Spacious and Clean

During my stay, I was amazed by the spaciousness of the one-bedroom condo, which included a full kitchen and two baths. The room was very clean and thoughtfully decorated, making it a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. The views from the balcony overlooking the crystal-clear waters were simply amazing.

Delicious Dining Options

I had such a great experience dining at the Pink Pearl restaurant within the hotel. The food was incredibly tasty, and having such quality dining just steps away was a huge plus. I also loved the nearby Lay Back restaurant; I couldn't resist going there almost every day for their delicious food and friendly atmosphere.

Great Media Access

I was pleasantly surprised by the very nice fiber optic internet and the On Demand movie channel available in my condo. It was the fastest internet I've experienced anywhere, allowing me to stay connected with family while enjoying my time at the resort. It made watching movies at night incredibly enjoyable—definitely a highlight of my stay!

My stay at Sea Palace was overall very enjoyable, with a fantastic beachfront location and exceptional staff. The area does have signs of recovery from prior hurricane damage, which was a bit disheartening, but the peaceful atmosphere made up for it. The dining options were limited after hours, but I appreciated the convenience of having a full kitchen in my room. 🌊😎

Sea Palace is conveniently located right by the beach. However, much of the surrounding area still shows visible hurricane damage, and most stores close early at night, which was a little disappointing.

Dining

I enjoyed the convenience of cooking meals in my room, but the on-site dining options were limited since the main restaurant was still closed for renovations. I had to adjust my dinner plans due to the early closing hours of local restaurants.

The beach facilities were excellent, with plenty of chairs and umbrellas available. The beach area was only for Sea Palace guests, which ensured a relaxing environment right at the ocean.

I had a lovely stay at Sea Palace, with its perfect location right at the end of the boardwalk. The renovations made the units feel fresh and spacious, and I really appreciated having a washer and dryer in my suite. However, some minor maintenance issues in the shower and limited information from the front desk staff were a bit frustrating. Overall, though, the experience was enjoyable and I would definitely return.

The unit was very spacious with a nice outdoor balcony overlooking the ocean. The bedroom is large with an on-suite bathroom and a comfortable queen-size foam mattress.

Service

The staff was lovely and helpful, but the front desk wasn't very informed about costs of taxis and rental cars.

Location

9.0

The location is perfect for accessing the boardwalk and front street shopping, while being more low key as cruise ship crowds disperse. It's within walking distance of grocery stores and other amenities.

Dining

There is a restaurant on-site, but a broader food selection for purchase would be beneficial, especially with a larger breakfast option.

Facilities

The amenities are good, with beach chairs and umbrellas set up daily, and the suite is well-equipped, but improvements can be made to the shower maintenance.

The resort is conveniently located right on the beach, which is sandy and swimmable, though the surrounding area showed some signs of hurricane damage. Still, it was easy to find a shady spot on the beach.
