Most visitors to the Rio Grande Valley run out of time before they can get to experience a fraction of our attractions. For birding and butter flying this is paradise. There is great fishing and trophy hunting. Native plant life and agriculture are abundant. The Alamo Inn is only seven miles from the Rio Grande river that runs between Mexico and Texas.
The Valley is culturally a rich blend of Hispanic and American culture. We have wonderful cultural and historic museums to explore. Markets and restaurants that are unique in North America. You can go canoeing on the Rio Grande, kayaking or wind surfing on Laguna Madre, deep sea fishing, or water skiing. There is Texas Louisiana baseball league, and there is horse back riding on the beach.
Local beers are brewed here and there is an amazing brew pub restaurant. We can arrange a limo for you, or a massage, a visit to the beauty shop, or a birding guide. There is a water park and bungee jumping. There are birding, butterfly, wildlife and dragonfly festivals in the fall and spring. There are parades and cultural festivals, rodeo and livestock show, and bull fights in Mexico.

“Our second consecutive four-day stay . . we feel as if we are visiting friends . . . since we run to Santa Ana on a daily basis it’s great to be so handy ... “
"This was our third consecutive year of a 4 day March visit. As we pack to go we feel almost as if we are leaving home! We have been made to feel so welcome and so comfortable at the Alamo Inn. Santa Ana is one of our favorite places in the world. The Alamo Inn is one of our favorite places to stay in the world – how wonderful that they are only 10 minutes apart!”
“This is one outstanding place to stay. We saw the Blue Mockingbird, Greater Pewee, Golden-crowned Warbler, and to top it off a Merlin eating a Black-crested Titmouse at Anzalduas County Park!!”
“Dennis was upset when we pulled up to your address. He thought I’d booked a “quaint” and uncomfortable place! How quickly his attitude changed! We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.”
“The best place we’ve ever stayed in. Good advice on birding, so comfortable, convenient. Home from Home. Much too cheap!! We’ll be back!!”
“Really an astonishing find, birders should flock here. We all want to return here on our next trip. I hope we’ll be able to book a room after word spreads.”
“We have enjoyed our stay with you very much. Very many thanks for all the birding information. It was invaluable. Sincere Good Wishes.”
“A wonderful Inn and a gem. Thanks.”
