But on the night of my sons wedding, aftervthe wedding we went to the beach bar, it had an hour and a half before it closed. I told the bar tender I'd have an open tab for my son - not the one getting married - and his friends, 6 guys. All was good till the bar tenders allowed everyone to order drinks on my tab, we were told by a stranger they were told no worries drinks on me - they used my last name. When checking out I saw my $2,000 bar bill, protested and was told sorry we'll fix it. Nothing happened, so I called explained my issue .Asked for a manger, was told one would call me back - nothing. I feel ripped off! I think this is unacceptable and want all to know... shame maybe a good brand will buy them, till then never staying here again.

In regards to the Villas: dirty, stained, moldy, outdated. We were 0 for 2 in our villa attempts:…read morefirst one had stained, dirty carpets and smelled of mildew, with a view of the parking lot. Plus it was not ready at check in. Moved to a different villa. Appeared clean with a nice golf course view; however, our eyes burned all night from an allergen of some sort--possibly from the one inch layer of dust under the furniture or dusty old bedding. Beds felt of metal springs in your back and flat pillows. Bottom line, the villas are all very old (and gross). Attempted to have a lovely breakfast after a terrible night of sleep, and the Jasmine Porch closed 45 min. early and was unable to seat us. For us, Kiawah is out. Stayed at the Sanctuary previously and it was not a memorable experience. After walking 18 holes at the Ocean Course, the pub was closed for a wedding. This place is hit and miss. There are a ton of other oceanfront golf resorts that are far better than this one. If you want a reliably amazing experience, don't waste your time or money. Sea Island or Sea Pines or even a trek to Pebble Beach would surpass expectations. So very much disappointed in our Kiawah experience.

We accidentally left clothes behind. I called the resort as soon as we got home. They took my name and number and promised to call. I never received the call back. I called and emailed several more times- same promise, no follow up. Either the housekeeping staff or the guests that followed our stay kept our clothes or they are still hanging in the closet! We will never know!!! The no response was disappointing from such a nice resort.

I was literally SO excited to spend the day at the Sweetgrass Spa here at the resort and it was…read moreso...UN-impressionable. I literally love resort spas. It's a hobby of mine I digress I love to splurge. And I've been to ones in numerous different states within the US and over 20 yrs. This one was so overpriced and underdelivered. The staff was nice I will say that! But the spa didn't have hot tubs, no free saunas (only 15 minute paid sessions), no steam rooms, and no cold plunges. So apart from paid treatments it left nothing to do to relax for the day which is literally the whole point. They had no snacks! And offered hot tea but me and THREE other women over a period of an hour asked for hot water to be replaced as it was empty and no one refilled it. I arrived at 2pm and didn't get my first hot tea until 6pm. The outdoor jacuzzi was a shared space for men and women, didn't have jets you could push on, and was swarming w floating fly ants. Yuck. The sauna I did end up paying for wasn't even private! Meaning it was all three sides window glass and in a high traffic hallway area so any women who walked by stared at you. The nail tech did a great pedicure but you have to walk outside way down to other end of resort that is not adjacent or even close to the spa itself. Champagne was supposed to be included in treatment and says so even on website and yet I was never offered and when asked she had to go "check w her manager". I've never had a more UNCOMFORTABLE SPA EXPERIENCE in my 20 yrs of actively going to various spas... And don't get me started on the paid treatments! I paid for a mud wrap full body cbd treatment. First, be prepared to have them try to upsell you in every way like a used car salesman. Second, be prepared to smell bad breath, and hear them squeak around the room on their sneakers and roll around the room on their loud stool while your eye mask is on instead of politely leaving the room while you soak up the treatment! And why wasn't there pleasant spa chill relaxation music playing at least?? Ugh. I hate to say this but I regret tipping 20%. I left lore stressed than when I came in... And last but not least I called ahead to verify they closed at 8pm. I verbally asked again upon checking in...and yet by 6:45pm the place emptied out and I had a staffer remind me it closes in an hour and at 7:25 I had the manager let me know again. So F it, I got dressed and left at 7:35. I was so over it.

