The Beach at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa

"A circular drive winds around a sculpture of long-legged marsh birds as you approach this beachfront resort, whose lush landscape lies on the island's quietest stretch of sand"

"Situated on a private white sand beach, the resort's activities club for children, specialized maps for runners, and golf and racquet club make for a bucolic or energetic stay, depending on your temperament"

"With an atmosphere that's "both relaxed and upscale”, this hotel right "on the beach" on Hilton Head's northern end offers “everything you need for a conference or vacation”, including "newly refinished” rooms that are “tastefully decorated” (many with a “direct ocean view”), plus oceanfront pools and “beautiful" grounds with easy access to the beach; the hotel attracts families and “holiday weekends are pretty hectic”, giving it a “Disney World feel”, but “courteous” and “helpful” staffers keep things under control"

"Expand your mind on white-sand beaches, channel your energy on the golf course, or just relax at our historic Port Royal Plantation resort"

"The top-notch Premier Oceanfront Suites located in the five-story beachfront closest to the ocean are a long walk from the lobby but worth the top-tier price"
