I politely said no with my family caught up to me then the man ask me if I wanted to do a presentation over at the Coral sands. I told him I'm staying at Spinnaker resort, and that my hotel had already taken care of everything. He then continue to follow me and my family as we were leaving going to the parking lot, he drives a little blue car he identified himself as JD even had a dog in the front seat of his car. He basically harasses all the way to our vehicle. He clearly looked like he was homeless, and he had an odor of marijuana that I could clearly smell. I told him three different times that I wanted nothing from him, he then got very upset and said I should take me and my broke family and go back to wherever we're from. So I googled Coral sands and found out that this gentleman worked for a company called hhgs / Hilton Head guest services. Whoever hired that man was clearly overlooking the fact that he clearly looks like he's homeless and a drug addict. bad look for your company. I don't know how people can harass families coming off the beach, how a company would let that happen or even the town of Hilton Head.

My husband and I visited Hilton Head Island during the off season and were called over by a young…read moreman standing in a HHGS kiosk near our hotel. He told us that if we allowed someone to show us a resort, called Coral Sands, we would get a reward. He showed us sweet packages like a dinner cruise, gift cards, and other things. We had free time so decided, "Why not, they're just going to show us a resort?" He then asked us to pay a $20 deposit, probably so we don't flake on them. We get to a plaza off of Office Park road and see our destination, Quest Travel Club. We enter the storefront and are happily greeted by one associate while the other stares at us and another was on a cellphone. The associate gave us papers to fill out and return. We then were greeted by a woman, let's call her Kim, and she brought us over to a room that looked like a cafe. There were about five other couples sitting with five other salespeople when we walked in. Kim then sits us down at a table and starts to really get into her pitch. Basically she tries to use all types of tactics on us, including high pressure when it seemed I was not going to put myself in debt that very second. We politely decline and after firmly putting my foot down Kim flips a switch and turns off her charm. She tells us have a nice day and we figured out on our own where to go next. The next room we went to got us. They were also trying to sell us something but it was not as expensive as the previous offer. They claimed that by becoming a member, I could get crazy low prices on hotels that non members didn't have access to. She, let's call her Olive, also doled out gifts to us to entice us to buy. We decided it sounded good and used our gift card they gave us ($150), the deposit ($20), and $25 from our pockets to pay the joining fee. We were pretty excited and when we got back to the hotel, we started looking at our gifts that we had gotten from the club. They all were not what they seemed so we started doing some digging. The gifts had reviews about them from other people, almost all were negative. So we started to question the club itself but could find nothing on the internet about Quest Travel Club. Finally our detective work paid off and we found out that they had just changed the name recently. Hilton Head Guest Services and Palmera are two names that were and may still be connected to this company. Once that door was open, the negative reviews came pouring out!! So we were lied to and manipulated from the get go all the way to the end. Karma will handle them... that and this review and all the ones to come!

His restaurant bookings were so helpful when you travel, finding good places to eat that have a table can be very challenging. To not have to think about where I'm going each night was a blessing. I can't recommend enough having him plan your visit to what you love to do most when you travel.

He is a passionate and seasoned personal concierge who will hold your hand from start to finish and even check in with you once you land back in your hometown. From the minute I opened Kevin's website I just had an amazing feeling. I knew right away that Kevin would help us plan the BEST and least cookie cutter trip and experience for our family. There is so much information online about Charleston. And whilst it's exciting to research a new city, it's easy to get overwhelmed and end up with all the standard tourist traps. Enter Kevin McQuade--he just get it from the start. Within minutes we connected over the phone. He has an uncanny sense of what you'll like and dislike and is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about creating next level SC experiences. Over the phone Kevin was so caring, asked the right questions and keenly listened as he got to know OUR family! It was clear that seeing Charleston from an insider's point of view would give us a very different and off-the-beaten path experience, as opposed to the run of the mill Charleston trip. That's exactly what we wanted! Kevin really took his time to gather tons of information, made amazing suggestions for tours, experiences and restaurants in real time and then went off to do his magic. He makes all the calls and books all of your tours, meals etc. This took all the pressure off and all we had to do was pack and show up! Kevin came back to us with the most unbelievable itinerary. I could not get over the level of detail - all the information for anywhere we were going, interesting fact, travel time, what time to leave our hotel, tips and tricks for each destination, dress codes, things to think about ahead of time, must picks for each menu and so much more. He took all the guess work out and this made for such an enjoyable and smooth trip. All of Kevin's suggested and booked was beyond incredible and we ALL loved everything we did. Everything we did became the new highlight! There was some unexpected rain D]during our stay and Kevin immediately got on to things and helped us do a quick pivot to make the necessary adjustments. My two teens remained engaged, excited and involved throughout and really loved Charleston because of the itinerary and how we spent our time there. In fact, they were sad to leave and can't wait to return. The restaurants selected were next level, with each meal better than the next. Kevin made sure all our lunches and dinners were booked and each provided a totally different and unique cuisine and vibe! We could not get over the food, the service and overall culinary experiences we were having - this from a huge foodie! The food itself was a highlight, not one I was necessarily expecting. We did two walking tours - one with Kevin who showed us beautiful Charleston at night - there is nothing like it and was blow your mind incredible - and another with the fabulous storyteller and super cool and fun Ed Macy that we did during the day was just incredible. We were so excited and filled with gratitude throughout every step that we took in Charleston. We just wanted more and more and could not get enough. Another highlight was the Middleton Place Plantation - one we would never have chosen on our own. It was one of the most sublime experiences including a most exquisite dinner which was all glass enclosed and had the most magnificent views of the garden and the plantation. The history, the beauty, the vastness, it was truly surreal. We stayed in an amazing hotel The Dewberry, which was brilliantly located in downtown Charleston, right by King Street, which is filled with amazing shopping, stores, restaurants, bars, coffee, houses, you name it. But Kevin takes the guessing out and tells you which is the best place to go for coffee, ice cream or even where to get the famous coconut layered cake etc. he'll make suggestions that you NOT read anywhere and would only know about from a local. What I loved so much about working with Kevin aside from everything, was that he held our hand from start to finish and communicated with us throughout our trip. He checked in on us, was keen to hear how things were going, and was available for any questions that we had along the way. I have never been on a vacation and had such a personal concierge service at my fingertips. Kevin is such an authentic, warm, personable, funny, open and just all-around really really great guy who is trustworthy and really loves and cares about his job and is so passionate about planning and creating a perfect trip for you and your family. There really is NO other way to visit Charleston. BEST money if the trip you'll spend! It will literally be a game changer. Your trip will not be the same unless you work directly with Kevin - the Charleston guru!
