El Constante 116

Overall it was ok...I know this property is getting older so management needs to keep up with the various upgrades/maintenance/furniture as needed. I found dirty dishes in the cabinets and there were roaches which is a BIG NO NO for me! I love the fact it’s close to the beach! I have been staying here for years but next time we will be trying out other condos in that area even though we might have to drive back and forth! Not recommending until major improvements are made!

Our condo was ready when we arrived. Everything in good working order. Nicely decorated with most evwrithing we needed for our 4 night stay. We loved that the beach was just steps away, with incredible sunrise and moonrise. It would have been great to have a ceiling fan on the porch though.

This was a beautiful stay as this week of June came with cooler weather made possible with wind and rain. Upon entering this unit it was clear, that it was very clean. The kitchen was immaculate, well organized, and supplied. The bedroom and restroom were no different, being very presentable and clean. A nice aspect of this location is parking in front of the unit allowing easy and quick access while unloading and loading our vehicle. My only suggestion in any of these units is to provide a comfy sofa bed mattress. Thank you

It's our third time at el constante. We've stayed in 106, 126 and this time 116. We have a dog so these are all pet friendly rooms. No issues, very clean, everything we needed was provided. Pool bracelets already in the room, nice touch! And pool gets maintained every morning , very clean and its heated! It's a partial beach view ( 1/3 really) but your literally steps away. Although our fav room is still 106 because it is beach front, you will not regret staying in 116. It was a busy weekend too but we had no issues.. Book it!

Loved this little place. I would say that the bed could have had a better mattress. The extra foam that was on the mattress was annoying, the fitted sheet didn’t fit over it and the bed was too soft. The fridge squeaked when opening the door, sounded like a loud fart. The bathroom fixtures worked fine but, were aesthetically unpleasing, pitted and rusty looking. All and all I still enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.

- Petra C. from Eagle River, Posted: 05/22/2023

I am so happy you did enjoy your stay but also apologize hearing the issues you did have. Please know that during your stay we encourage our guests to bring any and all issues to our attention so we can either address them during your stay or get them to the proper people to address for next time. We look forward to hosting you in the future!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

The unit was clean and comfortable. The bed was softer than I prefer but it had good support. The bedroom was dark in the morning which allowed me to sleep well. It was very windy so I could sit on the porch & see and hear the waves. I always felt safe at the unit. I never heard the tenants in the neighboring unit. I loved the walk-in closet which allowed the suitcases to be out of the way. The kitchen was full of everything you could need even a crockpot. I cannot wait to go back to this unit.

We stayed in 114-116 and although families in 114 and 116 said the sofa beds left something to be desired, that was really the only complaint. We all had a very enjoyable stay in each condo! We all loved the location and Convenience of the beach and the redone pool was the icing on the cake! We will all be staying again

- tonya C. from San Antonio, Posted: 05/03/2023

So glad to hear it! Glad we were able to have the pool up and running prior to your arrival. We look forward to seeing you again!

Sadly our son got seriously injured about 10 days before the trip, so we had to cancel. We were still charged for the stay.

Hello Sarah! Thank you for your review. We are sad to hear you had a family emergency and were not able to make it. You were outside of the cancellation period and did not have travel insurance but we did make every attempt to get the unit rebooked for you. We were able to refund the reservation and cleaning fee and hope to host you in the future with a discounted rate! Thank you.

My husband and I came with our 2 dogs to move our son into his dorm at Texas A&M. We deduced to stay a few extra days to enjoy the beach. This place was great. We loved the unit & the fact that we could walk to the beach. Everything was comfortable & we had everything we needed. We will definitely come back.

The El Constante was a very nice property and Unit 116 was exactly as pictured and described. The property was very clean and provided all the necessities. On the ground level there really wasn't a front porch, but a small space with 2 chairs and a view of the ocean if sitting sideways in front of the entrance. However,you could hear the waves. The desk clerks were friendly and check in quite quick and easy.
Working with Padre Escapes was pleasant. Answered all my questions before check in and even gathered and mailed a couple of things to me that I had left behind. Owner also pleasant to work with.

Our room was very clean (room 116) and perfect for a "Pet Friendly Room" because it had no carpets. Our dog is potty trained, but we wondered if prior pets would make the room smell, but... since the condo has no carpets, the room smelled and was very clean.
There were 2 things that were not up to par... the utensils and dishes were dirty from the prior renters so I had to rewash everything before we could used them. I did alert the front desk. Also, there were no pot holders for the oven in our room.

- Lyne J. from San Antonio, Posted: 05/11/2021

Thank you for making us aware, we had the utensils replaced and added some new pot holders. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you and you fur babies back soon.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

Well, they couldn't find my paperwork at the front and had to wait for it to be found. We got there and the beds were like metal like in a military barracks, and the apartment smelled like mildew. Your maintenance man the next day was helpful and put in a new filter and sprayed some stuff in it to help with smell, which it did. The front step was broke and the wood was rotting. And trying to get the cable to work each night we had to call office and someone very helpful was able to fix it (after an hour on the phone)whether it was in the bedroom or living room (oops and there was only one main remote) for 299.00 per night, I figured the accomadations would have been better.

