #104 was clean and top notch we were immediately emerged in the relaxation that comes from sitting outside being absorbed by the gulf waves. Like a child opening a present the lurer of getting our feet wet and walking long stretches of the beach continuously called us morning noon and night. This was everything our friends had told us about concerning this gem and swinging the sofa towards the windows provided the same pleasure for hours on end as we found a laid back enjoyable break from the world’s noise replaced by the waves.

Wow Dave, thanks for the wonderful review. We hope to see you back again soon.

During a storm the second night of our stay, a window on our car got smashed by a flying object. They arranged for a company to come repair the window first thing in the morning, and the next day had their maintenance man vacuum up leftover glass inside. Only issue was the bed was a bit saggy, my husband tried sleeping on the hide-a-bed the last night, it was broken but he was able to put the mattress on the floor to use it. Super location and wonderful people there to assist you!

- Anonymous from Lake Oswego, Posted: 11/16/2019

Fabulous location and very nicely updated. Would definitely consider staying again. Only complaint is that the bed was extremely soft and not comfortable. Maybe needs to be replaced.

- Anonymous from Hutto, Posted: 10/26/2019

Our vacation stay is always awesome here. We stay several times a year and all the condos are beautifully maintained and homey!

- Mary B. from San Antonio, Posted: 10/21/2019

The condo is located directly on the beach, and it is literally only 7 or 8 steps down from the sidewalk to the sand. The condo was great - clean, seemed like the decor was new, kitchen was well-stocked and appliances current. The staff was friendly. The pool and all the grounds were clean and seemed well-kept. The condo was stocked with soap, towels, paper towels, all the stuff we needed for our short stay. There is nothing negative I can say about the room or our visit there. So excellent that we are already planning our next trip!

- Vanessa C. from San antonio, Posted: 10/14/2019

We all enjoyed our stay at this condo and will definitely use it again in the future.

Okay, for the cost I expected a nicer place. The view and the sound of the waves made my stay worth it.

We loved how close it was to the beach , very clean, the people in the office were awesome, even came to help reprogram the tv for us!!!

- Stacie R. from Lubbock, Posted: 07/05/2019

This condo is beachfront and on a corner so there’s only one shared wall and of course there was a condo above us. It sounded like a herd of elephants were staying above us. I think they had about 12 people staying in a 2 bedroom condo.
Everything else about the condo was great. Newly decorated, clean and well-stocked with supplies. The pool was great and you can’t beat the view from the front porch to the beach.
All was great as long as you planned on staying up late because the herd upstairs ran back and forth through the condo until about midnight every night.

- Kelli C. from Boerne, Posted: 07/03/2019

Location is wonderful...right on the beach. Condo was clean and comfortable. Nautical themed décor was nice except for the RED dining set which didn't go with the blue, white, aqua colors.

- Dolores S. , Posted: 05/18/2019

Relaxing!

- Mary Beth T. from Naperville , Posted: 04/01/2019

My children and I stayed at El Constante during March 2019. The room was wonderful. The view was amazing. The front office workers were so nice. Everything was awesome. Great pool... love the washer and dryers. We love this place. I won’t stay anywhere else.
