We're so happy that our video helped you decide how you wanted to celebrate your upcoming birthday! We hope you love it as much as we did... it really is a stunning property. Heads up, they charge to use the pools on the rooftop. We both decided that if we were to come back, we'd pay for it one day and spend pretty much the entire day up there (between the pool, giant hottub, bar, and views, you'd never really need to leave). It might be a nice way to spend your birthday!

I've been seeing info on this place all over but your video is the first time that I've been interested in actually going there!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to “live through your Florida adventures”. Sadly, I couldn’t be in our Sarasota condo this year and be snowbirds due to health reasons. I’ve seen so many places to explore, enjoy views & empty beaches and places to get good food & drinks that won’t empty my bank account. You both helped my stay positive while enduring a sad, cold and rainy winter on an Islam Off Massachusetts. Should we run into you, the drinks are on me!!!🥰

Good to see reviews coming. I work for Allegiant and did attend dinner before opening. Not many complaints there. When business picks up though I wanna see how they hold up and see a review that is more like a real guest experience that isn't all promotion

@Explorcation

3 ай бұрын

We love flying Allegiant (have been doing so for over 10 years) and the Sunseeker was kind enough to host us, so we were excited to show the property in the best light possible. Thankfully, doing so was extremely easy as the resort is absolutely pristine. The one complaint we (and most other people it seems) would have is that there is no beach, but people have to realize that if this was on the beach the price would be twice as high. Next time we return, it will not be to vlog, but rather just to relax at the pools, which in our opinion are the highlight of the property.

Looks great, wife and I already planning our visit.

Another amazing job by you guys. The Sunseeker is down the road from us. Looking forward to visit it, once the busy season is over. I agree what they lack in beach access, they make up in those beautiful pools. One question? How is parking availability and is it free? Thank you and have a great weekend.

Thanks so much, Francisco! It was kind of a last trip, but we are so glad that we got the chance to visit, as it vastly exceeded our expectations! Parking is in a covered garage. It is not free... I believe it was $3.00 per hour or $15 for the full day. You do have to be staying at the resort to go into the pool, but you can still walk the path around it or dine at one of the poolside restaurants without actually staying there. We hope you two are doing well!

I've been following you two for a few years, always great content. I was surprised to see you down here in our hometown. This was a great review as always. My only comment for others is the closest actual beach for Sunseekers is Englewood (Manasota Key) but people should be aware it's a 45-minute drive from the resort in heavy traffic. The water in Charlotte Harbor is brackish, a combination of freshwater from the Peace River and the Gulf. The bottom of the harbor is muddy and doesn't smell so good, not too good for swimming. There's Port Charlotte Beach about (5) minutes from the resort but the "sand" is imported and again the bottom is pretty bad. Keep up the good work! :-)

Thanks so much for supporting our channel for the last two years. We really appreciate it. And thank you for taking the time to share the information about the closest beach.

I guess we're extra fortunate here in St. Pete to only have a 20 minute drive to the beach in bad traffic!
