Clean and nicely updated unit; friendly staff
The unit was clean and updated, and the padre escapes staff were very friendly and helpful! I’ve been staying here for over 30 years, since childhood, and it still has that same relaxed feel. Word of note: much of the gulf side view condos are being renovated which cuts off your access to the beach. This was only a minor inconvenience (I was more annoyed with the port a potty blocking the view). The construction crews were courteous and weren’t disruptive. The people who live upstairs are extremely heavy walkers however, and like to get an early start. This was the biggest issue, which I understand there really isn’t anything to do about it. I just have never noticed this in other units. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back. The unit itself was clean to our standards and had everything we needed. We loved being able to utilize the beach wagon!

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay. Construction is getting wrapped up in late March or early April 2021.

Good enough accommodations. Could have been warned about construction on adjacent unit earlier than 3 hours before arrival. Attention to clean up from construction minimal(insulation and other materials regularly blowing into the pool, etc.)

Everyone was extremely nice and helpful, the place was clean, and it was easy to get to the beach. It was not too small and not too big. Perfect for 2 people to have a get away!

Over all condo was great. I do feel like cleaning could be a little better but not a major thing. Condo had everything we needed and we loved it. Can not wait to return.

We staid 3 nights but wish we could have had more time. The condo is updated and has all you would need for meals there and only a short walk from the beach and pool. We would definitely come back and stay again at El Constante 128K.

We were looking for clean, quiet, close to the beach and this is what we found!

Had a great time. Problems figuring out the television. You used to have directions in each unit describing use. Each unit is different. No regular drinking glasses in this unit.

It was a great experience. My family and I enjoy staying at El Constante. It’s always clean and the staff are always helpful.

We stayed in two different rooms at El Constante and preferred this one, even though it was farther from the beach. Sadly, the island lost power about an hour after we checked in and didn't come back on until midnight, so it's hard to fully judge the place given our circumstances. All that said, the apartment was clean, I liked the pull-down shades, the bathroom was nicely appointed, and the bed was comfortable. I would recommend it. The exterior of the building was old, however, and needs repairs.

Thank you for the feedback. They'll start working on the exterior of the building the day after Labor Day.

I would recommend because it was a very clean up-to-date and spacious rental. Check in and out was easy as well!

We stayed in this condo from May 23rd to May 31st. We’ve stayed at ElConstante several times over the years. This was the first time we opt’d to chose a room at the end of the condo. We usually stay in 208 and have also stayed in 118 before. Overall it was a nice clean (minus the sand) condo. The bed was soft(not firm). We loved the updated shower and high tub. We had to call PadreEscapes and ask the to bring some baking pans, which they brought right away. We did not like that we did not have any panty space for our weeks worth of groceries. Panty was locked. The people upstairs were very heavy walkers and loud. The AC unit for upstairs was even louder and right next to the bedroom window. It kept us up and woke us up every night. Ended up taking several naps on the couch after not sleeping well in the bedroom.

We apologize for these inconveniences. The owner did have additional insulation added the ceiling. Not something we've really heard much on since then but we'll check it out and see if anything can be done. Thank you for the feedback.

The rental process was very easy. The condo itself was nice and comfortable. However, the coffee maker needed instructions as we tried everything we knew and still couldn’t get it to work properly. The condo was a very easy walk to the beach and it was very quiet!

The emails and text from Padre Escapes made everything so simple from check in to check out. The staff at our condos were extremely nice and helpful as well.

This one room condo was in the most perfect location! If you're looking for something within walking distance to the beach/gulf, this is it. You can hear the sound of the waves from the front door. The condo inside looked brand new, there weren't too many amenities inside, but a quick trip over the causeway (about 20 mins) to HEB I filled the fridge/freezer (if you drink coffee, need to go buy it!), and bought kleenex and extra paper towels. There are many great local eateries, desserts and was even close to Schlitterbahn for their weekend brunch. The property is going thru a lot of remodel/building, but that didn't interfere with my stay what-so-ever. The office staff is friendly, helpful and I will definitely keep this location in mind for any future trips.

Awesome to hear you enjoyed your stay! Unfortunately TX state law does not allows for us to leave any food products between stays but as you mentioned HEB is just a quick trip over the bridge and you're fully stocked. Hope we see you back again soon. Thank you for the feedback.

location was good but the bed sheets did not fit and as such I ended up sleeping partial on sheets and partially on the. mattress. I would thus not wish to stay here again. Also the TV remotes only worked after one of the employees came and spent about 40 minutes trying different things, connecting and disconnecting cable. Hearing footsteps on the unit above was also not to my likings.I was also surprised that a dog was allowed in the jacuzzi.
- Tom N. from San Antonio, Posted: 11/27/2018
We hate to hear your disappointing experience. Pets are certainly not allowed in the hot tub. We'll also look into the sheets issue. It sounds like the cable went out temporarily but we will check on the TV remote setup to see if something needs fixed. Thank you for your feedback.

I would request this unit again. I could see & hear the ocean from the porch. The unit has beautiful finishes with quartz counter tops. It was a perfect vacation!

Thank you for your feedback. We look forward to having you back again soon.

It was awesome!

Not bad. Room was great. Weather was not so good. We can't blame the room for the weather though. Loved the lamp. Wish I knew what kind it is.
