El Constante 133

We liked our weekend here. Few issues: there was an issue with the outside AC unit making a terrible sound all night that kept me up. I msg the mgt company and they were in it asap. We wish there was directions on how to use the remotes for the TV. Never could figure out the main TV but did figure out the bedroom. This unit sits across from the door to the laundry- so we had other tenants just camp out in our chairs outside our window... I guess it was ok but a little odd. They said they were running a few loads and would be done soon.

Thank you for the response, Bryan! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the condo! I am so glad that we were able to assist you swiftly in regards to the noisy AC outside your window! In the future, feel free to stop by our front office if you need any assistance with working your TV or with other guests! We are here 7 days a week to help and ensure you can have the best vacation! We hope to host you again in the future! Thank you, Padre Escapes.

My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. It was perfect. The unit was larger than we expected and very clean. The complex was really quiet. And we loved how easy it was to get to the beach. We highly recommend and want to come back!

The stay was okay. Spent a lot of money to have to go and buy a skillet, cake pan and small utensils needed. What was in the unit was something I would not put my food in. The drawer fell out of the stove when opened, no oven light, the burners were not level, oven temperature was not regulated correctly. One frying pan, and 1 large pan and 1 small pan, pizza pan were good. Winter Texans stay there and it is our home. Very poorly furnished. Bed was good. Refrigerator quit working but it started up again when plugging it into the other outlet. Told the office and was told the owner would be contacted. Never heard anything back. Condo needs window coverings that don't let light in. We are booked for next winter but in a different unit.

Stayed 3 nights in unit 133. Everything was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable. The lights are pretty bright if someone is sleeping on the sleeper sofa (we did not) so keep that in mind. It’s pretty private in the corner and walks out to the pool (although you can’t really see the pool from the unit). I actually liked that. The only real con is that they don’t really clear off the beach for parking. We got our truck stuck in the sand going to the beach and also leaving. They clear a way to drive but definitely not park....waste of a beach pass. One last thing- the pool water temp is way too hot. Not refreshing. Overall though, great trip.

Thank you for your kind review and feedback Yvonne. That is unfortunate that your truck got stuck while heading to and leaving the beach. We hope to have you back soon!

This unit is located in a private cubby in the complex, very nice and close to the pool. The furniture was well thought out considering the usage of the floor space and allowing comfort for 2 adults and 2 children. Sleeper sofa was very clean (adding an egg crate and mattress pad is a great idea if you’re going to use any sleeper sofa). The televisions were not Smart TVs so no movies, the kids were disappointed, but they adjusted well to board games. To the employees who clean, Shame On You!! We were told that our unit had to be cleaned twice because it failed first inspection. We did not get to check in until 4:30...I honestly believe it was not cleaned at all regarding the microwave and floors. Behind the sofa it was very dirty where pieces of food had been left and the floors did not feel clean. A warning ⚠️ to the owners if you’re paying for this service.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, it's truly appreciated. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the unit with your family. Since your stay we have addressed the items mention with our housekeeping team and addressed the issues. We hope to host you again!

- Padre Escapes staff, Posted:

This condo is absolutely beautiful! It has great access to the pool and the beach, and is equipped with everything you need. The only negative, as explained by other renters, is the loud second floor resident. Sadly, we heard very loud foot steps starting at 6 am, and continuing as late at 1 am every day. Without that, this review would be 5 stars all the way. We will definitely visit El Constante again!

- Amanda F. from San Antonio, Posted: 08/07/2022

Thank you for the feedback, we apologize for the noisy neighbors upstairs, fortunately these are short-term rental properties so the guests change frequently and this is not typically a problem.

Awesome location. Short walk to the beach. Nice pool to enjoy. Will visit again.

This was my second stay with El Constante and love the location. I have been pleased with the booking process and office staff. Check in was great and condo location was perfect. Here’s what I was disappointed in with the condition of the condo, first walking in there was strong smell of mold and just musty, but I put that as to the condo not being used and lack of circulation, but it might help to run the air conditioning before guests arrive. The bathroom was pretty gross, it didn’t look like it had been thoroughly cleaned. The sink, shower didn’t look like they were cleaned and had to wear my flip flops while I showered and there was feces stuck to the toilet bowl. The kitchen sink was also very dirty and didn’t look like it had been cleaned, the coffee maker had a rusted heating plate and the refrigerator looked like it had food all over it and dishes in cupboard had food still on them.I did bring my own sanitizing and cleaning items because of COVID, but would have expected extra care and attention had been put into the condo’s cleanliness because of covid. Remote was broken and taped prior, but still had trouble using it. I was also woken up on my second day at about 6:30 am to a lot of scratching within the walls/ceiling. I’m not sure if anyone staying above me had a dog and that may have been a reason for the noise or there are rodents. Everything else was fine, I didn’t spend a lot of time in the condo, so I just let it go for the moment. Will I stay here again? Sure, but if the condition and cleanliness of the condo are like they were this last visit, then there will be a problem and request for a cleaner condo. I don’t see the purpose of charging a cleaning fee when the condo isn’t cleaned and presentable. You may want to also suggest to it’s owner that the bedskirt needs to be replaced, not a great impression when it looks dirty and ripped. I didn’t mention it to the office bec

Iris, thank you for taking the time to make us aware of these issues you experienced during your stay. We sincerely apologize for these oversights as this is not up to our usual standard of operations. We have a deep clean scheduled for this unit immediately and have made our team aware to address the items mentioned. I have notated your reservation and will reach out directly in hopes to host you again and offer a better experience.

The condo was clean and neat, it was great. However i have to mention that
there was too much light coming in from both the front, and from the bedroom. Also, on our last night there was some kind of drinking party going on in the parking lot,i was worried about my vehicle,skateboarding between the cars and pickup's.

