Our take

Who it suits

A Seawall resort with room for the whole crew, dog included.

Lounge by the big resort pool, cross the street to the beach, and bring the dog: pets up to 50 lb are welcome, with a fenced dog area. In town for a conference? The convention center is a four-minute walk. Sailing? Leave the car for $100 + tax a week and ride the shuttle to the ship. Guests rate it 8.6 out of 10.

Good for

  • A big resort pool across from the beach
  • Bringing a dog up to 50 lb
  • Walking to the convention center
  • Cruise parking and a shuttle to the ship

Skip if

  • You want free parking
  • You want breakfast in the price
