The condo was clean and had a great view of the beach.

This was our 3rd stay at this location. Love this location but the condo is pretty run down. After seeing multiple other condos here, 210 is definitely outdated. We we also very disappointed the pool was shut down in April, that’s my favorite part.

- Tom K. from MAPLEGROVE, Posted: 04/18/2023

Thank you for your review and feedback, Tom! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay overall and that we were able to quickly assist you with anything needed. We apologize for the inconvenience of the pool being closed during April, but look forward to hosting you next year, with our newly renovated pool and hot tub! We look forward to seeing you again and thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

If you enjoy going to the beach El Constante is the only place to go. Walk from condo to beach & back is great-no loading and unloading vehicles

- Jimmy C. from Mountain Home, Posted: 10/10/2022

We're so happy to hear this is your designated vacation spot and we certainly do look forward to hosting you next time!

This was a very nice condo with great proximity to the ocean. I honestly have no complaints. The house was in tip top shape. The A/C worked great. Condo 210 was bigger than we needed with 3 balconies, three bathrooms, and two bedrooms (plus plenty of sleeping space in the living room). It was just me and my wife staying there but it was comparable in price to a small studio and the extra room was just a bonus.
The pool was clean and well kept, the hot tub was beautifully relaxing. Of course the ocean was awesome and we were half a mile from a jetty with excellent fishing and snorkeling. There were thousands of sea turtles you could swim with near the jetty and it was an awesome experience just be careful of the rip currents inside the channel. If you know how to deal with rip currents you'll be just fine (don't panic and swim perpendicular to said current).
Like I said, no complaints from me!

Padre Escapes strives for a five-star rating! Happy to hear we were able to meet and go beyond your expectations! Thank you for adding on that information about rip currents. This is extremely helpful so other guest can learn what to do if ever caught in one. We look forward to hosting another great stay!

El Constante is our favorite get away! It’s got everything for the whole family to enjoy. We love to watch the sunrise off the beach with our cup of coffee and take pictures. The Jetties are in walking distance as well. The rooms are comfortable and have great views! The booking and staff are awesome! We will be visiting a lot more often!!

- Margaret G. from San Antonio, Posted: 09/25/2022

Thank you so much for your raving review! It was a joy hosting you and your family! We are looking forward to hosting many more stays. See you soon!

We really enjoy El Constante and plan on making it an annual trip! Staff with Padre Escapes are always helpful and courteous. We love the easy access to the beach and pool. We stayed in an “ok” condo this past trip. We’ve had better. Updates needed. Bed was small, blinds need to be replaced with better ones and curtains especially for master bedroom where security lights keep the room too bright for good sleep. Appreciate the ”early check in” but found a cheese ball under a chair right as we walked in. Not a big deal, but makes me worry how clean the place really was.

- Rebecca S. from Austin, Posted: 07/29/2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are disappointed to hear about this and will be sure to address it going forward.

The location is great. The rental property is as described. The interior decor of this unit is very dated. The entire unit could use a deep cleaning and freshening. Not all burners on stovetop worked and it needed to be cleaned. The provided box fans were dirty. The washer/dryer was convenient. The beds were comfortable enough. Easy to check-in/out and exterior areas were clean.

- Anonymous from Austin, Posted: 07/28/2022

Thank you for your feedback, Shana. We are sorry to hear that your expectations were not met with your rental unit. We see that it was booked via our website through the property link. For a better fit in the future, please give our office a call if you have any reservations regarding the listed photos displayed in the online listing. Our helpful team is happy to assist you in finding the perfect getaway! We apologize as well about the stove. This is not our usual standard. We have notified the proper departments to address this as soon as possible. We would have gladly addressed it during your stay for you so that you regained use prior to check-out. Thank you again for the feedback and for choosing Padre Escapes; we welcome you back anytime!

Have stayed at El Constante for 25+ years. This is the first time our room was hot on the top floor. Had to use fans. The internet Wi-Fi did not work and one lady needed it to do critical work. They kept saying it was fixed but it kept going off.

- Kelly B. from Flatonia, Posted: 07/27/2022

Thank you very much for your feedback, Kelly! I see that you are a returning customer with us and we want you to know that we truly value your customer loyalty. I have notified the proper departments to address these items immediately. We apologize about the Wi-Fi. We would have been happy to address this for you a second time during your stay. Sometimes when these things are temporarily fixed, the cause for failure needs further troubleshooting, which we are more than happy to facilitate until the issue is made right. We certainly welcome you back anytime and we thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

Condo was located near the beach with easy access

- Anonymous from San Angelo, Posted: 07/17/2022

We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and certainly welcome you back anytime. Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes!

IT WAS GREAT OUR GRANDDAUGHTER IS 3 YEARS OLD SHE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AT THE POOL AND BEACH.

