Thank you for the great feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the excellent location, cleanliness, and peaceful atmosphere at El Constante 116. It’s wonderful to hear it was the perfect place for your stay and you love the beachside condo as much as we do! We hope to host you again soon.-Padre Escapes
Wonderful location and the room itself was very clean but very old and could definitely benefit from a few updates. There was no hot water in the kitchen for washing dishes. Hot water in the bathroom was available for showers but limited. We were only provided two bath towels, which wouldn’t have been too bad if the unit had a washer and dryer. The pool was amazing but got a bit rowdy at times. The beach was great and it was a simple walk to The Sandbox, which was a gem!!!!

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location, the easy walk to the beach, and discovering The Sandbox — it's becoming a fast favorite! And we agree, the heated pool and hot tub can be a fun spot for guests to gather and enjoy the island vibes.
We’re also happy to hear about the cleanliness of the property. That’s something our team takes a lot of pride in. Regarding the hot water and towels, we wish we had known during your stay. We have a full team ready to jump in and address anything that comes up so our guests can get right back to enjoying their vacation. Whether it’s checking on the hot water or bringing additional towels, we’re always glad to help when we know about it.
We truly appreciate you staying with us and hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back for another beach getaway!
We came to attend our niece's college graduation. Loved how close we were to the beach. Pool area is super nice, too. Had everything we needed in the condo. Bed was clean and very comfortable.

We booked for two nights, but had such a great time that we extended for an extra day. The location is great and the property management is amazing. The property has all of the essentials. Each unit seems self sufficient and there is very little noise.

Condo with Dune view but turn your head and there's the beach- short walk and you're enjoying sand & surf. Unit is cozy & clean, bed is comfy.

YES! We are so happy to hear you loved the amazing location of this complex too! See you next time to enjoy this cozy condo 116 at El Constante soon again.
The location is delightful – right in front of the little porch are the dunes and within sight and a very short walk away is the gulf. For those who prefer not having buildings right next to you while you walk on the beach, turn to the left from the sweet condo and there will be ocean to your right and dunes to your left; the fishing jetty is less than half a mile away on the beach. The condo itself was so homey and comfortable! And as someone who cooks, the only thing I had to bring was a vegetable steamer – this condo is outfitted with knives that actually work and multiple pots and pans so you can cook a real meal. Our hosts were so patient and accommodating in addressing my questions, and the process was smooth for access and for understanding our part in the arrangement. We will definitely be back!

Love hearing this! So glad you enjoyed the dunes and the Gulf just steps from the porch—and that secret left-turn beach stroll is such a gem. It’s awesome the kitchen had everything you needed to whip up a real meal (veggie steamer aside 😉). We’re thrilled the condo felt homey and comfy, and that our team could make everything smooth for you. Also, we can’t get over those sunrise beach shots and the palm frond dog art—you really captured the vibe! Can’t wait to welcome you back for another stay.
This is a great little condo with super close beach access. The condo faces the dunes and the beach access road so there was some noise occasionally but nothing major. The beach is at the corner of the buildings so less that a couple minutes to walk. The bed in the condo was very comfortable

This condo surpassed my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was closer to the beach than what I was expecting. The property is well kept and beautiful. The only negative… I was looking forward to spending time in the hot tub but it was closed for maintenance during our stay. It was communicated through text with updates that it would be unavailable though. The communication was great all the way around! We are already planning our next visit.

Location was great. Unit was comfortable. Our two little dogs had plenty of space for their kennel and loved the beach. Easy walk to the shore and walking on the boardwalk in the afternoons was another treat for the pups. Would come back again without a doubt.

Thank you for your feedback and your great review. You were fantastic guests, and we cannot wait to host another awesome stay for you! Thank you for choosing Padre Escapes.
The unit was very clean and comfortable. the parking was the only issue. There was parking set aside for golf carts and buggies. Since there was limited spots for cars. The enforcement of the carts and buggies could be a little better so car parking is not being used up by the carts.
