Tropic Island Resort - A coastal retreat with heated saltwater pools, RV sites, and beach cottages
Located less than a mile from Port Aransas' natural shoreline, Tropic Island Resort spans two campuses with premium RV sites, hotel rooms, cottages, and bungalows. This three-star Port Aransas hotel features heated saltwater pools, hot tubs, and shaded canopies on both north and south campuses. The property includes fully-equipped cottages with kitchens, air-conditioned hotel rooms with cable TV, and RV sites offering full hookups. Guest amenities encompass a fish cleaning house, dog park, event centers, bathhouses, and golf cart rentals through Peyton's Beach Carts. The resort sits 43.5 miles from Corpus Christi International Airport and provides walking distance access to local restaurants and shopping centers. Tropic Island Resort positions guests near Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center and the five-mile coastline of Mustang Island State Park.
Pros
Two separate campuses each feature their own pool, bathhouse, and event center
Pet-friendly accommodations available in select rooms and dedicated dog park on north campus
Specialized facilities including fish cleaning house and indoor storage units
Direct access to birding trails and nature preserves
Cons
43.5 miles distance from nearest international airport
Golf carts required for beach access
“Tropic Island Resort welcomes guests and their pets to cottage-style accommodations near Port Aransas Beach and Mustang Island State Park; two heated saltwater pools and on-site golf cart rentals make getting around easy. I note some rooms could use updating and some guests have mentioned noise; however, the resort's focus on families and recreational activities makes it a solid base for exploring the area.”
