“Great R & R”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We spend 3 days at this beach resort and felt like we had been on a luxury cruise for seven days. The location is on the northern side of the island, away from the hotel/shoppes circus of the rest of Hilton Head. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and the rooms small but beautiful. The long, white, impeccable beach stretches north and south for miles, wonderful for walking and running. The pool area is spacious, with many choices for sitting, reading, and taking in a quick meal. Wonderful work-out gym, and lap pool. We ate off resort for dinner, and had their large breakfast buffet each morning. Mainly we sat in beach chairs under umbrellas, read, slept, ate, and walked....it would be fine place to meet up as an extended family, and wonderful for kids --even pets!

Room Tip: Worth it to book an ocean front room. Watch for deals.

We've been vacationing here at
The Westin for several years! Absolutely love it! The pools are beautiful w great little tiki bar and music and lunches by the pool. Just a few steps to the ocean from the pool. Rooms are always nice. View is great! Heavenly beds made us come home and fluff up our own bed w feather pillows, comforter and mattress topper! Spoils u!

“Beautiful resort”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Just recently visited for a conference. It was a beautiful resort. The views were awesome.
The grounds and pools were impecable. It definitely felt like a resort. The staff was friendly. The restaurant and bar prices were high. I agree with other posters that the carpets need to desparately be replaced, but otherwise I found the hotel to be clean and in great shape.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your recent visit to The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa while attending a conference. It is uplifting to read that you felt the resort was beautiful with awesome beachfront views,and that the grounds and pools were impeccable. We are sorry you found the restaurant and bar prices high, but I can assure you they are very comparable to our local competitor properties as well as other east coast resorts. In the first quarter of 2012, new guest room corridor carpets will be installed which will be a great enhancement to the facility. In addition, we just completed a renovation of the Westin Workout Studio with all new equipment and finishes, and numerous other projects are underway. Our ownership is planning a multi-million dollar renovation with the proceses beginning immediately,and we expect our resort to be in top notch condition in the very near future. We look forward to welcoming you back soon to experience the positive changes.

“Just Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

First, I'm not fond of isolated resorts of which the Westin Hilton Head is one. Nowhere to walk. At least 15 min. drive to anywhere.
That being said, the resort is in a nice location on a (currently) wide, sandy beach (beach reconstruction was going on during our stay closing the beach to the north). Beautiful grounds, three pools and lots of chairs and all the facilities expected.
Staff was polite but nothing more.
Lobby is average good but hallways are long and in big time need of new carpets and wallpaper. Rooms again are average. In particular, bathrooms are motel level.
Internet access is free but very spotty. Even in the business center I was not able to print out boarding passes.
Parking is free and plentiful.
Breakfast buffet on weekends is modest in price and selection.
We had dinner in Carolina Cafe which was good and reasonable in price for a resort. Restaurant staff were much friendlier than reception, etc.
We did get a very good rate and therefore we did have excellent value.

Room Tip: You either get good view or short walk.

Thank you for sharing your comments on Trip Advisor concerning your recent visit to The Westin. Thank you for noting the resort is in a nice location on a wide, sandy beach. The beach renourishment project has provided us with a transformed and enhanced beach environment for all those who visit the beach. We appreciate your comment on the staff being polite, but are sorry you did not experience our usual personal and instinctive service which is always our goal. The positive news is that our owner is planning a multi-million dollar renovation with the initial processes beginning immediately including full guest room renovation. We expect our resort to be in top notch condition in the near future. We have just completed renovation of our Westin Workout Studio, and will be installing new corridor carpet in the first quarter of 2012. We hope you will return soon to experience all the positive transformations.

“Classic southeast beach resort in need of a little attention”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

The service at the Westin, Hilton Head is top notch! Almost everyone greets you by name. Use the valet service, those guys know you by the end of the first day! Room service was delivered at exactly the right time. It's nice to stay in a place where the people obviously know how hotel staff is supposed to act.
The location on the beach is perfect. The pool and amenities around the pool are great. The views of the beach from the rooms are beautiful.
Only one problem that was noticed: the carpets need to be replaced. Hallways and in the rooms, the carpets have met their demise. Otherwise, the place looks great. The location is perfect.
