South Seas Island Resort

South Seas has done an amazing job recovering after being devestated with Hurricanes Ian and Milton. One can only give kuddos to all involved with the clean up and renovations. South Seas is back, more amazing that ever! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend this resort to any one considering a place to feel "total relaxation" with a choice of excellent restaurants. There is lots to enjoy!

I just wanted to say how much fun it was playing Bingo with Rahiem as our number caller - what a personality! So great with the kids too!

Let me start with this...... This resort is the farthest North you can go on Captiva Island but it is well worth the drive. The resort is still undergoing construction from the Hurricane Ian Damages, but they are doing a wonderful job and all the pools and eating establishments are open. The rooms are actually condo's and are clean, updated and beautiful. We stayed in a Bayside Villa and enjoyed the beautiful view each morning of the bay and sunrise. I recommend getting a golf cart as the resort is quite big and its fund to be able to zip around the the different areas with ease. Added bonus you can take it into the little town which has additional dining options and is just adorable!! The young man who helped us get the golf cart was so helpful!! The beach is beautiful, clean, and so quiet. Watching the dolphins swim by so close was an added treat. Make sure you plan for the Noseums that are there at dawn and at Dusk. They will eat you alive. They have some spray at the Provisions store which helped. Overall this resort and little town just outside of it is great. If you are looking for a lowkey and relaxing getaway this is definitely the place to go.

Struggled with what star rating to give my review as there were both 5 and 3 star moments. Overall, our family of 6 adults had a relaxing time, enjoying the beautiful beach, pool, fitness room, restaurants, and short golf course. Positives: The ocean and beach were great which was the big draw for our family. We sat every day but one at the beach. Olivia in the food truck was lovely and the food was delicious. Olivia was one of our favorite parts of beach day - she always greeted us warmly and with great cheer. Everton at the pool was another plus and we spent one full day hanging out there where we saw both dolphins and manatees in the bay. We ate at both restaurants and the food was very good at Harborside. We had an issue with our room the first night (there was a leak in the roof during a strong rain storm) and the staff was very helpful in moving us into Seabreeze 1257. Those accommodations were great. Closer to the pool and with a golf cart, easy to get around. The rest of the stay was lovely. The drawbacks include construction continues - and there's a lot of it. It's going to be a fantastic resort in a year. The Beach House restaurant wasn't open yet so we went into "town" to eat for several of our meals, which was nice too. We had an issue with our room bill that appeared a couple of days after we checked out. The problem was resolved but it took 4 texts/calls and over a week to resolve which was very frustrating. The manager explained that many of the front desk staff are new so patience is required in dealing with issues that will eventually get resolved. Tips: Rent a golf cart and try the restaurants in the area near the hotel.

A beautiful resort with just the right amount of activities. I was so pleased by our clean refreshing villa, gorgeous views, and lovely pools. All the staff were exceptionally nice and helpful. We had an amazing vacation!
