8/10 Good
"The room was amazing and very clean. They did give us the wrong room. Stated we were getting one of the last rooms. Then when we got there we were one of maybe 15 people there. The night we arrived the boy in the office wasnโ€™t very helpful and had a bit of a chip on his shoulder. But we overheard he was fired the morning we left. Every other staff member was fabulous. They were so helpful and friendly. The lady at the pool bar is one in a million. We had no complaints. Would have liked to relax in a hot tub after walking the beach all day so I guess thatโ€™s a suggestion lol. Maybe spray the property for the biting gnats? All in all great stay, great location, great people as well."

"We stayed in the marina villa in a renovated room which was very nice. Everything worked well including the AC! There are great additions to South Seas like the new waterpark and the BEACH House restaurant. There is still active construction where the hotel was before the hurricane. All of the staff was great EXCEPT ONE VERY NASTY TROLLEY DRIVER who was upset because we were parking our bicycles in the shade because of the 100 degrees hitting our seats. The bikes were not in anybody's way, but I guess he thought he was the bicycle police. Anyway, we will return. Great job South Seas on the renovation!"
