The Dunlin, Auberge Collection

The Dunlin Kiawah River is a beautiful facility. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. The views of the river are wonderful and we enjoyed watching the birds on the river. The room was very nice and roomy and the turndown service in the evenings was a nice touch. The pools are nice, however due to the weather we were not able to use them during this stay. A couple notes for improvement: Linnette's dinner was average-the succotash served with the fish was cold and the peach cobbler is more of a peach crisp. Additionally charging $22 for two croissants and coffees when you're paying $ 875 per night seems a bit much. For the same price you can stay at the Sanctury on Kiawah Island which is a much nicer facility.

We cannot say enough about how much we absolutely loved spending a week here at the Dublin. From Grace at check-in to Zach- the best waiter we’ve ever had anywhere- we were so impressed and in love with the property. Housekeeping has done a fantastic job, the food was world-class, and the gym & pools were perfect. Very rarely do we want to return to a resort where we’ve already stayed, but this will be one of the exceptions. We honestly don’t want to leave! Thank you to the staff here for making my husband’s birthday so memorable. PS- drive the Maybach.

The Dunlin was an amazing stay (3 nights was perfect). Things that stood out were 1) how friendly and helpful the staff were 2) the decor and overall feel of the place 3) the pool and amenities 4) the spa - great services at reasonable prices 5) the restaurants - food was incredible and many ingredients were from nearby farms, they were very accommodating to our 16-month old too. Overall, it was a great place to spend a few days relaxing away from our busy lives with our little family.

I just returned to California today after a wonderful vacation in South Carolina and I wanted to jump on and give a review of The Dunlin, Auberge Collection while it was still fresh in my mind. I wanted to share my appreciation for the way the team at Dunlin made our stay, during the Rouse/Barnes wedding weekend, the best ever! The team handled a small situation we had at checkin with such care and professionalism. The manager completely understood our frustration and kindly offered to make amends for our stressful moment. We were very appreciative of all the kind things they did for our group, all the attentiveness and tokens were such a nice touch. I also want to especially recognize one of the Managers, Emily, who was incredibly kind and generous. She truly wanted to make sure our experience turned around after the stress of our room delay. She arranged for me and my three friends to take a tour of the Goatery, which we were so happy to be part of. Emily, along with another wonderful female manager (I unfortunately cannot remember her name, but she had brown hair and was so kind) really helped transform what started as a frustrating experience into a wonderful weekend. Nathan, at the Valet station, also went above and beyond to make our experience even better than we had hoped. Overall, the staff at the Dunlin were top-notch. The team rectified the situation exceptionally well, and we ended up having a lovely and memorable time. I will absolutely be telling my friends and family about the Dunlin and the outstanding hospitality we experienced. I highly recommend this beautiful resort!!

Absolutely wonderful experience and one of the top massages I have had. I highly recommend this darling place.

Cool property for 2-3 nights. Limited eating options. Food exceptional! Property run a little roughly.

It took me a minute to fully appreciate how amazing this place is…but once you know its magic…. The attention to detail in the rooms, the design, the workout facilities, the general ambiance, the service, the food, everything. The only downside is I now want to redecorate my whole house to match The Dunlin.

We recently stayed at The Dunlin, Auberge Resort for our babymoon and left feeling truly relaxed and grateful for the experience. The property itself is absolutely beautiful, serene, thoughtfully designed, and perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful coastal escape rather than a busy resort atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail stood out. We were pleasantly surprised to find a complimentary bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling wine, a handwritten note, and an adorable goat stuffed animal waiting in our room to celebrate our babymoon. It was such a thoughtful touch and immediately made us feel cared for; nothing felt overlooked. Our suite was stunning, with intentional design touches that made the space feel both luxurious and comfortable. We especially loved the in-room tub and fireplace. The only small suggestion would be adding a second lounge chair near the fireplace so two people can enjoy the space comfortably. We improvised with a chair from the breakfast nook, which worked fine, so it certainly didn’t detract from our stay. We also spent time at the on-site Astor Spa, which was a wonderful experience. The facility was clean, calm, and beautifully designed, with a peaceful garden area and quiet sitting room that made it easy to fully unwind. We both received massages and left feeling refreshed; it was a perfect addition to a relaxing babymoon stay. The grounds are well planned with plenty to do without ever feeling crowded. We enjoyed the fire pits, the heated pool and hot tub (great for year-round use), and the access to water activities through Coastal Expeditions. One feature we especially appreciated was the ability to text the concierge directly from our room, which made it incredibly easy to request anything we needed without interrupting the relaxed pace of the stay. The complimentary Mercedes-Benz car service was also a huge plus too. It made quick trips into nearby shopping areas effortless when we needed anything. Dining was a highlight. Linnette’s was excellent, with warm service and beautifully executed dishes. The goat ice cream is absolutely worth trying. While some reviews mention limited menus, we personally found the offerings thoughtful and satisfying. I also want to note that several concerns mentioned in older reviews appear to have been addressed. We found ample drinking water available and had no issues with mirrors or basic room amenities. If anything, a few additional towel hooks or bath bars would be helpful, but again, this was minor. At times you can hear guests on the outdoor stairs or children playing, but never at disruptive hours, and it felt consistent with a family-friendly luxury property rather than a negative. Overall, the staff throughout the resort were welcoming and accommodating, and the atmosphere felt calm, polished, and intentional. We would absolutely consider returning; next time with our older kids and our dog, especially knowing there’s a dog park and easy access

We loved our stay at the Dunlin. Truly a special place! Cant wait to go back
