Not sure why this property gets such middling reviews. I stayed here for a week on a business…read moretrip, and really enjoyed it. Quiet property, rooms well maintained and recently updated, great marsh views, and minutes away from the best restaurants on the island. Super friendly and accommodating staff, especially Gabriel, Michaela, and Khellen (probably misspelled those last two). I did have a minor billing error, but the folks at the front desk made sure to resolve it. My only dings on the room would be the indoor humidity level (but hey, you're steps away from the marsh, what do you expect) and the shower being in need of a deep cleaning (bit of mold and soap scum buildup). Also--and this is super minor--there is no shelf in the shower, so you're stuck storing your toiletries on the floor if you don't want to use the hotel-provided stuff. Oh, and there's no lifeguard on duty at the pool, so it can get a bit rowdy depending on how many teenagers are around. All in all, I'm very happy with my stay here, and would definitely recommend this property if you don't want to deal with the craziness around the south end of the island. Also, for the other reviewer who said they had to haul their luggage up stairs... there are ramps at every building. You just have to look for them.

I didn't even think to check reviews before booking. We trusted Hilton's website, good reviews…read morethere, as a luxury resort. This is really run like a small, mom and pop hotel, that is severely understaffed. The front desk works extremely hard, seems like there is usually only one person there at a time, and it can be a lot to handle. They are completely out of soap. No soap in bathrooms to wash your hands. Gives off vibes like they do not have enough money to buy the staples to keep this place going. They have scheduled daily "cocktail" hours, like cookies, games, mocktails, etc....... yet, no one manages it, no one there is making the drinks, making the cookies. These are the little things that make "resort" hotels a little nicer. But they don't feel like they need to bother. The pool was closed for remodeling, I wish we were told when we booked, we probably would have stayed at another property. (Yes, you could use their sister property in theory, but that really wasn't convenient for us). It seems like the hotels main focus is golf, keep the golfers happy, and it's good enough. But families, are brushed to the side. The room it self was good. Seems like each room is different. Good amount of space, especially if you are staying for an extended amount of time. I wish there were really glass wear in the room like most Hilton hotels. Shower was disgusting, pretty sure it wasn't stained, just poorly cleaned. You have to request housekeeping, which we typically don't use, but it's nice when you at least see housekeeping regularly so you can give them your trash or get fresh towels. We had no where to put our garbage. Rooms are designed weird, where you enter one door, with your key, just to get access to 3 more doors. So there is 300, 300A, 300B. Which can be very confusing. Some reason, they labeled every room at their hotel with 300. First floor, 300's, Second floor, 300's... The views were nice, it does look nice in the area, nice greenery and small lakes. Big marsh views, for the most part you get privacy, you can open up your windows. But there are people walking their dogs early in the morning.

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.
