Très bien, mais trop cher pour ce qu'en... - Amelia's Landing Hotel

Hi William,

Thanks for the 4-star rating -- we appreciate it! (Watch our Facebook page for specials that help to reduce the price of a room which, by our research, is quite a bit cheaper than any chain motel in Port Aransas.)

The stark reality of owning a motel on an island in the Gulf of Mexico is that everything here is more expensive. As you can imagine, our Windstorm Insurance alone is breath-taking, as is our property tax. In reality, we actually lose money 7 out of every 12 months here, and the prices in the summer must reflect that. Without them, we would not survive for long.

We do keep prices quite a bit more moderate than the chains. Last night, for example, there was a motel in town advertising a room for $522/night. Our price (we were sold out) was $219/night for our largest room.

And they won't deliver breakfast to your room! :-)

In the winter, that same room will go for just $89/night, and often sit empty. We also offer monthly rates in the winter of just $800 per MONTH, so you can see the amazing difference between the seasons.

I hope this helps to explain the difference!
