Airport Guide
Compare 4 airports near Galveston
For travel to the coastal city of Galveston, the most convenient entry point is William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), located just 60.16 km away. It serves as a major domestic hub and offers the most efficient ground transportation, with shared shuttles starting at a very affordable price. Travelers arriving at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), located 93.16 km away, have broader international connectivity but face a longer transfer time of 70 to 120 minutes. For those utilizing regional options, Jack Brooks Regional Airport (BPT) at 104.67 km and Lake Charles Regional Airport (LCH) at 177.56 km are less direct, often requiring rental cars as the most reliable transit mode due to a lack of dedicated public transit lines. As a practical tip for all travelers, booking shuttle services or rental cars well in advance is highly recommended, particularly if you are heading to the cruise terminals, as on-demand rideshare pricing can fluctuate significantly during peak travel times. Always check if your chosen shuttle provides drop-off directly at your accommodation or specific cruise terminal.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I've stayed in anywhere. It's like stepping back in time. The room was a bit small, but it was just the two of us so it didn't matter. The bed was very comfortable and well appointed. The shower head system was a bit too complicated and there really wasn't enough pressure for all the different shower heads on it, but I was able to figure it out. Still I would have preferred a simpler shower head.
The lobby, the bar, the pool...everything is beautiful and classy. The new renovations look great!

The San Luis Resort and Spa is the best 8n Galveston PIRIOD!!!! Every time I bring my family we always stay here and every time they exced our expectations. All the stuff is very polite, attentive and always want to go the extra mile for you. On this particular trip we came here because it was my daughter's Nationals Dance Competition as well as her birthday and on top of that my wife's and I Aniversary and when I was doing the check-in I mentioned to Connie at the front desk and she suggested it tonnage something n8ce done for my wife and daughter.. Connie and Camille the concierge took care of everything, they got a dozen of red Roses and Strawberrys cover in chocolate for my wife and a birthday cake and small flower bouquet for my daughter and made me look like the best!!! So thank you so much Connie and Camille you guys are great!!. I wanna thank to all th3 Resort stuff too, the Vallet Parking guys whole were always polite, the waitress lady at the pool. Sorry I didn't get there names but they were great too. I recommend this resort very much.

Tips: Those with balconies are facing the sea sideways, and the floor positions are not ideal. It is recommended to have a high-rise sea view room. Although there is no balcony, a front view of the Gulf of Mexico is still very good.
Evaluation: The front desk service is very good, the hotel parking building 2F directly leads to the front desk, the room facilities are complete, the sanitation is good, the Lexington aircraft carrier is 5KM away from the aircraft carrier, and the South Texas Art Museum designed by Philip Jensen is within walking distance. Very recommended!FromUS$199

The hotel is right by the sea, full of a strong holiday atmosphere. When I left the hotel, I crossed the road to the beach and the sea. At night, I heard the sound of waves beating gently. The breakfast is rich. To take the carnival Cruise, you can park the car at the hotel and have a shuttle to board the boat, which is cheap and convenient. Galveston is a leisurely mini tourist harbour island, there are some attractions worth seeing, and there are attractions maps everywhere on the islandFromUS$162

The room was overall clean, but when the toilet didn't quite smell right (yuck) and when I looked there was evidence that the area under the rim hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. We were happy with the location being a bit out of town for the price. The staff was great, the upfront push to buy a timeshare was expected and only took about 10 minutes of our time. Overall, we'd stay again but ask that our bathroom be cleaned more thoroughly.FromUS$231
