Slide open your balcony doors, bask in the fragrant sea breeze, and gaze out at the beach and the Gulf of Mexico from this elegant studio at the San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center. It's the perfect place to soak up the sun in Galveston, with two outdoor pools, sundecks, tennis and pickleball courts, firepits, and multiple on-site restaurants available to you.

The San Luis is a gulf-front property located right on Seawall Boulevard, with the open beach about 100 yards across the street.

Every essential - and then some - is provided, from central air conditioning and heating to a compact but well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Enjoy a table that can double as a dining space and a workspace, and both a TV and complimentary WiFi for your evening entertainment.

5/5 stars because we love this property and location. However we probably won’t be back due to size. I didn’t realize it was a studio when booking for a family of 4. It was tight—best for a couple! My only complaint is the San Luis Condominium internet is poor. We were unable to stream our game and had to watch on our phones which wasn’t great based on what we paid for our stay. The property amenities is why my family loves this spot! The pool and food/drinks are such a fun vibe, walking distance to Landry’s for dinner, and 11 minute walk to Kroger/Starbucks for goodies and morning coffee.

Not a great experience

The condo was clean but like the other reviews it was very small. However, The resort is awesome!I gave 2 stars because of my experience during my stay. I stayed at the condo for 2 weeks. The owner of condo would not supply me with additional clean towels or toilet paper. I was given 4 or 6 towels to begin with and 2 rolls of toilet paper. When I contacted the owner they said that was their policy not supply additional amenities. I had to go to the store and purchase laundry detergent, dryer sheets and toilet paper. Needless to say I had to do laundry while I was on vacation. Just not a great experience at all.

40th Anniversary Celebration!

We spent our 40th Anniversary weekend here and couldn’t have been more pleased! The condo was very clean and the bed was very comfortable! The view was great: the beach, the pool, the activities on the lawn below including the kids movie nights and the Rainforest Cafe volcano spewing fire at night! Amenities were perfect and easy to access! Wonderful weekend!
