The rooms were really cool each room had its own tv which I thought was a huge plus!! The tiles had cute little doggie prints on them. The staff was really nice and they even had the dog shadow up in front as a greeter! We only stayed one night but I wish we could have stayed longer it was awesome!!

We were fortunate enough to recieve a gift of a weekend at this resort. It far, far exceeded our high expectations. We used online checkin and simply walked in, got our key and a site map. Ten minutes after driving thru the gate, we were having a couple of cold ones on the deck of our villa! The villas are furnished in the style of a family cabin (well, upscale cabin). Our two BR villa was much larger than anticipated and had everything, I mean EVERYTHING that we needed. We never even started our car during a 3 day stay. I cook...alot. There was a nice selection of pots, pans, utensils (bottle opener, corkscrew, measuring spoons, etc.), plate, bowls, glasses, baking dishes...I could go on. We cooked several meals and never opened my "flyaway" knife set (sadly, I travel with my own knives when I anticipate cooking). The beds were premium bedding, the bathrooms nicely furnished with top quality sundry items and the whole place was super clean. The only glitch was that one of the jets of the jacuzzi tub was inop...hardly worth mentioning during our stay...we reported it when we checked out. The outdoor pool is heated to around 85 deg and the entire staff was courteous. Some of the activities are a bit pricey (the pizza and movie was $25, bicycle rental $20/day--much cheaper off site), but a family could have a great long weekend and never go off the island. We were gladly surprised to see the villas did not have a Disney theme, rather, they were just a nice place to spend a few days. We will definitely return, even if we spend our own $$$. I'm on the road quite a bit and know what level of excellence in simple tasks it takes to make such an impression on me....this resort was "over the top" in all areas. We had a great time!

We made our first visit to Hilton Head in October 2011. The Disney Resort there was great! We had a second floor studio which overlooked the marsh. So peaceful and quiet. The resort is located next to a marina with some wonderful restaurants and shops. All of them had outdoor dining, as well. It is a great place to walk around, also. The Resort is not located on a beach, but their beach is across the street and the resort has complimentary transportation to get you there. The beach is beautiful and Disney has their own pool and beach house there as well with restrooms and a counter service restaurant. Can't wait to go back!

First time in HHI and the location is very lush and beautiful. 2BR was huge. Style is rustic (and a little dark) but still good quality as you'd expect from Disney. Front desk lady checking us in was as friendly as can be. Everything seemed laid-back and it was a good place to just relax as opposed to rushing to sightsee. Beach House was also nice, but also low-key and quiet at this time of year.

People may be scared of the name "Disney" meaning too hectic/too corporate - don't worry, it's not at all. As others have mentioned, no real onsite (sit down) dining, but that isn't a problem assuming you have a car.
