A February 2001 trip to Captiva Island by aussiemate
Quote: Our most recent stay at Captiva was for our wedding, and we could not have had a better time. The weather and scenery were perfect.
Overview
The food is generally quite good at the resort, but it is pricey, so be prepared. Surprisingly, prices at the salon are low, so spend more money on indulging in pampering rather than food!
Hotel | "South Seas Resort"
We arrived at the resort a few days before the wedding to relax and unwind and take care of last minute details, and we loved the clear blue-green ocean water and white sandy beaches. We also enjoyed the golf course and just walking along the grounds. There is also a wonderful pool, and a marina filled with gorgeous yachts. There was a big game fishing contest going on while we were there, and it was fun to see the contestants coming back with their prize catches.
We were so happy with the service before and during the wedding. The coordinators managed to handle all kinds of details while not making themselves noticeable to our guests. When we got to our room after the reception, we were touched to see all of our gifts waiting for us as well as two champagne glasses and a bottle of champagne from the Resort.
We both were completely relaxed during the day because Michelle and her assistants handled all of the headaches. We look forward to staying at the Resort again soon.

Restaurant | "Cap'n Al's Seafood Gril"
I had a terrific grouper sandwich at lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere overlooking the Yacht Harbor. We saw two dolphins swimming between the boats together. Food was pricey, but filling.

The cakes were also excellent, so it's important to save room after all of the king crab legs, grouper, and shrimp. If you don't like seafood, you will have to dine on veggies, rice and cheese.
