Frommer's Review
This award-winning property isn't the most imposing on the island. Many visitors, however, prefer the Hilton because of its hideaway position: tucked at the end of the main road through Palmetto Dunes, and because its rooms are, on average, a bit larger than those within any other resort on the island. In addition, a $4-million renovation, completed in 2008, adds to its appeal. The low-rise design features hallways that open to sea breezes at either end. The guest rooms offer balconies that angle out toward the beach allowing sea views from all rooms. HH Prime, an upmarket steakhouse which looks a lot more glamorous at night than during the day, when it evokes an upscale coffee shop, is the resort's premier restaurant, although an on-site Pizza Hut serves less expensive fare. In 2007, the resort inaugurated a glossy, urban-looking bar and lounge, with live music.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
