We rented the Penthouse suite (king bed) with a connecting room with 2 double beds. When we arrived the connecting room had one queen bed. The wallpaper is starting to peel off, and the room just has an outdated feel to it. The pool is great, it's right across the street from the gulf. Service was good, they have an... More

The people at The San Luis Resort have always treated us very well as frequent guests, so they did not disappoint when we stayed there recently for my birthday. They really made me feel special! The (heated) pool is always just the right temperature no matter what time of year. The balcony view from our room is great for watching... More

Stayed here for a girl's weekend and it was so much fun! The room was nice and hotel is beautiful. I had room service breakfast and it was divine. Definitely want to go back as soon as I can. The pool atmosphere is very festive and fun and the views are fantastic. Highly recommend the San Luis!!

I’ve lived in Texas now for over 15 years, but have really only visited Galveston a handful of times. I never stayed there until recently, when I photographed a wedding held at the San Luis Resort. The wedding was on a Sunday, so I made reservations to stay Saturday and Sunday nights. As a photographer, the Saturday check-in would give... More

The rooms have not been updated for a really long time. For the price, very dated! The overall grounds were fairly nice, however I think the rooms were old. Fresh paint, carpet, tile and a bathroom remodel is very much needed. I feel like nothing has been renovated in a really long time. Valet staff VERY GOOD. very attentive. Shower/bathroom... More
