Paradise south is a quaint smaller resort located in Mercedes Texas. Friendly staff, friendly residents. Mostly visitors from the northern climates-Canada 🍁 North and South Dakota Kansas Iowa. Missouri Northern Texas. Daily activities in the meeting hall. Bingo bean bag. Weekly dinner dances during the winter Texan season. I was a short term visitor visiting my sister in law for a few days. I was welcomed in to the bean bag tournament the dinner dances and invited to bingo and card games. The shower facility was not the most updated but was adequate for my needs. Clean and centrally located. Lots of people walking dogs early in the morning or riding the roads on bikes. Small dog park. Weekly garbage pick up. Unfortunately the weather was not very nice while I stayed. It was unseasonably chilly. Overall a reasonable and inexpensive resort with amenities and a pool, spa and small workout facility.

Nice--we like it here. This is a smaller, mid range resort. The people are friendly and the staff members have been very accommodating. Nice pool area. Activities everyday. Close to shopping and very safe.
