My boyfriend and I just got back from a 5 day stay at the South Seas Hotel and we loved it! We arrived early and our room wasn't ready so they stored our bags for us for a couple hours. When we came back to check in, our room still wasn't ready so they upgraded us to a pool/ocean view... More

My wife and I just returned from an amazing weekend at the South Seas. The room was clean, the staff was always friendly and helpful, and you can't beat the location - the beach is right out the back gate! The pool scene is just right (not to pretentious and relaxed) and the Pilikia is a great poolside bar with... More

We came here when the Shelborne lost our reservation. We were only supposed to stay for a night. We were not pleased upon arrival since we had been jerked around by the Shelborne all day. We chose to take a peek at the rooms- not too shabby, and the pool area- very nice! We had been jerked around by the... More

We celebrated my husbands birthday and our wedding anniversary at this hotel. I couldn't have asked for a better one. The location was great, basically directly at the beach and not far from any attractions. The pool was pleasantly warm and the food and staff at the outside restaurant were great! We loved the hammocks under the palm trees! The... More

I have been to thousands of hotels without exaggeration. For the money this hotel is a terrible value with location being it's only saving grace. To pay $250-$300 for a microscopic and shabby room with rock hard bedding is what you will get. This place is deceiving as the outside of the building and the lobby are actually decent. It... More
