    This is a review and evaluation of the catering service provided by Christi May 2016 for a catered…read morebachelorette party in Rockport, TX. Overall, Christi was enthusiastic, but provided a service far below expectations. This is honest feedback I will go through each event and expectation individually. The agreed upon service was full service catering from 7-9pm with a menu agreed upon by both parties. Short Summary - Christi showed up over an hour late with notice only after the event should have started, needing help with set up and clean up, we did not receive 2/3 of the agreed upon menu (some things broke/spilled in transit, some were forgotten, some not even attempted, the carpet needed to be cleaned after chicken juice was spilled from front door to kitchen on white carpet, untimely disruption of the event during food preparation to ask opinions. Dinner served 2.5 hrs late. Cookies stained mouth black, "Specialty drinks" unable to be consumed by most due to taste. All the unopened left over food and drinks were taken home by the caterer. Christi was open to receiving feedback. We agreed on a refund, and less than 1/4 of that refund was paid after an extended amount of time. I do not recommend her for any event. Menu Summary - Unsatisfied with 6 out of 9 menu items; 4 of 9 menu items were not served at the event, 2 of 9 items were completely inedible (candy and martinis); 1 food item left an undesirable effect (cookies staining mouth black) The purpose of hiring a professional catering service is to free myself and my guests from food preparation and cleanup of dinner to be served at an agreed upon time. We helped to unload the car (we volunteered to do this to help speed up service since you were running over an hour late), we were free from helping to prepare, then we helped with clean up so we could get to our next event since the catering service ended an hour and a half after expected time. Several other areas of dissatisfaction is that during our gift shower: I. She tried to get my attention while the bride was opening gifts. The part that upset me about this was that she tried to call me to the kitchen while the bride was opening my gift. This took away from my moment with the bride, and left the bride feeling uncomfortable and interrupted. I felt that we were rushed to eat, and put onto the food's schedule instead of the food being on our schedule due to the tardiness of the beginning of the service. II. The container with the chicken was leaking, and left a stain of flavored chicken juice on the carpet from the entry of the house, up the stairs, and partially to the kitchen. Now we are left to not only assist in kitchen clean up, but now we need to have the carpets cleaned due to the orange drip trail left by you, the caterer. III. The leftovers purchased for our party with our money were not left for us. While the opened leftovers remained in our possession, a handle of rum and the remaining bags of unopened chips were not found after she had left. It is my understanding that these things were purchased with the money given to her before the party and therefore should have remained in our possession even if they were not opened at the party. Save yourself stress and find another caterer!

The pluming was clogged and making a mess in the courtyard, they never restocked the beer and said all the beer they had was from the prior event they had, and they never answer the phone or messages during the whole process of the hire, no security at any door no valet parking and they charged for that overall so bad.

    I got married here in January of 2025, from start to finish my experience was horrible…read more Starting off I met Danielle and booked the venue with her, we talked about my vision, colors, décor, food and drinks etc. After paying the initial downpayment I attempt to contact her about 6 times with no response. I knew exactly what I wanted and was ready to do all the planning. I heard nothing from her for 4 months!!!!! Finally, after 4 months of attempting contact, one day she finally texts me back. We meet at the venue and she is visibly pregnant. She proceeds to tell me she is due the week of my wedding and will not be my wedding coordinator moving forward. We are then introduced to Kelly, ..... Kelly is unable to pour a glass of wine, carry a glass of wine, or a conversation. My husband, parents, and I have to repeat everything we have told Danielle twice now. While the first impression is horrible, I have hope that AT LEAST Kelly might respond to texts. Moving forward Kelly is also difficult to communicate with, she is more responsive to texts. Unfortunately, it seems to be a different type of communication issue, every time I speak to her every time including my wedding day, I am repeating myself in every interaction. Every time I speak, I am lucky to get about 10% of the conversation remembered, understood, or acted upon. Everything is difficult with this venue, even paying! One would think they at least want their money. After 4 attempts at contact for the final payment Kelly finally responds, choses to meet the next day at 10 am. Upon arrival to this meeting, she says "who are you???" Now for my wedding day, after multiple attempts the schedule is not copy and pasted (I did it for her) onto my BEO. I print out my own schedule, list of vendors etc.... (a wedding coordinators job) since I have lost all faith. I was proven correct, both I and my family had to take over any "wedding coordinator" jobs. If I knew how this was going to go, I would have hired a wedding coordinator. Kelly brought her child to my child free wedding and multiple guests informed me an employee's child is running around the venue. We chose the build your own pasta bar for our small (55 person) wedding, terrible choice. It took an hour and a half to two hours to feed everyone and guest spent a lot of time in line. Even with releasing people by table. Our signature drinks were strawberry mojito and old fashions, I wish I would have done a tasting the mojito was the worst I have ever tasted. Rum, lime and water possibly FLAT club soda. Finally, the venue includes a photo booth. The photos were supposed to be sent to me via email within 48 hours of the wedding. I contacted both Danielle and Kelly 4-5 times to finally receive some of them 3 weeks later. Constantly brushing me off saying, "you should have gotten them." I obviously did not or why would I be asking??? I highly suggest choosing a different venue! Very disappointing experience.

