We wanted a few days away from home and found the best deal in Hilton Head. We were pleasantly surprised that the Omni Resort was offering a great deal for oceanside rooms. The rooms are all 500 sq ft with kitchenette and living rooms. Great King sized bed and quiet location. The staff was great and room service prices reasonable. We'll be back.

A one-night stay for a business meeting in one of Hilton Head's oldest--but up to date--beach hotel and resort complexes produced a comfortable experience, suggesting more time and more use of the amenities would make for an excellent vacation. The hotel is about to undergo extensive renovations; despite that future, the quality of the surroundings and especially the hospitality of the staff was first-rate. Rooms are large, well appointed, clean and comfortable; the restaurant is adequate, if small for larger crowds; a breakfast buffet was pricey but well-presented and prepared; the bar was comfortable. Above all, the staff performed superbly making the experience welcoming and efficient. Worth the stay for a night or more.

Stayed at this hotel several times, when it was owned by Hilton and you now get the bang for the buck you expect in a resort hotel. The staff went above and beyond. The room and grounds were in great condition and they're starting a multi-million dollar renovations shortly. So it will only get better. Bonus: I didn't have to sit in the lobby to get wifi service like in years past. Oh, the little things that add up. Great job Omni.

My wife and I stayed here every year for five years running while it was a Hilton property, taking advantage of Hilton points and the fabulous beachfront location on HHI in the Dunes Plantation. I was saddened to see the property change hands this year from Hilton to Omni, however, decide to give it a try and spent a few days there in October. The front desk staff were reasonably polite, however, my prior stays with Hilton didn't count for anything and the first room we were assigned had a horrific odor of spoiled milk. So much so that we moved to another room the following day and the bell staff who helped with luggage stated (unsolicited) that "this room sure smells better that the last one." Generally speaking the grounds are NOT as impeccably maintained as when Hilton ran the property, particularly the courtyard area which was full of leaves/debris/cigar butts/etc. Nevertheless, it is still a decent location, close to golf, Shelter Cove restaurants (do yourself a favor and avoid Bistro 17) and with private amenities of beach, pool, bar. Although pet lovers may think it a haven, I am not impressed, not that I have aught against a pet, watching people take their dogs out to defecate in the parking lot and do nothing to clean it up is disgusting and the hotel makes no provision for aid/enforcement of cleaning up the mess. As a good friend of mine once told me, there is no such thing as a dumb dog, just dumb owners.