- Antonio S. from Laredo, Posted: 06/09/2022

Aww, we are happy to know your granddaughter enjoyed her visit!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

All the people who worked at El Constantine we’re amazing! We loved the location of our condo and it was clean. The condo itself is in need for some updating. Some of the blinds fell down every time we opened and closed them. The kitchen area could use some love too.

- Tom K. from MAPLEGROVE, Posted: 04/11/2022

Tom, we are going to miss you here at El Constante! Thank you for your kind words and we will relay the feedback to the owner. See you in the fall!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

It was a nice little get away. The rental property was nice, condo was roomy. The only complain I have is the upstairs was hot, the downstairs was nice and cool. It just seemed that it never quite cooled the upstairs.

- Claudia P. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/14/2021

We will have our maintenance team take a look at the third floor A/C vents to ensure they are open and cooling the third floor. Thank you for the feedback, we hope to see you again soon!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We had a very nice stay at the El Constante. We have stayed in this condo before so we sort of knew what to expect. We would come back. Front desk was wonderful!! Can’t say that enough! Property was clean! For the condo, no matter what the setting is for the thermostat, it is warm sleeping at night. The sofa bed is probably okay for young kids but not for an adult. It is uncomfortable. I was worried that I would break the handle on the microwave since it isn’t stable. Again, knowing this we would still come back.

- Anonymous from Round Rock, Posted: 06/10/2021

Thank you for the kind review! We will look into the microwave handle and the A/C, thank you for making us aware. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Overall stay was good . Condo was a little outdated. Coffee maker Definitely needs replacement

- Daniel L. from Plymouth, Posted: 05/20/2021

We are glad you enjoyed your time with us overall. We would have been happy to bring you a replacement coffee maker during your stay, please let us know in the future how we can improve your time with us during your stay. We hope to see you again!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Very good. We have stayed at this complex for years and have always enjoyed our stay.

- Anonymous from Center, Posted: 03/30/2021

Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes at El Constante year after year for your vacation! We are looking forward to hosting another great stay soon.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We had a great vacation at El Constantine. The staff there couldn’t have been more friendly and hard working. Our only complaint was that although the property was clean it was run down and is need of an update. We had to call service multiple times to repair things. The service people were great and responded right away.

- Tom K. from MAPLEGROVE, Posted: 03/26/2021

Thank you for your feedback Mr. Kripotos. Our HOA is currently working on property updates through the end of April to better improve our guests experience. We hope to see you again soon so you can experience our new and improved look.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Great location. Some repairs needed. Will stay again...

- Rodney L. from San Antonio, Posted: 12/25/2020

Thank you very much for your feedback. We look forward to having you back!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We had a very nice stay, the staff was very nice & professional. Our unit was nice and clean. We would definitely stay again & recommend to our friends and family!!

- Dora L. from Round Rock, Posted: 10/18/2020

No Elevator-with 6 of us, loads of stuff created multiple trips to unload & load for our stay walking up & down stairs with heavy coolers, bags, fishing equipment etc.
Upstairs bedrooms roasted while downstairs froze as AC is clearly not adequate for space.
Kitchen is not stocked well for cooking or eating-only 4 of flatware & plates-had to purchase paper plates & plastic flatware so we could all eat at the same time. Counter has multiple knife marks as the singular cutting board is tiny. Kitchen could use a refresh.
The place was clean and all sheets/towels were wrapped in plastic so we knew those were fresh. The office did allow us to gather fresh towels each day.
Wasn't terrible, but will not return to this location.

- Jane A. from Kyle, Posted: 10/08/2020

Thank you for your feedback, you are correct this property does not have an elevator. We haven't heard any other recent complaints on the AC but we will have it checked out and we will look into the lack of supplies and possible refreshing needed. Thank you again for the feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

We have stayed here many times becuase we love the location. Close to what we want to do but not crowded.

- Tina Z. from GEORGETOWN, Posted: 07/27/2020

Not our first time at El Constante, but our first time in #210. Loved that it was just right up the stairs and the only unit that direction. AC vent in living area was closed - reason being, as we discovered, to get some cool air to the upstairs unit. That would be my only complaint.

- Paula P. from San Angelo, Posted: 07/04/2020

We enjoyed our few days stay in this property. We love how close it is to the beach! The property is older but the management company is doing a good job in keeping up with it. Overall we enjoy our stay!

The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cookware but there is no seasoning or general things to cook with. It is understandable with the current covid situation. Be sure to bring in your own oil and seasoning, along with shampoos as they only provide bar soap.

- rolita c. from spring, Posted: 07/03/2020

Condo was very nice and clean! Perfect location to beach!!

