Question &Answer on our South Padre Island Condos & our trips there
Q: SBP Dude, I notice that don't offer standard hotel rooms in Padre, why ?
A: Are you kidding? Our condos are not only the same price or lower than plain-jane hotel room, all of our spring break friendly complexes allow you to bring in your own liquor, and are set up for spring break – not business travelers, not families, and certainly not bitchy old people complaining you're having a few beers or cocktails in your room.
Q: SBP Dude, I see that many of your units cheaper units are mid-beach to North Beach , any reason for that?
A: Sure! Mid-Beach & North Beach units offer you more bang for you buck – IF, and we stress IF you are driving down. While they are not in as great of a location as beach south or mid-beach/south, you'll have your car in Padre, that's why our drive down units are slightly further away. If you are flying down, we do, however recommend only Mid-Beach or Beach South locations, as you won't have a car & need to walk sometimes.
Don't worry, none of our units are as far north as say, the Bahia Mar or La Quinta, which really ARE too far North Beach in our opinion. Mid & North Beach you'll also get bigger units for less money than some condos Beach South. Also, NO OLD FOLKS or FAMILIES! SBP units are in great condition, and provided you've traveled with SBP Tours, are hook up friendly (yes you can bring your spring break hot date back - J)
Q: SBP Dude, why would I go to Padre at all & get a condo with you all?
A: Price, college boys & girls, price! For $200 on up per person total trip price with meals & the condo, you just CANNOT get a cheaper spring break trip! Plus, we're Texans. Damn proud of it, too! We stay out of the UT/OU mess by being NFL fans only! ]
We shake our heads at people booking trips to South Padre without considering if they're booking with Texans – of course we have better condos, parties, & inclusions…we know everyone in South Padre! If you need a recommendation of SBP Tours from the South Padre Island Mayor, give us a call, and we'll put you in personal touch with our friend & current Mayor Bob Pinkerton. It doesn't get any better!
Q: SBP Dude, I know all of your Padre trips include restaurant meals, some party beverages, etc. but I've seen some other travel websites with more meals, or hundreds of dollars in “Free Stuff” advertised – why don't you give away $400-$600 in free stuff with your trips???
A: Hell, we thought you were in College! Any reasonable person knows that you can't pay $200 for a trip, and get $400-$600 back in free stuff – duh, that means you'd lose money on the trip. We're not the church, we need to make some profit, too. Our answer is, read the fine print OR even better, try to get it all in writing prior to booking your trip. What they are giving away has zippo value, as in nada, or NONE at all! If everything is free or discounted it is garbage.
For example, we've seen websites with “Free Express Entry for 14 hours” being worth $40. To us, not only does this look like you'll get into the club for free (which you won't by the way…it's just that you get to skip some imaginary line at the exact same club every single night - boring), but you won't get in free--- you skip a line to pay a cover – that's not our kind of VIP I'd say -- Come on! They even say that being in business for 10 years is worth some sort of dollar figure value wise to their clients…don't get fooled by all the bologna…if it sounds too good to be true, it is!
Q: SBP Dude, what/where are your free restaurant meals at?
A: Easy, go to our South Padre landing page, and click on Meal Plans here: http://www.springbreakpackages.com/mealplans.html
Not only does it list all of the restaurants & actual menu items, we feel we've done an excellent job of providing a reasonable selection of low-calorie, low-carb, or low-fat menu choices. Eating fast food is not for us, nor is eating hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza in some buffet line a credible meal….that's just plain sick & gross!
Also…SBP Tours has exclusive, long term contracts with its restaurants. If you see our meals or restaurants elsewhere, that website is just reselling the SBP package or falsely advertising its package inclusions. Book it direct, and save yourself the trouble.
Q: SBP Dude, why does SBP charge for its VIP Red Carpet Party Packages for Padre?
A: Well, you get what you pay for darlin'! We could give away so-called “VIP Parties” at no charge as well, if we were sending you to a bar or club with no students there partying,
OR with no cover charge! The BEST clubs in Padre ALWAYS have a cover during spring break. By the way, we can also 100% guarantee you this much…SBP parties & events have the most expensive cover charges any night in South Padre during spring break – our parties are so packed, we have to charge a cover charge to some how control the crowds.
Our #1 spring break party program there is the reason why, you'll party with MTV celebrities, walk a real red carpet, and have a true VIP line with no wait & cover due at the door. We only use biggest, best clubs in South Padre for spring break. Plus, with SBP Tours, you'll get to choose two of four killer events. We don't hide our party schedule, or have a “to be determined” schedule of events – because we are very proud of what we offer! You can read more about this by clicking here:

Finally, you can always be that guy or girl that thinks they can do better off on their own --- well, you sure can…you can wait in our party lines like every other chump, or be glad you found our party package offerings to have it all put together before you ever get there. Since SBP brings the most college students to South Padre for spring break, and since we specialize in it, it's super easy for us to demonstrate that our parties are hands-down the biggest on the island.

Q: SBP Dude, I really want an all inclusive hotel package in South Padre, why don't you offer one?
A: That's easy – they are a complete rip off in South Padre, as you have a full kitchen in your condo, & you can bring in your own liquor. Provided you are willing to go to your fridge & crack open a cold one, that party beverage that you brought in is super cheap --- why pre-pay for drinks at a hotel when you can mix your own in your room, or cook your own food, or eat at our free restaurant meals? All inclusive in South Padre is a joke, and not a good value, just a way for hotels to make money on you.
Q: SBP Dude, your price seems fair – but I keep running across these “low price” guarantees of if you find a lower price they pay you extra money back, how come you don't offer that program?
A: Easy, it's a scam. They offer you a low price, then do one of two things, a.) they tack on a bunch of hidden fees they don't tell you about when you book , or b.) they charge you a “security & fuel surcharge” of as much as $70 on flight / airfare inclusive vacations two weeks before your trip that they don't bring up when you book the trip. We say this: if you're considering such scammers, just try to get them to put into writing a 100% money back guarantee, that if they charge you & your group a fuel surcharge before you travel, you get a 100% refund of ALL OF your trip monies --- which of course they will not. Fuel surcharges on a scheduled air flight to any valley regional airport ( South Padre Island ) is not only a scam, it's illegal unless the airline charged that tour operator the fuel surcharge (which NO SCHEDULED AIRLINE has ever done to South Padre). We 100% guarantee that if you book a trip to South Padre with SBP Tours, you will NOT have a fuel surcharge!
Some of the hidden fees that come up to you & your groups surprise when you get to Padre are the:
*Hotel & Security Wristband fee ($25)
*Refundable Damage Deposit ($50)
TOTAL: $75 when you arrive, when you've only spent maybe $300 is a big deal if it's sort of tucked away in the fine print. At SBP, we pre-collect all of these fees/trip monies.
Last but not least, we don't want to be a “discounter” or “wholesale” or “the cheapest possible” --- we like quality. We wear nice clothes, eat good food, and take nice vacations. We want our travelers to have the same quality experience – we owe it to you, and you owe it to you & your group to provide quality.
