Montage Palmetto Bluff

My wife and I attended a wedding there. Outstanding accommodations and services. Beautiful setting. The wedding was wonderfully done, as well. Highly recommend this resort.

I visited with 3 girlfriends for a 2-night cold November stay and we had a great time! I was a little worried it wouldn’t be as enjoyable with cold weather, but that wasn’t the case at all. The spa was wonderful - shoutout to my therapist Bell. We generally enjoyed the restaurants we visited (Octagon, Buffalos, River House) and the Outside Palmetto Bluff kayak experience was a great morning workout. Shoutout to the man who shuttled us around in a golf cart on a couple of occasions, Kevin (Daily?). He told us all about the history and really made us feel welcome and at home. Tips: Book restaurant reservations in advance - they get very busy!

Beautiful resort with excellent service and food. We were very pleased with our room and the use of a golf cart during our stay. The grounds are immense and Beautiful.

We have been to Palmetto Bluff twice before and we love the beauty and nature that it provides. This review is only about the Montage and not the community. I would recommend the community to anybody but the experience with the Montage did not meet our expectations. It seems like this facility wants to cater to corporate events and weddings and there is clearly a struggle between the community and the hotel. The harmonious relationship that existed in our previous visits had obviously been strained and fractured. The hotel is nice, the accommodations are cozy but I am paying for more than just a room. This is where the hotel falls short. I found myself asking what am I getting or $1000+/nt? We were not told about limitations on the restaurants in the community and how many restaurants are only available to members or require advance reservations by the concierge (things we learned the hard way). We would have expected that information upon check-in. We had two failed attempts to try to have dinner on property so after these mishaps, we decided that it was best to spend our money in the local town (we stayed for 4 nights). We did eat lunch at Buffalos and sandwiches at RT's market and enjoyed the community but I still found myself asking what do you get for $1000+/night at this resort. Maybe our expectations were tainted by our previous trips but I felt duped by what we received. Why doesn't the hotel tell you about the amenities that you can enjoy? We were told we could pick up free bikes but nothing about the numerous trails that exist. No information about the 20,000 acres and miles of riverfront that make this community special. Although we appreciated the welcome drink, we would have welcomed more information about the property, amenities, restaurants, and what you may want to enjoy during your stay.

Beautiful property with so much to do. 10/10 would come back to visit everything we did not see this time! The view of the water and the nature made it all worth the trip.
