South Seas

"Staff at marina , was extremely helpful, Staff was at the docks on arrival to guide us in to dock and help tie up and hook up shore power. First class operation. We then rented a golf cart. The gulf cart fleet was brand new, right off the showroom floor. The staff was very accommodating and professional. They will do what it takes to please the customer. Another first class operation! You get what you pay for."

"The Management of South Seas is excellent. Amanda took time to explain what amenities were available and which ones were not. She offered to get assistance with our luggage since the elevator was still in repair. In spite of the damage this property suffered from Ian it is coming back to the fabulous beach escape we all remembered. Even though the restaurants in the resort are not open yet, there are plenty of great local restaurants very close to the resort. We are glad we came back and helped in getting South Seas back to the best resort on Captiva Island."

"Nice job getting the county commissioners in your pocket to approve tripling room density under the guise of resiliency. And even nicer that you want to eliminate worker housing for more hotel rooms. Good luck finding staff willing to drive two hours to clean your planned 7 story luxury hotel rooms for $15 an hour. Until then may your "resort" be infested with a few billion bedbugs and fire ants. F.U. timbers corp"

"Just visited. Was a wonderful short visit. They are close to reopening more of the resort, saw lots of painting, grill installation, elevator work, last minute type stuff. My complaint was more with our particular condo, and I guess this is the problem when you rent units on behalf of the condo owner. Everything in the unit was new, but it’s obvious it was done as cheaply as possible. The master bathroom shower was just ridiculous, especially when you consider this unit usually rents for $500-$600 a night. Instead of doing a modern walk in shower, they installed a tub with a sliding glass shower door. Not a complete door, just 1 panel, so half the shower was open. And the door was small, so anyone over 5’5 has to duck to avoid hitting your head as you get in and out. The water was luke warm at best. Felt more like Red Roof Inn than a luxury resort. We’ve been to SS before, so I know this isn’t necessarily representative of the entire resort, but whoever owns this unit is a cheapskate. The restaurants being closed forced us into food options that we would have never considered before. We ate dinner at the Doc Fords on Sanibel and breakfast at RC Otters and the ‘Tween Waters Inn. The food at ‘Tween Waters was exceptional. The Bubble Room is still closed, and appears to just be sitting there boarded up."

"I am giving 5 stars due to the marina staff as well as check in manager, bellman, shuttle driver and gate check dude. This resort is currently a diamond in the rough from the storm damage and the south seas team is in full swing to get more units up and running. The pools were very relaxing, our room accommodation were very nice, clean and updated. The gas grills and gardens are very nice. The marina is open and the sunset beach is peaceful. Rent a golf cart to get to town for lots of restaurants and shopping. We will be back and look forward to the progress."
