The property and surrounding areas looked old and run down. The road leading up to our unit were in much needed repairs. The porch and deck needed painting. The inside was nice and in good condition.

Lovely town house
The villa was very nice. A little far from the beach and it was necessary to drive to tennis and golf. Check in was terrible. It took at least 15 minutes to locate our reservation, the clerk said that we'd be charged $230, for cleaning ( which i disputed)and no one from management ever returned my calls.

A Fun Week
This was our 3rd stay at Ocean Palms. We rented this time. Prior to this, we had stayed on a time share exchange. There were 3 of us and the rest of our family stayed next door at another resort. Check in was quick and easy, although, when my husband asked what the resort fee covered, the clerk did not know. She did not inform us that two charges, which were pending and never cleared, would show on our bank statement. $125 and $75 for “authorization.” The resort fee allows you to use the Westin Hotel pools and loungers at the pool, as well as charge food, drinks and services to your room. It does not allow you to park at the hotel. You must take the shuttle. The hotel and beach are exactly half mile away. When we went to the beach, we preferred to drive so we parked in the public metered lot at Islanders Beach. We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath. The condo was very clean and well stocked and beds were very comfortable. They do need updating. Furniture is very dated as well as appliances. Appliances are in good working order, just a bit dated. Bathrooms were large and very nice. We did use the Westin spa and it is exceptional. We had breakfast two mornings, which was also really good. We tried to go to View 32 one evening but they could not accommodate our group. The only real concern for us was not being able to park at the hotel since we like to bring our own chairs, umbrella and cooler to the beach. We would stay again because we like the location and we love Westin Hotel.

Fabulous location. Great condo and be able to use hotel facilities was a real asset.
It’s a great unit in a wonderful location we would definitely go back again. Availability of the Westin hotel was a big advantage to us.

Great Resort. Quiet, close to the beach and Westin facilities. Living room furniture could use updating and mold in shower grout could use some help.
But, we loved our stay and will return.
We stayed at the Ocean Palms Villa in Port Royal. The unit was clean and and the bathrooms were recently renovated. We were able to check in early which was nice. The unit location was fantastic as it was close to a smaller pool and the beach access was five minute walk but still secluded and quiet. The decor of the unit is a bit outdated and could be updated but it was fine as we didn’t spend much time in the unit. The kitchen could also be outfitted better with utensils - example being there was no spatula. Also the deck outback could use a power washing and fresh coat of paint. Overall we would definitely stay again.
Great five days. Place accommodated all of our needs. Very clean.
VRBO great and easy!!

Spacious comfortable space
We enjoyed our visit to Ocean Palms. The condo is spacious and very comfortable. It is about a 10 minute walk to the beach. The whole check in/communication with management part is the reason I can't rate this stay any higher. I tried to call several times to talk with the management about adding a day on the front end of our visit and could never reach anyone. On the day before check in (the extra day I wanted to add), about 3 PM, I had a call from someone at Ocean Palms saying we could add on the extra day. Of course, at that point it was too late. We stayed in a local hotel. There were NO advance check in instructions. Fortunately I had read other review that stated that the process was confusing and that you had to go to the Westin to check in. The person working in the office was very efficient. Upon check in you are charged $300 for incidentals at the Westin. We didn't even go to the Westin. At all. We were told we had privileges but not given any written information. There wasn't even any instructions about how to get to the beach. All in all it was a good stay, very comfortable place, but the information about check in and contact with managers was very poor.
1. Zero communication from property owner about check in process, it took going through reviews to figure out what to do. If you're staying here, you have to check in at the main Westin Hotel in a small office near the SPA.
2. Be ready for a large surprise resort deposit, just incase you charge anything on the resort even if you're not using any amenities. This is listed in the property description.
3. The back door is not secure, it leads to a public space near the pool. We wouldn't have known if we didn't pull on the door before we went to bed. We slammed it hard, still would latch. We had to set furniture in front of it to secure it then worry about it all night.
4. Over 24 hours later, we still haven't heard from the property owner after two emails.
Having the surprise deposit for a resort we weren't using and having to worry all night about a door wasn't the best experience combined with zero communication on a check in process

Golf Trip to Hilton Head Island, SC
The location of the Ocean Palms is excellent and the prices are acceptable. The Westin Management is excellent and were very responsive to our needs. Having the Golf included (for cart fee only) at four different courses was outstanding. The downside- the Bldg's themselves are in need of renovations. We had to call maintenance because the bathroom drains (sinks and tubs) were not draining properly and the shower curtain in the 2nd bath fell down and we were not able to get it back up. The tub was rusted in the 2nd bath. The baths are very dated--the furnishings are very dated and although the kitchen appears to have been updated (cabinets and counters) the Stove, Fridge, Dishwasher are ancient. The unit was clean. The back porch was dirty and the paint was peeling. They never came around to blow the leaves off either--we would not ever use the porch. All in all, we would likely return to Ocean Palms if we could find a unit which had some upgrades.

Very good.
It's hard to know where to check in. Everything else is comfortable and I want to visit again. It is a hotel that I want to visit as many times as I want.
