El Constante 122

One Small Problem
We stay at El Constante a lot and have stayed in many many units. Unit 122 is a great unit-huge tvs, great kitchen with amenities, comfortable bed, relaxing shower head with nice water pressure. There was one problem—the bedroom at night is lit up like it’s daytime. There is a super bright light outside the bedroom window and the plastic blinds do not block out the light. I would wake up at 2 am thinking it was morning. We had to go to CVS to buy some eye masks. Now that we know the issue, if we stay in this one again, we’ll make sure to pack our eye masks.

Top marks on every aspect of our stay except for one concern. We were never able to turn the top lock on our door to it’s locked position. Other than that, we had a great stay.

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 11/02/2021

Thank you for making us aware, we had our maintenance team readjust that lock and it is now functioning properly. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us overall! Please keep us in mind should you visit the area again.

My son and I were on Padre Island for a family gathering for my mom's birthday. El Constantine is perfectly located. We were 10 minutes from her home, a few seconds from the beach, and near many wonderful restaurants. The condo was impeccably clean when we arrived. Furniture was comfortable, and bed was GREAT! My only issue was that the parking lot facing bedroom window only had flimsy mini blinds. It did not feel private, and parking lot lights meant the room never got dark, which affected sleep. I would recommend blackout curtains. That was our ONLY issue. Everything else was great!

Happy belated birthday to your mom from all of us here at El Constante! Thank you for choosing our location for such a special event. We will look into those blinds mentioned, thank you for letting us know. We hope you all had a memorable birthday celebration and keep us in mind for next year!

The location on North padre is convenient. The condos and complex are older but this one had some updates and was comfortable. We loved the beach view side. The pool was OK but not special and we preferred the ocean. The bed was comfortable and loved that they gave us pillow choices. The sofa and chair were also comfortable and shower head was great. We wish they would have provided a few beach chairs to take to the beach. It is very disappointing that they do not provide more towels and washclothes and also that they don't provide the basics in the kitchen like salt, pepper, and sugar and also don't provide you with some coffee or even the filters.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us overall. We do not supply any condiments or coffee filters due to cross contamination and do make you aware in the signed rental agreement before your arrival. Hope to see back soon.

The unit looked nice online but upon opening the door there was a strong, unpleasant smell. Even my kids said "eww this smells!" every time we entered the unit. The management did ozone the unit, but we then had to be out of the unit for 2.5 hours. It helped some but needed to be done again.
There was also hair on the mattress protector of the pull out bed. There were also hairs when I unpacked the clean, plastic wrapped sheets for the couch bed. There were also hairs on the master bed.
The sink also had this black build up around the whole upper area that looked like black mold or mildew.
Less important, there was dry wall damage that looked like water damage.
The smell of the unit was a huge deterrent and we wont book this unit again.
When speaking with management, I did ask for some money back for the issues and discomfort, but they did not agree to this. They did offer a discount for a later stay, but again, we will not be returning here.
Overall the unit was ok-ish.

Our family of four had a great stay. The unit was very clean. Very comfortable king size bed in the room. My kids slept very comfortable on the sofa bed. Plenty of towels, linens and basic supplies. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. Great swimming pool! We felt very welcomed at our arrival. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks for making this our best trip to the beach yet!

Had a wonderful time in this property. The most pleasant surprise, how comfortable the pull out bed was in the main room. I have never this before but it had a air mattress for the bed that came with a small pump. Most comfortable pull out bed I have ever slept on. Hats off to this property.

This cozy condo was exactly as described. Very serene feel, relaxing, homey. It was also nicely updated. The heated saltwater pool was wonderful, and the hot tub was very nice too, but needed a little bit of cleaning. The only complaint about the interior was the shower head was a little hard to use lol, but Im really nitpicking here. Overall a great stay.

We have recently changed pool companies and are having our pool and spa serviced twice a day. We are happy to hear you experienced the home away from home feeling with us!

Great location & price. Enjoyed our weekend!!

