Location: Captiva Island vs Cape Coral Marina

South Seas – Location

South Seas sits on 330 acres of Gulf-front property on Captiva Island with private beach and its own marina.

  • Private Gulf-front beach with 2.5 miles of shell-laden shoreline.
  • Island setting with resort trolley and on-site golf-cart/bicycle rentals; some island areas restrict cars.
  • Nearest airport: Southwest Florida Intl. Airport (RSW) about 39 miles away; transfers typically require ground transport plus the island leg.

Choose South Seas for island beach access and a more remote, nature-focused stay.

The Westin Cape Coral Resort At Marina Village – Location

The Westin Cape Coral Resort At Marina Village sits beside a marina in Cape Coral’s Pelican neighborhood.

  • Located at 5951 Silver King Blvd., Cape Coral, FL; easy road access from the mainland.
  • Near Tarpon Point and local Cape Coral attractions; preferred airport is Southwest Florida Intl. (RSW).
  • Marina-side setting rather than Gulf-front beach—boat tours and marina activities are available on site.

Choose The Westin for marina access and a Cape Coral base with straightforward road access.

Rooms: villas & cottages vs suite-style hotel rooms

South Seas – Rooms

South Seas features a large mix of multi-bedroom villas, cottages and rooms for families and groups.

  • Multiple unit types including Villa, 1–3 Bedrooms (Beach, Bayside, Marina), cottages and larger beach homes up to 6 bedrooms.
  • Multi-bedroom layouts suit families or groups needing separate sleeping areas and kitchen-style living.
  • In-room WiFi is included via the resort fee; check-in at the main resort address on Plantation Road.

South Seas is the practical choice for families or groups wanting villa-style space on the beach.

The Westin Cape Coral Resort At Marina Village – Rooms

The Westin offers 308 air-conditioned rooms and a wide range of suites and two-bedroom configurations.

  • Room types include Traditional Room, 2 Queen Beds, River View (Balcony); One Bedroom King, 1 Bedroom Residential Suite; and many 2-bedroom/2-bath suites with marina or river views.
  • Rooms have private balconies, Egyptian cotton sheets, flat-screen TVs and complimentary WiFi.
  • Typical hotel conveniences: 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, room service (limited hours), and housekeeping on request.

The Westin works well if you want hotel-service convenience with suite-style layouts and private balconies.

Dining & drinks: avenues for families vs a single hotel restaurant plus market

South Seas – Dining & drinks

South Seas provides multiple on-property restaurants, casual outlets and a market—many venues are reserved for guests and owners.

  • Harborside (Italian steakhouse overlooking the marina), Redfish Grill (seafood), Beach House (Gulf-inspired, on the beach), Scoops & Slices, Flippers, Tarpon Bar, Provisions market and Starbucks.
  • Most sit-down restaurants are for resort guests, owners and Club Captiva members; Starbucks and Provisions are public-accessible.
  • Poolside and casual options make it easy for families to grab kid-friendly meals during the day.

South Seas is heavier on varied on-site dining choices, from casual pizza to a marina steakhouse and beachfront dining.

The Westin Cape Coral Resort At Marina Village – Dining & drinks

The Westin has one on-site restaurant plus bar/lounge and poolside bar options, with room service during limited hours.

  • Eat at the hotel's restaurant or bar/lounge; cooked-to-order breakfast is available for a surcharge.
  • Poolside bar and room service cover casual needs; a convenience shop or nearby dining options are available off site.
  • Dietary options noted (vegan and vegetarian menu options available) and breakfast ranges in price.

The Westin is focused on a single on-site dining outlet plus bar options—expect fewer on-site restaurants than South Seas.

Pools, beach & signature amenity: multiple pools and private beach vs pool and marina

South Seas – Pools, beach & signature amenity

South Seas centers around beach access plus six outdoor pools, a waterslide and a family water complex.

  • Six outdoor pools including a Bayview main pool and water-slide pool; hours and slide rules posted (e.g., Bayview pool 9 AM–sunset; slide 11 AM–5 PM).
  • Separate adults-only pool area and Tiki Bar for guests seeking quieter pool time.
  • Private Gulf-front beach with beach loungers and shelling opportunities; marina offers boat tours and fishing.

South Seas is the clear pick if beachfront access, multiple pools and water attractions are your priority.

The Westin Cape Coral Resort At Marina Village – Pools, beach & signature amenity

The Westin features an outdoor pool, a hot tub and direct marina access for boating activities.

  • One outdoor pool, one hot tub and poolside bar; pool access hours are published by the property.
  • On-site marina with boat tours and watercraft options—marina activities are a key draw instead of a Gulf beach.
  • Spa and fitness options complement pool leisure time for adults or couples.

The Westin suits guests who want marina-side recreation and a hotel-style pool rather than beach-focused amenities.

Wellness & nightlife: spas, fitness and low-key evening options

South Seas – Wellness & nightlife

South Seas offers the Kay Casperson Spa and family-friendly evening options like beachfront sunset viewing and casual bars.

  • Kay Casperson Spa & Boutique with massages, facials, mani/pedi services and a sauna/shower area; spa hours published Mon–Sat and Sun.
  • Fitness center open with posted hours (official hours 5 AM–8 PM); resort trolley operates into the evening.
  • Evening venues are relaxed—beach sunsets, Tarpon Bar and occasional live or family-friendly entertainment depending on season.

South Seas mixes a resort spa and low-key island evenings; it’s not a nightlife-focused property.

The Westin Cape Coral Resort At Marina Village – Wellness & nightlife

The Westin includes a full-service spa, 24-hour fitness facilities and a bar/lounge for evening drinks.

  • Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials; spa complements the onsite wellness offering.
  • 24-hour fitness center and additional wellness facilities (sauna, steam room noted in amenities).
  • Evening options center on the hotel bar/lounge and poolside bar; Cape Coral dining and nightlife are off-property.

The Westin is better suited if you want a hotel spa and round-the-clock fitness amenities rather than island nightlife.
