Beach House Resort Hilton Head

Beach House Resort Hilton Head

10/10 Excellent
"We were in an assessable room on the fifth floor. It was clean and well kept. The staff at the pool and The Porch went above and beyond their job expectations. Always ensuring that we had what we needed. The Tiki Hut offered a place for a nightcap and good music close to “home”. Coligny Plaza was well within walking distance and had wonderful shops. We were very impressed with their maintenance of the grounds around us and the security to keep their patrons safe. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Hilton Head Island."

The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Great experience. Beautiful beach, 3 pools, friendly non-pushy staff, plenty of pool seating, clean rooms, great fitness center, free water daily, decent food, quality covered self parking. The only negative we noticed is that the hallways in our area were loud because there was laminate floors due to beach/pool access. Walls are a little thin. But, no issue with sleeping at all."
