Our friends just bought a vacation condo here and we took the short trip down to visit. They're condro was beautiful. Grounds were lovely
very good for the price. the hotel is dusty, but nothing crazy. everything is very pretty, room service was on point. all jacuzzis are always filled up at night though. keep in mind that there not a lot of food options nearby and the resort’s restaurant food is awful.
This is the most beautiful resort that I have been to in a long time! I love how close to the cliffs by the ocean you can walk to and take great photos. The conference center and executive suites were great! The restaurant and bar have fantastic food and drinks. Outside on the patio is a great place to have breakfast! This area is where I would want to get married it is so beautiful of a property!!
Best family beach experience ever! Great location, easy parking, and the whole property is very clean. I had the pleasure of staying here is a 1 bedroom unit and it was perfect. We had a balcony that gave us a view of the beach and ocean. We even found time to enjoy the pool and hot tub, all very clean. The restaurant at the resort was nice, the food was good, and the desserts were excellent. Also, a huge shout out to the resort staff. Everyone we had interactions with was great. I highly recommend staying here to unwind and relax. It is totally worth it, and we will be staying here again soon.
Riley at the front desk of Seascape Beach Resort is outstanding! Friendly, professional, and always willing to go above and beyond to help. His exceptional customer service truly makes a difference—Seascape is lucky to have him!
If you're wanting upscale luxury, this probably isn't gong to be the place for you. We booked this resort for a small sleep over birthday for my daughter's 11th birthday. The location is breathtaking, the service was incredible, and the rooms are decent. I was a bit disappointed in some of the amenities like the pool not being stocked with towels, the lounge chairs and tables were kinda dirty and resembled more of a community pool feel, and the inflatable pool toys being dirty and deflated with no way to pump them up. We also noticed things in the actual ruins like broken outlet plates, greasy stove tops, broken glass in the dishwasher. While I had higher expectations for a resort and for the price, overall the experience was good and my daughter enjoyed celebrating her birthday there.
This venue for a wedding is a dream! We’ve shot here on a sunny day and a foggy and both are so magical! If you’re considering this place for your wedding we’d love to capture the magic of your day with the charm of this place!
Absolutely beautiful place to celebrate 10th wedding anniversary. Only suggestion would be to have shower mats.. showers can get slippery
