Had a great stay at this new Hilton property located on St Simon's island…read more Located in a residential neighborhood on a golf course, the resort has a club house, pool, fitness center, golf course, and a multitude of different rooms. Let me start by saying that every employee we met was courteous and helpful from on island recommendations for dining to addressing concerns. We used their remote check in option through our phones and went straight to our room. If you use remote check in, your key goes to your phone via the Hilton app. This can be a little cumbersome bc you will have an interior and exterior door to navigate and they did not like to de-conflict with each other so sometimes it was hard to find the right key. I just went to the front desk and got old school key cards and did not have the issue anymore. Our room was a well apportioned single bedroom with a king bed, screened in porch, wet bar, microwave, refrigerator and Keurig. They provide in shower shampoo, body wash and conditioner. I used it and it smelled good, my wife did not bc the pumps meant she had to pump the shampoo a lot to get enough for her hair. Also, there is no shelving in the walk in shower so she had to sit her razor and other toiletries on the ledge for the door. The bed was comfortable and the AC kept the room cool but bc of the humidity, the room just felt damp and wet. The carpet felt moist when you walked on it. My wife and I both enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch in the morning talking and watching wildlife. It may have been too hot in the August afternoon to do that. We did not get to enjoy the pool bc of the weather but the gym is well equipped and has some items you will not see in a standard hotel gym like Olympic lifting weights and barbells, kettlebells, a battle rope and plyo work ladders. As well as treadmills, cycles, dumbbells and med balls. On-site restaurant Sago was pretty good when we ate there. And is a good option when you don't want to drive. Great option for a weekend getaway but I am concerned about how the property will age if they do not figure out the room humidity thing.

This was very very disappointing…read more My husband and I stayed at Sea Palm Resort to celebrate our anniversary after traveling all the way from Maryland. We had been looking forward to this trip and expected a higher level of service based on the resort's reputation. Unfortunately, our experience did not meet those expectations. BTW, all that texting they do before you arrive and checking in on you is purely theatrics. The room itself was spacious, and I really enjoyed the view of nature from our room. We even spotted what I believe was a bobcat in the distance, which was a nice surprise. However, there were several issues that affected our stay. First, the floors did not appear to have been properly mopped before our arrival. There was hair in both the bedroom and the bathroom that appeared to have been left by previous guests. To confirm my concern, I wiped the floor with a damp paper towel, and it came back dirty. We reported this to the front desk, but no one ever came to address the issue. The shower gel was also disappointing. The product had been watered down so much that it was almost the consistency of water. It would shoot out of the dispenser instead of dispensing like a gel and produced almost no lather. That's kind of nasty to be honest dollar tree shower gel would have been better. It's giving "we are barely staying in business." The biggest issue was the air conditioning. It stopped working twice during our stay. We stayed there 3 nights and 2 of them there was no AC. Outside felt better than inside. Maintenance came out after the first report and got it running again, but only a few hours later it stopped working once more. With temperatures outside exceeding 100°F, the room became very uncomfortable. We had to sleep with the deck door open because even the fan was not working so there was no circulating air. Another disappointment was housekeeping. We stayed for three nights (Saturday through Monday), did not have a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, yet no one serviced our room during our stay. We never received fresh towels, the room was never cleaned, and no one checked in to see if we needed anything. Apparently you have to request housekeeping and telling them the floor is dirty isn't enough to get housekeeping to the room. Another concern was that we saw roaches in the room, regular household roaches. In all of my years of traveling, I have never stayed at a hotel where I encountered roaches, so this was very disappointing and concerning. Overall, the room itself had potential, and I appreciated the peaceful setting and beautiful natural surroundings. However, the cleanliness, lack of housekeeping, diluted bath products, and repeated air conditioning issues prevented this from feeling like the upscale resort experience we expected. I hope management addresses these concerns because the property has potential, but based on this visit, it did not live up to its reputation.

Tasteful Temptations was a fantastic company to work with! 100% of my communication was with Sara,…read morewho was fast with her responses, which was very important to me, since I was planning a Coastal Georgia wedding from San Diego. Tasteful supplied food for our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception, both of which were great. My husband and I didn't really have any idea what we wanted to serve at our wedding, but Sara helped us put together an amazing menu! We received compliments on the food all night long, both nights. We had tomato chicken and pulled pork for our rehearsal, and crab cakes, beef tenderloin, and breaded chicken for our reception. The event staff both nights were great, really went above and beyond for us. They even grabbed a photobooth photo at the start of the night, which I love!! Highly highly highly recommend!!! Thank you so much!

The food was out of this world good. People never seem to comment on wedding food but we had multiple guest talk about how amazing the food was prepared by Brian and his staff. I highly recommend Shrimp and Grits if you use Tasteful Temptations. They were the best I've ever had. We also did a pasta bar which was a hit and sliders. The rehearsal dinner we had steak and parmesan crusted chicken and WOW was it good! This is hands down the best caterer on the Island. Big thanks to Veronica and Brian for helping us, we were difficult at times :) The entire staff was helpful and on their A game.

Went for lunch with my wife and found Megan our server to be very nice & helpful with menu items. My wife had the Grouper Finger Basket w/fries. The fish was cooked nicely and the shoe string fries were tasty. Comes with both tartar & cocktail sauces. I had the Gyro w/Brussel sprouts including the Thai sauce & honey sauce for dipping the sprouts on Megan's recommendation . She also recommended the pasta salad which I will try next time. Megan was spot on with dipping the sprouts in both sauces! The Gyro I had was with lamb, tomato, lettuce & tzatziki sauce. The meat was hot & veggies w/sauce were cold and was fantastic! From the ambience standpoint there weren't a lot of folks at lunch time other than those playing cards or mahjong which was about 10 people. But, there is a large bar that is fully stocked, ample high top tables for eating or drinking etc. & quite a few pool tables & video game room. My only knock is no draft beer & they serve Pepsi products. Other than those 2 items, I will come back & try dinner time as I believe the vibe will have more energy. The food again was very good and they seem to do a good take out business too. Looking forward to trying the dinner hour time frames.
