Hotel SeaSpray Inn Beach Resort Singer Island (West Palm Beach, USA)

Two real priorities for many travelers are met here, in full ... it's clean and pet-friendly. Kids, too, are made to feel particularly welcome. It's not OTT but everything you could reasonably want is here.

There's an atmosphere here that can't be manufactured. It goes throughout the property and is emphasised to the full in the very friendly Tiki Bar where karaoke is a fun part of the staple diet.

Management and staff work like crazy to relax you into the atmosphere. You can walk very easily to the Gold Coast Beach and to breakfast and dinner restaurants. They do a weekend continental style breakfast here, too and the BBQ by the pool and Tiki Bar are both appetizing options.

Everything is really out of date. If renovated throughout, this place would be fantastic. As it is, currently, it can only be described as being … great!

Everything here seems to merit an extra cost and you need to be aware of this policy which can bump up the cost considerably. There is also a very long list of things you should and should not do. *Rather regimented for what is perceived as being a laid-back hotel!

The pool is a fraction of the expected size. Very disappointing. Sea views from the rooms are very limited; top floor rooms are the only ones with any chance of this. Breakfast is fine … but again the actual choice is watered down and very limited.
