Hotel

Best Things Nearby:
Beach is two blocks away, pool is GREAT, tennis is on site, and you can ride your bike on the beach.

Best Things About the Resort:
I loved the alligators that walk around. They're small but they mind there own. They almost look fake in the water paths of the resort. There are also large frogs and turtles in the ponds on the grounds. The three bedroom villa is huge and it is well-decorated.

Resort Experience:
I loved this place, I can not wait to go back. It is like paradise when entering the plantation. They offer a free grill night. The pool was perfect and the room was top notch.

Activity

We enjoyed going around the golf course and riding the bikes on the beach. Bring plenty of water with you. I do not suggest riding your bike on the main roads.

Biking
Hilton Head Island Hilton Head, South Carolina

Sand is hard and you are able to ride your bike on it. It is nice to walk up and down the beach just to look at the homes on the beach.

Harbor town

Activity

What a boat dock this is. It is the cleanest dock you have ever seen. It has lights all around. The boats are all types. The yachts come from all over the United States and they are gorgeous to look at.

There are resturants at the dock. We ate at the one by the lighthouse (food was good but you may find better). The place is very crowded but it is worth going to. The parking was a little hard to find (Tip: There are 2 separate parking lots that are in 2 different locations.) and you also have to pay a one day toll to get there.