- Annalisa M. from Alice , Posted: 05/13/2020

Ad described this unit as being updated. Some of it was. Bedroom window blind was in poor condition. People walking by could see right in. Did not filter out any light. Had to buy cardboard to put in window. Living room ceiling appeared to have mold. Outlet arched. Coffee pot quit. Dusty replacement hot plate didn't work. Gave up. Kitchen cabinets should have been replaced when changing countertops. Unit was musty smelling.

We apologize for these inconveniences, we will be sure to address them with the owner as soon as possible.

Was clean. The parking Iight was shining in the bedroom window though. Was a little bright when wanting to sleep at night. We wanted complete gulf view, but know we have to call in advance.

- Matt M. from Stockdale, Posted: 08/05/2019

We had a lovely experience in a wonderfully quite and peaceful atmosphere. Looking to book again next year.

- Linda K. from Silsbee, Posted: 04/24/2019

THE WORST MATTRESS IN THE WORLD. I ended up sleeping on the couch because the mattress was so old and worn and the springs woke us up every time we moved. I never once had a full nights rest because of this. We picked the room on line but didn't think they would have a mattress left over from 1922. The room had a smell we believe was mildew. As far as the staff, they were very nice. The location is nice but if you rent here do not choose room 122. I would have given this place 5 stars but because I never had even one night of descent sleep I will rate it a 3.

- shannon s. from Eagle River, Posted: 01/24/2019

Thank you for your feedback. As of February 2019 the owner has replaced the mattress.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We always enjoy our stay at the El Constante. The property is well maintained and the pool is heated. Management was helpful and attentive to our needs. Unit 122 has an updated kitchen and bath but really needs a new bed. Overall stay was great with the exception of the bed, uncomfortable and noisy. We will stay in the El Constante again but in a different unit.

Beautiful sunny walks on the beach with our coffee begin every day at El Constante! The practical first floor condo was well equipt except for the bed. The box springs were so noisy we pulled the mattress off onto the floor to get some sleep! But very helpful management reported the issue and the owner will deal with it ASAP. They also offered us a different unit. If they fix the bed situation we would stay here again unless one of the beachfront units was available.

Cozy condo right by the beach. Only complaint is the bed and sofa bed were both loud and uncomfortable.

Very clean, updated unit. I didn't have ANY issues at all. Nice open layout. Easy access to beach and pool even with 2 babies. We forgot a couple of items INCLUDING my 2 year old's teddy bear. I called the office and whoever cleaned the room took it took tje office. They had it and mailed it back to us! Lifesaver!!

- Margaret F. from San Antonio, Posted: 07/17/2018

My family had an amazing stay at El Constante. It was the first time we stayed there and we were pleasantly surprised. We could only budget for 2 nights. But asked if there was another room available to stay a 3rd night. The front office was very helpful and accommodating. Even giving us a discount fir staying a third night. We loved the pool and how close the property was to the beach. We stayed in room 122 the first 2 nights. Only gripe was that the bed was horrible. It felt like a box spring. But third night was incredible. 299. It was spacious and beautiful. We will definitely be back and try to stay in room 299.

After hurricane Harvey destroyed my roof, I chose to stay at ElConstante Condominium while my repairs are being done. What a wonderful experience During a difficult time in my life! Beautiful beach and dune views, but the best part of this stay was the friendly staff are so kind and courteous and understanding. I can’t say enough great things about this place! This became my personal escape from Harvey’s Havoc!

- Sheila G. from Laredo, Posted: 12/03/2017

Room great, bed could’ve been better, sink didn’t drain very well.. overall godo

Very comfortable and inviting! The location is perfect. Staff was helpful.

- Michael C. from Fort Worth, Posted: 08/09/2017

We booked this condo last minute and it was perfect for our lil family! The location was great, especially with two kiddos under 3 as we were able to walk to the beach. The pool is wonderful. El Constante provides pool towels and will refresh them as often as you'd like. Our room was comfortable with the exception of a super creaky queen bed but overall spacious enough for us.

- Jason W. from Seadrift, Posted: 08/08/2017

We have been coming to El Constante for Memorial Day week end for the last 10 or so years. We love the location, and the 122 unit has been nicely updated.
