Hilton Beachfront Resort & Spa Hilton Head Island
The resort & the proximity to the beach was great, would have liked the pool side area lit up at night for people that wanted to enjoy the breeze. The room could have used some air fresheners & a microwave for guest. The staff & the food service was A1 and the outdoor pool was GREAT
