Just returned from this hotel..We stayed on El Mar last year and really liked where we stayed but the room we wanted seemed to have a bit of a price hike so we thought we would try Southern Seas. Some of this is the same as a lot of other reviewers have said. Teresa in the office was very nice... More

I wrote a glowing review a couple of weeks ago, but for some reason, it has not been posted...I'll try again. Teresa in the office truly wants the customer to have a good time and to be happy. She is friendly, helpful, and efficient. The internet absolutely does work now. This was important to me and I was a bit... More

We spent 3 nights here and really didn't want to leave. We were in room 37 which is probably one of the smaller rooms. The furniture was a brand new and very nice. The room and the grounds were spotless. The only problem I could find was the mattress was horrible. There was no chair or table in the room... More

Just returned from a trip to Lauderdale By The Sea and can't wait to go back. Definitely planning on staying at the Southern Seas again. The location is perfect. There is nothing better than walking out your door and being just steps to the ocean. And it's walking distance to Publix, restaurants, bars, shopping and the pier. The woman that... More

If you are looking for a beachfront hotel, you could find no better at any price. I lived in Fort Lauderdale for six years, and am very familiar with south Florida. From my perspective, Lauderdale by the Sea is the best stretch of beach and this hotel is, by far, the best place to stay. If you want the full-service... More

Really pleasant experience here,love the Lauderdale by the Sea mentality to 'DO beach towns right!' Strangely enough,we;ve returned to this little beach community 5 different times in various seasons.Pretty can't describe the manicured streets and... More

This was a great hotel. My only complaint is the lack of Internet service. I complained multiple times and the issue was not resolved. This hotel is in a great location and was very clean. The house keeping services was great.

Our desire to have a hotel room right on the beach, with an uninterrupted view of the ocean was achieved when we arrived in apt. #19. The ocean front efficiency apartment had an amazing view. The accommodation was very spacious, clean and had everything you could possibly need. The only negatives I could mention are:- 1. The bed cover was... More
