El Constante 204

The location of El Constante is great; just a short walk to the beach. The room, bedding etc. was clean however we were extremely disappointed in the overall poor condition of the unit. Broken
patio chair, sofa bed in terrible shape(mattress inclined or declined-never flat). Slanted floor and protruding tiles which caused guests to trip numerous times.

Was not able to check in till 630 pm. Was told the cleaners were working hard. I work hard too to be able to have a vacation there. Location is great room 204 was ok. Not worth the money. Tiles loose counter top falling apart. Cables for tv could be cleaned up and look more presentable. The pool area with all the partying got out of hand. Came in late one night and security officer hanging out with all them. Felt sorry for the pool guy the next day.

I will be sure to notify each of the respective departments regarding these items so that they may be addressed promptly.

We love staying at this location. The only problem I have with the entire complex is that the A/C does not blow well in the upstairs where the bedrooms are. Our place was nice. This place needs blackout curtains and the 2nd bedroom needs a new curtain. This unit only has one small couch and the tile is cracking in many places downstairs. Otherwise it was clean, decorated nice, T.V. and eating area were good. Wonderful view of the beach. The cracking tile on the floor is not safe on bare feet.

The unit wasn't up to El Constante standards. the carpets were stained, the couch was slumped in the middle and the cute sideless chairs were not relaxing. We did enjoy our stay, and being right o the beach.
I picked this unit because of the twin beds. I think this unit got heavy use with children.

- Shirley F. from Grove, Posted: 04/15/2022

Thank you for your feedback! We will investigate the mentioned items. We are glad you enjoyed being near the beach and we hope to host you again!

Myself and 2 other lady friends needed a break from routine of life, husbands, kids, etc, and we chose El Constante 204 for its spaceioness for all of us and the direct access to White Cap Beach and the Boardwalk on the Sea Wall. We were able to check in a bit early the first day and because so close to the beach, capitalized on the rest of the day. The Unit was well equipped, clean, spacious and had all the amenities we needed. The microwave went out while there but we called the office and they brought us a new one that day. We enjoyed all the balconies the most as we had views of the beach and the pool. Marvelous stay.

- Mary H. from Helotes, Posted: 10/29/2021

Many thanks for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We?re very happy to hear that you ladies enjoyed your girls trip and were able to resolve the microwave issue quickly!

Great place for a family vacation. Very spacious. However would be nice to have beach chairs and umbrella in the unit so you can use them at the beach. Overall we loved our stay and warm ocean in the middle of October! Can't wait to catch me back again.

- Maya M. from Highlands Ranch, Posted: 10/24/2021

Thank you for such a great review! We do have beach equipment rental information and flyers at the front office. Looking forward to hosting you again!

We have been coming to this place for 30 years and it is the best place to stay on Padre Island! Easy access to the beach and to the hot tub and pool. Very nice and clean!

- Tammy C. from Goldthwaite, Posted: 09/17/2021

Hello Tammy, thank you for your wonderful review! We appreciate your feedback and and look forward to your next visit with us.

The rental worked well. The dishwasher had mold in it and smelled terrible when it was running. Also the shower water pressure was very weak.

- Stephanie B. from Pueblo , Posted: 08/18/2021

We apologize for these oversights and will have our team address these immediately. Please let us know if there is ever anything we overlooked during your stay so we may address it in a timely matter for you. We hope to see you back again soon.

Thank you for your review, we will reach out to you directly to see how we can improve on your "ok" stay.

Great location. Parking close is hit and miss depending on the time of day. Difficult getting luggage and groceries to/from vehicle and upstairs with no elevators. Plenty of space of amenities. Unit was quiet and comfortable. Great views of the beach and pool. Nice to have keypads at gates and doors. Staff was awesome and helpful. Will stay here again.

- Michael E. from SAN ANGELO, Posted: 07/25/2021

Thank you for your feedback. We do have luggage carts on property to help you unload, they are located under the stairwell by the main pool gate should you ever need them. Look forward to seeing you again!

We enjoyed our Stay at the El Constante over all. the view was great beach access was easy, pool was clean and the property was well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint would be the furniture and carpet are really dated and the beds were very difficult to sleep on and the condo took a long time to cool down, We have back issues though so it might be comfy to someone else. Very family friendly. We would stay again.

