El Constante 117

We loved the location of the condo, but the bed is old, extremely firm and uncomfortable. It is very noisy, so hard not to wake the other person in the bed when moving. Any decent memory foam mattress purchased from Amazon would be better.

Thank you for your review, we are always looking to evolve and improve the guest experience, so we truly value your feedback and will share it with the owner.

It was a pleasant stay in a main level unit that was a short walk to the beach and pool. The bed was comfortable, there were enough dishes to make some good meals, and the best was the location facing the dunes/beach.

Sounds like you had a blast! It was a pleasure hosting you and we look forward to your next visit!

The room was really nice, really need to have renters with dogs and kids stay on the bottom floor. That was the hardest part of sleeping was all the noise they made sounded like furniture was being moved. Other than trying to sleep the room was nice and AC worked great. The pool was nice beach was even better, would like it if the drive on the beach wasn't right in front of the condominium. We had kids and people drive to fast on the sand. Never saw security, people at the pool not wearing bands and kids unattended jumping off the dolphin statue. Kitchen needs more appliances.

Thank you for your feedback, Magda! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay overall. We are unable to locate renters in accordance with their age and/or pet ownership status, except for with regard to which units might be pet friendly. We are also not able to control the speed of vehicles driving on the beach, though we understand the concern. We apologize that this caused an issue during your stay and we do hope that you will return to stay with us again in the future. Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

We booked last minute for a quick weekend getaway. It was clean and convenient to the beach.

- Lisa G. from San Antonio, Posted: 06/07/2022

Last minute getaways are always the most fun! We are happy to hear we were able to accommodate you all! See you next time!

We really like the area but won't stay in this room again. There was glass (a lot) in the floor of the pantry, kitchen anad we found some in the living area the next day. The bed was brick hard - we managed by taking the sofa bed mattress out and placed it on top of the bed mattress. The bathroom sink did not drain well.

We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy this unit as much as we would've liked you to. Padre Escapes does send an inspector by after the cleaner to ensure it is up to par. I will get with their supervisors as glass should have been picked up. Please note for the future to make us aware of the mentioned issues and we will try out best to make it right. Thank you and we hope to host you again.

Good for 2 people. Pull out sofa/couch is very uncomfortable for an extra guest. Location is very nice, close to beach.

- Anonymous from Nobel, Posted: 11/26/2021

We will check not that sleeper sofa, thank you for the feedback. We are glad you enjoyed our convenient beachfront location! Hope to see you back again soon.

Everything was great except the front door needs some serious work had to slam it to get it closed.

- George L. from Whitesboro, Posted: 10/27/2021

It looks like we were able to get that door realigned shortly after your departure, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Hope to see you back soon!

Great location, clean and neat condo. I would only make one suggestion to the owners get a new box spring and mattress, the bed is comfy but the box spring creaks when you roll over.

- kimberly a. from Baytown , Posted: 10/06/2021

We had our maintenance team address that box spring, thank you for reporting this upon departure. It was a pleasure to have you!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Overall the location and convenience to the beach from the room is great, the kitchen is also fully functional but the sofa bed was not functional - So the management gave us a rollaway - But it was too small and the mattress was very uncomfortable and squeaky - The springs hurt my back and I did not have a good sleep. The queen bed mattress in the bedroom was also super squeaky and uncomfortable - We have an 18 month old and every time I twisted or turned the baby woke up due to the noise. so I moved to the sofa and then the rollaway but I wasn't able to sleep well on both the nights

- Ankur S. from Cedar Park, Posted: 08/31/2021

Thank you for the feedback. We do apologize about the issues you experienced during your stay, I will be sure to relay the mentioned items to the owner of this unit.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Very nice and clean. The only thing is that our pillows were worn out and the mattress needs to be replaced the bed made squeaking noises. It was hard to get comfortable the mattress was very lumpy. I would recommend as long as the mattress issues get fixed.

- Margarita L. from San Antonio , Posted: 08/27/2021

Thank you for sharing your experience with us during your stay. We will have the mattress looked at and will get with the owner if replacement is needed. Please contact us directly in the future should you return to the area so we can assist you in finding a unit with a comfier bed.

