We visited Moody Gadens over Memorial Day Weekend. Check in was quick and they gave the kids a goody bag with goggles, coloring book , and a beach ball. I thought this was a nice personal touch. The hotel pool is nice but nothing special. There is no lifeguard on duty just a towel person yelling at the kids over... More

Checked in Saturday May 26th without a problem. Bell hop Scott was GREAT! Had a Moody Garden family pass so received a nice discount on the total hotel bill. They have a wonderful golf cart that will run you around the property for free. We rode it back and forth between the hotel and pyramids. The pool was wonderful as... More

I've stayed at Moody Gardens a few times. Great time for the family, within walking distance from the attractions. If you stay here before you leave on a Cruise you can park your car for free and they will transport you to and from the ship. Service is great and it's very well mantained. Nice balcony with an excellent view.

Great staff at this facility make up for some small deficits. My friends and I were staying at the marina, which is a bit neglected. But beyond that things were top shelf. Check in staff were excellent and anticipated our needs, including detergent for the laundry. Happy hour in the bar and pool were very good. Dinner at Sherns was... More

A friend and I stayed a night at Moody Gardens to relax and enjoy some mommy downtime. Self parking was non-existent on the weekends, so I strongly recommend using valet parking. $18 (a little pricey) will allow you to come and go as many times as you like and great service from the valet guys who were quick and very...

We like to suggest to hotel guest ~ sit back and relax in style! And it sounds like you did just that. We are pleased to read pool service was great. . . . is it possible your beverages were served poolside or at the swim-up bar? You mentioned kids everywhere at Palm Beach ~ during the summer kids love... More

My husband and I stayed here in April while he was participating in a convention that was being held at the hotel. His company actually paid for the room, so I can't speak to price for the average person. However, I have gone with him to convention hotels before and this was one of the best we have stayed in....

We agree the beds were needing to be replaced. Last week we actually started to replace all beds in the hotel with new Sealy mattresses. All the new comfortable beds will be in place by Memorial Day weekend. We have been getting great positive feedback on the new ones. I hope you come back once they have been all changed... More
