    So far, we are thrilled. Great room, great view! Very clean and employees were friendly and helpful. So glad we found this place.

    For the rates they charge, this place is NOT worth it. My first night they ran out of the beer I wanted and Buffalo Trace. My bathroom was kind of dirty with visible hairs that weren't mine. The food we had was terrible. They also charged me the draft price for the canned price, meaning I got 4oz less. Not recommended.

    The resort is a great for conferences and family reunions! The staff is professional and accommodating. The resort is clean and inviting.

    The rooms are large beautifully, decorated plenty of coffee and a coffee maker in the room love the shower. It's large. Has a nice pool area. Has a bar with so many items to choose from and a restaurant highly recommend.

    The resort was just ok. I would recommend staying somewhere closer to the beach but it depends on what you are looking for. They do have a shuttle that takes you to another resort location with beach access. The staff was not overly friendly. We did arrive during a holiday weekend so it was in the busy side. There was a worker who was working the front desk early on a Sunday morning that was super friendly and accommodating. The other staff did not go out of their way to be nice or welcoming. You can tell the buildings are on the older side but they have been updated. The view was very nice. When we go back to St. Simons we'll most likely be looking for another place to stay.

    I've been visiting SSI for a few years now but have never actually made my way to this side of the island where this resort is located but I'm glad I found it! I happened to be searching the usual airbnbs, Vrbo, Horner copper rental home options but found that a lot of the homes were a lot more expensive than they used to be so after a quick google search, I stumbled upon the Sea Palms Resort. I was immediately drawn to how cute the rooms were and the reviews that I read on a few sites let me know this might be a good place to stay. I happened to mention this place to a friend of mine who was planning to visit and she ended up booking her room at the Sea Palms. She called when she arrived and I was able to see that the rooms were indeed just as awesome as the website showed and she also told me how she pleased she was at the end of her stay. Needless to say I went ahead and booked the room as the price for super budget friendly and the booking process was pretty quick and painless. When we arrived, the young lady at the reception area was super sweet and provided me with room keys, let me know about the amenities, and told me exactly how to get to our room. We made our way to our room and found that while you enter one door for your room, it's almost like an apartment or suite setup so you'll want to be sure to pay attention to whether you're room A or room B. From entering our room, I feel in love with just how open and spacious and how nicely decorated the room was! The setup was nice and worked well for having a 3 year old so while I'm sure the people below our room hated us, he had the time of his life with all the openness and being able to run back and forth. The room was awesome and spacious, the beds were comfy, the bathroom was huge and I appreciated they gave us enough towels. I was happy to have a little kitchenette area with a sink, mini fridge, and microwave as well as a screened in balcony which was perfect for those nights when the weather was just breezy and not stifling hot! Not to mention simply beautiful views of the marshland. My little one had a blast seeing all the different birds and was just in awe with the scenery as was I. The only issue we had was that after entering our room, we noticed that the room was not cooling off but after I made one call to the front desk and explained the issue, the nicest young man with maintenance, named Tim, came to the rescue. While he was the only one working, he was super personable and did everything he could to fix the situation. We did wish there was a peephole for the room door as when people would knock on doors, you weren't sure which room they were going to or who they were because there was no peephole. The bathroom ventilation was not the best and not sure why, and we also would have liked to have TV channels for the little one (yes, I know you're not spending much time in the room buttttt it would be nice to have Nick Jr or Disney Jr for the tiny guests). Outside of these small things, this was an amazing first experience and I know we'll be back for another stay!

    My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Sea Palms. The room was brand new, clean, and had wonderful views of the marsh. We had one issue getting our door to the patio to latch, but maintenance came and fixed it right away. We played golf on the second day of our weekend trip and the course was in exceptional shape. The pro shop staff were very friendly and helpful. Greens were rolling well, tee boxes and fairways were well maintained. Only issue was the range was closed due to an unexpected microburst. They still provided a warm up net and had a nice short game practice area. I'd love to give this review a full five stars, but following our round we went to the restaurant on site and the staff would not wait on us. We waited several minutes to be seated in a down time, and then when we were seated no staff came to greet us or to take our orders. We decided to go somewhere else for lunch. That was the only disappointment we had of the weekend. The rest of the staff at Sea Palms was wonderful and we would definitely consider staying here again.

    The bathtub inside the walk in shower

    We booked the King Suite all based on the bathroom. The room has a tub in the walk in shower. The shower is massive. The room itself was beautiful and very clean. Also you have complimentary access to the "Beach Club" where you can enjoy the beach and their pool as well. It's a 15 minute drive from Sea Palms. You aren't within walking distance to bars/restaurants but it's a 5 minute drive to tons of places. I don't recommend the on site restaurant for eating. It's a nice area to have cocktails but the food is average at best.

    On a lark, we decided to spend 3 days of a New Year's eve weekend on Saint Simon's. This Sea Palms is recently renovated with awesome marsh views over to Cloisters and cottages. Quiet and off the beaten path. Good AAA rate. We loved it as our base to bike Saint Simon, sea Island, and Jekyll. Nicely renovated and you have access to their partner oceanfront resort. We took full advantage of that porch for our take out meals and morning coffee. This was our first visit to this part of Georgia. Truly enchanted with the golden isles. Thought this hotel was a great value with lovely view for us.

