South Seas Island Resort was nothing short of amazing. It's definitely upscale, but you know what they say -- you get what you pay for. We stayed right on the golf course in one of the townhome-style villas near the pool. Even though we were there during construction, the staff did their best to be personable and keep the area clean. We went ...
Got there and because of a slight mixup with our reservation Denise, the manager-- what a gal! comped my wife and I dinner and wine at The Harbourside Steakhouse on the site...now thats generous. The tab would have easily been over 100 dollars -- I tipped 40 bucks because the waitress and restaurant managers were exceedingly gracious and ...

Overpriced but nice
By FAMILY OF FIVE, 06/25/08
Our room was not what was described, it was a beach villa, not by the beach at all, but by the pool. There was no tv in the bedroom, like other rooms had, and it took two days after several facilities workers came to the room to tell us that the room was privately owned and didn't come with a tv.
If traveling with kids, definitely stop by a ...

I live for this vacation spot!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/04/08
My husband and I recently purchased a time share on the gulf side of the resort, just before the hurricane, so we were not able to use it until after the renovations, but we have been nothing but happy. We have three children who count the weeks every year until the day we go. We just love the ocean view, the ability to rent bikes and travel all ...

We want to go back!
By beachlover, 08/30/07
My family and I have been back from Captiva for 2 weeks and we can't wait to go back. The South Seas resort was the perfect vacation spot for us. I was a bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews, but decided to keep and open mind.
We were looking for a place where we could truly relax. We stayed in the Tennis Villas. The beds ...
