The location is amazing we come in February and part of March the pools are heated. The grounds are very well kept. Our condo was perfect for our needs. -

Great place to stay on SPI. Clean and #157 had everything we needed and more. AC worked great and pool was as close as possible without being right in front of us. Pool was great, 9ft at its deepest end. Location is perfect! Walking distance to Claytons and Louies Backyard right next door. Definitely staying there again. Highly recommend. -

Love the place. Great location, just a quick walk to the beach. Chairs and umbrellas rentals are 35 for the day.You are renting someones condo. If you have special needs, there are no elevators in the buildings. -

We recently stayed 2 nights at the Tiki Condominiums (5/27/24 -5/29/24) in unit 120. The condo was clean but somewhat outdated. There was a coffeemaker but no filters. Who travels with coffee filters? We ended up using a paper towel. A tiny bottle of dishwashing liquid was provided but NO sponge. I get those sponges at the dollar, really inexpensive. A dishwasher but no pods. A condo provides dinner ware, glasses, pots and pans so it would help if the owner were to provide a sponge and pods. Also missing were ice trays. And just a basic salt and pepper shaker. The items mentioned are very inexpensive and I hope the owner considers getting these few items which will definitely help future renters. AS FAR AS EVERYTHING ELSE IS CONCERNED, GREAT LOCATION, WELL MANICURED GROUNDS AND CLEAN POOL. -

Loved it. We had the same towels for 4 days… and we had to buy our own toilet paper -

Our family has been staying here for years and it is a great location on the beach. All the rooms we have stayed at have been very roomy and nicely decorated. The office has always responded quickly to any issues. Highly recommend staying here. -

Stayed at The Tiki for my anniversary in room 208 and it was amazing! The room and restroom were extremely clean, king size bed and had a big balcony with a lovely view of the trees. Would most definitely recommend and will come back soon! -

My husband and I came to SPI for our anniversary weekend. We booked Tiki Condo. We had a wonderful experience!!! The condo 112 was very clean and cozy!!! The staff was super nice and very helpful!! Maintenance was also very wonderful!! Tiki has beautiful grounds with 2 nice pools and a great beach access with shower to rinse off. We highly recommend staying here!!! We will be coming back!!! Thank you Tiki Condos for making our 29th anniversary the best yet!!! -

We rented a VRBO and it was great. The condo was so close to the beach. The complex pool was clean and the grounds well maintained. -
Review 11 (2023-09-20 - Rating: 4)
Our VRBO condo was lovely, had enough space for three of us and a nice balcony view of the Gulf. The resort is very clean and well maintained, the pools were beautiful and the beach access is excellent with a shower to clean off sand. The only downside is the the music from the bar at the Marriott is extremely loud, carrying on well past midnight on the weekends. Our unit was facing the Marriott and it was impossible to sleep during their dance party. -

We love the Tiki! Everyone on staff is super kind, the beach is right there, the pools are heated in the fall/winter, parking is great, the plants on-site are so gorgeous, and some of the rooms have been updated! We love it, we feel like its a home away from home. Totally worth it -

Hands down one of the best spots on the beach. The condos are super nice and clean. Area is very accessible to the restaurants and eatery spots. You have your own access to the beach and there is a club in walking distance! A much go for sure! I will be visiting again before summer is over. Well worth the costs! -

Review 15 (2022-10-11 - Rating: 5)
The place was super clean and our condo was a comfortable stay. The staff were warm and friendly. Weve been going to the island at least once a year and sometimes twice since 2014 and this was the best stay weve had on the island.Edit and Update: We stayed there again Oct 6-10(not correlated at all to the pride week). We picked a condo close to the pool. The heated pool was absolutely freezing to the point I couldnt enjoy it. Back in April when we stayed there the pools were a little bitwarm(not what i consider heated). This is a big deal to me and although I really like the price and the property, it will be our last stay there. -

We spent the weekend in September. Great place to stay. Parking was good. The condo was excellent, the pool was excellent. Easy beach access and right next to Luies Bar and Claytons, but you couldnt hear them once inside. The fireworks on Friday and Saturday night were right there and a very nice touch. -

