Reviews for South Seas Island Resort

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Although still recovering from consecutive hurricanes, South Seas is still a beautiful island getaway full of beautiful nature and fabulous sunsets. The resort and owners are working diligently to restore the infrastructure and amenities. Plenty of dining options with more to come. Condos are spacious and well appointed. The beach is irresistible and the main pool complex is a relaxing refuge with a million dollar view. Despite the on going rebuilding, still a great place to leave your stress behind and enjoy a safe and relaxing vacation for couples and families alike.

Beautiful, but can't use the pool!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Beautiful spot, the island is stunning and wildlife insane. Sadly lots of construction and guests in time share accommodation aren't allowed to use the main pool or beach facilities - such a shame. If everyone had the same access then the atmosphere would also be improved.

Credit Card theft & Crappy beach

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Well having gone here for the past 15 years at least 4 times a year via our boat this was a major disappointment. At check in we went across the street to deal with the golf cart rental and with all the distractions of other people I left my wallet on the window shelf. The manager called ten minutes later to let me know. When I picked it up ten minutes later the woman working there went inside retrieved it and I went in my way only to realize when I went to tip the guy who helped carry our bags up to the third floor that my cash was missing along with 4 major credit cards. When I let the resort know they said maybe I dropped then and when I went down to the building where you check in they were searching the lot. This was laughable to me that the people at the cart rental place were trying to gaslight me into thinking somehow I dropped my credit cards lol anyways I cancelled them all via my phone and didn’t let the theft ruin my weekend our group of 6 chose to secure our valuable and move on. When checking in no one checked our paperwork at the gate or took our plate number security was none existent and with construction well and small kids not a great situation. The bar at the pool never once had us sign a receipt they just took our name and well we got a bill that was absurd. The beach was crappy and dangerous not for kids a big drop into the water. The service at the beach well there is none they refuse to let you use umbrellas claiming the wind the wind oh please its in the water you have breezes. We will not be going back although they tried they should not be open because all they have is a pool a bar one restaurant and an ice cream place that stinks compared to the old one they had. Go someplace else and wait for this to be rebuilt another three years maybe.

Exceeded expectations

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Wonderful family trip at a beautiful spot. I was worried about the state of the resort because of other recent reviews about it being rebuilt, and I am so glad we went! Yes, there was some construction but it didn’t impede us having a great trip. We stayed in the beach villas- great location on a beautiful beach. The pools were great and there was a lot to do. The service was excellent. We called multiple times for things like extra coffee, and didn’t have any issues getting more (which I saw was a complaint some others mentioned). I hope people can give some grace to this resort as they rebuild. I think it will continue to get better and we look forward to going back.

Amazing vacation

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We just had an amazing stay with our family at South Seas Resort. We stayed at the house 1102, which was beautiful and the view was incredible-we saw dolphins everyday from our screened porch. Lucy and the entire front desk staff (especially Terry) did everything do make sure had a perfect stay. We will definitely be back very soon!
