What's nearby

  • A view of Aransas Pass from the Port Aransas side. At sunset, go get a pizza and watch the ships pass through and dolphins swim nearby. So much to see, and a very relaxing spot. Stay until after dark so that you can hear the dolphins pop up for air in the nearby waters. It's also a great fishing spot.

I thought the room was roomy and comfortable. Best hotel air conditioner ever by far! Was great that the owner lived on site and the hotel had such a warm family feel. Would have preferred more water pressure and a plug on both sides of the bed.

Comfort Stay

Rooms are update and clean. Very comfortable bed, I like the convenience of parking in front of your room. Very friendly front desk lady. The only thing I didn't like was a $125 hold on your bank acct. that was like a week. A day or two would have been fine, but really a week!

We really enjoyed our stay at Shark Reef. We hope to come back again and try the cottages out. Our room was neat and clean, gave plenty of room for us and the AC worked REALLY well, haha. The courtyard is neat and clean and offers many different activities. The staff was outstanding, courteous, friendly and super helpful. They're a huge part of the reason we'll be coming back here. Plus their prices were excellent!