Great location and awesome beach access. The room was great and next to the pool. Room and kitchen fully equipped with everything we needed. A couple of beach bars are next door which makes it great to just walk to for dinner or drinks. -
Review 18 (2021-08-21 - Rating: 5)
(Skip the apps and rent directly from The Tiki!!) Really great experience for our family of three. The price was just right and saved us a ton avoiding eating out every meal. We stayed in a 1 bedroom, closer to the beach. Very convenient to the ocean plus right there by the pool. Having a room with a full kitchen was a *huge* money saver. Would have been nice to have a dedicated recycling area, a resident told me if I left our recyclables by the trash they would get sorted, Im hoping that was accurate. Didnt have much interaction with staff, but they were friendly checking us in and out, latter via phone. With all the rules/instructions we received it would have been nice to know 1)where/if we could get more trash bags or paper towels 2)that we needed our own hand soap for the bathroom (weird how dish soap, kitchen and bath towels were provided but not hand soap). Had to run out quick on day 1 so we could wash our hands. Its a little weird to have to wear wristbands as a fully grown adult in mid summer, feels like that could be relegated to Spring Break times, but we made due. Ultimately a great experience and well be back for sure. -

The property itself is gorgeous and centrally located on South Padre Island. We enjoyed a beachfront view from our balcony which was absolutely breathtaking watching the sunrise and sunset. Our condo was really comfortable and cozy. Only suggestion is to soon replace the chairs for the table and purchase a newer couch. The seating in them are a bit worn. We had 2 queen beds in one of the rooms - Extremely comfortable and spacious. I do plan on coming back!! -

Great condo and you can’t beat the accessibility to the beach or the front row view of the weekend fireworks over the water. Only complaint was number of non-guests on the weekend using the pool and taking up parking - no issue during the week. -
Review 21 (2023-07-25 - Rating: 5)
Near perfection!!!The Tiki property, in general:First, I would like to address many of the negative ratings that I read for Tiki Condo because these ratings nearly caused to me to book somewhere else (and I am very glad I didn’t) … Generally, the low ratings for the property are from pampered, self-absorbed, millennial types who do not like to be questioned about anything. I will explain… Yes, you must wear a wristband for the entire duration of your stay, or you will be asked to leave. Yes, you must display a vehicle placard, or your vehicle might be towed. No, you cannot hang your towels and beach wear all over the patios and balconies, trashing up the place. No, you cannot let your dog poo all over the property and not clean up after it. Thank God for all their rules. Tiki’s rules are designed to keep the property nice and secure, as well as to keep individuals who are not staying on the property from parking in the parking lots and filling up the swimming pools and common areas.The property is fantastic, well maintained and as advertised, right on the beach. The pools were pristine. The staff is friendly and accommodating but will not bother you unless you are being part of the problem.Specifically, Condo 122:With regards to condo 122. It is fantastic, well thought out and accommodating. It is well maintained and up to date, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. When the listing says Murphy bed, it is just that, a fold down extra bed in the living room area (not a sleeper sofa). This unit is on the ground floor and the owners were kind enough to gate in their patio, which is especially handy if you are traveling with pooches. Once you leave the patio gate, you are pretty much in the pet relief area. Again, fantastically convenient for the dogs (but clean up after them – Tiki provides pet waste bags and disposal receptacles). From the Patio, you are less than 100 yards to dipping your feet in the Gulf. If you exit the unit from the front door, you are about twenty steps through the breezeway to one of Tiki’s sparkling pools. A Courtyard by Marriott is next door, and their pool is immediately adjacent to the condo. At times, that Courtyard’s pool was quite loud and boisterous (i.e., live music, DJ, lots of partying and hooting and hollering). HOWEVER, my wife and I were so pleasantly surprised– we could not hear all the commotion next door from inside the condo. We are not fuddy duddys but we were traveling with a small child, who incidentally had a blast at Tiki and in SPI and who was very comfortable in the condo, as well. The condo has all tile floors which is a great feature because, due to the proximity of the beach and lawn, there is no way to keep the sand and grass out of the condo, but it was easy to keep it swept up.The only one issue with the condo is the bedroom is the air conditioning. The AC freezes the living room and dining room, but the bedroom is quite a bit warmer. The owners have supplemented the bedroom with a free-standing AC unit, but it still is not significantly cooling the bedroom. Now mind you, I am my own “thermonuclear reactor” and like it COLD when I sleep. It is still cool in the bedroom and tolerable to sleep in but, again, it is much warmer than the rest of the condo.All in all, our experience in SPI, with Tiki Condos and Condo 122 was fantastic and I would not hesitate to book this property and Condo 122 again and hope to have the opportunity to do so real soon. -

