We go to Port Aransas every summer with some friends of ours. We used to stay at the Mayan Princess every year, but we had a couple of bad experiences with outdated condos and cleanliness issues. The last 3 years we stayed in VRBO homes in the area, instead of the condo. The homes tend to be much nicer and better cared for. This year (2022) I was unable to find a home that suited us, so we decided to try the Mayan Princess again. We stayed in the newly remodeled RM 505. It was absolutely impeccable!!! We have stayed at this condo MANY times over the last 15-20 years. RM 505 is hands down the best one we have ever stayed in. It was spotless, and beautifully decorated. Beautiful lighting, really comfortable beds, couches and chairs. Gorgeous bathrooms, heavy quality doors on all the bedrooms and shower. I loved the coffee bar in the master suite, that was a brilliant idea. And did I say it was spotless?? Whoever remodeled this place did a fantastic job. We have always encountered some coastal roaches anywhere we stay in Port Aransas, it just comes with the territory but NOT this year, not a single bug or spec of dirt anywhere. I can not say enough positive things about this condo room. We were all blown away with how nice it was, and will definitely stay here again. I know this is a new listing and that is partially why it was so clean. I sure hope future guests respect the work that went into making RM 505 beautiful, and help keep...
Read moreNice, clean quiet beach and more private than if you stayed directly on North Padre Island or Port Aransas. Mustang Island is less busy. There aren’t any restaurants or stores to walk to, but it’s a quick 10 minute drive. The front desk is nice and a few hotel like amenities are provided. Make sure you have coffee on hand because there may not be any. I found cream and sugar though and a few pantry condiments left behind.
The bathroom spa is amazing and fits four small people cross legged or two adults comfortably. Unless they have special handicapped bathrooms, the bathroom and shower combo jacuzzi are not suitable for people who can’t walk up three stairs to get into. Use the railing as one can easily slip.
The pool area for wheelchair use accommodates riding through; however only stairs to get to the actual beach sand. I don’t see a wheelchair lift for the pool, so ask about that.
The condo we stayed in, unit 108, was very nice and beachy. It sleeps up to six people. The king size bed has a firm mattress and was very comfortable for...
Read more5 Stars – Perfect Family Getaway! Our family had a fantastic stay at this vacation rental over the holiday weekend! The condo was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. We especially loved the balcony—it was the perfect spot to enjoy our morning coffee with a view.
The beach was beautiful and just a short walk away. We did spot quite a few jellyfish this time of year, so something to be mindful of, but it didn’t take away from the experience. The pools on the property were a big hit with our family and a great alternative when we wanted to cool off without the waves.
The location was ideal—peaceful and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, but still a convenient drive to both Port Aransas and Corpus Christi. It gave us the best of both worlds.
The only minor downside was a musky odor in the condo, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker and everything else more than made up for it. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a relaxing...
