I was thrilled with this location. It is very family friendly and has lots to offer that I didn't expect. I was a little surprised by a few charges that were on our bill. For example, I had shipped a box ahead of time to myself at the resort. When we arrived I expected to go to the front desk... More

We were attending a conference at this resort so decided to bring the family and make a vacation out of it. It was great! We stayed at the north point (perfect for families with kids) which was close to lots of activities. We enjoyed the slide pool, sea camp, stores and restaurants. Only recommendation for resort is to update the... More

Visited Southseas in early June, 2013 and was surprised at how well laid out it is. A bit confusing since the resort is in 2 parts separated by private land (a trolley runs between North and South resorts), but the "villa" we stayed in was lovely, well furnished and maintained by a superb group of housekeepers. All the south-end villas... More

We stayed in the North Village with our 8 year old daughter. One of our most enjoyable moments was doing the ScoutAbout on the island. You look for different rubber bands hidden with a nature fact. Once you have collected them all you can turn them in for a special south seas bracelet. We rented a golf cart and rode... More

We had booked a one-bedroom unit in the Tennis Villas. The Tennis Villas do not have any close beach access, but it was only .25 mile across parking lots, so very easy to do. They are located in the front of the sprawling resort area. There is a trolley that will take you down to the end of the island... More

Outdoor entertainment precludes restful sleep. Management not responsive to three calls of outdoor entertainment noise after 9:00. the entertainer may as well be in our room. No recourse. We came here to relax not be overwhelmed by music,loud noise and placating staff.

We stayed here with our 8 & 11 year old children after visiting Disney. We had very high expectations which were not met by the first accommodation we were shown, which were absolutely awful.

I am very happy to write this review because I am really hoping that I can help others that stay at the resort. I, too, was confused when I read the reviews on here - - after we had booked!
