Our stay was excellent; the facilities and staff were very welcoming. The only suggestion I would make is to include fresh seafood options on the menu—such as ceviche, for example—but otherwise, everything was fantastic.

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 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.

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.

The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. The exterior around the pool and leading out to the beach was nicely decorated and well kept. There was some construction/remodeling going on but things are looking like new. The kitchen/chef was taking a break in the off-season but there are many restaurants/bars about an eight minute walk down the road.

Amazing stay
We truly enjoyed our stay at The Sea Lord. Amazing staff and the location can’t be beat. For those looking to book and want to stay on the beach most days. There is a charge of $10.00 a day for the lounge chairs and $20.00 a day for the umbrella. We can not wait to plan our trip again.