Stayed here for a week. Location is excellent and was a very relaxing, pleasant, and fun stay overall for our family. The grounds and pool are kept clean. The staff are helpful and engaged. A lot depends on the individual unit you stay in, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful beach. Security is present and helps keep things calm and safe. -

This place was everything we hoped it would be. The private beach access was super convenient and the condo was clean and spacious. The shower was hot and the design was amazing. The heated pool was really fun too. The staff was pleasant and very accommodating as well. -

I really enjoyed my stay here, the rooms are big and clean the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. This is a place more for family theres security walking around and that made me feel safe. The sofa bed was really bad and springy but Ive never slept in a good sofa bed so Ill let it slide the actual bed in the room was really nice. As for the pool theres 3-9 feet and the water was slightly warm. -

What a great stay! Right on the beach, unit was very clean, no problems at all. Didnt get a chance to use the pool (weather) but the beach access was great and youre right next to plenty of food and drinks. Fast, easy drive up check in, no keys to lose and plenty of towels! -

Love this place. Quiet and everyone is friendly. Pools are heated and empt after 8. Most condos do not have gates on first floor patio even if pic shows one. so check with each condo you stay in. Recommend. -

This place was very nice. We stayed here for the Memorial Day Weekend, we had a 1 bedroom condo and it was big, clean and looked newly renovated. They had towels and everything needed to stay comfortable. The common areas where well maintained and clean. Parking was enough and has beach access. We will try to stay here anytime we go back. -

Review 31 (2021-10-01 - Rating: 5)
Fantastic home away from home experience. We will definitely be back and hoping 144 is available when we do. Front row parking, easy beach/pool access and the ability to not eat every meal out if we chose. A much needed enjoyable relaxing vacay. Cannot wait to be back. A quiet venue with a quick check in and out process and security on site to verify guests are the only ones occupying the area. -
Review 32 (2016-09-06 - Rating: 4)
We sublet, which is apparently the way to go. We were charged more than double the nightly rate, but after reading the other reviews, seems to have been worth it.The unit we stayed in was kept up nicely. We were on the first floor, and our balcony faced out. Minimal noise from the upstairs neighbors.We arrived after 9pm, but had made advance arrangements for our parking tag to be left in our room. Wifi info was also included. We never checked in with the front desk, and never had issues with not having wrist bands on.My favorite part of the entire experience was location, location, location. We were right on the beach, which made it convenient for carrying our beach stuff back and forth. Additionally, we were close to town, but not right in the center of things.We did see security around at night, and like other people have said, the unit had a weird smell. Overall, we had fun, and I would choose to stay here again. -
Review 33 (2021-07-03 - Rating: 4)
This place gets 4 stars because of location and price. After that there are some definite changes that need to be made. The towel exchange hours were right in the middle of the day when you are either out on the beach or already out doing activities. Those hours should be changed to like an early morning drop off an early evening drop as well. If you have kids with a lot of stuff to take out to the beach first floor is a must. Room 120 was ok the only thing that was updated was the shower in a way. They really need to check their pipes because there were points during a shower were you would have it set perfect and then it would scold the heck out of you. All in all the room had all that we needed. Would be nice if they could build an access ramp from the condo to the beach instead of steps, but I am sure that is regulated by conservation rules. I would stay again, but maybe in another first floor room. -

Rented a beachfront condo here because we could have our dog. Location was excellent. Condo was missing some kitchen items so we were forced to go buy them—no coffee filters and no spices (not even salt and pepper). The bathroom should have been cleaned better—there was a dog pee stain on the wall that should have been scrubbed off.The Tiki website does not have reviews of individual units so you don’t have any info beforehand. -

