Overall we had a great stay. The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent. We also really enjoyed that the hotel is adults only, which made the atmosphere very relaxing. The only issue was the AC in our room, it didn’t cool enough, and other guests mentioned it had been like that for a few days. Hopefully that gets fixed soon because everything else about the hotel was great.
We have done our fair share of traveling but this hotel was the exception with the welcoming feeling from beginning to end!
We Highly recommend this adult only hotel for convenience, beautiful rooms, beach front views, amazing food made to order and a home away from home feeling! We are definitely planning on this being “ our place” to return to for upcoming trips in the near future and beyond!
The room was clean and fresh, and very spacious. We had everything we needed. The staff was super kind and friendly. Perfect location, nice and calm, direct access to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay!

The staff and Richard the proprietor, was very engaging. The setting is idyllic, directly on the beach and the view from our balcony was framed by palm trees and the sounds of the surf.
Our stay was lovely. The view was spectacular. The room clean and the little kitchen spotless. The hotel is located only a short walk to restaurants and cute beach front area. It is a smokefree hotel but there was a smoker located in a room below us that smoked on the balcony.....reason for 4 stars. To enjoy the beach it is only a few steps away. Very picturesque setting. loved it and the staff helpful and friendly. There is security at night so very safe and we never had any trouble finding a place to park the car.
I was impressed with the warm welcome and the quick and easy check-in process. The hotel is located right off the beach and close to many shops and restaurants. My room was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend the Sea Lord hotel and suites for short and long stays.
This hotel was so nice, right on the beach. Our room had a wonderful view of the ocean, the balcony is very large. Staff were great. Would definitely stay again.
The staff at this property went above and beyond!! I would a 100% go back to this wonderful resort!!! The views are amazing and there is not enough space to write all the wonderful things that the staff did and treat my wife and myself! There is no place like it! Family atmosphere!!! Forever grateful!!!

Well, the clean room didn’t write high out of our seven day stay our room wasn’t clean twice so I had to go down and get extra towels and coffee for the room however, Marcos, shnee Shanae. And Richard were most welcoming sweet and helpful. This was our second stay there and we will be back again. Hopefully we get a room with an ocean view instead of number 506.