- Anonymous from san antonio, Posted: 05/29/2021

We will check on those beds, thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your time with us overall!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Our stay was fine. The master bed uncomfortable, not sure of twins. The only other issue was the state of the kitchen cookware. Most were filthy with food stuck on them, pan so burnt couldn’t be used. We washed most and purchased a new frying pan for our use.

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 05/26/2021

Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention, we will have them addressed immediately. Please let us know next time you should need something in your unit as we have limited stock on property and would have been happy to have brought you a new frying pan and cookware. We appreciate your feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Nice unit in a great complex. Kitchen was well stocked and the furniture is more updated than the pics show. Everything in good shape expect the tile flooring made me squeamish about walking barefoot. Wonderful staff and the pool is the best on the island. Definitely would recommend and plan to revisit myself soon!

- Anonymous from Madison, Posted: 02/21/2021

Thank you for your feedback, we will look into the tile flooring. We look forward to hosting you again!

We had a great time at this condo on the beach. It was clean and comfortable. The heated pool was great for the grandkids. We were able to rent at the last minute, saving our visit with family.

- Melanee B. from East Grand Forks, Posted: 01/01/2020

Thank you Emily Wilson along with Savannah and Hayley. All of you went above and beyond to move us out of 210, which was not up to your standards. You make my husband's 55th birthday wonderful. Thank all of you again for offering the best customer service and willing to be there for your customers. We will be booking again thanks to all of you. You are the best and we appreciate it.!!!

- Michelle M. from Waco, Posted: 10/25/2019

Could not sleep in upstairs bedroom always hot, A/C did not cool the room.

- Anonymous from Ennis, Posted: 09/30/2019

We're working on addressing the AC issues by redirecting the ducts. Thank you for the feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Calm and relaxing. Need to make sure maintenance check repairs prior to guest arrival... master bedroom patio lock was not working. Overall great stay.

- Anonymous from Dallas, Posted: 09/23/2019

Glad we were able to take care of this for you during your stay. Thank you for your feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Nice few of water, very clean and well kept.
Bedrooms upstairs were very uncomfortable too hot
One room had a portable unit the other a box fan still too warm, we left at 11:30 pm the night before checkout..

- Minnie D. , Posted: 08/20/2019

We're certainly disappointed to hear you decided to leave early. We're working on getting this AC issue addressed.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

room 204, beach and pool views from balconies
twins beds very uncomfortable
rattan furniture in living area old and ratty
drain in bathtub very slow, needs maintenance
rest of unit satisfactory

- SANDRA R. from SAN ANTONIO, Posted: 07/15/2019

The downstairs toilet was constantly making sounds.
The upstairs bedrooms were hot even when the downstairs was very cold.
One bedroom had a cieling fan that helped but the other bedroom did not and the occupants were uncomfortable.
We liked the ocean view and the pool experience was great. Would stay there again if better cooling situation.

- Robert J. from Austin, Posted: 05/21/2019

Wonderful!! Love to stay here.

- Carlos L. from La Vernia, Posted: 11/27/2018

AC is very loud. Wicker furniture is not the most comfortable. Ceiling fans would have been nice in all rooms.

- Karen L. from Cedar Creek, Posted: 11/21/2018

Thank you for your feedback, we will check into your concerns and get them addressed.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Beach and pool are just steps away from unit. Ample space for four people, with 2.5 bathrooms.
Just before we arrived, the living room ceiling fan crashed down so we were without that. Check that it is replaced before you book.
Only one bedroom had a ceiling fan. Another one must be installed in second bedroom. Upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms are very hot with ineffective air conditioning. Blinds had to remain closed to try to rebuff heat.
Saying all that, the location alone makes this a good rental choice.

- Anonymous from Corpus Christi, Posted: 08/10/2018

Overall it was a good experience, but there were a number of glitches associated with our rental.
The A/C was not working properly on our arrival and one of the toilets, though reported as not working properly was never fixed while we were there. Fortunately there were 2 other toilets that worked upstairs.

- Eusebio P. from San Antonio, Posted: 07/03/2018

Padreescapes is a five star organization that is professionally set up in all regards ... this review is only for Unit 204 which we rented from 6-18-18 to 6-22-18.

Positive:
Best location of any of the units with perfect views of both the beach and pool.

