Our room and public areas of facility kept clean.

I loved it. I felt safe, comfortable and it was super clean. Loved having the convenience of a personal safe with my own code. It was very quiet and relaxing. I honestly have never stayed at any hotel that gave me this same feeling. The only thing I did not like was the two chairs at the table. They are too large, bulky and in the way. They should definitely be replaced with a slimmer style that won't kill your knees and toes by always being in the way (no matter where we placed them).

Positives: I loved the open air breeze way corridors and not having to go through the lobby to the beach.

Negatives: No loading or unloading zone at the side entrance. Should be twenty minute parking in one or two spaces.

This was a great deal. Room was very spacious and clean. Property was immaculate. Staff was great. Hotel is older, but still very nice and right on the beach. Booked it for a third of the normal price.

Positives: Right on the beach, clean, and great price.

Negatives: Could use some updating.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 01 Apr 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was breath taking I would love to go back very soon!

Positives: The rooms and the view was beautiful.

Negatives: The hotel fees were a bit much.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 05 Mar 2011 rated 10 out of 10.

The hotel met all our expectations, but it would have been nice to have the parking and wi fi included in the price. The food in the restaurant was terrific, and the grounds around the pool was really special with many cozy seating areas and outside gas fires for atmosphere and warmth.

Positives: The food in the restaurant and the atmosphere in and outside was terrific.

Negatives: Extra costs for parking.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 03 Jul 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Very clean hotel, easy beach access, nice staff and great drinks. Would definitely use Priceline again.

Positives: Location, price, cleanliness, ceiling fans, microwave and refrigerator.

Negatives: Family pool was not large enough to accommodate everyone.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 15 May 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

We were told we'd have an ocean view, but were facing the parking lot and lots of trees instead. If we looked hard, we could barely see the water in the distance.

Positives: Close to beach with several swimming/jacuzzi pools.

Negatives: The room looked tidy, but was filthy. We bought wipes to disinfect the room ourselves.

The Hilton Oceanfront is a beautiful resort. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The outdoor areas were very well maintained and lush with beautiful flowers and trees. We were very happy to see that they even had a small playground for our son to enjoy.

Positives: The hotel was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. We completely enjoyed our stay.

Negatives: The only thing we didn't like about the hotel was the prices at the on-site restaurant. We didn't eat there because it was too expensive.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 27 Apr 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Great room for the price. They gave us a room with a ocean view, first floor. There was a tent set up within 100 ft for a convention that had a live band on Friday night - which was great for us as we could hear the music in our room - maybe not great if you have kids that are sleeping though - music ended at 10 pm. We stayed at three different 4 star resorts on the Island and this room had the most amenities of the three - kitchen area with refrigerator, wet bar, flat screen TV, couch with pull-out bed, mirror/sink both inside and outside of the bathroom, ocean view and you could park right in front of your room if you self-park so you don't have to go far to get items from your car. Plus, this hotel was in a security controlled area which made it more private and there were plenty of paths to run/ride a bicycle.

Positives: Room had refrigerator and wet bar, could see the ocean from our room.

Negatives: Never disclosed the resort/parking fee, had to pay for Internet and got double-charged.

Overall wonderful experience. I hope to return.

Positives: Location and comfort.

Negatives: Did not offer free wireless Internet.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 16 Mar 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

It was cold and rainy during my stay, so I can't comment on the beach quality, but everything else was great. I would bet that this would be a wonderful resort during the peak season.

Positives: Two hot tubs, open air hallways.

Negatives: Shuttle only takes you across the street, $9/day parking.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 03 Jan 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

We enjoyed the proximity to the water. The weather was cool but we did use the hot tub. We had a room across from the fitness center and that we loved.

Positives: The proximity to the water and we enjoyed the fitness center.

Negatives: Having to pay for Internet service.

Great location and service. Try not to visit during December holidays. There were a number of high school basketball teams staying at the resort for a nearby tournament. Unfortunately, they acted exactly like teenagers, noise all night.

Positives: Location and

Negatives: Noise.

Excellent location, very spacious room and a great place to stay with a family.

Positives: The location of the room was excellent and the room was very spacious.

Negatives: Nothing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 12 Feb 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

Off season visit to resort. Half of the hotel was open and not many people present. Rooms were clean and overall stay was pleasant. Did charge $8 per day parking in open lot and wireless not functional in rooms only in central lobby which is poor for an upscale hotel such as a Hilton.

Positives: Beach location and outside landscaping.

Negatives: Did not apply money spent on hotel room to hilton honors act.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 27 Jan 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

This hotel suited our needs very well. It has a refrigerator and microwave. It also has a table for 4 people to sit. It was very quiet and in a great area. We would definitely stay there again. We were a little disappointed that there was no indoor pool but the outdoor pool was supposedly heated, but it seemed a little chilly. There was a boardwalk that you could walk around the facility and a lagoon that was right outside our room. The complex was set up more like a condo, which was very neat. I liked it better than a high-rise hotel. It made us feel right at home.

