Reviews and Ratings
The Cloister at Sea Island is an absolute gem for anyone seeking a luxurious getaway. The rooms offer tremendous comfort and plenty of space, making our stay incredibly enjoyable. The dining experiences were top-notch, with delightful options that kept us coming back for more. However, some of the outdoor areas felt a bit crowded, especially during peak times. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for families looking for a mix of relaxation and adventure.
I had an incredible experience at the Sea Island Resort! The staff was attentive and genuinely interested in making my stay special, while the amenities and activities offered were impressive. The dining options were outstanding, especially the fresh pasta at Tavola. However, at times, the hubbub of meetings and events made it feel less serene in certain areas.
We had a wonderful stay at the Cloister, celebrating our honeymoon in a beautiful resort that offered exceptional service and a stunning atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and luxurious, but there were a few minor issues that could have been addressed. The dining experiences were memorable, especially the quality at the restaurants. Overall, it’s a fantastic place, particularly for special occasions, but a few improvements in service and communication would enhance the experience even more.
My stay at The Cloister was nothing short of extraordinary! The grounds of the resort were exceptionally beautiful, with meticulous landscaping that created a serene backdrop for my vacation. The rooms were luxurious and spacious, making me feel pampered throughout my stay. Dining options were top-notch, featuring a variety of amazing meals that truly impressed my palate. However, during a busy holiday, the crowded spaces and buffet-style options detracted from the otherwise five-star experience. Overall, I highly recommend visiting, but it might be better outside the peak seasons.
My stay at the Cloister was a mixed bag. On one hand, the service was outstanding, with staff going out of their way to ensure our comfort. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, creating a serene atmosphere. However, I faced some frustrations with the dining options being limited during my visit and some disorganization with our reservations. Overall, I enjoyed my time but felt it could improve in a few areas given the premium price.
Our time at Sea Island was genuinely magical, especially after being cooped up for months. The activities kept our family entertained, and the spa treatments were rejuvenating. The food was mostly fantastic, especially once we connected with the chef regarding our daughter's dietary needs. However, the breakfast room service needs improvement, and I wish there had been better coffee options available.
Overall, my stay at The Cloisters was a mix of highs and lows. The spacious suite and breathtaking views really stood out, but the service experienced, especially regarding the staff's responsiveness and communication, left much to be desired. The beauty of the grounds and engaging activities made for some memorable moments, but security concerns dampened the experience a bit. The dining was exceptional, particularly at the River Bar, but the consistent service issues we faced kept the overall rating from being perfect.
I recently had a phenomenal experience at the Cloister at Sea Island, celebrating my wedding anniversary. The stunning grounds and engaging activities made for a memorable stay. The staff's personal touches added a nice flair, though I found the price a bit on the steep side for some of the dining options. Overall, an indulgent getaway worthy of every penny.
The Cloister at Sea Island is a stunning resort with breathtaking landscaping and exceptional activities for all ages. The architecture and natural beauty truly wowed us, making it a memorable visit. However, we had an unfortunate experience at the River Bar that left us feeling undervalued despite the overall ambiance and charm of the place.
I had a wonderful time at the Cloister, with beautiful grounds and a unique historical charm that really stood out. The service was impressive, making me feel special throughout my stay, particularly during our anniversary celebration. However, the check-in process was a bit of a hassle, and the beach club food could use some improvement in quality and presentation. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with plenty of highlights.
