The resort is beautiful. Rooms were newly renovated. Beds were comfy, I would upgrade sheets. They had holes in them . Stuff was very friendly. Construction still going but we didn't really feel anything. Walking distance from the beach. Overall it was nice stay and had a great time in Hilton Head Island.

It was nice and probably would stay again but we were charged for things we were told we wouldn’t be charged for and other fees were charged that weren’t disclosed before booking. Also other things we were promised because of construction and didn’t get those things which I didn’t care about but being told we’d get it and not getting it was annoying. Not a splurge place to go if you need to stay on a strict budget because of the added unexpected charges.

Construction impacts experience

Hotel under construction so many amenities weren’t available - fitness room; restaurant was limited; and constant construction noise. Best part was the maid service. Otherwise other staff seemed disconnected from their roles. Maybe the construction is getting to them too.

The resort was under construction which was listed nowhere in the listing. The amenities were not all available and had we known as would have booked elsewhere. We passed up another comparable property based on false advertisement.
