When travelling, most people would want the best for themselves and their loved ones, and would choose to stay in 5-star hotels. South Padre Island is known for their luxurious and beautiful 5-star resorts; but what if I told you that 3-star hotels on the island offer the same, if not better, amenities and experience for a fraction of the price?
Although 5-star hotels are definitely a luxurious option, they come with a much higher price tag. For example, the average price for a 5-star hotel on South Padre Island is around $400 per night, whereas the average price for a 3-star hotel is around $125 per night.
So why choose a 3-star hotel over a 5-star? Well, 3-star hotels often offer the same amenities as 5-star resorts, such as pools, on-site restaurants, and beach access. In addition, 3-star hotels are typically much more spacious than their 5-star counterparts, and offer more privacy.
At the end of the day, it’s up to the individual to decide what’s best for them, but I urge you to consider staying in a 3-star hotel while visiting South Padre Island – you might be surprised at what you find!.
