A perfect retreat.

The property and grounds are just as described. Everything was excellent. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and beach. It was great to be away from the busy beaches near the main part of town. The resort has hammocks, charcoal grills and beach wagons.

Excellent Galveston Getaway!!!

The Fiesta Playa condo at the Galvestonian was the perfect place!! The layout of the condo was excellent with two full bedrooms & two full baths, fully appointed kitchen & located on the 7th floor nothing came between your view of the beach & the ocean. The condo is only minutes from the excellent wharf restaurants & the Strand. Peaceful & beautiful…easy check in and checkout, no parking fees required, very safe…just amazing!!! Do yourself a favor and book this awesome place!!!

Perfect location!

We had an amazing weekend and loved every minute! Playa Fiesta is the perfect room, very clean, comfortable furnishings, and excellent views. We had a total of four people and felt we had plenty of space. The host were fantastic and so were the employees at the Galvestonion...they went above & beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to visit again. We will be renting the same unit.

Loved this unit! Really cute space, comfy beds, plenty of supplies. Loved that there are floor fans in each room, too (as well as ceiling fans). We really enjoyed our time there and the pool was especially appreciated by our teenage granddaughters.

Good condo

The condo was very nicely furnished with a colorful beach theme. The balcony has a great view. My only complaint is that there was no closet available in the master bedroom and the closet by the front door had kitchen cleaning supplies in it.

Wonderful Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay, condo is really cute, we loved fun beach vibe, and adored the view from the bedroom and living room- so amazing to wake up and see the Gulf. Loved that we could change pool towels to fresh ones at the reception as many times as we needed. The only unfortunate thing was that there is no laundry/washer/drier on the territory, but we were able to call laundry service. Owners were very fast to reply and really accommodating and allowed us later check out. Overall we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend this condo.

Great time in Galveston

This property was excellent. It was exactly as described, perfect location, great view. The inside was spacious, and clean. The internet was fast and reliable, which was needed as we both had to do some work while on vacation. Being right on the beach, without having to cross Seawall Blvd, was a huge plus. The condo was stocked with plenty of towels and other necessities. This was our 1st trip to Galveston, and we are glad this was where we decided to stay. We are already talking about a return trip, and another stay at this property. Highly recommend.

Great unit at the Galvestonian!

Great unit at the Galvestonian! I LOVE the colors and decorations in this unit! I love the tall patio chairs and having two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are no window coverings so bringing a sleep mask is helpful if you are in rooms with beachside doors. I am a repeat customer and always enjoy my stay!

Galvestonian Greatness!

Four of us stayed at the Galvestonian Playa Fiesta June 2-4 for a girls getaway, and we couldn't have picked a better place! The condo is located within 2-3 miles of the main strip with all of the restaurants, but is in a more quiet, less travelled area. It is charmingly and wonderfully decorated, clean, extremely well stocked (with kitchenware, towels, even beach toys!) and has very comfortable beds. The views from the balcony (and the comfy balcony chairs) are magnificent. The complex has a beautiful lobby, helpful staff, and exceptionally well cared for grounds and amenities! The beachfront setting and private beach are ideal. The pool (huge) and hot tub are fabulous! We didn't want to leave. I would definitely recommend Playa Fiesta, and look forward to our next getaway there! Thank you to the owners for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Playa Fiesta, June 2023

This is my third repeated trip to Galveston to stay in this unit at the Galvestonian. I love the way this unit is decorated and is so colorful! This time I had a couple of issues. A small problem was I could not get in with my things with my keycard, so I had to wait for maintenance to arrive to reset the lock and then I was able to get in. Then that first afternoon I noticed a high-pitched whining sound from the primary bedroom bathroom that happened a couple of times and I called and mentioned it and said I would let them know if it continued. That night starting around 11 PM and throughout the night the sound happened numerous times one after the other. The noise was too loud to sleep through so that was a challenging night. I called in the morning, and they said they would look at it and provide a sound machine which they did. I heard the sound again that afternoon and for the rest of my stay (2 nights) I slept in the bedroom in the front of the unit instead of the primary bedroom. Since I had stayed there before with no issues it was surprising to have this come up and it was not obvious what was making the sound. The unit itself had some nice upgrades from my previous stay. I love the new rugs that were added! Overall, I do enjoy this unit I just had that sound issue this time that really interfered with enjoying my time there. The Galvestonian itself is always a wonderful place to visit!

Overall ok

The condo and the location are nice. However the master bedroom was disappointing for many reasons. First, there is 0 privacy because the door doesn’t have a lock and does not close at all. Second, too bright. They need some serious shading on that room. Third, there was an annoying whistling noise going on every 5 minutes and it was hard to sleep. Also, there is no access to the closet, I don’t know where is a lady to hang out her dresses. The cookware were not clean, found hair on one of the plates and knives were rusted. Management was able to assist with some other issues in a timely manner, which was nice. Spices provided are expired. I might sound dramatic but this was not up to my standards, especially when you’re paying $4000 for my stay. Despite all this, my family and I still had fun and made great memories.
