Marriott's Grande Ocean

This is one of the properties that we visited during the Christmas Holidays, and I must say that I was presently surprised! We were a bit apprehensive because of all the Marriott resorts we have visited in Hilton Head, this appeared to be one of the most “dated” ones. However, the grounds and that awesome beach makes up for it! We enjoyed an oceanfront view and the beach was literally steps outside the building! of all of the Marriott properties in which we visited, this one is the most easily accessible one, especially if travelling with elderly patients. Every staff member that we met were just genuinely kind and helpful which created a very pleasant experience for us. We will certainly be visiting again!

The room was spacious.

I had to pay for park8ng

We always love this place. Third year in a row. I love the pool/beach side bar and the hot tub.

The parking fee, which was in the small print when I made the reservation, really made me mad. It's really a hidden resort fee. One of our guest was only going to be there two of the three nights and we had to pay for all three. That really upset me and means I could go else where in the future.

Localizado em frente à praia. Quarto amplo com cozinha e lavanderia completas. Máquina de gelo na garagem.

This is by far the best resort that we’ve stayed at thus far. Anywhere we stay moving forward has some huge shoes to fill! The front staff was nice. She did a good job explaining everything. We were aware of what needed reservation, what had a fee, the layout. She even gave a good recommendation for a date night. The concierge was not helpful. I asked about the distillery cause we already planned on going. He told us he couldn’t help book more was he aware of any discounts. However when I settled in, it was listed as one of the places that accepts the MVC discounts. (Marriot vacation club) Our suite was equipped with all the necessities. It had body wash, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, dishwashing pods, washing powder, a laundry baskets, pool towels, pots, pans, bakeware, utensils, complete dinnerware, coffee maker, kettle, extra trash bags, etc. Our kitchen towels were folded into cute crabs, so cute! I love that the living room and dining area actually had seating for 6. We had an ocean from view that gave the most amazing sunset/ sunrise views! Nice are to sit in the balcony and enjoy the breeze. There is ice machines that distribute full bags so there’s no need for o keep filling the ice bin, which is also provided in the room. There were shopping cart for those who may have a lot of grocery bags. So u don’t have to worry about it falling on the luggage carriers like we initially had. The real MVPs are the activity teams and Mark and Debra!! Mark and Debra has an impeccable teaching style for the tennis clinics. Their patience and motivation. My oldest daughter and I really enjoyed it. The activity team did a flawless job with timing and keeping the scheduled activities fun. Our favorite activities were soap making, sundae bar, bingo, family feud, stargazing, and s’mores to go! We were fortunate enough to see a shooting star during stargazing! There were a lot of ppl aware of all the scientific things. I just enjoyed seeing Saturn, the galaxy and a variety of clusters. It was really good. If you even been to Florida keys and enjoys the relax island vibes, HHI is like that but with a better ocean front and better clubhouses and a lot of southern charm! The sand is so fine and soft! I don’t know what the material is between the sand and water but I loved it. It was firm enough to ride bikes and take a walk with the mess of “sand”. You can also get really far in the water without the sand shifting under your feet. It is truly one of kind. The were plenty of well landscapes areas to relax like the swings and hammocks. I appreciate the indoor pool not being overly chloride. Some pools would chock out your soul. Everyone, from the resort to the local to those who are visiting are helpful and friendly. I did not ask this but we assumed that the island or at least the resort is very environmentally aware of conservation. The trees are persevered well and make for some amazing pictures. The bags at the most stores are not one time use. There are bike trails through the island The only complaint is the MVC discount was not honored at all the places listed.

I have NEVER been treated so horribly! I was on a family vacation with my 2 adult children and was approached by MARRIOTT if I would like to do a presentation for 150.00 resort bucks. I figured, why not, that could pay for a meal. OH MY GOD......I was treated like a scammer, like I was taking money out of THEIR pockets. My husband was not on the trip and I was never told they wanted him there too . They weren't even low key rude, but out right hostile! I'll NEVER stay at a Marriott again. I am a Bonvoy member AND use my Marriott credit card all the time.....NEVER AGAIN! OVER MY COLD DEAD BODY. Worst experience of my life involving a hotel chain.

Beautiful resort, but the choice of rooms is either ocean front or ocean side. I booked an ocean side because no ocean fronts were available, assumed I would have a side view of the ocean. What a scam. I could see a very little bit of the ocean from so far away that it looked like a still shot. If you want a room with a balcony where you can sit and see a view of some water, this is not the place for you.

Had a few cold days in Nov. Heat in unit did not work. Water in entire complex was shut off with 15 min notice for most of day for repairs. Went to play ping pong. Net ripped on old worn tables. Shower valve needs repairs too. Was better last time we were here. Nice location but mgmt could be better.

The villas here are wonderful. They are beautiful, roomy, quiet, and very much up to date. This is a great place to stay while in Hilton Head. The pools are great, the area is beautiful and well-kept, and beach access is outstanding. What a great place!
