The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa
The staff had such positive energy and they were so helpful. The only thing that I would mention to other travelers is that there is a lot of walking, there are very long, narrow halls between rooms, so if you have issues walking, I would request a room on the first floor closest to the exits.
