Spring Break on South Padre Island, Texas: Tips for College Students Booking Trips

We are going to provide you with some simple, easy to follow tips when you are considering booking your college spring break travel package to South Padre Island, Texas to make your trip not only more affordable, but much better.

1.) Consider driving
2.) Look at condos instead of hotels
3.) Price complete spring break packages with a Tour Operator instead of doing it yourself
4.) Book Early
5.) Think quality over price

First of all, Consider Driving to South Padre Island for spring break.

The ever-increasing jet fuel prices have driven up the cost of an airline ticket to as much as $500 per person round trip. If you put 6 people in a full size SUV,
your per person cost can often times come under $100 each for roundtrip fuel & an oil change. While less convenient, saving $400 per person might be the cost for your accommodations, meals, and party cover charges for the whole week --- plus a road trip is an adventure in and of itself!

Secondly, Look at condos instead of hotels. Condos in South Padre Island typically can hold a much larger amount of people, driving down the cost of the accommodations since you are splitting it evenly amongst more people. Additionally, condos have full kitchens (you can make simple meals to save you even more money), they let you bring in your own alcohol so you don't have to buy expensive pool drinks, and are often times about as nice as Presidential Suite in many hotels. Some condos to consider in South Padre Island are Inverness, Galleon Bay, and Saida Towers -- all very popular spring break locales.

Next, Price complete spring break packages with a Tour Operator instead of doing it yourself.