Place was absolutely beautiful and right next to the beach. The room had a nice little touch to it. Perfect for our family of four. Kids enjoyed staying there. We had a perfect view of the beach from our patio. Would definitely recommend this place. -

Great price for a beach view condo that was clean and efficient. Loved the pool and direct access to the beach. Condo was fully stocked with everything needed for a weeklong stay and everything worked. The bed wasnt the most comfortable and there wasnt much sound dampening. Will definitely be staying here again! -

Review 42 (2018-06-14 - Rating: 4)
These condos are individually owned so all experiences may not be exactly the same. There is a front office to check in at and get your parking pass and wristband for being a guest there and being able to access the pool etc...I stayed in 124 and we liked it a lot. Its clean and nicely decorated. The A/C works great. It was good for 4 people (there are only 2 beds though). The bedroom has a large king sized bed and there is a sofa bed in living area. This particular condo is on the ground floor and right next to the beach access. We have a restaurant on the beach next to us and Sea Turtle Inc across the street. We would definitely come here again although the condos further back might be a bit of a hike if you had stuff to carry to the beach. There is a road that you can drive up to the beach and unload though so may not be a factor. -

Close to the beach, 2 heated pools. A little different than your average hotel stay. Water pressure was a little weak and the hot water wasnt very hot. Room was nice, cable was spotty but we werent there to watch TV. Price was ok. Pet friendly for a fee but watch the grass, full of burrs had to keep picking out of our dogs paws. We enjoyed our stay but our dog didnt. -

Came to visit with some new, but very close family. Services were A1, from the moment we arrived and checked in greeted like we were important guests. Once you get to the courtyard area surrounding the pool, youre immersed in green plants and colorful flowers. The pool is well kept, warm, and even has disability access with the chair lift. Getting to the rooms, which I suspect are all a bit different, we were greeted with a very nice living area with stainless steel appliances a gorgeous bathroom with awesome tiling in the shower area a double wide sink. The bedroom had access to the balcony which had its own work, yet useful patio furniture. A big us about the Tiki is its own beach front Access, so you dont need to go very far to get a semi-secluded spot on the beach. Will return when Gm given the right opportunity. -

Fun place to stay! Pools are right by the condos and its a very short walk to the beach (just past the parking lot). Claytons is walking distance, if youre trying to go out. Comfortable rooms, although the pullout couch is probably not as comfortable as an air bed would have been. Security had a presence but wasnt threatening. Things were generally tidy. Nice place. -

We had a wonderful experience at The Tiki Condominiums. The individual condo owner was so helpful in guiding us and making sure our vacation was everything we were looking for. She certainly was flexible with our schedule. We stayed in condo #211, great pool view, tropical grounds and very short walk to the Beach. The condo was very clean, great A/C and was a Home Away from Home experience. We highly recommend and the office staff, grounds personnel & security were so helpful and friendly. Great location to shops, Eateries & Grocery stores. -

Condo was just what you need. Not the luxurious kind but just what you need and not too old. Our view to the beach was beautiful. My mom is handicapped and could easily access the beach and view the wonderful fireworks show on Friday and Saturday nights. Perfect for her birthday getaway.The maintenance man was very helpful when he went to fix an electric issue.Why I can not give Tiki Condos a 5 star rating is because I witnessed employees arguing during my check out, no need for that in front of customers. -

Review 51 (2019-07-28 - Rating: 4)
We had a normal size room and it was decent considering the fact that there was a closet type room that looked like barrack on a military base with a lack of A/C. Its quite a bit of space to take in at first, but after a day youll understand where everything is, I take one star away because the pool is filled with A LOT of chlorine (the pool is quite literally blue), overall our stay was fun and we had a good comfortable place to sleep once we got back from our daily adventure -

Tropical grounds are gorgeous, as are the pools and the unit we stayed in (#105). The staff are amazing and the condo was well equipped, cute and clean. The beach is just steps from your door, not having to drive to the beach is splendid! The local restaurants are affordable and there is plenty to do on the island should you choose to. Great for family vacation, adult get away, fishing weekend; something for everyone! Love SPI and especially love The Tiki condominiums! -

