This resort is beautiful and well-maintained. We would recommend it to anyone with children who want to get away to a part of Florida that isn't Disney or a place with pre-fab fun. There's alot of nature to see and explore, as well as fun and relaxing pool areas for kids, and adults, since there always seemed to be a... More

We've been coming to Captiva for years and have stayed in this resort at least 7 times. Although they bill this as a luxury resort , please understand that you are on an island and everything is relative. Given the prices that they charge, you might expect to have beautiful accommodations and the kind of rooms that you might get... More

We just returned from our vacation at South Seas.... I was a little nervous based on past reviews, but I have to say it was a great place to vacation, especially with small kids ( 4yr and 16month old) We rented a two bedroom beach villa which was the perect size. It was tastefully decorated and the beds were super... More

Our Holiday here was split into two halves - one ok and one very very good. Initially we stayed in a Bayside Villa - this was where we originally booked online and could have been where we'd stayed all week - if we had my review may not be so glowing. Staying in a Bayside villa is like visiting Manhattan... More

We stay at the Bayside Villas and have had two trips with wonderful experiences. We walk to Starbucks and the gym. Take a cooler to the beach where they set up chairs and umbrellas for you, as well as rent bikes and spend the day exploring. My children love it more than Disney! And this year they added "Scout About"... More

We stayed in the harbor view rooms and the view was perfect! The rest was just so-so. We also had an issue with our neighbors making a lot of noise until 2 am which woke up our two children. Security was unable to fix the situation which was a joke. We asked to be moved the next morning and took... More

We booked our stay at this resort based on a friend who has come to it for years and loves it. Just prior to leaving for our vacation I read the reviews on this site and was very disappointed. Guests were calling it a dump. It is not! Yes our condo was a little worn, but it was clean. The... More

Loved south seas! Had an awesome room by the marina. Request the corner rooms, as the are a little bit bigger and give you the ability to have a full living room, and still see the tv from the bed if you so desire. Whole resort was Nice, of course the price reflects it being number 2, so prepare to... More

We stayed at this resort with our 3 boys 7,5, and 2. There more than enough to do here for all ages. I think it is better suited for slightly older children as they can enjoy more activities. such as, Jet skiing, fishing, deep sea fishing, boating, golf and late night movies on the lawn. We were more geared towards... More

Stayed here for an extended weekend last summer. Overall, the resort is great for families. There is plenty to entertain the kids and the location is prime beach front property. Several of the buildings are older and could use some general rehab, but there is nothing that would keep us from coming back. Even the most basic rooms are large... More
