Top South Forest Beach Hotel Reviews

Beach House Resort Hilton Head

10/10 Excellent

"Great."

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Oak Resort Hilton Head

8/10 Good

"We were very impressed by our 2 bedroom suite - definitely nicer than the Marriott’s Grande Ocean we stayed at last year, just down the street. Only 2 complaints were that rooms aren’t cleaned on Saturdays. Not a big deal but we just had a ton of trash piled up. And then when they did come, they didn’t make the beds. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a hotel where they came and cleaned but didn’t make the beds. 😅 Small complaints - we really enjoyed our stay and the pool and hot tub was very nice."

Doubletree by Hilton Hilton Head Island

10/10 Excellent

"Good morning! My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay at your facility, upon arriving at the Hotel's front desk we were greeted very kindly. Once assigned to our room the area was well kept, the bathroom was extremely clean. Both heater and AC were functional, along with the flat screen television. We were visiting to attend annual Fish & Grit Festival; the Hotel was centrally located just three blocks from the Low Country Park. Once again, our stay was very pleasant."
