Hilton Head Island is for everyone

Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa

I just returned from a conference that was held at the Westin Hilton Head Resort & Spa. They were wonderful hosts and I am sure to visit again soon, especially since they are dog friendly. Maggie would love to go on vacation with us and next time she will, the dogs are VIP's and even have their own "Heavenly Beds". The Westin just completed a $35 million dollar renovation and it shows, the lobby was completely redone and is such a nice place to relax, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, I love the new colors and brand new bathrooms, the outdoor areas are  beautiful and relaxing with multiple pools and seating areas throughout. You can even enjoy the firepits in the evening, just imagine sitting outside feeling the warm tropical breeze and toasting marshmallows..... yum. The resort is located on a beautiful stretch of beach and is just beautiful! What stands out here the most is the staff, they are so friendly and helpful just as you would expect in the South. Definitely plan your next stay in Hliton Head here at The Westin Resort & Spa.

Since we have vacationed on Hilton Head many times I wanted to give you some helpful information and hopefully you will want to go and share in our love for HHI. Enjoy!

For years my family has been enjoying the beauty and southern hospitality on Hilton Head Island. We love going there for the laid back, relaxing, fun vacations. It really is paradise for so many people, there is so much to do; tennis, golf, biking,  boating, fishing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and so much more. If you want to relax there are amazing beaches and refreshing pools too! For kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding(SUPB) we always visit our friends at Outside Hilton Head in the Shelter Cove Harbour. Try your luck at SUPB or enjoy the sunset kayak tour- it is breathtaking and if you're lucky you will see a few dolphins. The tours are led by naturalist guides who are very knowledgeable and friendly. Your whole family will enjoy!

Another great feature of HHI is the cuisine, there are over 100 non-chain restaurants on this small island and so many of them are great! A few of our favorites are Annie O's Southern Eats, Bistro 17 and Fiesta Fresh Grill. AtAnnie O's they serve real traditional southern foods like fried chicken, mac & cheese and  shrimp & grits all made from scratch and don't forget the sweet tea. Bistro 17 is our go to restaurant for celebrations and is located in Shelter Cove Harbour, grab an outdoor table here and enjoy beef bourguignon, french onion soup or lobster salad. Fiesta Fresh Grill is a never miss for Mexican food, you will find great value here with delicious food and big portions. The owners are so friendly and we always leave happy.  There are many other restaurants we love.....give me a call I'd be happy to share more with you.

Hilton Head Island is easy to reach, it's an easy drive from the east coast and is served by 2 airports, one on Hilton Head Island (US AIR) and Savannah International Airport(45 minutes away)
