This resort is beautiful! The view the location to the beach and to town couldn’t be better! The only downside is the staff. There is a very strange vibe from this resort that the staff is not really wanting to be there and the guests annoy them. Not just from one location but several example the restaurant the coffee shop the beach bar the house keeping. We are incredibly friendly people and not very hard to impress honestly especially on vacation however the staff could not act more annoyed that you’re there if they tried. The woman who works in the coffee shop I’m assuming doesn’t drink coffee whatever you order she will give you something completely different with a very annoyed demeanor while making straight eye contact. All of the onsite restaurants shuts down around mid morning and they don’t serve and close until early afternoon for lunch. Not the worst thing but on vacation it’s nice to have late breakfast options. The front desk double charged me and if I hadn’t asked for a copy of the bill at check out and then when back to the front desk to ask I wouldn’t have known until I got home. The manager was argumentative and not very eager to fix it quickly he said he would do it when he could and call me (which he did and refunded a couple fees. That was nice) unfortunately he wasn’t eager to help until I voiced I was upset. Also housekeeping knocks on the door early in the morning to clean on a multiple night stay in a resort hotel (Monday and Tuesday). Not a weekend.

Construction was still going on at the property although it was supposed to be completed before June. The service in the restaurants was nice, friendly and tasty but a bit overpriced. $9 for a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich for my 6 yo is crazy. We found food and amenities to be cheaper off property, especially beach chairs, bikes and umbrella rentals at other beaches/hotels. My kids loved the turtle talk session where they also fed the turtles. The arts, crafts and games area wasnt much but my daughter did make bracelets. I would come back to Hilton Head but probably not this hotel.

For the price, I would have expected much more. One pool, construction. Extra charge to rent bikes. No tennis/pickle ball courts. It’s a decent 3 star resort, but priced like a 5 star.
