We stayed in unit 104. My husband and I had our daughter and grandchildren with us. The decor was so dated, and there wasn't any beach motif. I felt like I was in some midwestern home where elderly people live. The shower stall in the small bathroom was so tiny it was uncomfortable to move around in. The twin beds... More

We stayed in unit 135, very nice and it has washer and dryer. Second time staying at The Villas. I forgot my wallet and some other items of value and the housekeeper turned them in and Office manager called to notify me about it. They will be mailing items on Monday. Thank You El Cortez! They also allowed us to... More

Nice location, beach is a short walk away. Pools are clean, but small. Need update and paint, ceiling has crack and paint is falling off. Didn't have enought towes. Day receptionist was nice, late afternoon receptionist was rude.

Stayed this past weekend with some friends. It is a bit away from town, and apparently you cannot drive a golf cart to it because it's on 361 and it's prohibited. Older condo complex, but the pool was clean and the place was safe. The unit we rented was nicely decorated. Bit of a hike to the beach, so make... More

Unit #205 is Super large. The one bedroom is as large as a two bedroom so you have plenty of room to move around. New washher and dryer. There are two decks and one is very large so the kids can play while we watched TV. The place was decorated with bright colors and it felt like home. We loved... More

We liked: Washer and dryer in unit. Comfortable bed. Boogie boards in closet. Did not like: air conditioning being turned off before our arrival so that it took all night for the place to cool down, 15 minute walk to the beach up a long sidewalk / no beach view, furniture that is rusty and unstable, toilet didn't always flush....

My sister and best friend met me in Corpus Christi and drove over to the 'island.' we rented a condo called El Cortez Villas which we knew of by word of mouth. It was very affordable, especially with 3 sharing, very clean and comfortable. I made sure to go AFTER Spring break was over. We had housekeeping service and really... More

Upon arrival I was given the keys to 203, we entered and discovered that the room had two full beds in the master and the one I reserved had a king bed. I went back to the office and complained that they gave me the wrong room. The lady explained that she had called me back the day I reserved... More

We just spent a weekend at the El Cortes Villas in Port Aransas, and it was wonderful, everything we hoped for. It was just my husband and myself and we stayed in a one bedroom unit. I will admit that the facility is somewhat dated, certainly not luxurious, but definitely spacious and comfortable. Both the living room and bedroom had... More

We have been staying at this place for over 10+ years and the past few years that we have stayed have not been pleasant experiences. Rooms with old food in the beds and in between couches, ants in the room, a TV that caught on fire and we had to use the fire extinguisher, and rude service. When we complained... More