    Central location…read more Service and atmosphere: The front desk staff were all nice, helpful and knowledgeable. The hotel is clean and organised. They offer onside steakhouses restaurant and nice bar area. Among other facilities, there is access to pool with bar as well as jacuzzi and fitness room. Room: Our room was located on the 17th floor and had good views of Corpus Christi Bay and marina. The room was spacious, clean, and organised and included all necessities. Pricing; $$/$ - worth the service and the central location.

    We stayed at the Omni Corpus Christi over Memorial Day weekend, communication by email and text…read morestarted a few days before our arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. We mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary, and they surprised us with cheesecake on our special day, which was a very nice touch. The room itself could definitely use some upgrades for the price you pay. We stayed in the Executive Suite on the 6th floor and honestly expected a better view for the cost. The balcony had no chairs and was separated by a wall, leaving only a tiny space to step outside briefly before going back in. The beach view was decent, but I would probably upgrade to a better room next time. The bathroom layout was a bit awkward, with the toilet extremely close to the tub, but that seems more like a builder design issue. Overall, the room was okay. Having a microwave, keurig and fridge was a huge plus since those amenities are not advertised. We also dined at Republic of Texas Bar & Grill, and it did not disappoint. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to try the other amenities. The Executive Suite includes two TVs, but they barely worked. They are not smart TVs, and we were unable to cast any of our shows even though it stated we could. We called for assistance, someone came to the room, and we were told someone would follow up once the issue was fixed, but the TVs actually worked worse afterward. It also took forever for them to come back on after we returned from dinner. Since relaxing and watching TV is one of the hotel amenities we enjoy most, I do have to take a star off for that experience. Had the issue been resolved, I would have easily given the hotel 5 stars. I've included pictures to help others choose their room because the photos on the Omni Corpus Christi website are not very helpful.

    I wanted to love to this location because I love Aloft's. But sadly it's been issue after issue…read moresince checking in. I'm no complainer so I said nothing up until my second night when I just couldn't take it another second. Before I even begin to discuss all of the negatives I would love to highlight the positives. The staff here is insanely helpful and nice. And really tried to accommodate me. From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted with such amazing energy. The lobby is beautifully decorated and the bar is a total vibe. They also have a great happy hour. This area is actually prefect because it's conveniently located near tons of restaurants and shopping. The hotel is clean, I could smell the cleanliness as I entered the door. The room was also clean I felt comfortable enough to walk about the room in my socks. The bathroom was spotless as well. The floor were freshly mopped. Which is a major plus for me because as stated before everyone's definition of clean isn't the same. The AC unit is obnoxiously loud. Imagine being so noisy and still not work. It didn't heat nor cool the room and refused to go off. Talking about barely getting rest and I am in town for a work trip go figure. But the front desk staff did offer to switch my room but I only had one more night so I didn't want to waste a room. The water pressure in the sink is extremely low. The toilet has to be flushed twice to get it to do anything remotely close actually flushing. The mattress is hard as a rock and the pillows went completely flat once I rested my head upon one. The parking is limited for such a large hotel but it didn't really seem to affect my stay. But on a holiday or busy weekend I can see how that can be a problem.

    I returned to Corpus Christi for a wedding and it happened to be at this venue. This is from a…read moreguest perspective, so keep it in mind, plus I'm Houston bound. I know others might argue, this is a 3 star, especially with the beautiful over the top reception places in Houston, but this place makes perfect sense for Corpus Christi. It's simple, chic, and best of all the packages are affordable. (I went to see how much events cost there. I feel my Houston wedding which was beautiful and 5 stars all the way, cost like a jillion dollars compared to their prices and my event venue wasn't on the crazy expensive side either.) The venue allowed family to do a very traditional old school, Mexican style wedding, with them cooking for all the guests and helping with serving. There were staffers there, who were mainly in charge of clean up and making sure the bride/groom had what they needed. I assume having the staff serve costs more, but seeing that traditional old school style wedding to me was great. Bathrooms were large and clean. Dance space was a tad on the smaller size, but nothing that could prevent a party. Decoration space is basically dependent on how you decorate your wedding. It can be a chic wedding, a traditional one, or something else entirely. Look if you're in Corpus and you're on a budget come here. The bride that had her wedding here was in the Houston area, so they do work with out of town brides too. It's a space for mid sized weddings, so if you need 300 plus, you may need to look elsewhere. With this economy, definitely give this place a shot. You need a wedding, not spend money on a down payment to a 400K house. Go tour it. You'll notice it's simple, but with a keen decorating eye you can make this space be yours, which is great for a girl on a budget.
