I looked up a few reviews on the Sea Gardens. After reading a few, I was a little afraid of the choice I had made in our accommodations in South Florida. Upon arrival, my worries were gone. This place was one of the nicest resorts I have ever stayed in (of course, I usually stay at a La Quinta off the interstate, but still, this place was very nice).
Now I know why they named this place the Sea Gardens -- every nook and cranny of the place is a spectacular garden. There are flowers and plants everywhere you look! The three swimming pools were very nice and two were heated. The resort has a nice gym. The location is ideal, just out of all the crowds.
My brother and I had a studio apartment, right on the ocean. The studio had a comfy queen size bed and a pretty decent fold out sofa bed. We had a small kitchen, dining area, and everything we needed to be comfortable for a week in 80-degree sunny weather.
Here are the few complaints I had. As soon as we got to the room, we realized the A/C did not work. The next day, they had changed out the A/C and we had no more troubles with it. The other small trouble was ants entering our room. These were not red ants (the kind that bite and hurt), but tiny, fast-moving, black ants. The locals called them sugar ants. I don't know if this is because they taste like sugar or eat sugar (but suspect the latter). The resort folks sprayed for ants and I think they entered the great anthill in the sky (or maybe they hid behind the oven until we left).
The beach was great. It had a lot of old people on it, but if you want to see the pretty people, just cruise on down to South Beach. After a few hours of that, you will yearn for the old folks back at the Sea Garden beach.
We got this hotel by using RCI Bonus Vacations. We paid $475 for the studio on the beach. I would stay at the Sea Gardens again in a heartbeat.
