8.2/10 Very Good! (1,505 reviews)

The Hotel was fairly clean. The beds were comfortable. The ceiling fan blade was dangling when we walked in our room. The windows open all the way and that is a big safety concern for me as i have dogs, and children. No ac, and the room was so warm it was hard to sleep. Nice views of the bay. Close to Mo's for dinner. Staff is very nice. Fridge in room is really noisy. People were smoking on the balconies so we cpupdnt open our window to cool off.

Captive marine animals being bred for entertainment. No access to natural air or sun. Tragic. Don't support this place. Even if the owners love their seals, they should stop breeding them and put an end to this antiquated entertainment practice.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Didn't actually go inside, so it might be better than its outward appearance. Seemed small, smelly and dirty from the outside.

3/5 - Okay

Did not visit

Very lame. Not much to see here. Be careful around the seals when people are feeding them because it is easy to get splashed in the face with seal water.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

We were just disappointed, its pretty dark and dim in there, almost reminded me of walking into a cave, I was expecting more interesting sea creatures, or maybe they would have been more interesting if the place was all lighted up with natural lighting and big tanks rather then tiny dark, dirty looking tanks that the creatures were in, it was kind of a lot of money for us to spend to be disappointed with it. But everyone is different in what they enjoy
