South Seas Island Resort is approximately an hour’s drive from Fort Myers and the Southwest Florida International Airport. Cab fare from the airport to the resort is approximately $100.
Sprawling across the entire northern third of Captiva Island, South Seas Island resort “feels as lush as its name suggests” (Fodor’s). Two and a half miles of pristine white-sand beaches hug this 330-acre nature preserve, offering a quiet and secluded oasis just an hour’s drive from Fort Myers.
Trolley shuttles ensure guests can easily traverse the whopping acreage, zipping through the property’s ever-green mangrove forests to the numerous on-site dining outlets and amenities. Accommodations vary across the grounds, from marina-side hotel rooms to quaint condominiums and cottages, spacious private homes and villas.
Before taking part in the resort’s copious on-site activities and amenities, head to the seashore to hunt for unique souvenirs on the property’s superb shell-hunting sands. Resident manatees and dolphins are often spotted splashing away in the nearby waters, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled not only for shells.
Tee up at “one of the most picturesque 9-holers anywhere” (Frommer’s), book a treatment at the 4,000-square-foot state-of-the-art spa or take the kids to the family interactive center to enjoy an abundance of kid-friendly activities. Water sports, tennis courts, bikes and a massive pool complex are also available for guests wishing to stay active throughout their stay.
From the press:
“Water on three sides give the resort a delicious seclusion” – Fodor’s
“Its Gulfside golf course is one of the most picturesque 9-holers anywhere” – Frommer’s

Everything was beautiful. We ate at two of the restaurants on the property, the property was well cared for. But the rooms really need to be re-done. We wondered if the lower priced offer was because the rooms (in our case, 1 BR condo) were in need of updating.

Our room was great, but just a few suggestions. Full size mirror.The air condition was loud. The cleaning people stood outside of our building one day in a golf cart and spoke loudly to the cleaning ladies that were standing upstairs in the building.

Our villa room was certainly not up to resort standards, nor was the pool in our complex. While everything was in passable working order in our room, it appeared as though the unit had been neglected for quite some time. Outdated furnishings. Caulking needing to be done almost everywhere. Air Conditioner had a hard time keeping the humidity out of the unit. Balcony furniture seriously outdated and metal table was sticky to the touch. NOT RESORT STANDARDS. When we commented on this at checkout the only response was, "these units are individually owned and we have no control over them." Very disappointing.

Upon booking, $199.00 was posted to my credit card as I expected. When I arrived, this would left an outstanding balance of $ 886.58 (Original booking of $1,085.58 -$199.00). I also had a $100.00 resort credit. So, the resort proceeds to place a hold on my credit card for $1,910.00 on 11/21. I departed at 9:35 am on 11/25 and the resort has still not settled my account as of today, 11/28.. This is totally unacceptable !
Will not waste my time on complaining about the 1980's style room to which I was assigned.

only one slight complaint, the servers at the pool were a little grumpy, two days in a row. I am not sure if it is because they had to work a holiday weekend but it was fine, just thought they would be a little more friendly.
One suggestion is to leave the pool area open later, it is so beautiful on the water, they could add firepits and let families hang out together at night there.
but overall all, I didn't want the time there to end and I can't wait to go back.

The place is beautiful and are happy about our weekend there. But be prepared, it's expensive. We expected for an island resort but things we didn't really expect was the PER PERSON PER NIGHT resort fee (most resorts have them but room per night). Another is food/drinks which again are usually inflated at resorts but $13 (without tip) for a can of local beer and lunch at the pool with mostly "kids meals" was $115. Again, it's a great place that I would recommend to anyone. Just be prepared for the extra charges/higher prices.

We were staying in the Beach Front Villas and in the end of our building there were 8 units. 3 of the units were being renovated and the jackhammering noise of the renovation went on the entire length of our stay. To say it was annoying is a complete understatement. We actually had to avoid our room during the hours between 9am and 7pm. This is completely unacceptable! The staff couldn't have been nicer and offered us a $200 refund but the individual owners of these units should have to notify the resort when renovations are going to take place. I would not even consider returning to South Seas Island Resort because of this issue.

The room we were assigned looked nothing like the photos on the website & there was no luggage trolley to help with your baggage. I was disappointed that our room was over a mile away from the main pool & beach. It was not within walking distance. There was a small pool near our bldg, however it offered zero shade (not one umbrella), the pool was dirty, the furniture was old, the pool surface was rough on your feet and it was not kid/child friendly. The complex was so spread out that there was nothing within walking distance of our bldg. The website offers a very different picture of the complex. Going on vacation and needing to drive your vehicle everywhere was not enjoyable. The map that we received when we checked in was small, hard to understand and confusing. Our overall experience was fair. We were disappointed in many aspects.

We've stayed at this resort a few other times and have always loved. This time we did noticed the housekeeper was not actually cleaning good. The floor always looked dirty, you can see hair and sand after we walked back in from a day at the beach. The beds where made perfect but the towels she half the time she would just leave a stalk on the sink for us to hang apparently. Not a big deal but surprised by it. She also saw the roll of paper towels was empty because she did take off the empty roll but never replaced it. It took us 4 calls throughout the day to get a new roll. Again, not a big big deal but If I'm leaving a review I thought I would mention it. Usually the housekeeping has been great in the past

if you have a car and do not avail yourself of the tram system or the other amenities then the resort fee of $20 per person per day seems a bit steep. Also do not like the fact that they more than double the charges on your credit card as a guarantee prior to placing the actual charge for your stay on the card. So for a stay of around $600 they place a hold of $1200 on your card. This seems excessive.
