loved the pool area and the swim up bar. A little disappointed when i was told i could sit outside for breakfast and it would be about 10 minutes for service but after 45 finally went in and ate inside. i understand about help but be honest. also dispointed that i couldn't bring food from outside like a sub and eat in the outdoor area. sometimes you just want something simple and inexpensive and not sit in your room

The San Luis Resort was incredibly welcoming and a wonderful place to stay. The staff was phenomenal — from valet and check-in to the pool and restaurants, everyone was friendly and genuinely happy to be there. I loved the location, and the ocean view was absolutely breathtaking. If I return to Galveston, I will definitely be staying here again!

The stay was average. Overall it was pleasant, but we were not impressed. Our room was humid and had a funky/old smell. The atmosphere as whole was nice, but wouldn't love to stay here again.

The lobby and pool area was nice but that’s really about it. The room keys were in bracelet form which was convenient. Our room was nothing spectacular and not the cleanest… the outlets didn’t work, the patio door lock was broken and impossible to open, the shower was leaking out all over the floor. The food was subpar for what you pay for it. The elevators were sooo slow. Personally just expected more for what I payed to stay here. And got charged extra for property fees and parking than what was listed when I booked. The spa was nice, but we didn’t even get the champagne that was suppose to come with our couples message. Lastly, only One lady for check-in/out as there are 5 families waiting in line to get to the counter.

Nice pool and exterior. If only they put the same amount of care into the rooms, it would be perfect and worth the money. The rooms were very outdated with popcorn ceilings and a lot of painted over caulk. A decent day but not worth the price tag. I did have an issue that a wonderful young lady named Sam fixed.

We were really looking forward to our stay, but unfortunately, our experience at check-in was disappointing. Although our check-in time was supposed to be at 4 PM, we were made to wait two more hours due to the room not being ready. After a long day of travel, this was very frustrating. What made it worse was that the staff made no effort to make the situation better—not even a simple offer of water or a drink while we waited. We hope this can be improved for future guests.

Potentially fantastic hotel

This hotel has a lot of potential but was more style over substance on our visit. We thought it was great that they allowed us to check in early, but room was dirty, beds not made and previous guests room service not taken away. Were told to wait in pool area (about 30 mins, would text when room ready) while they rectified this and we were able to use the spa to get changed, which was great. Pool area was lovely (although daughter tripped on wet toilet floor with no signage) but everyone enjoyed the heated pool. One issue we had was with shade - there wasn’t any as all shade and parasols were in reserved cabana areas. Having received no text in nearly 2 hours I went to check on the room, spoke to a different staff member (who didn’t seem to know what had happened earlier) who provided us with a new room. On entering the room it was still being cleaned by housekeeping so there appears to be a communication issue here with foh. Room was fine, nothing special, except the view! Beds a little uncomfortable. Walls a little thin. Balcony door not lockable (maintenance quickly sorted this). At start of second day we were locked out of room as our bands had not been programmed correctly. Lots of food options - we tried the bistro for lunch which was great and reasonably priced. We used the ihop on the edge of the hotel grounds for breakfast. Again fantastic choices at a reasonable price. There is a supermarket 7 mins walk for those that want to do a bit of self catering.
