Great hotel, but skip the room service
"The Seabird was a great stay! Very clean, comfy beds, cool amenities, and it smells AMAZING! The Apothi products were amazing.

"We found our stay at Marbella very enjoyable. Our king corner unit had a great view of the ocean and pier. The sound of the waves in the evening was very relaxing.

Great location
"Loved this hidden gem! Clean, large and had everything we needed. Friendly staff and free garage parking. We could see the water from our balcony (when it wasn’t foggy). Only downside is it’s quite noisy, but this is not the property’s fault at all. Will definitely stay again."