Lots of everything with regard to linens, kitchen and bathroom supplies.

Great nightlight in the kitchen that made me smile every time I saw it.

A special shout out to the two custodian pros, Anthony and Larry, who were friendly and helpful for our entire stay!

Things Needing Improvement:

This is a big one ... the master bedroom does NOT have a queen bed, it is a double. We have physical limitations that resulted in one of us having to sleep on the floor (me).

The box fan does not work in the master bedroom and the upstairs AC can not keep up with the daytime temperatures(downstairs is just fine).

The patio doors and shades just don't work without a ton of "muscle". My wife opened the door to the downstairs patio while we were "beaching" and could not get back in ... we all laughed but she was mad about it. THE DOORS NEED TO BE FIXED PRONTO.

We had a good time but I will not come back until the unit has a queen bed as they advertise it is ... that is a big "con". Vr Tom a

- Amy B. from Brooklyn, Posted: 06/24/2018

Unit 204. Location and view fabulous as always. Unit itself adequate: Only half the blinds in the second bedroom, living room hide-a-bed couch shot and like sitting on wood, sliding door barely opens.

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 06/18/2018

Thank you for your feedback, we will use it to help imrpove the property for future guests.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

The only reason we rented this condo was because it had two twin beds that would accommodate our family of six. We knew going in that it was not an updated unit (which was fine). However, there were some issues that are easily fixed and would be inexpensive.
1. All of the toilets were not bolted down properly.
2. The vertical blinds in the rooms were missing about half of the slats, it would have been nice to sleep in without all of the sunlight coming through
3. The condo could have been cleaned better (wipe down all toilets, baseboards, and sweep throughout).
4. The WiFi and spectrum cable kept going out. My daughter wanted to watch movies at night, but couldn’t.
5. It is very hot upstairs, we had to purchase a fan to keep the boys sleeping comfortably at night
6. The vents in the condo are rusted and should be replaced.

The staff and maintenance crew were very friendly. Despite the issues, I would stay there again; just not in the same unit. Although, we wanted beachfront, those issues are enough to pick another room regardless of the view.

- Christina W. from San Antonio, Posted: 06/09/2018

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are working with the homeowners to update things and we will point out your concerns to housekeeping. Hope we see you back again soon.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

This condo has the most amazing view. Everything we wanted however the patio door off the living room needs to be replaced we could hardly get it opened and closed. The blinds in the bedrooms need to be replaced. It’s hot in the rooms upstairs and because all the blinds weren’t there you can’t block out the sun to keep the heat out. A ceiling fan in the pool side bdrm would help also All of the toilets were lose on the floor had to careful sitting on them. With all that being said it was still a wonderful place to stay. We just feel like with that kind of view this condo could use some maintenance work.

- Paula A. from Austin, Posted: 05/27/2018

We enjoyed our stay very much...The only issues we had were the toilets upstairs are not secure and wobble very badly...the sliding glass door off living area was very hard to open and close.

- Wendy B. from Rockport, Posted: 05/22/2018

Very affordable. Perfect location. Unit was clean and well stocked. Staff very friendly. A/C does NOT cool the upstairs bedroom AT ALL!

- Anonymous from Dallas, Posted: 05/02/2018

El Constante is the perfect getaway. The staff is so attentive and courteous. The new renovations are very nice. Our vacation tradition continues. Thank you!

- Robin A. from San Antonio, Posted: 10/17/2017

Wonderful, relaxing.

- Maria E. from Poteet, Posted: 09/06/2017

I have stayed on this property many times. There is a history of maintenance issues at this facility. This year I brought 23 family members to stay here. A couple of the rooms were unfit and had to be moved. My unit had several problems. AC capacity upstairs in 2 story units is the major issue. Secondarily we have maintenance issues nearly every time we have stayed where something is broken or not working properly. Unit 204 has poor cooling particularly in guest bedroom. The downstairs toilet would not refill and was unusable. Otherwise I would give the unit 4* because it's beach front and convenient. I would like to see a better job of packing the sand along the shore for drivability. Lot's of people were getting stuck despite that heavy equipment was there scraping sand.

- Michael R. from Cedar Park, Posted: 08/08/2017

We're working hard to get this units up to our normal standard. We just came on it May but we will get them there. Thank you for your feedback.
