Beautiful Resort
Beautiful property and the staff are exceptional. One note for anyone traveling without a vehicle to the property, you need to pre-arrange transportation for your departure. We didn't realize this and almost missed our flight out of Charleston.

For the type of resort it was very surprising to see so many screaming little kids running in the hallways everywhere. Made it impossible to relax. Need to put rules around that for those parents that allow this behavior.

Superior Hospitality
While this resort is beautiful, world-class, it is the staff- Kristan and Veronica at the restaurant and Charles (Charlie?) who gave us insights on the art there who truly made our brief stay memorable and exceptional.
