This was our first time to Hilton Head Island. We had 4 adults and 2 kids in a 2 bedroom suite. It was plenty large enough and had everything we needed in the rooms. We overlooked the Dolphin Pool on the 1st floor so we had a nice view of the pool. We asked for an Ocean view but they... More

Have stayed here twice and both times it was a wonderful stay. Amenities are wonderful. Beds are heavenly. Only downside is price per night is around $400. Grounds are well maintained. Bike rentals are on property.

We stayed the week of 4/20/13 in the Sand Castle building, which is one of the best buildings as it is oceanfront. We really enjoyed the stay, but the timeshare was a gift to us, so I only gave it 4 stars as I would have felt differently if I had to pay such a hefty nightly fee! It was... More

We spent 6 days at the Marriott Grande Ocean during the first week of April/2013. Let me start by saying this is an absolute gorgeous property, very well kept grounds and well maintained units. We had a 2BDR view of the gardens and it was very nice! They have several pools on the large property with at least one of... More

Loved loved loved the Grande Ocean. Our two bed suite was amazing, clean, spacious, fully equipped, great view of the pool, fabulous bath tub ... I could live in it :) We swam in the pool by Jim's Pool Bar. The pools are not heated but it wasn't unpleasant once you were in. The hotel is right by the ocean... More

We have been owners here since 1996 and this place continues to be the best resort on the island. The staff here is well trained and focused on service. We love it here and will continue to visit every year. Pool Bar Jim's bar is a real asset!

If you look at the hotel reviews for Hilton Head Island, you should not be surprised that the top ones are Marriott properties. Marriott purchased the best locations, built and designed them very well, and have managed and maintained them to very high standards. Their customer service is the best! Other things I like about the Grande Ocean: you get... More

Great location near Sea Pines, Shipyard and Coligny shopping. The two bedroom layout is very large, perfect for four. The weather, late April is a pleasant mix of warm during the day and cool at night. Dining on the property is limited to lunch but there are many great restaurants nearby. We were hare RBC Heritage week.