Property was right on the beach with easy and quick access to the beach from the property and from the public beach access road which is right next to the property. The layout of the rental was perfect for a small family and included all the essentials needed for a stay. The property was clean upon check-in and the staff was very kind and welcoming. The kitchen was fully stocked with all you need- functional kitchen. Extra blankets, pillows, and sheets were in the rental and the decor and furniture in the rental were accommodating and quaint. Our biggest issue was the very thin ceiling walls and the pull-out couch being broken and extremely uncomfortable to sleep on (for an adult). The thin ceilings made it very difficult to enjoy being inside the rental property. Unfortunately we had inconsiderate upstairs neighbors who stomped, ran up and down the hall, moved furniture, slammed items on the floor and let their children stomp through all hours of the day and even late into the night (past quiet hours - until 2 am!). Thankfully we spent the majority of the day at the beach and didn't have to deal with the noise but at night it made it very difficult for my 6 and 9 year old daughters to fall asleep (thank God for our sound machine on full blast). I suggested a new pull-out couch because you feel the frame while sleeping on top of the thin mattress and the end of the bed would lean up with any pressure put towards the head of the bed. Overall, its a very cute and clean property, but just a toss up of whether you will have considerate quiet upstairs neighbors. We look forward to return to the El Constante but trying a different property unit (upstairs).

Thank you for the feedback. We will work on addressing that sleeper sofa with the property owner.

We enjoyed our stay in the home, very clean, the beach was very close. The pool was a plus to have right around the corner!

This was our first time renting with Padre Escapes and it was such a great experience! The room was updated, bright, and clean. Everyone in the office was so helpful and kind. We will definitely be visiting again and have already recommended this property to friends and family!

- Brenda G. from San Antonio, Posted: 05/11/2021

We are happy you enjoyed your first visit with us and we look forward to many more wonderful stays here at El Constante!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Awesome. I know there was work being done so I was prepared to walk a ways to unload and load my truck. Workers were pleasant and did not bother me with their working. #117 was the One Bedroom - Dune Side - Perfect walk to the boardwalk, beach, and pool. I have stayed many times but will request this unit each time I book. Inside was beautiful and well supplied. Only praises for this unit and the staff!

- Glenda C. from San Antonio , Posted: 02/11/2021

Thank you for the awesome feedback, Glenda! We hope to see you back soon.

Arrived without a reservation and was able to get the rental without difficulty. Enjoyed our stay. There was construction going on for one of the days we were there and parking in front of our unit was limited on that day. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

- Lillian C. from Harker Heights, Posted: 10/22/2020

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! We hope to see you again.

It was one call or text after another from the day of check in until check out. We were on vacation not wanting to babysit a telephone and if there was no response another call or text was sent. Paperwork all done via computer on day of, more paperwork in the morning. We got in at 3AM and calls were coming in at 8AM about additional paperwork. Check out was at 11 at 8AM calls started again. We inquired about an additional night night which would have been 4 nights that unit was not available but another one was but it would require a 2 night minimum even though we had already been there 3. Forget it!!! We gave someone else our money. Vacation is vacation and for me it is without daily contact on a cell phone. I feel like this system needs to be revised.

- Jennifer G. from TX, Posted: 10/20/2020

So close to the beach! Very clean. Great pool. Can’t wait to return.

We had a great stay at El Constante. The condo was very well equipped for our stay and was clean. The location is awesome and the proximity to the ocean was fantastic. Our only compliant was the bed was a little hard and could have been a higher quality. We will definitely be returning to this area!

- Anonymous from Cleburne, Posted: 08/18/2020

It could have been much better if the management team at Padre Escapes had been been willing to move my young family and I to a room that had electricity after power was restored for most of the building. It was very, very hot and humid and my family did not sleep the first day, night, or next day. There were units with power that were available but nobody was onsite to confirm that they were not, in fact, damaged. Consequently, other little amenities such as clean bath towels, were unavailable, too. The location for El Constante was great, room 117 was wonderfully decorated and worked for our family, but the lack of electricity was unbearable and completely avoidable. I'm fairly certain that it was just an administrative chore that they did not want to do, and it actually didn't matter what the cause was, they didn't do it. Moving us two doors down would have changed our whole experience.

- Doug W. from Austin, Posted: 08/03/2020

Overall a good place to stay. Unit was very clean and good size. Bathroom had it’s issues. Toilet was leaking and shower head was busted. Apparently it was not important enough to fix till the next day. Units are old so you can hear every step your upstairs neighbor takes. I would definitely recommend this condo.

- Xavier G. from Del Rio, Posted: 07/18/2020

Our unit was clean and nicely decorated. Everything was in working order. The bed was comfortable. I wish the chairs on our front porch had been more comfortable as I really love to sit outside in the morning to drink my coffee. I was surprised that the TV had Netflix and other streaming services available as well as good WiFi...nice touch!

- Lisa O. from College Station, Posted: 06/22/2020

Very clean and newly renovated (different from the photos) we absolutely had a great stay here! Right on the beach. The pool was very nice and the kids had a blast. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and appliances. We can't wait to go back and we would definitely stay in this unit again!

