The La Copa Inn Beach Hotel offers a great waterfront location with easy access to the beach over a pretty wooden walkway. The hotel resembles the local La Quinta Inn, but is slightly more polished. This is a beach hotel for the budget-conscious, with tired hallways and furniture, but a nice outdoor pool with plenty of lounge space. The outstanding feature here is the waterfront location on a popular beach at the southern end of South Padre Island's hotel sprawl. The basic fitness center and small business center are somewhat lackluster, but there's a small snack bar near the swimming pool. Rooms are simple and some offer balconies. While free Wi-Fi and daily breakfast make this hotel great value for the appealing location, some guests complain about wear and tear.

Scene
Budget, beachfront hotel with basic rooms and decent swimming pool
The La Copa Inn Beach Hotel has numerous higher-priced neighbors, but offers some of the same amenities at a fraction of the cost. The result is a budget scene that attracts travelers who want the beachfront location without a hefty price tag. Another hotel is located right next door, although the wide beach in front of the hotel is big enough not to feel overcrowded. This hotel offers a relaxed vibe, from the pretty wooden walkway that leads to the beach over the sandy dunes to the large, semi-circular pool with plenty of lounge chairs. While public areas could use a sprucing up, the hotel does offer a small business center, fitness center, and free breakfast. Budget travelers looking for beach and pool fun -- and not the fanciest room or hotel -- might think La Copa Inn Beach Hotel is a good pick.
