FAQ:
RESORT / ACCOMMODATIONS QUESTIONS:
1. Do you allow pets? Pets are allowed at the Maravilla Resort. We only allow non vicious, non-vicious breed pets that do not bark. Continual barking will disturb the guest adjacent to your condo and you may be asked to leave. Vicious pets, as precious as many are, will frighten other guests at the resort and present a risk to other guests. Also, our insurance does not allow vicious breeds on premises.
2. How far is the beach at the Maravilla Resort? There is not a swimmable beach in front of the Resort at this time. The Resort is located on the Galveston Seawall, however over the years, the storms have washed away the sand beach and the Ocean is up against the Seawall. You have to walk or drive West exactly 3/4 mile to a swimmable beach. There is ample parking on a concrete lot. There are other nice and less crowded beaches further west as well.
3. I see your condos sleep up to 6 for 1 bedroom and up to 8 for 2 bedroom condos. Can I bring more people? The city fire code does not allow us to have more than the specified number of guests per condo. If you have more guests than the condo accommodates, you should rent an additional condo.
4. Do you supply beach towels? We only supply bath towels. You may purchase beach towels at most of the local shops for $5 to $20 each.
5. Do you allow parties at the Resort? This is a family Resort. Most guests are here to enjoy a quiet and peaceful time with their children. The Resort management does not allow loud music or inappropriate behavior.
6. I see your check in / check out times are 3pm and 11am. Can I check in early, arrive late or check out late? You can arrive as early as you like and enjoy the amenities at the Resort. We will attempt to accommodate reasonable requests for early access to the condo and late check-out. It depends on the guests departing the morning of your arrival and arriving the day of your departure. It usually takes about 2 to 3 hours for our housekeepers to make ready a condo for the next guests so a 2pm check in is possible, but you must have authorization to check in early or check out late. You can only get authorization by texting me (936) 499-3941 THE DAY BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL or DEPARTURE. Verbal authorizations will not be honored because I always tell everyone to text or email me the day prior to arrival or departure. If you want a 10am check in for instance, you should book the night before as well or if you want a 4pm departure, you should book that night as well. The latest checkout time is noon.
7. How do I get a key for the condo? We use KEYLESS door locks. You will not have to obtain a key! You will be given an access code prior to your arrival. Make sure you put my phone number in your speed dial in your phone in case you have problems with the door lock. The front desk for the HOA cannot give you access.
8. What if I have a problem during my stay? You should immediately call me at (936) 499-3941, or my assistant at 281-216-7628. We want your vacation to be stress free and will make every effort to rememdy any issues right away.
9. Do I have to pay $15 per night to park? I have 3 vehicles in my party, what do we do? Yes, the homeowner's association at the Maravilla Resort charges $15 per vehicle per stay. You will be required to pay this one-time $15/ vehicle by check or credit card at the time of your arrival. If you have multiple vehicles, you will have to purchase $15 parking passes for each.
10. Is there parking at the Resort? Yes, there is garage parking at both Resorts. If the garage is full, there is overflow parking in the uncovered areas of the resort. If you have a boat or motorhome, please contact me so we can make arrangements.
11. I will be arriving late. What do I do? You can arrive anytime after 3pm. The condos are self check in. Park and proceed to the condo and use the access code you were assigned to enter the condo. If you arriving extremely late, please try to be quiet so as not to disturb other guests adjacent and below you.
12. Are there grills at the Resort? Yes, there are BBQ grills located near each of the 3 pools. You are absolutely not allowed to use any type of grill on the balconies.
1982 Graduate of LSU, B.S. Mechanical Engineering. Live in the Houston area since 1989. I manage my own properties and offer to you our luxury condos in Galveston. Our condos are new, clean and furnished to help make your vacation to Galveston the best possible. I enjoy helping people enjoy their vacations. For many, their vacation to Galveston in our condos may be something they have been waiting for months and this may be the only vacation they take all year or for years. We want our guests vacations to be worry free and for them to have the perfect accommodations.
The Maravilla is truly a beautiful family resort and arguably the best Resort in Galveston for families to get together. It isn't a high rise resort but instead spread out over a larger area to give a more family friendly feeling. We often have families renting multiple condos from us for family reunions and the feedback we get about the resort is always outstanding and they all want to come back to the Marvilla!
This Galveston Beach Resort and Luxury Condo have everything you need for the perfect family vacation! Just 5 minutes (2.4 miles) to Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Water Park and less than 10 minutes to all other attractions. Heated Pool, hot tub.
Perfect for our family of five. Owner will accommodate whatever needs you have. Place is really nice. When I saw square footage, I was a little afraid of it being too small. Not at all. With layout of condo, it seems much bigger. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!!
Everything was as expected! The place was clean, quiet area, and close enough to all the attractions Galveston has to offer. Everything we needed to prepare meals was available in the kitchen. Washer and dryer a huge plus. Thanks for letting us stay!
The condo was furnished with all basic needs; good location, lots of fun
Everything in our room made it so easy to pickup and continue life as usual but at the BEACH. We were traveling with a 2 year old and he settled in immediately and felt at home also. We were a bit afraid that having to travel down the road to the beach would be inconvenient but it was just great. We found it worked out better because if we needed something we were out and could get it accomplished while out. The only downer for our trip was that it started out cool and rainy but we stayed the complete week and the last few days were awesome. We did all the indoor stuff the first part of the week and stayed outdoors to get plenty of sun at the end. The TV was very nice too, the baby loved getting to see a variety of cartoons and kid stuff I recommend this room for anyone that wants to come to the beach and enjoy the sand, sun & beach, and still have a very nice place to chill in between. Thank You Randy for offering your condo. We were very impressed. Jennie
The condo is appointed and a joy to stay. Well decorated, it is comfortable, spacious and has excellent touches such as washer/dryer, new appliances and comfortable beds. There are really three reasons you want to stay here.
The first is Randy the owner. He is responsive and genuinely concerned about you and your family enjoying their vacation. Sending along a number of questions before our stay, Randy answered quickly and thoroughly. We experienced an issue when we arrived and Randy responded within minutes and had it handled within an hour.
The second is the location. You are close to what is important and away from what is super busy. The gulf is just steps away across Seawall Blvd. Don't want to walk? No problem. Sit on the porch and people watch at the pools or stare into the gulf. The view is excellent. Enjoying the view of the gulf from the patio is delightful and did much to enhance our enjoyment.
The third is the atmosphere, which is family based and relaxing. It was never too noisy and everyone was friendly. The elevator is fantastic to have and luggage carts are provided.
If you are considering staying here, do it now. Just don't pick the dates we'll be returning.
We enjoyed the #323 immensely! Very well appointed. Clean and modern and good location. We'll be back.
