Find Hotels in Saint Simons Island

This hotel is a bit hard to review. No recent reviews for us to rely on, since Covid started and slowed things down. But looked decent enough from what I could find. Had all the things we were looking for, in a kid free couples getaway. Or so I thought. Having an on-site pool, restaurant and bar were important to us, wanting to keep social distancing in mind. Only after checking in were we told the restaurant and bar was closed. The restaurant was still serving food, but a limited menu and on the patio only. Also limited hours so no breakfast options. The first day we arrived it was pouring so sitting on the patio was not an option. So first night there, and we already had to venture off the property. We were also told at check in that maid service was cancelled but we could call the front desk when we needed anything and it would be delivered. The staff was always very polite and helpful. And this is a total ‘first world’ complaint, but a huge plus of a kid free getaway is not having to make my own bed or worry about my wet towel drying. But ok we would make it work. New world post Covid, we can deal. The renovated rooms are great. Clean and modern and the fruit platter waiting in our room was appreciated. Clean but not without its bug issues. We never killed less than 10 flying ants each night we stayed. Luckily bugs don’t freak either of us out. The white noise machine built into the headboard is genius. The gym was fantastic. I’m a heavy lifter and was able to make what they had work. The pool area was nice and kept clean. The ‘no cooler’ rule was annoying but we found a way around it. They definitely need more umbrellas. Kind of annoying that on the day we chose to pay the ridiculously high amount for a cabana rental, other people who clearly didn’t pay were taking advantage of the empty cabanas. Overall the stay was just ok.

This was my 1st time visiting St. Simon so I had not seen the hotel before. I was worried with the noise when we pulled in right as a plane was preparing to leave. I was very happy as soon as I went into the hotel and the noise disappeared. We didn't hear a thing while inside. The room was large and clean. The bed was very comfortable with soft sheets. I slept very well. The cons: the bathroom door is a sliding barn style that doesn't latch so it slid open as you were taking care of business. The light fixtures was not properly attached to the ceiling and the cabinet doors were not aligned level when they were assembled. They just need to do a quality check through the rooms to fix the little things. The pro: the gentlemen running the breakfast were on point! And the night clerk was very helpful with suggestions for dinner. The staff can make or break a hotel. These 3 staff members are definitely assets.

This property was clean and comfortable until we went to bed and realized that the bathroom toilet ran about every 10 - 15 minutes. Husband shook the handle and even fiddled inside the tank, nothing stopped it from running. Shut the bathroom door and ran the air conditioning unit to block out the noise. Not a good nights rest. In the morning around 8:30 am the maid starting knocking on our door every ten minutes to see if she could clean our room. After the third time we finally told her to please give us 20 more minutes and it would be all hers. Proceeded to the front desk to check out and let the staff know about our running toilet. The young girl barely looked at us, all she said was ok, really did not care. Overall, I feel the staff at this hotel was rude and is not very customer service orientated. There are other choices on the island we would try on our next visit.
