10/10 Excellent

"Kind, fast a great location"

Best Western Seven Seas

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is exactly as advertised. The room was clean, excellent staff, pool was heated, and the restaurant staff and food are excellent. The treadmill in the gym didn’t work, but that’s common in a lot of hotels. It would be better if breakfast was included and a microwave in the room."
