Frommer's Review

A bit livelier than Kiawah Island, its major competitor, this complex is set on landscaped ground on the north shore. The resort sits on 1,600 acres of a private, gated community. The award-winning hotel has two widely acclaimed golf courses, plus an array of other outdoor attractions, including kayaking, a kids' camp, and more. Guests have a wide choice of options for accommodations, including the 93-room Boardwalk Inn, plus the Village at Wild Dunes, with some 160 quality rooms and suites with AAA's rating of four diamonds. The rest of the compound is formed by homes and villas ranging from 1 bedroom to 11, many of them oceanfront. All accommodations are just steps from the beach. The family recreation program is designed for ages 8 to 88.

Facilities:
4 restaurants; 3 bars; 4 outdoor pools; 2 18-hole golf courses; 18 tennis courts; fitness center; sauna; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

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.
