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.

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 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.

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