Find Best 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.

The facilities are relatively new, the sanitary environment is good, the transportation is convenient, and there is free parking. The self-pickup breakfast provided during the epidemic is very rich, and free coffee and lemonade are good.

I had a minor issue with my room, so I called the front desk and they fixed my issue. I was in the delux jacuzzi and they moved me. I was upset because I reserved the room for the jacuzzi tub. They gave me a better room with this same tub included!
