Frequently asked
questions.
Rooms and check-in, the venue and catering, booking and the water. If your question is not here, we are glad to answer it.
Rooms and your stay
What types of rooms do you offer?
We have 23 rooms in three types: Standard King, ideal for couples or solo travelers; Standard Double, with two full beds for friends or small families; and the Deluxe King Room, our most spacious room. Every room has a private exterior entrance, so you can come and go at your own pace.
What is included in my room?
Every room has a private entrance, individual climate control, a flat-screen TV with satellite, high-speed WiFi, a coffee and tea maker, a refrigerator (mini in standard rooms, full-size in the Deluxe Suite), a private bath with shower, toiletries, a hairdryer, and parking at the door. You are a short walk from the restaurant, the bar, and the pool.
How does check-in work?
Check-in is after 4:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Check-in is self-serve: a welcome message with your door code and arrival details arrives on the day you check in. Early check-in and late check-out are sometimes available for a fee when arranged in advance.
Are you pet-friendly?
Pets require owner approval before booking, and approval is not guaranteed. Please confirm whether your selected room can accommodate your pet and the applicable fee before making a reservation. Fees may vary by breed, age, and weight. Pets must be leashed and under your control in common areas. Service animals are welcome at no charge and are exempt from pet restrictions.
Can I book the entire property?
A full-property arrangement can bring hotel accommodation and event space into one plan. Contact our events team to discuss dates, room availability, exclusive access, and pricing for your group.
Do you have accessible rooms?
Yes. We have ADA-accessible rooms with suitable bathroom facilities, wider doorways, and accessible parking near the entrance and the venue. Please note your needs when you book so we can prepare the right room.
Is there parking for boats and trailers?
Yes. We provide guest parking plus dedicated areas for boat trailers, first come first served during peak season. On tournament weekends, contact us in advance so we can plan for your setup.
Events at The Landing
How large is The Landing?
The Landing offers indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. The right guest count depends on your occasion, seating arrangement, and the space needed for dining, entertainment, or a dance floor. Contact our events team with your plans so we can discuss a suitable layout, available spaces, and capacity for your event.
What types of events do you host?
Weddings and receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate events and retreats, fishing tournament weigh-ins and banquets, milestone birthdays and anniversaries, retirements, holiday parties, and family reunions.
What is included with venue rental?
Exclusive use of your space for the contracted hours, tables and chairs in standard configurations, professional setup and coordination, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, guest parking, kitchen access, and the waterfront view. Catering, bar, and planning are available to complete the picture.
Do you provide catering?
Yes. Our in-house catering runs from plated dinners to casual spreads, with six entrees, a kids menu, and accommodations for dietary needs given about two weeks notice. You may bring an outside caterer with a facility use and coordination fee.
Can we bring our own alcohol?
Texas law and our TABC license require all alcohol to be served through our licensed bar. You can choose a full open bar, drink tickets, a cash bar, or a custom package. Every option includes TABC-certified bartenders.
Do you offer event planning?
Yes, at three levels: day-of coordination, partial planning, and full-service planning. Our planners know the property and its vendors well, which keeps waterfront events calm.
How far in advance should we book?
For weddings and peak weekends, six to twelve months is wise. Corporate and off-season dates are more flexible. For fishing tournaments, reach out as soon as your dates are set so we can help with lodging and space together.
On the water and nearby
What is there to do on site?
Fishing from the marina or the shore, the waterfront pool for guests, lawn games on the patio, live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, the sports bar with house-smoked plates, and a vendor market on the first Sunday of each month.
Tell me about the fishing.
Baffin Bay is a short run from the marina. Speckled trout, redfish, black drum, and flounder, by wade, kayak, or boat. Our team can point you toward local guides, tackle, and the best spots for current conditions.
What water sports are available?
Kayaking and paddleboarding on the calm shallows, and kiteboarding, since Corpus Christi has among the most rideable wind days in the continental US. Rentals are available through local outfitters, and the front desk can help coordinate.
What attractions are nearby?
Bob Hall Pier is 12 miles away, Mustang Island State Park 14 miles, Padre Island National Seashore a little beyond, and Port Aransas 29 miles. Downtown Corpus Christi is 25 to 30 minutes.
Booking, payment, and policies
What is your cancellation policy?
For standard-rate hotel reservations, cancellations within 14 days of arrival and no-shows are charged for the full stay. Earlier cancellations follow the rate terms shown at booking. Non-refundable rates require full payment when booked and cannot be cancelled, changed, or refunded. Review the terms displayed when booking and in your confirmation. Event cancellations follow your separate Event Agreement.
What are check-in and quiet hours?
Check-in is after 4:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Quiet hours run from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM out of respect for other guests.
Is smoking allowed?
Rooms and indoor spaces are non-smoking. Smoking is allowed in designated outdoor areas only. A cleaning fee applies for smoking in rooms.
How do deposits and payment work?
Lodging is paid according to your booking terms. Events take a 50 percent deposit to hold the date, with the balance due before the event. We do not charge resort fees; any mandatory fees are shown at booking.
Where we are
Where are you, and how do I get there?
We are at 4226 Laguna Shores Road, in the Flour Bluff area of Corpus Christi, at the end of a quiet coastal road. It is about 25 to 30 minutes from downtown and 32 minutes from the airport.
What makes the Laguna Madre special?
It is one of six hypersaline lagoons on Earth: shallow, clear, and rich with life. The fishing next to Baffin Bay is strong, and the Central Flyway brings birds twice a year. Read the Laguna Madre Legacy for the longer story.
Are you on the beach?
We are on the water, the Laguna Madre, rather than a sandy Gulf beach. Many guests prefer the calm, clear shallows. For Gulf sand, Mustang Island is about 14 miles away.
Ask us anything we missed.
We answer within a business day, and we would rather you ask than wonder.
