I just came in for drinks and was delighted to meet Leyyizon at valet that took great care of my friends and I. We talked with him for a little bit after we were leaving and he really brought the experience from a 9 to an 11. Definitely coming back!

Staying at this resort is one of the best experiences I have ever had. The front desk personnel is top notch, the wait staff and bartenders are top notch, the housekeeping staff is top notch. The customer service practiced by the staff of this hotel, is unmatched and unrivaled. I was truly spoiled by my time here, and I can't wait to come back in May. Last but certainly not least, the Valet's, Reed Wettman and Bobby Wilson are customer service personified. They were very attentive and diligent when it came to taking care of my vehicle and giving me information about places to visit on the island. You guys should all give yourselves a pat on the back. These folks know how to take care of their guests. I love this place, and will make it my home away from home, whenever I visit Galveston Island.

I took my 11 year old son in for a hair cut and wash. This was his first experience at a salon, and he is ready for his next appointment. Annette made my son feel so special , he was so relaxed , and he loved his hair wash and scalp treatment. Annette was very informative every step of the way . She gave me great tips for his hair that we will be implementing immediately. If you want someone who goes above and beyond and who is very knowledgeable go see Annette!!!

The valet guys really hustled to keep the cars flowing. They were all great but shout out to Reed Wettman for going above and beyond. Hotel was nice, a bit over priced but expected with spring break. Rooms were clean, comfy beds, drinks and food were good. Front desk was pleasant too.

My experience at the San Luis Spa was absolutely perfect. Navisa gave the best massage I’ve had in thirty years and the entire staff was extraordinary. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the amenities were spot on. I can’t wait to return again soon.

Been gone just over a year, way too long. The high quality of the resort and the staff is still in place. Loved the penthouse floor. First meal at The Grotto. Brandie and Esta took great care of us. Love Vic & Anthony’s Crab cakes and tomato basil soup. You must try the fried mozzarella , delicious!. Next meal in The Steakhouse. John Paul, Jerid and Lazar took great care of us. We had the lobster bisque soup, crab fingers and Chilean Sea Bass. Finished with a small birthday desert celebrating number 69. Next was lunch in Blake’s Bistro with Oscar. We had the Asian Salad. Huge and great tasing salad. Nights were bar time. Many thanks to Haley and the bar crew-Ethan, Liberty, Alina, Marisa, Danny and Jordan. John at The Cove makes a great Bloody Mary. Thursday night music with Taylor Lauryn was a special treat. Little more 60s and Rat Pack please. Can’t go wrong with the classics. Breakfast on the way out with Martin in the Bistro. Classic Breakfast is so big we almost needed a larger table! My first time using valets and it won’t be my last. Too easy! Finally a big welcome back up Simon Randolph and Bianca. See all of you in September!

I went to the spa and had a wonderful massage. I left feeling so refreshed and relaxed! Might be the best massage I’ve ever had!! I would definitely recommend Gabby. She was wonderful! She used the right amount of pressure and helped relieve the tension in my shoulders and lower back.

Going to the Lobby Bar at The San Luis is our favorite weekly ritual. We enjoy the ambiance, food, & people. The atmosphere & decor are special, all meals are cooked to perfection, & the staff is outstanding. John Paul is by far the best manager ever & Liberty & Melvin are great mixologists! We always have a special night to remember!

Just had the best massages in Galveston at the San Luis Spa and Hotel with therapists Shalanda and Terry. I have had a lot of different massages in my lifetime and they are true experts at their job! I felt so relaxed and revived afterwards; not sore although they worked through all my stress. The front desk staff Cindy and Kortney were super nice and accommodating. They arranged another 80 minute massage the day after the first one when they only had 50 minute time slots available. I look forward to coming back again very soon! It is worth every single penny.
