Montage Palmetto Bluff

This was our 3rd trip to Palmetto Bluff and I’m sad to say I won’t be back. I was so disappointed in the changes in quality and service that has kept us coming back. Loud jackhammering at the pool each day, coupled with no accommodation to service drinks or food at the other pool location, make it impossible to spend the days at the pool. It was hot so this was a real pity. The first room we had smelled horribly of mold and had a major insect issue. The wall paint and carpet were dingy and patched up terribly. They changed our room, which I appreciated, however the steamer in the shower was broken. This was one thing my husband had always loved about the cottages. The rooms need some care, attention and maintenance. The most disappointing part of our stay was the constant closure of bars and restaurants for private events. We didn’t get to experience the speak easy, and the social hour bar was suddenly closed, the canoe club was closed- yet none of the staff seemed to know about the closures, so they sent us places only for us to find them locked up and closed to guests. So frustrating. We were sad to see the changes at the property but unfortunately the value just isn’t there for the price.

Beautiful property. Service was excellent. Room was a Lagoon Suite that was very nice. Bed was AWFUL. Like sleeping on a board. Pillows offered no support for head and neck. Overall Value? Did not meet expectations for the amount of money we spent.

The property and rooms are so stunning that this place felt like something out of a dream. There’s so much attention to detail and my girlfriends and I left feeling like we just spent the weekend at the most pampering summer camp in the world.

We stayed in a 1-bedroom cottage suite on the river. The cottage and view were lovely and we had deer outside our cottage a couple of evenings. The cottage included two bike which was nice to go get coffee and pastries at buzz in the mornings and then bike the trail around the property. Due to the heat and humidity especially in the afternoon and evening we called for golf cart service for dinner reservations. Food at all the places we tried (Octagon and Buffalo’s) was excellent as well as the ice cream shop and coffee place.

Lovely low country resort with so many great activities and amazing accommodations. Rooms at the large Inn or homes on the property provide lots of options for couples or larger groups. Every activity from bike riding, boating, archery, clay shooting, golf, tennis, horseback rides, and spa services - there is something for everyone!