We had a wonderful stay! The rental was very nice and clean. The beds were a little uncomfortable but we didn't go there to sleep. The easy walk to the beach was great! Most relaxing time we've had in a long time.

- Jolene H. from CALDWELL, Posted: 10/02/2020

I wish I could give zero. Two broken twin beds. I fell down and they did nothing. Horrible place. Fake picture. It’s not beach facing. It’s sand dunes facing. People smoking everywhere. Unsafe.

- Anonymous from Fulshear, Posted: 10/02/2020

We hate to hear you had such a disappointing experience. It's our understanding, from what you told us during your stay, that you pushed the two twin beds together and they came apart while you were sleeping and that's when you fell. We did check on you during your stay. This is a dunes facing property as the pictures accurately depict.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

The apartment's location is great; it's steps from the beach. The kitchen has everything you need if you decide to cook. However, the apartment seems a bit worn. The fridge has rust spots on the front & side although the interior was clean. The toilet seat should be changed & the water runs off very slowly in the bath sink. I appreciated that there was dish soap & detergent for the dishwasher.

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 07/12/2020

We love beach vacations. Our favorite locations are beachfront houses or condos where you can walk out the front door barefoot and the beach is right there a minute away. That's exactly why we chose this place. We were also trying to stay within a budget, and this place hit the spot.

As long as you set your expectations that this is a budget condo, you won't be disappointed. Keeping in mind the price range, the property was in good condition, the property was clean, and the few minutes we spent checking in at the office, the staff were kind and helpful.

- Anonymous from NA, Posted: 06/16/2020

The location was the only thing satisfactory with staying in this unit. The condo was in need of being updated from top to bottom. The refrigerator had rust stains on the outside. The oven had broken parts but probably useable. We decided upon arrival that we would not be cooking in. The place is worn out and not up to expectation even at reduced last minute pricing. Be aware. This building is old. Walls are thin. The upstairs occupants sounded like a gymnastic family that’s liked to also move furniture around. The shaking from upstairs sound like structure popping downstairs. Pieces of the ceiling were also falling off due to the current hammering with construction repairs outside. The whole place felt unclean and worn out. Dead roach in closet. I would not recommend this unit until renovated.

- Michael H. from Fort Worth, Posted: 02/19/2020

We apologize for the inconveniences you experienced. You were here during the middle of construction which is no reason for your stay not to be up to standard but unfortunately the construction can take a lot of our attention away from addressing issues like these. We will check up on the property and make any needed recommendations to the owner. Thank you again for the feedback.

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

It is way overpriced for what it is, especially being under construction. I could have gotten a two bedroom with queen size beds (as opposed to a one bedroom with twin beds) for the same price and cheaper. I almost could have stayed at Port Royal for the same price. I especially don't like that the total as I was making my decision said about $530 and then jumped to over $880 by the time I finished booking. That's ridiculous. I expect the fees when it shows a nightly rate, but don't put a "total" and then add a bunch of fees on top of it. The people on site were great. Love the beach towel exchange.

- Julie H. from San Antonio, Posted: 10/19/2019

Very professional helpful and courteous! We enjoyed our stay and will return to rent one of the places facing the beach with patio. Thank you for making it so easy to enjoy a short family getaway.

- Louis G. from Deer Park, Posted: 09/10/2019

It has always been wonderful at El Constante condos but this year was the best!!!The room was beautiful and fully stocked with everything you will need for the beautiful beach!The staff are always so hubandand I have been coming here every year for 10 years.Their are alot of new condos all around there now but we will always come back here!!!!

- Vickey P. from Irving, Posted: 08/31/2018

Our room was a a 2-3 minute walk to the water. We stayed on the 1rst floor and could here every step above us. The pool was great. The grassy area along the seawall was full sticker burs.

- Anonymous from Kerrville, Posted: 08/12/2018

Clean condo and great location. Nice pool. Staff was amazing. Only thing that would change is be able to check in earlier, like around 2pm or earlier if the condo is ready (without extra cost).

- Patricia F. from La Vernia, Posted: 08/04/2018

This was the perfect little get away spot. This unit is close to the beach, as well as to the pool. It was comfortable for all of us, and definitely had that "home away from home" feel.

- Melissa H. from Mesquite, Posted: 07/14/2018

Condo 116 was lovely. Clean and well appointed. Please see review on condo 115 as we had to move from condo 203 due to air conditioning issues and unlivable conditions.

- Lynn R. from Leander, Posted: 07/26/2017

Stayed Mothers Day weekend. Upon arrival we were told we had been moved because on a burst water pipe. Wasn't too happy but they actually gave us a little upgrade ( beach view instead of dune view)which was nice. The only problem was the huge construction dumpster sitting in the parking lot block any beach view. Love how close the beach is. Overall great stay and great time!
