10/10 Excellent

This hotel is a great place to stay if you want to explore Kiawah but not spend a fortune on lodging. You can easily bike to the beach and through the beautiful island trails from here. The pool area is great the lobby is quite nice. They serve a good breakfast as well. The rooms are spacious and most have equipped kitchens which is nice. They are a little dark though and could use more lighting. We enjoyed watching the herons and alligators in the adjacent pond. Lots of good shops and...