I was honestly shocked to see the reviews so low because I had a great experience here. I stayed at…read morethe Sweetgrass Inn while attending a work conference and thought it was a wonderful spot. The resort itself is a nice size not too big that you feel lost, but not too small either. I stayed in the main hotel, and the staff was very pleasant. My room was clean, updated, and had a great view overlooking the pool. I did stop by Building B, and I'll admit this one didn't look quite as nice as the main building something to keep in mind when booking. There are some cute shops and good eateries right on the resort, plus nice pickleball courts (they even offer lessons highly recommend those!). The only real downside is the cost. It's definitely on the pricier side expect to pay around $60-$70 for a simple meal for two at the on-site restaurants and the rooms are pretty pricy. Overall though, I'd absolutely stay here again if I wanted t spend this kind of $$. A great experience, beautiful setting, and friendly staff.

I read a lot of reviews and came across this hotel because of its location and other folks reviews. I would absolutely book this hotel again and I will be coming back to Charleston.

Thanks to Bob the bartender that made one of the best espresso martinis we've ever had and lastly, thanks to the manager Carlo for coming over and introducing himself.

I'm wishing her much success inside this organization! Give her a raise or a bonus. All in all... we'll be back! Great weather! The food was just OK. The fish house was too expensive. Thx Again!

THE HOTEL: DON'T BE INTIMIDATED, This hotel is very nice & welcoming! The Staff were nice, they did volunteer to tell us that we're entitled to 2 free non alcoholic drinks from the marina store with the little wooden "coin" they give you on check in, BUT NOT that we were ALSO ENTITLED TO A FREE ICE CREAM per person, per day at the marina store, just show your room key! THE ROOM: I thought the room was nice, clean & very well situated with an incredible view of the ocean! The shower door is strange (only extended 1/2 way to middle of the tub), but I'll just have to angle the shower head down more, I'm short! The bed & sheets were clean & fresh so I fell right to sleep! The vent in the room could use a cleaning. The price off season ( January) is very reasonable during the week, the weekend can run you a little higher, like $170 or more depending I guess what you do. I guess for some people that is still reasonable. I guess I'm cheap, THEY NEED TO UPDATE THE BRUNCH SIGN! It's not Fri, Sat & Sun. It's just Sat & Sun. All in all...would stay here again!

You're only as strong as your weakest link…read more I've stayed in many hotels for both work and personal travel. The nice amenities, decent gym and friendly staff are what creates the environment for a pleasant experience. Two of these were met and the friendly staff, was mostly there. . .but one sour apple truly changed the course of our stay. Even my wife, who worked once upon a time in hospitality at Kiawah Resort, was started by the interactions from The Loutrel Hotel staff member. Long story short. The daily complimentary breakfast was served. I accidentally went to place the granola lid on the yogurt, my wife told me that was the wrong lid and I went to correct. From across the room the breakfast attendant yelled, "sir that doesn't go there." Startled, I immediately removed it and placed it accordingly. I laughed it off. Moments later I went to sit my breakfast down where my drink was located. Same attendant, "you're not even sitting at the right table with your wife." Again, my error, but don't call me out twice in one morning. It's a small lobby, so many staff members overheard the interaction. Nothing was done by other management. The next morning, I walked down to look at breakfast. I saw the same attendant and said, good morning. She looked at me but wasn't pleasant in her response. Unlike the rest of her colleagues at the restaurant who are polite and kind, the same customer service I expect and provide to my customers. Breakfast offered salmon with some type of eggs or shellfish. I can't eat shellfish, allergic. So, I went to grab a biscuit at a local coffee shop and a coffee. We came back to the hotel and sat our food down. The same rude attendant came over, nudged my wife in her back and said, "you can't have this here, cross contamination." So, I left. Allowed my wife to eat her yogurt in the area. Funny enough, my wife asked where the utensils were, because every table had them. Same attendant rudely, pointed to another table for her to get them. I should have just sat down and ate my food as I didn't see any signs for "no outside food." Either way, stay somewhere else. It's unfortunate that a hotel like this allows such rudeness from a staff member. I did report this to the manager, and online but was met with more passivity. Comped two nights of valet. Honestly, it wasn't enough. I would never stay here again and it ended the trip on such a sour note.

Everything was spotless, and the property was impeccably maintained. The service was absolutely above and beyond--attentive, warm, and professional at every level. While the property is on the pricey side, it is well worth it for the experience. The complimentary breakfast at Circa 1886 was delicious and a fantastic added perk. Highly recommend taking advantage of it. One helpful note: if you book through Hilton Honors, you can take advantage of Hilton Honors benefits and offerings. If you book directly through the hotel, those benefits do not apply. Overall, an exceptional stay and a place we would gladly return to.