Positives: The atmosphere was excellent. A great experience.

Negatives: No indoor pool.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 17 Jan 2009 rated 2 out of 10.

The grounds were nice, location GREAT right on beach. It was nice to have the suite with frig and microwave. The stay would have been nice if it was not so noisy! Every time a door would close from another room it would slam!

Positives: The suite, fridge, microwave etc.

Negatives: Noisy! Doors slamming from other rooms, thin walls. Could hear everything from outside rooms.

I would highly recommend this resort to anyone..

Positives: The hotel was beautiful, it was a wonderful experience for us.

Negatives: The waiter at the restaurant was not friendly..

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 02 Sep 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

We enjoyed the service and cleanliness of this hotel for our families vacation. Great pool and grounds plus beach access. Rooms were large and well appointed. Views from every room in the hotel to the ocean were great. Beds were soft and comfortable for a long rest. The only complaint from this well seasoned traveler was the elevator service, there were 3 elevators and only one worked for 5 floors making it a hassle to use.

Positives: Nice room spacious and clean - great pool area.

Negatives: Poor elevator service was a pain.

Negatives: There was a moldy smell in the bathroom.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 30 Aug 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

Hotel is very nice, clean and rooms are spacious. very good location right on the beach. Did not like staff attitude, they seemed snobbish and did not listen to the wishes of the guests. Had bad experience with the cleaning staff, article of jeweler went missing right after room cleaning was done. Hotel has done nothing about it.

Positives: Hotel amenities, very clean, good location.

Negatives: Staff attitude, miscommunication by staff.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 28 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

This hotel is great for families or couples. They have two pools, one being for adults only. The rooms are very spacious and easy to relax in. no noise except the wonderful breeze off the Atlantic Ocean. Breakfast buffet is pricey at $18 and there is an $8/day parking fee not included in the room price. $12/day if you valet. Staff was very nice, friendly and accommodating. It is located in the Palmetto Dunes area of Hilton Head on the Ocean side of the island. Great golf courses all around.

Positives: The rooms are extremely spacious and clean.

Negatives: The elevators on the north building were unbelievably slow and not well ventilated.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 18 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

We had an oceanfront suite - which was first floor - so you could not see the ocean unless standing on the balcony, and it was on the corner, so part of the balcony looked out over the parking lot. Otherwise, the resort is very low-key - relaxing. We had a nice room (tiny bathroom, though) that was very accessible to the adult pool and beach. Staff was friendly and helpful. Although their teen program was not really a program at all, they did offer to drive my son to the skate park (we ended up taking him ourselves).

Positives: Low-key resort with great beach access, family-friendly, helpful staff, well maintained.

Negatives: Ocean-front room may not be what it sounds like; pool bar closes at 5, rent bikes elsewhere.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 10 Aug 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

Overall, a good value for the location. However, housekeeping knocked on the door every morning by 8:15 AM. This is not a motel by the interstate; it is a resort by the beach. Most people are still preparing for the day at 8:00 AM.

Positives: Proximity to the beach.

Negatives: Poor service and housekeeping interrupting incessantly in the morning.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 05 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Overall, the hotel was good. Nice rooms that are kept clean. The staff was good. Very convenient to the beach and other activities on the Island.

Positives: Good location on the Island. Nice beach facilities.

Negatives: Parking was scarce and the secondary lot was not convenient.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 03 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Overall, this was a good stay. The elevators were always dirty and smelled awful every day. The pool and hot tub were showing signs of mold. The hotel had a great location and not that busy. If you looked far down the beach to the left or right, it was far more packed than the Hilton.

Positives: Location was great.

Negatives: Old hotel and is evident.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 31 Jul 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

The is the best location and environment for a family on holiday for peace and quiet for relaxation and to enjoy the family without overcrowding. We have stayed at the Marriot, Westin and we always love to return to the Hilton without a doubt, simply the best!

Positives: Excellent location and amenities, couldn't ask for better on the island.

Negatives: Hotel restaurants was not comparable to other island restaurants.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 28 Jul 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

From a brief visit to survey the property last fall, it seemed a bit worn and too rustic for an upscale resort in Hilton Head. And while I still believe some updating could enhance the exterior, they had already made some upgrades. I was pleasantly surprised upon my return. The property has a terrific laid back, easily accessible atmosphere with nice rooms, a fabulous new fine restaurant (hh prime) and an adult pool which greatly enhanced our stay.

Positives: Adult pool, fine dining restaurant.

Negatives: Property seems a bit "tired" and rustic for a resort.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 28 Jul 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel is well kept and the staff was friendly. The only complaints we had were that they needed to install something on their hotel room doors to quiet down the slamming noises that can be heard all night from guest going in and out of their rooms. Also, the restaurant (esp. the casual cafe located by the pool) prices were extremely high for both food and beverage as compared to the surrounding restaurants.

Positives: The courtyards were outstanding.

Negatives: It was difficult to sleep because the hotel room doors kept slamming shut.
