Montage Palmetto Bluff

We spent two nights at Montage Palmetto Bluff and had an absolutely amazing time for my wife's 40th birthday. We walked the property, took a tennis lesson, hit the spa, rode bikes, and enjoyed all that the delicious restaurants had to offer (possibly too much!) Sean and Harrison at Octagon went above and beyond with their hospitality on my wife's special day. A great getaway, especially during these crazy pandemic times. Thanks for a fabulous weekend!

Overall, highly recommend the Montage Palmetto Bluff. The accommodations are plush, the service is fantastic and the setting is gorgeous. We had a few misses, but given COVID I don’t think these were normal Montage misses, but rather due to staffing adjustments and limited visitors. We will absolutely be back and remember our stay there very fondly. Great place for a family getaway. We stayed in a beautiful Lagoon View Cottage which was great for a family of four with two littles. There was more than enough space, and the screened in porch off the back provided a great spot for quiet meals away from everyone. We had a small issue with one of the closets having a very soggy rug which engineering was never able to dry out. While it ultimately didn’t impact our stay, it’s not what I would expect at a 5-star resort. Otherwise, the room was very comfortable, the bed was fantastic and it was great to have an entrance from the outside. From a COVID perspective, the cottages and outer buildings with outside entrances are an excellent choice. They are also quiet and a lovely place to enjoy the natural beauty of the low country. We felt very safe on property the whole time. The staff was very diligent about their own mask wearing as well as politely reminding guests if they saw someone without a mask. The resort did a great job keeping their staff and guests safe which I truly respect. Everywhere from the market to the lobby to even the golf carts that act as roaming shuttles required masks to keep their staff and guests healthy. The food on property was excellent. We had wonderful breakfasts outside each morning at Octagon, with stellar service. The fried chicken at Cole’s is so good we had it two nights - both to go to be enjoyed on our porch. There are a ton of activities - two pools, one adults only, treehouses, bikes, horseback riding, golf, s’mores and more. The concierge was the one low point in our experience. I tried to get ahold of them via phone and email to book horseback riding prior to our stay and didn’t have success in a response until my travel advisor got involved. Even while on property, it was difficult to get guidance from them if you didn’t specifically know what you wanted - hard to do on a first visit! We chalked it up to Covid and having new people in different roles, but this is one area I would be prepared for as there are activities and restaurants that really need to be booked in advance to ensure availability. The activities were booked in advance through our travel advisor, so all ended well. We had a great experience at the stables. We will absolutely return to the Montage Palmetto Bluff. It’s a beautiful sanctuary with everything you could need for a relaxing or active stay on property. There are nice touches like cookies in the lobby in the afternoon for “porching” and s’mores in the evenings. They have lanyards for kids with medallions to collect as you experience new things and the staff for the most part seems genuinely happy to be there and help in any way. Those are the touches that really elevate this resort to the next level. There are activities for all and you can really make a vacation here as active or relaxing as you’d like.

My family and I spent four nights in one of the cabins at Montage Palmetto Bluff this past December & had an amazing time! The hotel is beautiful, the grounds are gorgeous, & the service excellent. Joseph Walraven, the concierge, is FANTASTIC! He went above and beyond the call of duty to help make our vacation a great one. We took a fun boat ride on the May River & saw dolphins! Went skeet shooting at the shooting club, & spent an afternoon exploring Savannah. The Montage is a great place to escape with your family. My only complaint - there are a crazy number of add-on taxes & hotel fees when you check-out so beware! Other then that, it's a wonderful resort!

We had an absolutely amazing stay here for our honeymoon! The cottage was cozy, clean, comfortable, and private. Bathroom was beautiful and steam shower was great as well. We loved being able to bike around on our bikes, enjoyed great meals everywhere we ate, and took advantage of some amazing tours (sunset dolphin tour). During Covid-19, we felt every precaution was being taken and felt we could enjoy our stay safely. The property is beautiful! S'mores each night were a fun addition and a great way to meet others. Bowling was a great activity as well. We enjoyed taking a day to visit Savannah and the town of Bluffton as well. All the staff we kind, welcoming and helpful. Overall, we had an amazing honeymoon and can't wait to visit again!

We had a wonderful time here and wish we were there longer. The room was beautiful and the grounds were perfect. We enjoyed the golf and the inshore fishing. Our dinner at the Canoe House was fantastic. It helped that weather was good to enjoy being on the property. We will return.
