Everything about this vacation was amazing. The rooms are spacious the staff is so friendly and accomadating. Everyday at 2 they have fresh baked cookies and lemonade in the lobby for free. There are lots of activities for the kids. From a DJ party by the pool with dancing to roasting marshmallows by a camp fire with sing alongs. This was my first disney hotel and it left a lasting impression. The fooditself in hilton head itself was amazing. Every place we ate the food was awesome and fresh. If you like seafood it is a added bonus to this vacation.

We come here every Fall to use our leftover DVC points. The pools are heated for the cooler weather, and it it not very crowded. There are lots of activities for the kids -some at a nominal fee. The beach house is not on the property, but it is very nice & there is a shuttle service. The only restaurant is a walk up window with breakfast & lunch, but there are numerous ones nearby. Very relaxing!

We'd never been to HH before so we decided to use some Disney points and give it a try. On the marsh side, it seemed to be a more tranquail setting and the view was amazing! Since it was a little off season, it was quiet, which is fine with us! Don't come expecting to see Mickey and Minnie, you'll be dissappointed. If you've been to Disney resorts before the rooms won't be a surpise to you. They're the same 2 bed, 2 bath units we're use to in Orlando, without the Disney symbols everywhere. They do seem to have activities scheduled to keep the kids from going stir crazy and ofcourse they have a nice kid friendly pool and a fishing pier. Hilton Head does seem to be a little more of an adult appealing place than for kids. Service here is about the same as in any Disney resort, maybe a bit more laid back but still very friendly and helpful. There are no nice places on site for a good meal. There are a few places you can walk to but the majority of good dining requires driving. Get directions before you go out at night, there are no street lights or lit signage to tell you where you are!

Two couples shared a two bedroom villa. The rooms were large and included a full kitchen with everything we needed for our stay. We had a very nice deck/balcony overlooking the marsh area. I agree with some other reviews that I read that recommend an upper floor room overlooking the marsh area (unless you have kids and want to be close to the pool and the center of the activities). The resort is in Shelter Cove, so it is an easy walk to the shops and restaurants there. There was a free bluegrass concert in Shelter Cove on the Thursday evening that we were there. There is no sit down restaurant on the Disney property, so you will likely want a car to visit other restaurants and explore the island. We had planned to go on a dolphin excursion and a kayak tour, but the weather did not cooperate due to Hurricane Sandy. The recreation staff called and let us know about the cancellations and suggested other alternatives. We ended up renting bikes to ride to the beach and enjoying some of the other activities at the resort such as shuffleboard, ping pong, etc. We were there to relax and celebrate two birthdays, so the windy weather didn't bother us too much. The only complaint that we had was that the couch was uncomfortable to sit on.