The room was beautiful. The ocean view was amazing. And the staff was great. Love it there and have been coming for over 10 years.

- Bonnie R. from Robstown, Posted: 07/09/2019

Nice place on the beach, priced right, very enjoyable.

- Cliff v. from Buda, Posted: 07/06/2019

Overall it was nice. Right on the beach. Well stocked kitchen. Management was very responsive. They do need to fix some wall outlets. Not all of them work. Also clean or replace shower liner. There is black mold on it. WI-FI kept going out.

- Anonymous from Round Rock, Posted: 09/14/2018

We have been coming to this location for several years now. The location is perfect with the beach directly in front and location close to neat places to stop in to eat or drink. The units are stocked with necessary items for your stay and overall the furniture is nice and decorations pleasing. The units are spacious and there is a main pool that is close to the ocean view and offers an outside shower area to rinse feet etc. On this trip; however, the little tropical bushes in front of the lower levels were being cut down to the ground, and replaced with rocks. Very unattractive and exposes the front porch to people walking by. The plants were said to have a fungus and that they were drying slowly. They removed all the brushes and were not replaced- just cut to the ground. Rocks... The unit this time smelled of cleanser; however the tub area and floor tile in the corner was not as clean as it has been in the past, the carpet was not very clean nor under it and the shower rod was old with some corrosion- in need of replacement... The outdoor chairs were an upgrade and a nice touch!

- Thomas M. from Bastrop, Posted: 08/25/2018

We had a great time. Neither of us had been on a vacation in years (post divorce) and we really looked forward to our stay. we were not disappointed. the kitchen was perfect for the two of us and was equipped with all the cooking utensils that we needed. even coffee filters and some tupperware that the previous tenants had left behind to pay it forward i guess. will definitely do this again.

- Thomas E. from Austin, Posted: 08/21/2018

Condo was great and inviting. Really enjoyed the condonsince it gave you the feel of staying at home and not in a hotel room.

- Chisolm C. from Georgetown, Posted: 07/28/2018

Nice room

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 07/24/2018

We always go to Port Aransas and decided to try this location from a referral from a friend. The room itself was spacious and in great shape. The location is awesome... Right next to the beach. The only complaints we had were that the other people staying brought trailers with golf carts and took up all the parking. We went out to eat, took a drive on the beach and caught a movie... By the time we got back it was 1 AM. There was no parking whatsoever. We circled the parking lot three times, and counted 10 spots filled with golf carts and trailers. I spoke to the front desk the next morning and they said that there are regulations to where they have to park trailers and ATVs at another location. Upon checking in, they said that they have nighttime security, it just looks like they would have enforced the rules a little more.

We had friends stay at El Constante and recommended the place. I liked that a staff member texted me that our room was ready before 4pm also easy check out. We really enjoyed the stay and would also recommend. Very clean and friendly staff. I would definitely go back.

- Rosie C. from San Antonio, Posted: 07/10/2018

Great!! Would definitely stay again. Would definitely recommend Staying here!

- Cynthia D. from san antonio, Posted: 06/19/2018

Room was beautiful and immaculate. The owners thought of ever little detail such as mirror placement, rugs, scissors, extra blankets that are so soft, tables, etc. Staff was amazing! Will defiantly return. Great location.

- JEANIE A. from Thrall, Posted: 04/24/2018

We always wanted to
see the Padre area,and El Constante looked great online. After Hurricane Harvey, many nearby hotels were either closed or under reconstruction, but El Constante was in great shape, and improving the courtyard area with new gates and pool deck. A beautifully heated pool and adjacent hot tub, oceanfront...close to the Bob Hall Pier, National Seashore, wonderful restaurants, stores and Catholic church too. The staff, especially Samantha, Christy and Larry were so friendly and happy to answer questions or just take time to tell us about our unit and the area. I want to thank them for their kindness and professionalism! Our condo was excellent, being on the ground floor made it easy for my husband having a walking disability. Extra's in the unit like toiletries, extra towels, pillows, blankets were provided including daily beach towel rentals. We enjoyed a relaxing vacation without spring break noise at an affordable price. In the future, we plan on securing a 2 bedroom,3 bathroom, two story oceanfront condo to spend time with the grandchildren!

I would come back.

- Paul L. from Cincinnati, Posted: 03/25/2018

My wife and I enjoy this location. We have fun visiting the beaches. This is the first time there was some confusion and delay at check-in. I knew there was a problem when the first words from the desk clerk at check-in was "unfortunately your room hasn't been checked." We had to wait outside the room. Did not get offered to wait in office area with cool AC. Otherwise the room was great.
