According the the literature this resort is the next thing to paradise. However this paradise comes at a price. The beach, whilst being "shell strewn" is not really much different from most of the other beaches in Florida facing the Gulf of Mexico.The hotel rooms are siutated a 20 minute ride in an antiquated bus with no suspension which run...

I was there in January 2012 for a 6 day Sales Conference with 80+ members of my company. When you have that many people, each with their own specific requests it can be difficult, but the event planner there, as well as the resort staff, were both friendly and accommodating. Our schedule was tough to plan and execute, with daily... More

visited in February 2012. Great place that has everything you need for a family vacation. The rooms vere clean and pretty. We had a view of the water and saw dolphins every day! The beach is just beautiful with lots of shells and the hotel (of course) provides with umbrellas, loungers and towels. Our 16 months old loved to play... More

Really enjoyed our stay at South Seas on the whole. A few glitches but we would return. We stayed at Lands End section, very pretty, well-kept and secluded feeling. We'd booked a suite on the North-East side but there was very noisy construction involving a couple of back hoes going on 30 yards away which the front desk neglected to... More

Second time we have visited. First time 2 years ago when 6 of us (grandkids and their parent and us) stayed in Land's End section. Great place with plenty of room. North end has best access to big pool, beach, and marina. Plenty of possibilities for activities from the property including kayak, water sports, and boating excursions. Just returned from... More

Stayed here for a 3 night "girls weekend". The resort is perfect - I could barely tell I was in southwest Florida because it was so peaceful and uncrowded. We stayed in a tennis villa, which was nicely decorated, very clean and updated. The twin beds and king bed in the loft were fabulous with down pillows, regular pillows, throw... More

Mini tennis condo was very nice but no view. Transport on resort needs work if they want it to be a no car experience. Shuttle service sporadic at best. Front desk asked where we were waiting for shuttle. I read him the name of building we were in front of. He said he didn't know where that was (!) but... More

We stayed for a week as part of our Offshore Sailing School course we took, and stayed next to the marina in the refurbished 3 story building just next to it. Very dated, being renovated - but you definitely need to fight for a 3rd floor room if you want the most privacy/quiet. Restaurants on location were pretty good, but... More

We recently had a five night stay at South Seas and really enjoyed it. Staff was extremely accommodating, (thanks for the fan Heidi), room (2 bedroom tennis villa) was great for the three of us. The beach was beautiful. Having lived in Fort Myers for a short period, I was familiar with resort but had never had the opportunity to... More

We were at the South Seas for my step-daughter's wedding. It was beautiful, the wedding I mean. Now about South Seas: You couldn't find a nicer place! Georgeous plantings, you are waited on hand and foot. Now, I mean to the point that at the reception, which was in the early evening, the no-see-'ems were so bad that staff came... More
