Christina and her team could not possibly have done anything else to make the day more perfect. They were so helpful and organized working through all questions ahead of time and very professional.

I highly recommend hiring them for your special events.

Not only was every dish positively delicious (the stuffed mushrooms are to die for), but was also very nicely presented (simple, yet elegant). Their wait staff is also very professional and personable. From set-up to tear-down, Straton Hall did a fantastic job!

Just saw the response from the business owner-more reason to not use Straton hall…read more First of all, I was never contacted by Straton Hall. No one ever called me. I had to keep following up. The one time I spoke with someone that mentioned a $500 fee, I did ask what that fee included. She told me a man named Jay would call me back. He never did. I eventually just gave up. How is that "excelling in destination weddings..." as the owner stated below. A simple "we are sorry about not calling back" would have been fine, even understandable. But don't lie on Yelp to cover your bee-hind saying you called me on several different occasions. Sad, really.

Even though hurricane…read moreMatthew had just swept through the Atlantic beaches she was more than willing to get out and find the best location for us. She handled all of the hotel arrangements, wedding, and photography. She even came out the evening before, on our time schedule and went over the details and drove us out to the location for approval. She made everything so easy and stress free. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a stress free wedding. She did a spectacular job.

If you are smart you will not use this company. Terri Karvunis the owner operator dropped the ball…read moreon our wedding we spent over 7k with her and an additional 2,500 with the hotel for the wedding. Not only did she fail to provide the full service when we were hit with an additional $500 or we do not get our wedding pictures. Terri is a fraud and cannot remember anything. Even sending her emails with pictures did not reach her level of intelligence. When you pay this amount for something you expect details to be correct not for someone to fail as bad as Terri did. To name a few issues that came out from her lack of performance: The flowers were not even close we sent a picture of tropical flowers we got all roses, Booked a trolley for the wedding with two trips to pick up the almost 50 guest but got one trip and the historical ride after the wedding the guest were to get was a fast drive through with no information at all, setup makeup and hair but the person only was told about hair, provided most of the table decorations with not discount, the cake was delivered to us after the wedding but with no box to bring it home with, the cupcakes that were left after the wedding were to be brought to us but were not, the wedding planner "Terri Karvunis" did not even show up on the wedding day till the time to go down. So nothing was preformed correctly. If I was you the person reading this I would insure that you never us this person. You will regret it.

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.