- Delicia P. from San Antonio, Posted: 06/02/2020

I love the location. This was my second time to this location. I would like a more updated unit. There were some things that I didn't like, ie the tub slow draining broken dining chairs, broken shades. However, all and all super friendly staff.

- Debra S. from San Antonio, Posted: 09/10/2019

Thanks for the feedback, the owner is working on some updating. Hope we see you back again soon.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

It was an incredible experience. The condo was very clean, right in front of the beach.

- HOMERO V. from MONTERREY, Posted: 08/18/2019

Unit 210 is a great location and is quite comfortable (sofa bed is not super comfy but will do for kids/teens). We would definitely stay here again! The description was accurate and the property was clean. It's not new, by any means, but has been well maintained. We were very satisfied with our stay. A recommendation would be to change the services provided: with the cleaning fee charged, it would seem reasonable that guests could only bag the garbage and not also have to haul it down to the dumpster. This is a small concession that would make the last moments on site a little easier.

- Anonymous from Austin, Posted: 08/06/2019

The decor was noted to be more outdated in person than the pictures on the website. There was paper noted under the ceiling fan fixture downstairs. The carpet on the stairs had sand noted on arrival. The property stated they were in the process of updating the outside.


Positives-on the beach and plenty of room in the condo. Front desk personnel friendly.

- Nicole N. from Pflugerville, Posted: 07/31/2019

As always room was clean. Friendly staff that's why we've been coming here since '10. Great beach area!

- Robert V. from San Antonio, Posted: 07/30/2019

Power outage was an inconvenience. Refrigerator was not clean

- Anonymous from Garland, Posted: 07/22/2019

Not a lot we can do about an island-wide power outage but we do apologize for the inconvenience. We will be sure to address housekeeping issues too.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Everything was exactly as stated. Beach access was wonderful. Love, love, loved the pool! Literally right there! I would love to come back in the future. Great time and great experience!

- Shronda P. from Houston, Posted: 06/12/2019

we were very pleased with our whole experiene at el constante.

- Anonymous from Sioux Falls, Posted: 03/07/2019

El Constante has been our go-to condo for North Padre since we were kids. It is still a wonderful place to stay and the perfect location on the beach. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. The only issue is that you may need to make sure to wash the dishes and the silverware before using them the first time. The previous renters may not have cleaned them well. But other than that it was great! We are returning next year!

- Kimberly H. from Lewisville, Posted: 08/01/2018

I stayed 3 months in 210, very comfortable, great view, wonderful warm pool for the winter months. The staff and workers from Padre Escapes were very helpful and professional. There were a few minor maintenance issues ( loose deck rail, stove burner not working and slow internet) all problems ,except internet were promptly repaired. They are resolving the Internet problem with new equipment and it should be much better when that is finished. Hope to come again next year.

- Judith G. from alma, Posted: 04/03/2018

great place to stay

- Lisa N. , Posted: 09/25/2017

Home away from home. Friendly staff, clean spacious room,perfect spot on the beach!

- Anonymous from NEW BRAUNFELS, Posted: 07/25/2017

Rooms have always been comfortable and clean. Kitchen is decently equipped. Only one discomfort of having to run box fans to cool upstairs. But nothing intolerable. Staff is courteous. Pool is sweet!

- Robert V. from San Antonio, Posted: 07/09/2017

We've been coming to El Constante for years. The staff always went above and beyond making the almost $300/night for a two bedroom well worth it. The beach was private and cleaned of seaweed and they rented boogie boards and other water toys on the beach. One time we checked in around 9 or 10 pm, and my friend was pregnant and the bed was way too hard for her. They not only moved us to a different room around 11pm, they physically helped us move. Now, with this brand new management, they are only there until 7pm and not a moment later. The power went out on the entire island. Not their fault obviously, but when it came back on only one of the three buildings had power. Luckily it was our building that had power. But our neighbor who did not have power called the emergency line and the lady hung up on her when she tried to explain that the power was back on for everyone else. Hardly anyone was staying at El Constante. They should have moved them to the building with power immediately because it was so hot that a heat advisory had been issued. Also, the beach is now public and full of trucks and trash. Also, our DVD player did not work, though they replaced it the last day. The ladies at the front desk were very kind. But it irritates us that we pay the same amount of money for less service and a ****** beach. If it was $200 per night, it would be worth the service and the public beach. We may as well pay for two rooms at the Holiday Inn and get daily cleaning service.

- Kimberly H. from Lewisville, Posted: 06/25/2017

Thank you for your feedback. We have taken over management at the complex since May 1st but the same staff is still in place there. The beach there has not ever been private. Under the Texas Open Beaches Act "the public has the free and unrestricted right to access Texas beaches", this has been in place since 1959. The power was out for some time and did come back on at some complexes and buildings before it came on at others. The phones did not work because the power was out, that's why it kept hanging up on them.
