Sandy Beach Resort or Sea Crest

My family will be staying the week of June 22-27 and I am trying to decide between the sandy beach resort and the sea crest. Does anyone know anything about these resorts? There will be 7 of us including a 3 year old and a 16 year old. The website for Sandy beach doesn%26#39;t give a lot of information but they have very reasonable prices. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

We stayed at SeaCrest several times but it%26#39;s been about 6 or 7 years since then %26amp; things can change drastically! At that time, we found it to be a great value for the money. If you read the reviews, they are mixed. I%26#39;m kind of on the picky side %26amp; I found it to be much better than the reviews suggested.

I don%26#39;t know anything about Sandy Beach.

First, be prepared for hart1 and some others on the board to tell you that ANY hotel south of the old Pavilion is a bad idea, and that the area is dangerous.

The area is not dangerous, but it is very crowded. And during the summer, that area is very loud (cars driving by all night with loud music and loud engines). Both hotels are also within walking distance of the Family Kingdom Amusement Park, which adds to the large crowds.

The Sandy Beach is a new resort, and I don%26#39;t know much about it. We haven%26#39;t stayed at the Sea Crest in about 8 years, but have heard that it was recently renovated.

If you are open to suggestions, then consider looking at hotels further north (as hart1 will suggest), or further south of the area where these two hotels are located. You will still be ';in the action,'; but it would be a quieter.
