The Cloister at Sea Island

The Cloister is simply the best! Our hospital group had about 100 people for a meeting and had a great time. The food was excellent and the meeting venues are excellent. The staff is excellent, always pleasant and accommodating. We look forward to returning.

We stayed at The Cloisters for 2 nights and found the hotel wonderful decked out in Christmas decorations. The staff was polite and attentive and our garden room felt luxurious in every aspect. We played golf at Seaside course nearby at The Lodge. The property, golf, and restaurants were all outstanding in both locations. We will very likely come back again in the offseason when likely much quieter than busier summer months.

Disappointing overall - especially for cost. Advertised like a five star experiences delivers 2 star everything. Pros: lots of activities, beautiful property, convenient parking, mostly lovely staff, responsive concierge staff during stay, and wonderful suite layout for a large family Cons: food was expensive and average at best (eating off property was superior every time), no great options for breakfast on property, room service tasted like exclusively microwaved food, absolutely filthy suite (mold on air vents, dirty water stains on the baseboards, dead and dried out frogs and bugs, clothes in washer and dryer from previous guests, dirty refrigerator and dishwasher, floors that were so filthy our feet were dirty), asking for a crib when we booked the hotel and followed up and of course no crib on arrival, routinely having to initiate cleaning of our room via phone calls and text messages, unresponsive/uncaring managers and check out staff when the cleanliness of room was brought up throughout the stay, at check out, and then they would not return phone calls or emails to discuss, if you visit on a weekend be prepared to fight for a lounge chair near the pool but beach was much easier, odd operation hours for many activities and features on property Overall we enjoyed the resort but the room was a well decorated skeevy motel room - we were only there for a brief stay and we drove but the whole time I kept thinking to myself how badly I felt for people that flew there to visit and had to stay in those rooms for more than a few days. I would not recommend to anyone unfortunately.

Basically 3 properties in one. Coastal, beach front and golf. Style is traditional, yet amenities, service, food and details are all world class. Some of the best golf facilities I have seen.

The resort had lost its. charm. Agree with other reviews that the service has gone down to the level of the hilton. Avoid staying here. Couldn’t even give us a quiet room. Been coming here annually but no more.
