Located right off the main highway that runs through town to Padre Island, this casual two-story hotel is hidden behind a wall of low palm trees that gives it a quiet garden atmosphere. The standard rooms include two queen beds and space for a crib or rollaway. For more space, connecting rooms are available. Kids can cool off in the small outdoor pool, while parents can soak sore muscles in the hot tub. Other amenities include a microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker. The free breakfast is small, but filling. There are plenty of restaurants up and down the highway if you want something bigger.

The Best Western Paradise Inn is located in the southern reaches of Corpus Christi, making it convenient to drive out to nearby Padre Island. The attractions of the island begin just 10 miles from your hotel. Kids will love seeing the new water park, but will get an even bigger thrill when they spot the Gulf of Mexico and the miles of natural beaches along the coast. Make the short drive down the island to the National Seashore Visitors Center where you can sign your children up for their junior ranger program. Stop at the beautiful Malaquite Beach for a picnic and beachcombing. Back in town, your hotel is only 20 minutes from downtown Corpus Christi and its wide range of museums, shops, restaurants, and public beaches. With its convenient location and budget rates, the Best Western Paradise Inn is a good choice for your family vacation to Corpus Christi.
