“Great Beach and Staff!”

This is one of the properties that we visited during the Christmas Holidays, and I must say that I was presently surprised! We were a bit apprehensive because of all the Marriott resorts we have visited in Hilton Head, this appeared to be one of the most “dated” ones. However, the grounds and that awesome beach makes up for it! We enjoyed an oceanfront view and the beach was literally steps outside the building! of all of the Marriott properties in which we visited, this one is the most easily accessible one, especially if travelling with elderly patients. Every staff member that we met were just genuinely kind and helpful which created a very pleasant experience for us. We will certainly be visiting again!

“Florida keys with southern charm”

This is by far the best resort that we’ve stayed at thus far. Anywhere we stay moving forward has some huge shoes to fill! The front staff was nice. She did a good job explaining everything. We were aware of what needed reservation, what had a fee, the layout. She even gave a good recommendation … more

This is by far the best resort that we’ve stayed at thus far. Anywhere we stay moving forward has some huge shoes to fill! The front staff was nice. She did a good job explaining everything. We were aware of what needed reservation, what had a fee, the layout. She even gave a good recommendation for a date night. The concierge was not helpful. I asked about the distillery cause we already planned on going. He told us he couldn’t help book more was he aware of any discounts. However when I settled in, it was listed as one of the places that accepts the MVC discounts. (Marriot vacation club) Our suite was equipped with all the necessities. It had body wash, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, dishwashing pods, washing powder, a laundry baskets, pool towels, pots, pans, bakeware, utensils, complete dinnerware, coffee maker, kettle, extra trash bags, etc. Our kitchen towels were folded into cute crabs, so cute! I love that the living room and dining area actually had seating for 6. We had an ocean from view that gave the most amazing sunset/ sunrise views! Nice are to sit in the balcony and enjoy the breeze. There is ice machines that distribute full bags so there’s no need for o keep filling the ice bin, which is also provided in the room. There were shopping cart for those who may have a lot of grocery bags. So u don’t have to worry about it falling on the luggage carriers like we initially had. The real MVPs are the activity teams and Mark and Debra!! Mark and Debra has an impeccable teaching style for the tennis clinics. Their patience and motivation. My oldest daughter and I really enjoyed it. The activity team did a flawless job with timing and keeping the scheduled activities fun. Our favorite activities were soap making, sundae bar, bingo, family feud, stargazing, and s’mores to go! We were fortunate enough to see a shooting star during stargazing! There were a lot of ppl aware of all the scientific things. I just enjoyed seeing Saturn, the galaxy and a variety of clusters. It was really good. If you even been to Florida keys and enjoys the relax island vibes, HHI is like that but with a better ocean front and better clubhouses and a lot of southern charm! The sand is so fine and soft! I don’t know what the material is between the sand and water but I loved it. It was firm enough to ride bikes and take a walk with the mess of “sand”. You can also get really far in the water without the sand shifting under your feet. It is truly one of kind. The were plenty of well landscapes areas to relax like the swings and hammocks. I appreciate the indoor pool not being overly chloride. Some pools would chock out your soul. Everyone, from the resort to the local to those who are visiting are helpful and friendly. I did not ask this but we assumed that the island or at least the resort is very environmentally aware of conservation. The trees are persevered well and make for some amazing pictures. The bags at the most stores are not one time use. There are bike trails through the island The only complaint is the MVC discount was not honored at all the places listed.
