The staff and service and FOOD at the Cloisters is first rate. The rooms (stayed in south wing) are great, and the golf and amenities are nice, but two things make this one of the best places to stay in the country: the staff and the food. Be prepared to eat and eat and eat some more. Do not pass up any seafood item and go ahead and taste all deserts. Over the top.

Worth every penny! From the time you enter the gates you feel like royalty and are treated the same. The rooms are large and beautifully appointed. The bath and dressing area are as large as many hotel rooms. Each room has a balcony overlooking the famous marshes of Georgia. A perfect spot for a liesurely breakfast. For spa lovers, the spa is the best I have ever experienced.

The facility recently changed ownership. I will return soon and hope to find they have maintained the traditional Southern hospitality and quality service I have experienced in the past.

We were guests at the Cloister a few weeks ago for a mother/daughter getaway. Our room was luxurious and comfortable with picturesque river views.

This Mediterranean style property, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Black Banks River, is a one-of-a-kind destination. The on site spa is a must see and the Georgian Room will not disappoint. However, Colt & Alison, at The Lodge, has the best filet mignon that I have had - ever! Needless to say, dessert was a scrumptious Gold Brick Sundae.

The magnificent facilities, spectacular gardens and unsurpassed level of personal service blend seamlessly to create this Forbes Five-Star Resort and many delightful memories. Interestingly enough, the lone bagpiper silhouetted against the setting sun is the memory that lingers with me.

Just returned from an enchanting stay at the Cloister. Had a third floor room overlooking the marsh, thick walls made sleeping a dream (pardon the pun), little touches throughout the room such as vanity seats in the bathroom, double bathroom doors for privacy, a cigar room to die for in the main hotel. Food was outstanding as was the service. Breakfast was limited to the formal dining room which was one of the few downsides. Spa for both women and men was five star as were the grounds. We will be annual visitors to the Cloister.
