Resort hotel for kids, not couples

Jul 2, 2025 Getaway43096925324

If you are not traveling with small children, please skip this hotel. The pool is small and overcrowded with children. Not ideal for couples. Also, the hotel’s restaurant called Piper, is a pass. Don’t forget the $50 daily resort fee and $50 daily valet parking fee.

Maintenance Lacking and Hesitant Customer Service

We have loved the Seabird since it opened and make it an annual tradition (past 4 years). It’s always been lovely and great quality in the rooms. This time was disappointing.

We have loved the Seabird since it opened and make it an annual tradition (past 4 years). It’s always been lovely and great quality in the rooms. This time was disappointing. I’ll start with smallish to big problems. Our room was poorly maintained it seems and it had so many issues. The bathroom had missing hooks (broken off it seemed) and it was the only place to hang your towel in the whole room. The electrical was wonky and would flicker in the bathroom anytime anything of weight would hit walls, the floor, or any surrounding area. Also the bedside lamp was wonky because when we would dim it and set it, all of a sudden it would flicker on and off in a repeated pattern… then it would randomly turn off. The cleaners must have not finished cleaning or just forgot and left behind a dirty microfiber fluorescent towel which made it feel yucky. The worst part was that the blackout curtains were completely missing and we were facing the Marriott sign (high rewards marriott member here!) … the sign was pretty bright at night and within the blackout curtains it completely ruined our trip with our kids. We got the secluded bedroom / living room to be able to enjoy with the kids (separate from them) and the kids ended up falling asleep late because they were distracted by the bright sign… and then they woke up extra early (and bothered us) because they woke up with the bright sunrise. When we expressed our disappointment and pointed out all the issues to staff, they didn’t offer anything. They only offered for us to move to the same kind of room. So we did, but all that moving around interrupted our plans for the day with the kids (we had to wait around for the new room to be ready so we could move our stuff) and then we would’ve had to check out in a day. Our trip felt too short because of all the disruption. We aren’t even the complaining type. My husband asked for a manager and spoke to them kindly and at first they said all they could offer was relocation, then it was just points, but we couldn’t even use them until after our stay (not on the current stay). My husband complained and wanted an extra night to make up for our ruined trip and finally they said ok. All we wanted to do was make our current trip better. Not come back for another trip after a ruined trip. Something to think about. Don’t offer future perks, offer current and present solutions that would make your guest’s current stay wonderful. It was sad that my husband had to push for this. Staff said “oh 29,000 points is all we can offer but you can only use it after a certain amount of days later”. Yea… no. If they hadn’t granted our request for an additional night, we would have never come back. We are high Marriott members so next time we would just be choosing the Marriott hotel next door instead. Thankfully… as if somehow magically the same manager was able to grant us our wish… they obliged and we got an extra night. It made our trip so much better and we were very appreciative. We dined at your restaurants, paid for food by your pool and made sure to show appreciation. Because we believe it’s a two way street. Thank you for allowing us to keep our tradition and we will be back again. Hopefully with a hotel much better maintained. Please don’t let this hotel get run down! Read less

I stayed at the Hyatt Seabird Resort for my 40th birthday because I did a half restaurant buy-out at their restaurant, Piper, and wanted everything in one place. First, the hotel is beautiful. The lobby is open and well designed, it feels incredibly luxurious. We had a king, ocean view with the balcony, which was stunning. Ride checked us into the room and was very kind and helpful. But most of this review is going to be about Piper, their hotel restaurant. I worked with Monika and Allison for a few months to plan this party, and they were so accommodating. I was able to meet Monika on property and she was able to answer every question and went ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL expectations. I also worked with Alyssa a few times who was always very kind. Nate, the manager, was the best. We had met him on a previous trip, and he was so helpful, consistently asking my friends who were setting up the flowers what he could do, how he could help, checked on us throughout the night. They accommodated all of our needs, gave the best service, the food was incredible (it was our 4th time dining with them), and all of my friends (we had about 40) could not stop RAVING about the food and how nice everyone was. I'm telling you, their yellow fin tuna appetizer is SO good, people were drinking the sauce out of the bowls. I didn't get all the servers names, but Andreas was great, and Debonee, who wasn't our server this past weekend, but was the other times we visited, is so knowledgeable and kind. The host, who has been working every time we're there and wears a seersucker suit jacket has also gave us top notch service every time. We also met a couple of the bartenders at the lobby bar, The Shore Room, Christian, and I can't remember the other one's name, I keep thinking it's Kyle, but he made our drinks and they were fantastic. I highly recommend The Pineapple Suite and the Espresso Martini. I randomly ran into their engineer Fred about 5 different times in different places and he was even a delight. The room itself was very quiet, you couldn't hear other guests through walls or ceilings. The bathroom is spacious with a great rainfall or regular shower head. We were able to keep the thermostat very comfy and the bed was luxurious. To finish off our weekend, Iman - the bellhop, came to our room to help us get to the car. We had A LOT of items, my birthday presents, a dozen center pieces, water, food, flower buckets! We had a lot and he was a machine. He even laid down a towel on our back seat for the flowers because we ran out of room in the trunk and he didn't want our car interior to get dirty. We had a cabana by the pool on Saturday with a great server, McKenna. It felt very luxurious and just set the right tone. But also, some of us wanted to go down to the beach, and they have hotel amenities at the beach. The guy who set up our chairs and umbrella at the beach was so quick and helpful (forget his name, buzzcut hair from Carlsbad). I'm very pale so the beach or pool are not really my thing, but having the cabana at the pool, and the umbrella at the beach was FANTASTIC. Overall, one of the BEST weekend experiences. Hotel 5 out 5, Pool 5 out of 5, Shore Room Bar 5 out of 5, Piper - 6 out of 5, perfection. Thank you to EVERYONE who contributed to a great 40th weekend! Read less

Seabird - Everything you need, and more!

Seabird is your one-stop vacation destination. Seabird has it all, and the friendliest- kindest hospitality professionals you will meet. I’m hoping to win the powerball- so I can just move into the hotel. It’s really special and the ocean air is especially fresh and restorative there.

Must stay

I absolutely love this hotel. The location is wonderful - complimentary beach chair and umbrella service and I was able to get a lounge chair by the pool facing the ocean every day.
