South Seas

“Amazing family vacation spot!”

Our family had a great time! We enjoyed the various activities at or near the resort. I highly recommend you book directly through the resort so you have access to all the amenities. Our whole family agreed it was one of our best vacations ever.

We just left our long weekend trip at South Seas. This was our first time back since Ian, we visited 4 times previously. We visit SW FL several times a year because we have family here so we have experience with several resorts around the area. South Seas is just a unique experience compared to other resorts because it’s so expansive. We rented a golf cart because and it was $150 a day. You must book direct through the resort. You do have to charge it frequently but it was not an issue for us and it was a fun way to get around. Being June and hot as heck, the resort was not crowded at all!! But, I can see parking possibly being an issue during busy season. We stayed in marina villa 703 and it was a super nice villa, totally updated. I know there are complaints about some units not being updated, we experienced that during past visits. When we booked we noted we wanted an updated unit and upon check-in. We picked the marina villa because of location close to main pool and beach access for chairs and umbrellas. Our 14 year old had no interest in the water park lol but it looked quite impressive and I’m sure kids love it. Every employee we encountered was super friendly. Please tip the guys helping you with beach setup, they deserve it. In a couple reviews people mentioned not being able to bring Yeti type cups in the pool area. They did not search our beach bags and when I was carrying a Yeti the young guy just politely asked if it was water. Yes, there is construction going on but it did not affect our stay. All amenities open and we never heard construction noise in our villa. They are building a spa/fitness center and new hotel/villa building. We only ate at Redfish Grill and Tarpon Bar and both were good. There’s a handful of restaurants right outside the resort that we enjoyed. If you eat at RC Otters, ask details about MKT price, I feel like their pricing is not transparent. This didn’t bother us, but be prepared that just about everything but restaurants close at 6pm. Lastly, the ocean was so beautiful!! Our last few trips to the area was Ft. Myers and there’s just no comparison!!! Captiva blue and clear, Ft. Myers brown and murky.

We have stayed out South Seas several times and always enjoyed ourselves. However, they have made many changes in the property, and we found some not so positive. We understand they are focusing on families with children, and they did a great job with the waterpark and lazy river. But I don't understand the need to push everyone staying there into a very small area of the beach and stacking the chairs three deep to make it happen. I actually got hit in the head by a child as she stumbled in the sand and it really wasn't her fault the chairs were too close. But what really shocked me was being asked twice by texts to strip the beds, collect the trash in the room, load/start the dishwasher and gather all your towels in a single pile to be placed by the bathroom sink. I thought I was there for a vacation.
