Amenities were great especially traveling with kids. Only issue was had to ask multiple times to have a crib brought to the room. With that said the mattress and crib itself were great quality and my 2 year old slept no problem all week.

The room was spotless, and the check-in staff was incredibly friendly. The trolley driver was very accommodating, and the team at the ice cream shop was also warm and welcoming. The beach was absolutely stunning—I keep thinking about how much I want to go back. Swimming with fish all around me was such a memorable experience. Overall, it was an amazing trip for both kids and adults. Thank you!

Our condo was beautiful and clean. Felt all new and had all we needed. There is a lot of work going on around, lots of hammering and trucks coming and going. The elevator didn’t work the first few day, but was fixed. The only real problem is the bugs and no-see-ums. They don’t treat for bugs so we got eaten alive on the beach and by the pool.

Everything about the property was excellent along with the staff and services. My only complaint was the $1500 hold they put on my card for resort fees and incidentals. The resort fee is $50 per day but they hold another $1250 for anything you purchase on at the resort. I understand why they do it but it would be good to advertise that before I booked. Either way the resort was incredible.

We checked in and was welcome by a nice person at the front desk Marissa she got us checked in and showed us a map of the property and everything that was going on. We asked about upgrading to the beachside Villa and Brian was nice enough to come out and upgrade us for free the villa was beautiful. Had a great view of the beach with the sunset. Everything was perfect. It was our anniversary and a welcome surprise was on that day. They delivered a bottle of wine with some nice candies for us to enjoy overall the areas nice they’re still trying to get their sea legs back from the hurricane two years ago, but things are progressing nicely.

First visit to South Seas. It is at the far northern part of Captiva Island. Its secluded, and quiet. The rooms are actually condo's which are really nice, clean and comfortable. Please keep in mind this resort is still undergoing construction from Hurricane Ian, but they have done a great job and can't wait for it to be finished as it will be amazing. The beach is gorgeous, not crowded and the chairs and umbrellas on the beach are a great touch as we forgot to bring ours. Every employee we met was so friendly, helpful and kind. Strongly recommend renting a golf cart. It helps get around the resort which is quite large and bonus it allows you to go into the little town which is adorable and has additional dining options. Very nice having a Starbucks on property as well. We will be visiting again. If you are looking for a quiet trip with rest and relaxation and great accommodations this is the place!!

There was a juggle with our villa as it was not 100% clean. But staff immediately upgraded us to the next door villa without any issues. I’m sure just a ripple in the reopening process of the resort. Beach staff was on the ball. Top notch. We did not use the marina facilities. But the pools and beach were very nice. Be mindful there are rules and height restrictions on activities that in our experience other resorts in the area do not have. The pool staff and concessions were doing their best but probably needed more feet on the ground for that size resort. Menu seemed fairly limited and repetitive whether inside the restaurant our poolside. There is construction areas. But no noise or confusion to deal with. Overall this is a pricy resort. But we hope to return as they get it up to full function. Renting the golf cart was the best decision ever!

I'll preface this by saying that i had an incredible week and rhat Captiva is literal Paradise. My lodging however could use some work. The main office, gym facility, and retail establishments are excellent. Unfortunately my actual suite could use some work. While the facility was clean and had a spectacular view- the lodging was old and tired. Dirty elevators cheaply updated should have been a sign of things to come. Once inside the lodging I found cheap plastic flooring that flexed as you walked over uneven surface underneath. The walls were "updated" with textured wall covering the in areas was peeling. Baseboard looked as if a child did.the job. Poorly finished, improperly cut, and nailholes unfinished. Most things painted revraled many layers of old paint. Nights 1 and 2 were spent listening to the toilet by the bedroom run. Despite requesting it be remedied- it took speaking to the property manager on day 3 to get this accomplished. Ironically, the second toilet also broke and needed repair. Additionally- the water was only "warm" in the shower. Dining at the "resort" facilities is ridiculously expensive, so I ate better elsewhere for the same price. Lastly, there's no hospitality all week. You make your own bed, hang your towels, and if you want more- you drive to get them yourself.

The staff was amazing. They do close the pool early each night, which was disappointing. The drinks at the pools side bar were great but they are expensive. $17 each. There is construction, but it didn't bother us, not noisy at all. The pools are super clean and our villa was great. Would definitely return.
