Grand Galvez

The pool area was fantastic, and the swim-up bar was one of our favorite spots to relax. The hotel bar was equally impressive with great drinks, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

The highlight of our stay was the spa. We booked a couples massage, and it was absolutely incredible—easily one of the best spa experiences we’ve had. The staff was professional, attentive, and made the entire experience feel luxurious and relaxing.

As a fun side note, our room was located next to the famous haunted Room 501. While we didn’t experience any ghostly encounters (and honestly weren’t exactly seeking them out!), it added a little extra intrigue to our stay and gave us a good story to tell.

The service throughout the hotel was exceptional, and every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. Whether you’re visiting for the history, the beach, the spa, or just a relaxing getaway, the Grand Galvez is a true Galveston treasure. We can’t wait to return.

Spa was lovely. Pool with cabana was fabulous. Worth the splurge to reserve a cabana. Everyone, guests and employees are friendly and fun.

They have a little part of the beach, that strictly for the hotel. Room service until 11pm. They bring drinks from the bar. NICE!

If I was going to be picky, the only downside was that the selection of TV programs to watch is limited
Also, in my room, not my friends, the outlets near the bed, where you'd want to plug in your phone charger, well, they were wonky. The plug just fell out. There was one that worked across the room on the desk though.

Overall, this place is too wonderful and charming to pass up. Already planning a future visit.

Bad: Low water pressure. Toilet was up against wall. Valet jumped into my car (while husband was checking in) without so much as a warning and moved my car (while I was in passenger seat reading), scared me half to death and felt in danger for a brief moment. Restaurant on site could be better.
