Our take

Who it suits

Resort days on the Seawall, with a spa and a dog park.

Spend the afternoon by the pool, book a treatment in the spa, and walk the dog in the resort's fenced dog park. Conference in town? The convention center is a seven-minute walk. Sailing from Galveston? Terminal 25 is 3.9 miles away. Guests rate it 9.0 out of 10.

  • A spa treatment between beach days
  • Two dogs up to 40 lb, with a dog park
