Jan Kok Vacations from $1,086

​The Royal Sea Aquarium sits on a beautiful, clean beachfront property with friendly, multilingual staff. However, the front desk is understaffed usually just one receptionist and one concierge, meaning check-in can easily take over 30 minutes after a long day of travel. ​The oceanfront rooms are spacious, clean, and feature true ocean views and a kitchenette. Unfortunately, genuine hospitality ends at the room door. Standard hotel conveniences like in-room coffee, shower caps, and ice buckets are absent unless purchased separately. Additionally, typical resort perks like water sports aren't included, you’ll face extra charges for almost everything ($60 for an ice bucket, $10/hour for kayaks, plus a $30 towel deposit). Most resorts will give you a graceful 1hr late checkout, expect a $25+ fee. Overall, the constant fee-for-service model undermines what could otherwise be a peaceful getaway.

This place was excellent and exactly how it was described. Location was within minutes from the store, mall, restaurants and beaches. The entire house had exactly what we needed and more. Beautiful views and very relaxing. We’ll definitely be booking again.
