Galveston Seaside ResortRental Guest Reviews

Pleasant Stay

Definitely given this place a 5/5. Very upscale clean, quite and beautiful view of ocean from balcony. Beds was so comfortable. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Senior Get Away

The property is nice, but not senior or handicap accessible. The property check-in desk pop a timeshare presentation on you at check-in before you can get your door key. I didn’t come for a timeshare presentation out of t pyramid time. Feeling a little pressure, I accepted the invite. I showed up for presentation with my heart constantly and was turned away because my spouse who also that wasn’t aware of a presentation until checking. No elevators. Just stairs to property unit on the on the 2nd, third and 4 th floors.

Stay

If you're looking for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city then this is the perfect getaway. You have to come prepared to cook or bring your food with you. The store is expensive. Cheaper in Galveston. One of the nicest stays I had this year. Relaxing, the room and balcony looked out over the pool and ocean. PERFECT!!!!!

Signature Side is awesome!

I love the view very much. The rooms were very comfortable clean. Accessibility in and out was very convenient from parking lot to the beach.

Not seaside. Actual pool is roadside .

I wasn’t expecting 5-star treatment from a 3-star hotel chain, but this Holiday Inn definitely falls into 1-star territory. First, don’t be fooled by the pictures — this is not a seaside resort. Only one building sits in front of the sea, and that’s reserved for timeshare buyers. The pool you see in the photos is also off-limits to most guests. Instead, you’re stuck with a disappointing roadside pool (see pictures). I complained since I have IHG status, and only then was I “upgraded” to access the beachside pool. On weekends, the pool fills up with drunk locals who are friends of the staff, making it far from a relaxing experience. Rooms are clean, but they come with a heavy humidity smell and visible corrosion. And despite booking through IHG, they still aggressively push their timeshare sales — expect pressure at check-in, offers of money or gift cards, and invitations to “meetings.” Decline it all. Bottom line: this place feels more like a trap than a vacation. Definitely not up to Holiday Inn standards.

Great stay on the west side of Galveston Island

we wanted to get away for a few days between K-Pop concerts and found The Holiday Inn Vacation Club seaside. We really liked the location of the resort, being away from town and isolated to the quiet area of the island was nice. The buildings were very impressive, but the size and features of the rooms were even more impressive. The grounds were very well maintained and enjoyable. We played tennis, mini golf, billiards and enjoyed the pool. All in all we had a great time and were able to relax and decompress.

Daughter to beach trip

Brought my 5 year old daughter to beach and this has always been out go to resort to stay at Everytime we come to Galveston. Was curious about the resort since re building from hurricane damage. Place was amazing and clean and staff is always friendly and very welcoming.

Billing problems

The stay and location was nice. Issue is with billing. When I checked out the hold on my card was not released. When I called 14 days later the hold was released but I was told to call back in a couple days and talk to a manager if it wasn’t. A week later I put in a billing incident with IHG and I was told that the hold wasn’t released until I made the phone call to the hotel and it would be 7-10 business days until it was released.

Vacation
