This summer, the resort debuted a slate of new culinary experiences with redesigned spaces and refreshed menus.

Read on for my review of Sea Island.

Guest rooms, common areas, and restaurants completed renovations just before I arrived in September.

I recommend calling to confirm the availability of specific room types based on your needs before booking.

The Pool House also offers a limited menu of light bites.

Here, guests can sit under trees and listen to the calming sound of running water.

Family-friendly Offerings

Sea Island is certainly a kid-friendly resort.

Theres also a private airport, St. Simons Island Airport, located close to Sea Island.

The resort offers transportation between the hotels and beach club.
