I’ve been coming to el constante for some time now wether is was with some one else or with my own family and it’s always been amazing. The staff is always super informative and sweet not to mention that the room looked amazing with all the new updates they did. I will always come back here for vacation!!

We loved our stay here. Before the vacation began, the staff kept in contact just enough so we new everything was as on track. After our arrival the costumer service continue to be great with the office staff at the location as well. The condo was just as represented. It was clean, nicely decorated and felt comfortable right from the start. The proximity to the beach was my favorite. It was easy to walk there anytime and it was not overcrowded. My kids loved the heated pool which was well maintained. We also enjoyed a few other beaches that were less than 30 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again on a future vacation! Thanks for the great memories!

This was our second time renting through Padre Escapes. First time was at Padre Beach View, which was an amazing property. El Constante 224 was satisfactory. Property management was very helpful.
Wife had the linens swapped out when we got there as she said they had an odor. Ceiling fan in master bedroom was very slow, one call to management, they brought a box fan. We did have to sweep the floors on arrival though. Overall, great location. The condo serves its purpose as a place to retreat to after a day on the beach or out fishing.

Great stay. The only problem was the downstairs tv was not working which was upsetting because we would have to go upstairs to watch tv.

This unit was in much better condition than the previous two reviews suggested. The photos were accurate. There was nothing that would make us not stay there again. It was pretty clean, no odors (and we are sensitive to that), and cooled sufficiently. There were a few areas for improvement, like a missing drain cover in one bathroom sink, and a slightly loose plumbing connection in the other bathroom. The dishwasher worked but was insanely loud. The kitchen was well equipped, including measuring spoons, measuring cups, knives, etc. We could not find oven mitts or hot pads (maybe some rule about cloth things?), and I did not like that the cutting board was wooden, since I don't know how others may have cleaned it, cut raw meat, etc. One of the downstairs blinds was broken, and the chairs on the decks were pretty uncomfortable. I know this is a long list of things that could be improved, but none of them were major.

Overall the room was gross and I felt like I was at a cheap interstate motel. Furniture and decor are old and nasty. Air conditioning froze you out downstairs, and it was a sauna upstairs in the bedrooms. There were no rugs on the tile floor, and there was dog hair and a layer of filth on everything. You guys should be embarrassed to take people’s money to stay in a dump like that. We wouldn’t stay here again if it was $59/night. Some of our family stayed in 218 and it was much nicer. View and proximity to beach are great.

Thank you for the feedback, this property owner is selling their property and the new one plans to update it.

It was in a good location-right on the beach.
It could use some maintenance-mold on some of the AC vents and dust and mold on the return air vent. All the bathroom sinks drained slowly-at least one of them was clogged with gunk. Many cracked floor tiles and dingy, dirty looking carpet. Other than those things it was an ok place to stay.

Thank you for the feedback, we'll get maintenance on your concerns.

El C was wonderful, as always. We've been going for years (different units). The office managers could not have been nicer. Only downside is limited outlets for lamps, TVs, phone chargers, etc., so bring your own plug extenders.

Great to hear you enjoyed it and thank you very much for the feedback.

This is a decent unit. Not as updated as some, but we chose it because it allowed us to bring our small dog. It had a very strong smell when we arrived, like air freshener or Carpet Fresh. The upstairs bathroom in the master bedroom smelled like cigarettes, so perhaps they were trying to conceal the odor? Aside from that, the unit was pretty comfortable and well equipped. We had most everything we needed to cook there, although it was missing a large frying pan. When we contacted the office, they sent someone to get us one and delivered a brand new one, which was really nice. The front office staff are very friendly and helpful.

Unit quite unattractive, we've stayed in much nicer units on the beach.
Unit pictured a fireplace, not there. Master bath tub hardly drained and shower head very high and couldn't adjust. No fan in 2nd bath. Living rm. sparse, uncomfortable furniture, poor lighting. Poor quality washcloths & hand towels.
Slider to deck off L.R barely moveable. Kitchen was well equipped.
Certainly needs hooks for coats on main floor.
Would not book this unit again.
Enjoyed the aquarium and botanical garden, as well as the shrimp at Snoopys

We?re certainly disappointed to hear about your issues. We haven?t heard these complaints before but we will absolutely look into them. Thank you for the feedback.

El Constante is a really great place to stay especially if you have a pet and especially in the fall and winter because of the excellent location and access to the beach both by walking and by driving to jetties or to park on beach. It is a beautiful area of the beach with a delightful boardwalk for walking and biking. Customer service is really over the top. The office people are very nice and online services are very efficient and attentive. I highly recommend staying at this pet friendly location

Decided to stay here based on some reviews. Stayed two nights with family from Colorado. The description of the condo said it was a 2 bd, 2.5 baths with a queen sleeper in the living room. Turns out there wasn't a sleeper sofa when I called the office they said they would send up an air mattress which was fine but they could have at least offered a discount for the false advertising.

The unit was not very clean, the sofa and chair that were in the living room smelled old and musty. We had 2 small children running around barefoot and their feet were black with dirt from the floor. The cleaning crew needs to spend more time cleaning.

The location and views are great, the pool was nice but I noticed an oily film on top of the water and it didn't look very clean.

I understand these condos are old and they are trying to fix it up, but at least have someone walk around outside and pick up the trash.
