Beautiful property. Our double queen suite had a gorgeous view of the marsh and the room was very nice. Check-in was a little off, but I completely understood-they were transitioning to new Hilton systems, having been recently affiliated and they were apologetic. I totally understood that. I did notice on check-in that the tub and toilet did not appear to have been recently cleaned. I went to the front desk and let them know - the Housekeeping Director was there and told me he and staff would get over immediately to take care of that, which they did. He gave me his card and told me not to hesitate to call if we had any further problems. My daughter-in-law and 18 month-old grandson were with me on the trip. Within 20 minutes of my grandson walking barefoot in the room, his feet were literally black. I later ran into the Housekeeping Director on the property and told him about the dirty floors and asked if they could please come and clean the floors, since my grandson was playing on these floors. He told me the floors were recently installed, and they were trying to "work through it." We were there from Wed-Sat and after being promised the floors would be cleaned two times, they never were. We had an additional room for Thurs-Fri and floors were equally dirty. Upon checkout, I was told that glue was coming up on the floors, it was not dirt. After showing the picture of my grandson's feet, they comped a room night. We would stay again if they can get the floors clean!!!
Beautiful view of marsh and wildlife

Average hotel, ideal for golfers

One night getaway. Chose this hotel based price and proximity/location to St. Simons. Overall happy with the hotel and our brief stay. Nothing too special unless you're an avid golfer. Very loud if you're on the bottom floors. You can hear every footstep and every door that gets slammed or shut.

Was informed upon check-in that the pool/tiki bar was closed for a private event. Although we were offered passes to another resort's pool, that resort was 15+ minutes away and not convenient or feasible for us due to having early dinner reservations. Had I known that the pool/tiki bar would be closed, I would have booked at another resort. In addition, I paid for a "sea/bay view" room which we were not given. Instead, we had a view of the golf course/lagoon. The resort was nice overall, but the above factors would prevent me from staying here again.

I truly loved the Sea Palms Resort. It was quiet. It was safe. It was convenient. The scenery from The Pelican rooms was magnificent! Although we went to Gould's Inlet for sunrises, we could see them without leaving the bed (the last day there). I wish the pool stayed open later than 8PM. However, this was far enough from the touristy hustle & bustle near the pier, but close enough to drive to the pier for more dining and shopping options.

Would recommend!

Overall our stay was great and we would definitely stay again! When we got to our room the HVAC unit was not working. Maintenance was called and quickly came to reset it. We left to go eat and returned and it was not fixed, but they had already started the process of moving us to a different room. Our daughter loved the pool!

A very well laid out development. The resort does need updating/upgrading its ADA compliance. We found the ramps to be TOO STEEP for Walker / wheel chair use. The shower stalls can do with Grab Bars. The staff was wonderful !

Excellent spot to stay on the island. Worth the money. Located away from downtown, with two different routes available to take to the beach. Staff if great here. I’d book this location anytime I’m on Saint Simon's.
