Loved my stay at sea palace! As a solo traveler, I felt very safe staying here, Such a beautiful view from my room, and it was such a plus having the beach as a backyard. Cannot recommend this place enough.

This hotel is great for families, it has everything you need. The ocean view is amazing! The kitchen is always a must when i travel with family, we like to cook instead of eating out. The pink pearl restaurant at the building offers variety of food if you don't feel like cooking, you can also wash clothes if needed. The beach and boardwalk is right in front of the hotel, they offer free beach chairs for the guests, they offer stress free parking as well- as it can be very hard to find parking in the area due its busy streets. The cleaning lady was very nice. However bathroom has this constant smell i don't know where its coming from, one of the toilet barely flush as well. Front desk was great but i encounter one front desk lady where i kindly asked a question and she seems like she does not want to be bothered- it was my first time so i always do ask questions- this lady needs to be more friendly with guests. Overall, our stay was great. My family had fun and we will definitely come back again. Thank you.

Both rooms wr had were on the low side of ok. The tile showers had broken tile around the sides of the entry edges. Doors didnt close properly from warping. The build is in need of an over hall. The staff was kind. But island time is a real thing. Our check in was supposed to be a 4 pm. I believe we finally entered the unit at 5.30.

Great spot for touristy shopping and easy access to the beach. Nice that it has a private parking area for additional charge. I see it’s planned for upgrades in 2024 which will be nice and needed. Overall a good place to stay, I don’t have really anything negative, but I think the remodel this year will do it well

The location was favorable, offering immediate proximity to the waterfront and convenient pedestrian access to several retail establishments. However, the assigned room did not meet my expectations, as it provided a street view rather than the anticipated ocean view. Upon arrival, the room presented a minor odor, which was subsequently addressed and resolved within two days. Overall, the experience was satisfactory.

Location is prime, this was our 4th time staying at the Sea Palace. Employees are very helpful and amazing. Sadly, our room was not clean, we complained about having insects in our room, small roaches in the kitchen and they only gave us bug spray for it. Then, they came to spray the room but it didn't solve the problem. Really hope they solve this issue so it can keep being a great place to stay.
