Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa

Beautiful spa, Library Bar and beach restaurant. The service at this hotel was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Great experience!

This is our second stay here—last time was 2019 and I gave it a lengthy review and 5 stars. This time our 11 night stay was good, but not excellent. There remain many great things about the hotel. The pool area is beautiful. The ocean is gorgeous. The breakfast buffet was very very good. The staff members were all very nice. It is very deserving of 4 stars. However, for $2,000 a night for a standard hotel room (beware of all the extra taxes and fees!) I expect more. First of all, when we checked in for our 11 night stay ocean view room we were put on the second floor. Well, you can’t see the ocean from the second floor. You see the palm tree outside your window. They did move us to the 5th floor, but it took 3 hours before our room was ready so we had to hang out waiting. Again, in their defense they did get us into this room right before the official check in time of 4:00 but it was still a hassle to have to go through the room change. The hotel was packed to capacity, mostly with families. Apparently it was winter break on the east coast. Not the hotel’s fault, obviously, but they could have anticipated this a bit better. More staff at breakfast were needed—the hostess was overwhelmed and it took forever to get seated even though there were many open tables. And when you are at capacity get 2 people at the omelette station! And I hate the morning fight for pool and beach chairs. For $2,000 a night you simply shouldn’t have to get to the pool or beach at 7:00 am to secure a chair. And of course the people who did this just put down their stuff and didn’t reappear for hours. The staff should not allow this. And the beach was just so crowded—all the chairs lined up in a row. When I stayed several years ago the beach was not nearly as crowded. Now it’s packed, and even worse on days the cruise ships come in and swarm to the public beach which is right next door. So, overall, a lovely hotel. Just know that for a fairly steep price you aren’t getting a quiet, relaxing resort. You are getting a stay that could be very crowded with families. Absolutely nothing wrong with this if that’s your thing—just be forewarned.

We stayed here w kids and the place is great. Beach is amazing. Sand is soft. Pool is great. Breakfast is great. Our flight home was cancelled due to the snow. MIGUEL at the front desk spent a significant amount of time ensuring we would be able to stay in the same room for our unexpected extended stay. Greatly appreciated. ROSE from housekeeping did a tremendous job as well and was greatly helpful. Throughout the stay-ppl constantly approached us and asked if there was something they could do to improve our stay or if we needed anything. Countless times a day. So leadership should know the staff is following through on this obvious priority. Staff everywhere. Thank u kimpton!!

This place had much better service a year ago —- I understand it was a vacation week but the service was mediocre at best for the prices. The rooms were not cleaned properly, mold on the shower - they ask for tips at every turn you go. Their kids club is beyond expensive and they are only open if you book in advance. Every morning there is a significant line for breakfast; you have to wait for a table and the staff are slow as molasses - Last Kimpton experience for this family!

Impeccably clean. Plenty of chairs by the pool, so you don't have to "fight" for them early in the morning. Perfect for families, couples or business trips. Frozen grapes in the morning and popsicles in the afternoon by the pool are a nice treat, as is the free happy hour from 5-6 each day in the lobby. We used the free bikes to ride into Georgetown one day. Plenty of excellent restaurants on property or next door at the Indigo. The Library Bar is next level. If you're looking for a hotel rather than a condo or house, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. Pricey, yes. But worth it.
