A very nice place to stay. Rooms are clean and smell refreshing. Front desk check in was easy. Fresh baked cookies in the lobby for a welcome snack. Very friendly staff. The resort is easy to get to but island traffic can be hectic.

This resort is a good spot for a longer stay on St. Simons - it’s secluded but still a great distance from all the things you’d want to do. Plus with amenities like a free shuttle, it makes the distance worth it. The rooms were clean and spacious, plus had a nice fridge / kitchenette which was convenient for our longer stay. We had a patio with incredible marsh views which we enjoyed - although it clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a while and there were many dead & alive wasps which made it less desirable. We also felt we didn’t have neighbors for the first part of our trip, but once people checked in above us - it was very loud. We were woken up at night and in the morning with loud thumping sounds which we hadn’t heard the first few nights. It’s also worth mentioning that we had a week long stay but were only provided with a couple of non-decaf coffee pods, only a couple towels and only a roll and a half of toilet paper. These things were brought to us quickly upon request - but since they don’t have room service without requesting it, we did have to call for extras. The pool was nice and the tiki bartenders were awesome through our stay - but heads up you can’t bring outside food or drink into the pool so prepare to return to your room or pay some steep lunch prices for pool side food. Overall, if you’re traveling with a dog - this is an especially convenient place to stay. The free shuttle was amazing for my husband and I to go to dinners (shoutout Keith and Jerome for the rides!!), the pool was spacious and calm for reading, and the room was comfy with easy access to take my dog out to go to the bathroom.

We visited as a quick getaway-girls trip. From check-in to check-out our experience was amazing! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They were ready to accommodate our needs and did so with a smile. Our room was clean and we had a beautiful view of the marsh. The property was quiet and even with a large wedding on property, we did not experience any disturbances. The pool was clean and well run. We visited during a busy time and the pool staff kept the area running efficiently. They were even greeting guest and making sure their needs were met. The bar area was well run and had great drink selections. Overall we enjoyed our quick getaway and will definitely be choosing Sea Palms for our next visit!

I would like to commend several members of the staff who worked the ACS Breast Cancer Fashion Show today. Amanda, Brie, Dan, Tristen and Drew. It was very evident to the committee how courteous and approachable the staff was, even during the hustle and bustle of the setup! Despite the high-energy atmosphere, they remained friendly and took the time to answer any questions, providing supplies as needed, and ensuring that everything was on track. Thank you for helping to make our event a success!

We’ve stayed here a few times and it’s always a great experience. The rooms are spacious and have a rustic farmhouse feel to them. There’s a restaurant and a golf course on-site. The location is great - close to shops and restaurants by car. The staff here is always professional and helpful.

The views from our balcony was wonderful. We enjoyed the room with a separate bedroom. Very spacious. The restaurant had tasty food and we had a really good dinner and good service. The highlight was the excellent, welcoming check in with Gabe. He was personable, we genuinely felt welcomed and I immediately told him he stood out amongst the many check in experiences I've ever had. He deserved recognition.

The Sea Palms resort is at a quiet and picturesque location in St. Simon's island. Rooms are great with marsh view, and the facility is easily walkable. We liked the dinner and Saturday breakfast at the on-site restaurant. The shuttle service to locations around the island like the Pier was helpful. We definitely plan to visit again!
