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!”

  • Amazing Property, Awesome Staff!

    “The overall property and staff deserve 5 stars. We ate on the property both nights, and the food was delicious. The hotel provides free bikes and we used them during our entire stay, such a cool way to get around the property. I would highly recommend The Montage at Palmetto Bluff.”

    “Overall great experience. Beautiful property. Lots to do. Nice accommodations. Recommendation for anyone going if they tell you that you were upgraded to a cottage turn it down. The room might be a little nicer, but the inconvenience of getting to the Inn wasn’t worth it. They have a terrible golf cart. Shuttle service, which they will tell you that they will come pick you up, but they never show up. We were very frustrated with this and annoyed when we had a dinner reservation and no one was there to pick us up even when we called 45 minutes in advance. Happened multiple times. Other than that golf course is beautiful. It’s a really neat place to visit and we would still recommend it.”

    “This place is absolutely gorgeous. My best friend got married here last weekend and it was incredible. From our arrival on the property, the service and hospitality was amazing as well as the views of the beautiful low country. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, gorgeous view of the lagoon from the porch. We felt very welcomed, taken care of, and overall blessed to stay in such a lovely place. HIGHLY recommend 🤍”

  • Great stay but lacking value

    8/10

    Nomad448629 · NONE · 2026-07-17

    “Great stay overall but did not see the value in terms of price point. Experienced a couple of small issues like waiting half hour for luggage pickup after three calls and delayed room cleaning one day to 4pm after we returned to the room already. Nothing was done to acknowledge the issues or otherwise. Activities such as e-bike tour and boat ride were great. Great expansive property with lots to explore.”

  • A perfect family vacation!

    “We rented a house through the Montage and had the benefits of the HOA amenities through renting that house (including the HOA pool). The house was very nicely decorated and fully stocked (except for cooking oil). Beds/pillows were luxe, so comfy. Searching for aligators in the river by our house was a fun activity all week. The Dolphin Cruise with Captain Gary was A++ (a must!) We also rented two golf carts and those worked perfectly with no issues. With the thunderstorms, there were lots of convenient umbrellas on property which was helpful. Hush (the Speakeasy on premises) is a gem! Buffalos was delicious and Buzz was a treat. We didn't get a chance to S'more at night - maybe next time! Pools were clean and nice tempuratures. All amenities were top notch!”

    “Going to the infamous Riverhouse pool which back in the day was perfect! Lack of detail is concerning, weeds underneath chairs. Pool need to be painted , water was cloudy and the smell in the bathroom of mold or gray water is intolerable. Certainly not five star”

  • Pick a different hotel !

    2/10

    “Was looking forward to a relaxing stay at a highly reviewed hotel and instead got poor service almost everywhere we turned . Nice front desk person promised us an upgrade with our Amex benefits and instead never got the room promised and took way longer to get it than he told us. Next sent us to one of the restaurants on campus and after 2 hours for lunch and none of our small lunch requests followed up finally left around 230pm after being there sucks 1230pm. Went back to the front desk where we were finally curtly given keys to a different room. This is all in the first 2.5 hours here. No time to explore the grounds because we were either waiting for our food or waiting for a room. At $800 a night this is barely motel 8! Service Pick Somewhere else to enjoy the low country”

  • Super-special, relaxing, quiet, with delicious food!

    “Really lovely escape -- we felt very pampered. The breeze, river view, and napping sofa on the screened porch of our cottage were so relaxing! Single-speed bikes make getting around easy. Quiet, luxurious, spacious, relaxing -- overall, an extremely lovely getaway.”

  • Beware of spa fees!

    8/10

    shannonsV6795OZ · Friends getaway · 2026-05-30

    “The grounds and hotel were absolutely beautiful. We stayed in a cottage on the property that was very well appointed. The restaurants had very good food, but very expensive. We all got massages/facials at the spa. Our massages were all good but VERY overpriced. I travel a good amount and am a massage therapist myself and this is the most expensive massage I’ve ever had- $250 for a basic one hour massage. I decided to pay this for the experience- the spa is well appointed with suana, steam, cold plunge and jacuzzi. The reason I didn’t give this a 5 star is the high price, yes, but they charge you a 22% automatic gratuity for spa services. Some of my friends gave their therapist a 20% + tip in cash after their treatment, only to see they were were charged another 22% at check out. When they told the desk person that they already paid gratuity, they said it was policy to still charge for gratuity. So many paid over $100 more than the already exorbitant $250 massage price. Buyer beware!!”

    “Love, love, loved it. I've stayed at the Montage in Laguna Beach once and Palmetto Bluff twice. Their resorts are unparalleled luxury. My most recent stay was at Palmetto Bluff. The staff is warm and accommodating and they do little things (at no charge) like creating a firepit to makes smores every night, warm cookies in the parlor and refreshing smoothies poolside that make the experience extra special.”
