The hotel offers a great location, just a short walk from the beach, which was one of the highlights of my stay. The rooms were clean initially, but they didn't receive timely cleaning after the first night. While the staff was generally friendly, I did experience some issues with service during my stay. Overall, it's reasonable for the price, but not without its flaws.

I had quite a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is excellent and the staff is very friendly, the room I stayed in was quite outdated and not very clean. The dining options could definitely use some improvement, especially for breakfast. Overall, I feel like I paid too much for what I received.

Rooms

The room was outdated, with a popcorn ceiling in the bathroom coming off and a strong smell of cigarette smoke. I also noticed the kitchen cabinets were falling apart and the bathroom light kept flickering. Not the best experience, especially for the $2500 I spent for six nights.

I had a pleasant stay at Sea Crest Resort. The location is fantastic, right on the beach and close to attractions. My room was clean and comfortable, which made it easy to manage with my two little kids. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, and while the pools were nice, they could use a bit more variety. Overall, it was a great family-friendly hotel with value for money.

5.4/10

The hotel has an amazing ocean view from the rooms and a great location near various attractions and eateries. However, I noticed some downsides, like the presence of mold in the rooms and a not-so-friendly staff. The dining experience left something to be desired, especially since I had to walk far for breakfast. Overall, the value for money is okay, but there’s definitely room for improvement in several areas.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in had a fantastic ocean view from the balcony, which was definitely a highlight. It featured a kitchen, living area, and a separate bedroom, but it did smell a bit moldy and didn’t have enough beds for my family. The space was adequate, but a sofa bed would have been a better fit instead of the small dining set.

Service

5.0

Service was a bit hit or miss. There were times where staff seemed more focused on business than being friendly. They gave me the room key without much explanation and didn't warn me about potential scams happening around.

Location

7.0

The location was great for watching the sunrise every morning and was close to beach bars and eateries. However, the surroundings didn't quite match what I saw online, and it was disheartening to see smoking neighbors despite strict rules against it.

Dining

5.0

The dining arrangements were not ideal as breakfast options were pretty limited. I had to walk a good distance to get breakfast, and by the time I returned to my room, the food wasn’t warm anymore.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities had some good potential, especially with the pools, but they weren’t heated as promised except for the jacuzzi. Parking was a hassle due to limited space.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the rooms were clean and beautifully decorated, and the location was fantastic, being right next to the beach. However, I did experience noise issues due to the laundry room being right next to my room. The service was decent but not overly friendly. Overall, there's good value here, but the noise could be a dealbreaker for some.

Rooms

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the oceanfront view from my room was absolutely stunning, making my stay worthwhile. However, cleanliness was definitely an issue, as I had to deal with a live roach and some unsightly splatters on the walls. While the service was generally friendly, the dining options left much to be desired, especially considering how cold my breakfast ended up being. Overall, the location is decent, but there's definitely room for improvement in cleanliness and dining.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. while the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the amenities like the pools were plentiful, the rooms definitely needed some upkeep and were not as spacious as I had hoped.