We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us overall. We will look into the windows and exterior lighting and see if additional drapes are needed, thank you for the recommendation. We apologize about the noise disturbance during your stay, please let our front office know next time so we can address this with the appropriate party. Hope to see back soon!

Very relaxing, we loved the modern updates. We could tell that the owner of this unit really cares about their investment. I would select this unit again. Give the owners of 211 some style advice.

My cousin and I had a great stay in #133 except for two situations. We had loud and thunderous upstairs neighbors all week and one day at the pool a very discourteous group of folks playing distasteful and loud music. I do not agree with Padre Escapes method (sending a text) of resolving issues. It is far too easy to ignore a text. Other than these isolated incidents, I would recommend El Constante. The location is perfect! It is close to good restaurants and shopping and an excellent IGA. It is not far from Port A or Corpus Christi and the clean beach is at your doorstep.

We have security scheduled nightly during peak season and will follow up with them to ensure these noise issues get addressed in a more timely manner. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you again.

My daughter and I had a great time! Only thing I would change is providing hand sanitizer at the gates to the pool since guests have to touch the keypads (COVID19 time). Otherwise, very clean and in great shape!

this exactly what i needed to enjoy my birthday & get away to relax for myself, son, and Mom. The room was very nice & i absolutely loved being so close to the beach.

Very nicely decorated, comfortable, clean and updated apartment. The corner location creates a bolt of seclusion and privacy which is nice. Easy access to the parking lot and pool. The only drawback is that it is on the lower level and as such, there can be a lot of disturbance from the unit above.

- Anonymous from San Antonio, Posted: 09/21/2019

El Constante has been a refuge for me and my family for over 17 years. It is amazing to see the upgrades in progress. Our one-bedroom unit was perfect. The bathroom upgrade was the most dramatic. Wonderful walk-in shower. Everything else was perfect. I can't wait to come and stay for more than 5 nights!!! Well done, Padre Escapes.

We went on vacation to celebrate our family adoption and I had asked if it was possible to put a congratulations sign up and they said they would note it that way they could put the sign before we got there and they didn’t was upsetting because we went so we could celebrate our adoption

- Cody M. from San Antonio, Posted: 09/02/2019

Location and beach access was great.

- Linda T. from San Antonio, Posted: 06/25/2019

The AC was totally broken when we arrived and the maintenance crew took 2 hours to fix it. It should have been tested before guests arrived....
It was disappointing that the couch did not turn into a bed.
The blow up bed was NOT a great substitute for this. We were told that it was a sofa bed when we booked it. We did not like being stuck in a dark corner....were told it opened on to the pool...that was not true.
would not stay in that unt again The king bed was nice as was the shower.

- Robert J. from Austin, Posted: 05/21/2019

We apologize for any confusion but this property does only sleep 3 guests and is not advertised as having a sofa bed. The property is just off the pool. We do check the AC as well as wifi, TVs and much more prior to a guest's arrival. Sometimes issues just happen between the time we inspect and the guest arrives. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced but we do appreciate your feedback.

Condo was exactly as described. Very clean and spacious for 2 people. Complex was very active but not to noisy. Pool is in relatively close proximity to the unit but the way it is situated in the building you did not have any noise. Right on the beach so that was awesome. You definitely rent again!

- Kelly B. from Flatonia, Posted: 07/20/2018

I took my daughter for the weekend and we had a blast. Our unit was updated, clean and very comfortable. We also really enjoyed the pool and the fact that it was only steps to the beach! My only (very small) complaint was that they were late getting the pool cleaned each morning which meant we had to wait to swim. My daughter is four so swimming was on the agenda from sun up to sun down. But again, such a small thing. Our stay was wonderful and we will return.

- Miranda F. from Liberty Hill, Posted: 07/17/2018

Besides the water being turned off for a short time on 2 separate days (with no warning) and a herd of elephants in the unit above, the stay was great. The location on the beach was great and made for easy morning/evening walks. I alao liked that the actual unit was tucked away in a corner so the pool noise was kept at a minimum. The bed was comfy and the decor was as pictured. I would definitely recommend and book this unit again.

- Cynthia S. from White Settlement, Posted: 07/04/2018

The condo was nice and updated. The only thing that was not true in regards to the description of the property was that it said it was a "pool view" condo. This condo doesn't have a view of the pool when you look out the window. You look out to another unit.

Very comfortable, quiet accommodations. Great location right on the beach. A bit far from town if you wanted to go to the city.

- Mark G. from Paris, Posted: 03/20/2018

The space was perfect. The condo was updated. The unit location was across from the laundry, bedroom window was at the community grill area.... Some things you can't change. No screen in the window to allow fresh air in & no ice cube trays. Other than that, it was great.

For nearly 10 years we have been going to your location, but after hearing about the new reservation and charging policy - we are already looking for a new place to stay. I think the new charging of paying yourselves two weeks in full before the arrival is so unfair. My way of business is paying once service are rendered. So many events can happen like car problems or health problems and you guys charging the full amount two weeks prior is so frustrating. Not very helpful for hard working Americans !

- Jesse M. , Posted: 07/24/2017

Thank you for your feedback. We have a responsibility to the owners as well as the guests. Many vacation rentals require payment in full 30 days out. 14 days out seems reasonable to both the owners and guests. Thank you for your feedback, we hope you change your mind and come back to see us again.

We rented their meeting room for my daughter's graduation party. We finished up late and decided to stay the night. The staff was great throughout the entire experience. They were able to rent us a room at the last minute. It was clean, well furnished (coastal decor) and very comfortable. The shower was awesome!They currently have some construction going on, but it was not an issue. I highly recommend this place!
