Simply Amazing
I can't say enough good things about this Hotel.
My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary, and it is a trip that I will remember for a long time, and a lot of those memories will be possible because of this establishment.
The hotel is absolutley beautiful. The facilities are gorgeous: whether you're looking at the fountains, the pools, or the general decor; it is all great. We had a "resort view" room, which is less expensive than the "ocean view," so we were expecting not to be able to enjoy the view from our window. Much to our suprise, we were able to see the ocean very well, and we had a great view of the rest of the grounds of the hotel.
The amenities are first class. We used both restaurant and room service while we were staying there, and they were both wonderful.
The staff was knowledgable, courteous, attentive, and did not give us a single reason to complain.
To fully understand how wonderful this hotel is, I have to explain what happened while we were there. We had a minor problem with our room; it was of a nature that can't easily be controlled, so it was no real problem for us. We informed the staff at the front desk of the problem, and I have never seen anyone go so far in trying to fix a problem. The head of housekeeping called us personally and they took so many steps both to resolve the issue and take care of any inconvenience to us (which there wasn't any). He even came later in the evening to meet us personally to apologize.
That level of customer service and care is rare today, and it is a true credit to the Westin company.
The only possible negative about the hotel is that it is located about 5 miles from the main shopping and eating areas of the island. There are biking paths that run nearly everywhere, so the appeal to bikers is great. The only reason this could be a negative is that you would have to bike for a pretty good distance to shop or eat. So, you just have to drive instead.
This place is just wonderful, and I would suggest that anyone thinking of a nice place to stay on Hilton Head should consider looking here.
