Many of Corpus Christi's hotels and motels are located near the water with outstanding views of the bay. Corpus Christi Beach is north of the downtown area and is linked by a high bridge over the port. The Texas State Aquarium is located there as is the USS Lexington, a floating museum.
 Villa Del Sol is also on the
shoreline beach and features 1 bedroom condos which can easily accommodate
4 people, or 6 if the built-in bunk beds are utilized.
Several hotels are in the downtown area and most are located on Shoreline Boulevard overlooking the bay, seawall, and yacht harbor. They provide a wide range of rates and types of accommodations.
The Marina Grand was once a
Sheraton and is now a Travelodge. It is in a high-rise building with
a restaurant on the top floor with some of the best views in the city.
Weekend stays can result in listening to loud music from local nightclubs
until all hours of the morning - beware!
 The Holiday Inn Emerald
Beach is the only downtown hotel located on a beach and each room has view
of the bay. It also sports a "holidome" with an indoor pool and adjacent
lounge area. A raised sundeck overlooks the beach and has a cute
bar. This is definitely a fun place to stay and a big hit with families.
Couples would enjoy their waterside cabana rooms.
 The two hotels listed below are about 6-7 miles away along South
Padre Island Drive (SPID) near the area shopping malls:
If you are looking for luxury, then stay at the Ocean House Suites - a elegant home on Ocean Drive that has been converted into an inn. |
The two Omni hotels are
the most upscale, but rooms are average size unless you book a suite.
The Ramada rooms are in
a high-rise with a covered atrium in the center. Good basic rooms
for an excellent rate.
