Galveston Beach ResortRental Guest Reviews

Anniversary

Great spot to enjoy the beach without the hustle and bustle up the road.

Galveston on the Beach

We spent six wonderful days at this wonderful hotel and we really enjoyed our stay. The whole staff is very friendly and helpful. I agree with the good comments mentioned in the other reviews so I will not waste your reading time telling you about the wonderful things about this wonderful place to say on the beach and away from the loud and busy seawall. This is the third time that we have stayed here and are anxious on returning to this wonderful hotel in the future.

Great View of the Ocean and Great Staff

I took my mom to the Dickens on the Strand and we stayed here. The staff were so nice and helpful with things to do and see while in Galveston. I have stayed here twice and would recommend this place to others

Dickens Weekend :)

The room was nice. Keep in mind this hotel is not your standard hotel, it is technically a time share. So don't expect the daily room cleaning (unless you ask for it). There are dishes and things in the room, a stove, refrigerator and microwave. Although it is farther out from the bustle of town it isn't so far away that it isn't refreshing. The front desk staff was helpful and knowledgeable. We did inform them of all the issues in the review prior to leaving as well. Having said all that. We got there on the coldest night of the year it seems, and to get from the parking area to check in you have to go up an elevator and out a door down a breezeway. Frozen popsicles by the time we finally got to the room. When we first got to the room there was a big water puddle on the floor, cleaned it up with towels, and it wasn't a leak so not sure where that came from. You have to take your own trash out. The TV was in an odd angle to where the couch was placed, actually gave me a headache from how my neck had to twist. Overall we had a nice stay and for the price it was worth it.

Great room at a decent rate

The room was perfect at the Galveston Beach Resort. Since we only stayed on night we really didn't take advantage of the kitchen which looked well stocked. Overall nice room and would use again.

Broken stuff

Non-functional elevator and stairs locked (ostensibly for security). Fortunately, the other elevator was functioning. Gate to the pool was key-locked and they did not provide a key. I suspect that if I had inquired at the desk, they would have found a key but it should have been provided at check-in. Printer was broken so that they could not print the final bill. No hot water in the shower. The hair dryer was nearly pulled completely off the wall (mounted with a screw into sheetrock without proper mount). Staff seemed nice but I would have traded a hot shower for grumpy staff. This was not a family stay...just an overnight in transit.

Heaven on earth

My wife and I can't say enough good about this place; being able to take a walk on on beach (only steps from your room). In my book this is truly heaven on earth Texas style.

Great getaway yet near it all

Nice beach location away from the crowd but easy access to everything. Good facility and friendly staff. Room was nice but when it got warm we learned the AC was a bit loud. Leaving the balcony door open was a better solution. Would go back.

NICE PLACE FOR FUN AND RELAXATION!!!!

THIS WAS OUR FIRST VIST TO THIS RESORT AND WE ARE ALREADY PLANNING TO RETURN VERY SOON!!!!! THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY. THE ROOMS WERE NICE AND COZY. THE RESORT IS VERY QUIET AND RELAXING.

Really nice place for Galveston!

Beautiful facility - the apartments are very nice! Will definitely return! We were there for the Lone Star Bike Rally and the price was a little inflated - but it is NICE. The staff were super friendly!