This place is awesome! Great location at a great price. I would have given it a 5 star if it hadnt been for the blasted wristbands that you must wear while staying here. Its made out of a hard plastic, which forms sharp corners when the front desk assistant cuts away the excess. Outside of that, there is ample, close parking and within walking distance to a beach bar. Excellent choice for an extended stay! -

Good Morning from San Antonio, Texas. My husband and I stayed at the Tiki Condominiums in condo 144 on July 7 through the 10th. We had a lovely stay. Aley and Dora were very nice friendly and professional. We had a small issue with the garbage disposal and Lupita took care of it right away. The condo itself was very nice and clean. It had everything you need. They even had a wine type refrigerator.We are looking to go back in June of 2023 for our 50th Wedding Anniversary and stay in condo 230 which is the wedding condo. You have a Ocean view and the sunrise and sunset will be breath taking.Thank you Aley,Dora and Lupita for making our stay very lovely and wanting to go back.Thank you again, Zeke and Rosa Cavazos -

I love the location of The Tiki! When we came it wasnt really crowded and the beach was lovely. Our room was nice and clean, and it is with in walking distance to the Sea Turtle Rescue! The only reason that we gave 4 instead of 5 stars was because of parking. You have to check in between 3-6 pm, which is a very narrow window. One of the things you get at check in is a parking permit for your car, they are very serious about towing. We called to tell them that we were running late for check in ,and asked what we needed to do about the parking pass, they told us they would put it in our room. They didnt, and when we asked the security guard about it when we arrived, he too was unhelpful. The whole first night I was anxious about our car getting towed, it wasnt! If they could iron out that kink they would get 5 stars!! -

This beach front condo was great. The kitchen was recently renovated with upgraded appliances. The location allowed us to truly get the full island experience. We will definitely be going back next year! -

We stayed there for vacation about 3 wks ago, it was perfect! The beach is close by the pools are nice & right outside. The only pblm for us was the going up & down the 3 flights of stairs carrying all of our stuff, we were staying there a week so we had alot. Other than that it was beautiful & room was gorgeous, just like the pictures. -

My family and I have stayed at the Tiki a handful of times over the past 5 years and had nothing but positive experiences. Room 236 is by far my favorite! The view of the beach and gulf are stunning! You will have a perfect view of the sunrise over the gulf from the balcony. This room is basically beach front without paying the beach front price. The room is nicely decorated and has a very comfortable bed and pull out sofa bed. The bathroom looks recently remodeled with a tile shower perfect for rinsing off the sand and salt water. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to make meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.The Tiki itself is a very nice place to stay. The grounds are well landscaped and well kept. The pool is kept at a very comfortable temperature year round, and although it looks a bit dated it was very clean. The private beach access is a nice feature and there is a shower head for rinsing right inside the gate. The Tiki is located at a more quiet end of the island and there was not much traffic or commotion with the exception of a few events at Clayton’s next door. We had very pleasant interactions with all of the staff we encountered and everyone was very helpful.Be sure you know who you are renting from!!! We booked through the Tiki website and were able to use the towel service, laundry, and did not have any hidden fees or charges. We were in the lobby when someone came to complain about not getting fresh towels or maid service, but it was determined by the desk attendant that they had rented from a third party site or from the owner directly and those services were not part of their stay. Be sure to ask about those services ahead of time to avoid confusion. It seems like some of the other negative reviews may be from people that also rented from another source. My family and I will definitely be back, hopefully soon! -

Rented a private unit here through airbnb. This is an older facility, but the unit was very spacious, the staff was friendly and the landscaping and pools were excellent. Get out on the beach early enough and you can rent an umbrella and two chairs already set up for $30 For the whole day. -

It is a reasonably priced location on south padre island. The buildings and grounds are well kept and its proximity to the beach one of its best features. We liked it so much weve been there twice. -

I have one of the most beautiful views on South Padre Island from my balcony. The unit itself needs a little TLC, but is comfortable. The entire complex seems to have issues with the water (hence the 4 stars instead 5). -

We have tried a few condo communities in South Padre and recommend The Tiki especially if you have young kids and visiting in the winter, the two heated pools are a must have and really nice. I just wish there was a way to do towel service for people that didnt rent directly through The Tiki and the laundry wasnt 2.50 and 2.25 respectively. -
