Great Experience
Just like any hotel/resort in a tourist location, nothing will be perfect & I try not to focus on the "little stuff" (in my opinion) like some, but I had no complaints about our stay at Sea Watch. And I was quite nervous because this was my first time down here in many, many years and some of the reviews of the hotel made me wonder. But now, I read them with a grain of salt since some of the reviews I encountered were too "nitpicky", in my opinion.
We rented our room through the hotel (so keep that in mind because the rooms might be different depending on if you go through the hotel or a rental agency or timeshare). The breakfast buffet was excellent. We didn't plan on eating dinner there, so the hours of the restaurant then was not that important. The housekeeping was excellent -- daily service. The hotel was very clean. We stayed the last week of August, 2004, so you still have alot of families staying there -- but it is just that: families. Plus, the rates are slightly cheaper, so if you can wait an extra week, it's worth it (we saved about $500 waiting a week). Great entertainment for the kids.
Enjoyed the occasional drink at the poolside bar. (was slightly pricey, but it was expected. IN fact, alcohol in general at MB is not cheap). The location is excellent. Right on the beach. Plus, plenty of shopping and a WalMart Supercenter right down the street for groceries.
The water amenities are excellent.
Expect a wait at the front desk, depending on time of day and their staffing. But again, this was my ONLY issue here. IN reality, it's a "non-issue" to me.
My wife and I plan on going back and always recommend this place to family and friends.