    See all

    Love this restaurant because I LOOOOVE Jimmy Buffet! I love all the decor around the restaurant…read morewith phrases from his music. The location is perfect as well, right on the beach with amazing views. Lily was our server and she was great. I came with friends and their kids and our kids were being a little rowdy but Lily and the rest of the staff were patient with them and even entertained them. Amazing service! The food was decent, not the best but good bar type food. I got the Caribbean salad with grilled shrimp because I got it with the chicken last time and didn't like that it was cold. The dressing was a little too sweet and amount too much on the salad so will get dressing on the side next time.

    Margaritaville is an adorable hotel right on the water in Jacksonville Beach. It is very on theme…read morewith its own margarita glass chandelier and large flip-flop sculptures in the lobby. The hotel was clean and the people who work there were very nice. The only thing I found a little unusual was they did not have anyone to help carry your luggage. They had carts available but you had to load the cart and take the luggage to your room for yourself. I am aware that not all hotels offer this service but I have stayed at the Margaritaville in Hollywood where they do assist with this. Other than that, it was a great time staying there. The room was very pretty and the restaurants in the hotel were nice as well.

    They changed website where you found info on your property, So I couldn't go back & re-read…read moreanything rules ect. Prior to trip. We were not on the gate list so had to go to office then back to gate. Owner needs to communicate Cart office CLOSES at 5:00. So no cart til next day. Check in 4:30. Others in group 2:00. air conditioning did not work. Freezer & frig would not seal so our items were not froze or cold. Maintenance brought portable. Figured out if we would hold the freezer refrigerator door shut at the same time they would stay shut & work. Doors open towards the wall so you could not tell they were opened. Just a tiny bit enough to not cool anything. Could not find sheets for the pullout couch. OWNER should have communicated where things were, cart shop closes at 5, no beach towels, extra TP There was none. Guest SERVICES told us you're on your own for that and if you need more toilet paper than the one Roll provided. You need to go buy. No Kleenexes. Then he had to come back again in the morning with his thermometer to make sure it was cooling and freezing as long as we physically shut the doors. It worked. I told him you need to put a big note on this or the next people are gonna have the exact same problem. We told GUEST SERVICES about all the problems and they made notes of everything to tell the owner. The refrigerator was tipped forward also instead of backwards. Not that that matter cause you still had to do it yourself. We had to tell guest SERVICES to tell the maintenance guy so she could make out another work order so he could actually look at it. I said well he's here right now. Can't he just look at it? Well, then she sent him a work order via his phone. Before he left, I said well he might as well Put in a work order for the front door too, you could see the sunlight right out the door it latched, and you could lock it, but it was very loose opening closing when it was locked so that needed to be fixed as well. I think it's ridiculous that there's a $200 cleaning fee and we have to bag our own garbage and take it out to the dumpster -really? There was a $40 " peace of mind" charge ‍ When we picked up the golf cart the next morning, we turned around and drove back and told them there's something wrong with this cart, It's way too loud. He said that's because it's a gas golf cart and they're all that loud. My friend said I have a Gas golf cart and it does not sound like this at all. He would not give us a different one so he left. A day and a half later we were driving to the beach to meet the rest of our friends from the wedding the night before and there is a huge noise and I thought we ran over something, the golf cart belt broke and was laying in the road. We called the business. They said they try and have somebody come out I said no you're sending somebody out right now, we have somewhere to be. So about 15 minutes later here he comes. He's backing it off the trailer and get stuck so we had to pull back on and then he went really fast backwards and the back end of it hit the dirt and dragged. I said if you broke that thing, we are not paying for it. My friend said we tried to tell you about this when we picked it up, but there was something wrong with it. He was very nice but we had to get going.. The wedding and reception was fabulous on the island. The weather was perfect, but we definitely felt. There is a huge lack of communication on the owners part. They need to put more information on their site pertaining to their rental property so there's no surprises. The groom told us about the last Walmart before you get to the island to stop and buy stuff to take with you because everything so expensive on the island. I had one piña colada at one of the swimming pools and it was $18. It was delicious now my friend ordered the rum punch and she could not drink it. It tasted so bad. I took a sip as well and it was awful so she ordered something else. Oh & when we got back from being outside, the rental was so hot inside. Well the hose from the portable air conditioner come off the air conditioner so all the vents warm air was just coming back into the room instead of going out the window so we had to call maintenance again. 709 Ocean Cottage

    Terrible management. Within 3 hours of being in my room, saw 2 cockroaches. Emailed and texted…read more After seeing the 2nd one i left immediately, emailed and texted again and requested refund. Heard back from someone the next day 24 hours later, saying the would give me another room. After I was already back home 5 hours away. Claimed seeing roaches is "normal around here"... not normal to see them in guest rooms... ever. Said they would refund me one night out of my 5 booked. Requested the higher ups information, never responded.
