El Constante 116

I wish I could give zero. Two broken twin beds. I fell down and they did nothing. Horrible place. Fake picture. It’s not beach facing. It’s sand dunes facing. People smoking everywhere. Unsafe.

We hate to hear you had such a disappointing experience. It's our understanding, from what you told us during your stay, that you pushed the two twin beds together and they came apart while you were sleeping and that's when you fell. We did check on you during your stay. This is a dunes facing property as the pictures accurately depict.

Well, they couldn't find my paperwork at the front and had to wait for it to be found. We got there and the beds were like metal like in a military barracks, and the apartment smelled like mildew. Your maintenance man the next day was helpful and put in a new filter and sprayed some stuff in it to help with smell, which it did. The front step was broke and the wood was rotting. And trying to get the cable to work each night we had to call office and someone very helpful was able to fix it (after an hour on the phone)whether it was in the bedroom or living room (oops and there was only one main remote) for 299.00 per night, I figured the accomadations would have been better.

We had a wonderful stay! The rental was very nice and clean. The beds were a little uncomfortable but we didn't go there to sleep. The easy walk to the beach was great! Most relaxing time we've had in a long time.

The apartment's location is great; it's steps from the beach. The kitchen has everything you need if you decide to cook. However, the apartment seems a bit worn. The fridge has rust spots on the front & side although the interior was clean. The toilet seat should be changed & the water runs off very slowly in the bath sink. I appreciated that there was dish soap & detergent for the dishwasher.

We love beach vacations. Our favorite locations are beachfront houses or condos where you can walk out the front door barefoot and the beach is right there a minute away. That's exactly why we chose this place. We were also trying to stay within a budget, and this place hit the spot.

As long as you set your expectations that this is a budget condo, you won't be disappointed. Keeping in mind the price range, the property was in good condition, the property was clean, and the few minutes we spent checking in at the office, the staff were kind and helpful.

The location was the only thing satisfactory with staying in this unit. The condo was in need of being updated from top to bottom. The refrigerator had rust stains on the outside. The oven had broken parts but probably useable. We decided upon arrival that we would not be cooking in. The place is worn out and not up to expectation even at reduced last minute pricing. Be aware. This building is old. Walls are thin. The upstairs occupants sounded like a gymnastic family that’s liked to also move furniture around. The shaking from upstairs sound like structure popping downstairs. Pieces of the ceiling were also falling off due to the current hammering with construction repairs outside. The whole place felt unclean and worn out. Dead roach in closet. I would not recommend this unit until renovated.

We apologize for the inconveniences you experienced. You were here during the middle of construction which is no reason for your stay not to be up to standard but unfortunately the construction can take a lot of our attention away from addressing issues like these. We will check up on the property and make any needed recommendations to the owner. Thank you again for the feedback.

It is way overpriced for what it is, especially being under construction. I could have gotten a two bedroom with queen size beds (as opposed to a one bedroom with twin beds) for the same price and cheaper. I almost could have stayed at Port Royal for the same price. I especially don't like that the total as I was making my decision said about $530 and then jumped to over $880 by the time I finished booking. That's ridiculous. I expect the fees when it shows a nightly rate, but don't put a "total" and then add a bunch of fees on top of it. The people on site were great. Love the beach towel exchange.

Very professional helpful and courteous! We enjoyed our stay and will return to rent one of the places facing the beach with patio. Thank you for making it so easy to enjoy a short family getaway.

We had a great time. LOVED the beach/pool towel exchange and the keypad on the door so no need to carry around a key at the beach.

- Julie H. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/18/2019

Wish we could have stayed longer, we will be back.

El Constante is a great tucked away spot for a quick vacay to the beach! The property is right on the beach and very quick access!

- Eric B. , Posted: 06/26/2019

I would book this unit again. Excellent bed and huge tv in living room. Loved the leather furniture. Great location. Short walk to beach. No complaints. Stayed a whole month. Great parking spot right outside door.

Our room was a a 2-3 minute walk to the water. We stayed on the 1rst floor and could here every step above us. The pool was great. The grassy area along the seawall was full sticker burs.

Clean condo and great location. Nice pool. Staff was amazing. Only thing that would change is be able to check in earlier, like around 2pm or earlier if the condo is ready (without extra cost).

This was the perfect little get away spot. This unit is close to the beach, as well as to the pool. It was comfortable for all of us, and definitely had that "home away from home" feel.

Condo 116 was lovely. Clean and well appointed. Please see review on condo 115 as we had to move from condo 203 due to air conditioning issues and unlivable conditions.

Stayed Mothers Day weekend. Upon arrival we were told we had been moved because on a burst water pipe. Wasn't too happy but they actually gave us a little upgrade ( beach view instead of dune view)which was nice. The only problem was the huge construction dumpster sitting in the parking lot block any beach view. Love how close the beach is. Overall great stay and great time!

- Penny M. from San Antonio, Posted: 05/31/2017

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. The construction dumpster has since been moved. Thank you for the feedback.
