Our stay at The Cloister was almost perfect, with beautiful grounds and plenty of engaging activities, but we encountered a few hiccups with the service that hindered our experience. The rooms were incredibly spacious and beautifully designed, and the property boasts a wide array of family-friendly amenities. While the dining options were top-notch, we had some issues with service speed and communication that put a damper on a few of our outings. Overall, a lovely resort that still needs some fine-tuning in the staff training department.

Our stay at Sea Island was refreshing and fun, especially after months of being cooped up at home. The resort offers a fantastic range of family activities, and we truly appreciated the efforts made in the dining realm, especially when accommodating dietary restrictions. However, the high pricing for meals and some slightly outdated aspects did put a bit of a damper on our experience. Overall, it was an incredible vacation that we can't wait to repeat.
