I had mixed feelings about my stay at Origin at Seahaven. The welcoming atmosphere and safety measures made me feel secure during my visit, but my overall experience was dampened by cleanliness issues and inconvenient rules. The beautiful beach access was a definite highlight, along with the pool area being a great place to relax, though the dining options left something to be desired.

The Origin at Seahaven has a lot going for it, especially with its proximity to the beach and nearby dining options. My room was clean and offered amazing views, making for a relaxing stay.

My stay at Origins was quite underwhelming overall. The resort has some potential with spacious accommodations, but several issues made it frustrating. The confusing check-in process and strict pool rules really took away from enjoying my time there. While I did appreciate the spacious suite, certain aspects detracted from what should have been a relaxing getaway.

Rooms

6.0

The two-bedroom suite was spacious and furnished decently, but I noticed some leaks in the fixtures that made staying there less comfortable. Plus, the carpet had stains, which made it feel less clean than it should have.

Service

7.0

I found the front desk staff to be helpful, although the check-in experience was quite slow due to computer issues. Some security staff were not friendly, which put a damper on my initial impression.

Location

7.0

The location was decent, being close to Pier Park and restaurants, but the resort did not sit directly on the beach. It’s okay, but I was hoping for something more centrally located to the beach.

Dining

Facilities

The pool area was disappointingly small for such a large resort, and there weren’t enough towels either in the rooms or at the pool, which was frustrating during our stay.

Our stay at the resort was quite the mixed bag. While we enjoyed the clean and spacious accommodations that allowed for a comfortable family vacation, we did encounter some significant issues with the service and noise levels. Beach access was fantastic, being just steps away, but we did experience disturbances from guests above us that put a damper on our relaxation. Overall, the resort is a decent choice but definitely comes with some drawbacks.
