I have stayed at this hotel many times. No complaints! Rooms are always clean, staff is wonderful, and the beach is pure heaven. You can't go wrong staying at this property.

This is our third time staying at this hotel. We stayed in room 32 this time which had a slight view of the beach but the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in at a motel (if you like a soft bed). Some of the furnishings could be replaced as they are showing their age but it was clean... More

large comfortable room (we had an efficiency) perhaps not the most modern or glamorous, but clean and reasonably priced. good location for walking to the modest shopping and dining on the beach. more options just a little further. located on a rare couple of blocks of El Mar without mammoth, unappealing condos to block the sun. staff was very helpful...

I went here with a group of girls and stayed in 23 and 37 and we had such a great time! It's a wonderful location: it's on the beach, close to all the restaurants and shops, and walking distance to the grocery store! Everything was very clean and the staff at the resort were very helpful! I would recommend this... More

Had a great time at the Southern Seas it is the perfect location for families, couples, and friends! The staff was very friendly and helpful, the grounds clean and well kept, rooms spacious and comfortable, and the best part for me was the location right on the beach! Every morning we would walk to the grocery store, have breakfast on... More

I just got back from staying at the Southern Seas resort with 5 of my girlfriends in Unit 23 & 37 which are connecting rooms and it was an amazing/relaxing weekend. I listed my favorite things about staying here: 1. The room has a nice kitchen and big fridge so you don’t have to eat out for every meal 2.... More

This was our first time at Lauderdale By The Sea and at this hotel. We were a family of four adults and a grandchild who is not quite two years old. We had room 115 and 117 which were adjoining. The rooms directly faced the ocean and the pool and had a full kitchen and living room and dining room.... More

We stayed with Lily, the manager, for the 3th time in a row and we loved it. The resort has all kind of rooms with or without kitchen, small or large, whatever you need. You live directly on the beach and the pool is really nice and warm. Restaurants, Publix, Walgreens in walking distance. Every morning we got a newspaper.... More

Location was fantastic! Friendly staff (and guests!) Spacious room with most everything you could need. Room was dated, but was fine since we were constantly in and out from the beach and pool. Nice walk to everything in town and beach was close (right outside our door) and clean. Wonderful to have towels and beach chairs provided. Quick maintenance and... More
