Deluxe Room, Corner

This is an ocean-view corner room. The resort sits directly across the street from the Galveston Seawall and faces the Gulf of Mexico, so you wake up with the water in sight. At 407 sq. ft., the corner position also gives the room a bright feel, and blackout drapes let you shut out the daylight when you want to sleep in.

The room has 1 king bed with premium, hypo-allergenic bedding plus a single-size sofa bed, so it sleeps up to 4 guests. Two adults will have the king bed, and the sofa bed gives one more person a place to sleep. Up to 2 children aged 17 and younger stay free in a parent's or guardian's room using the existing bedding.

The Deluxe Room, Corner has a private bathroom with a shower/bathtub combination. It comes with bathrobes, free toiletries, a hair dryer and fresh towels, so you can unpack very little and still be comfortable.

You get a 42-inch flat-screen TV with premium channels, a DVD player, an iPod dock and pay movies. There is a coffee/tea maker, free bottled water and a mini-fridge. Free WiFi is available at reported speeds of 50+ Mbps, and there is a desk, free local calls, an iron and ironing board and daily housekeeping. Room service is available 24 hours, and in-room massage can be arranged.

The Deluxe Room, Corner suits couples and small families. The resort describes itself as family-friendly, the room sleeps four, and connecting rooms are available if your group needs more space. Children 17 and younger can stay free (up to two) in the parents' room. Guests under 18 are not admitted to Spa San Luis, so plan spa time for the adults.

The resort charges a mandatory resort fee that bundles fitness center access, pool access, housekeeping, in-room bottled water and coffee, a newspaper and limited spa access. The amount varies by booking channel. Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the property. Pool access is for registered guests, who need to keep their wristband visible.

The resort is directly across from the Galveston Seawall, and Fort Crockett Seawall Park is about a 5-minute walk away. On property there are 2 outdoor pools, including The Cove, a tropical pool with loungers, daybeds and cabanas. The Cove is open Sunday to Thursday 8am to 12am and Friday and Saturday 8am to 2am. Cabanas there are available daily from 9am to 8pm.

The three signature venues are The Steakhouse (AAA Four Diamond, open Tuesday to Saturday evenings, jacket preferred), Grotto for Southern Italian cuisine (closed Tuesday) and Blake's Bistro for comfort food. Blake's is open from 7AM daily and serves a weekend breakfast buffet from 7am to noon on Saturdays and Sundays. For something quick there is Cup + Cone for gelato, pastries and Starbucks beverages. Room service is also available around the clock.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM. The front desk operates 24 hours, and the minimum check-in age is 21. Self-parking and valet are both available for a fee. The nearest airport is Scholes International (GLS), about 2.2 miles away, while Houston Hobby is roughly 41 miles away. The resort does not run a free airport shuttle, but Galveston Express connects the Houston airports with the island. A complimentary shuttle to the cruise ship terminal is offered.
