We try to visit Hilton Head at least once a year and have been owners at Marriott Barony Beach Club in the "Gardens" section since 1999. We often go there during the months of April and May and the weather is absolutely PERFECT! We are big golfers and beach goers as well. The property is located on a pristine stretch of wide beach (chairs and umbrellas are available for rent). The villa rooms are very well appointed, immaculately clean, feature fully furnished kitchens (including that all important blender for cocktail hour!), DVD players, free wireless internet, whirlpool baths as well as showers and each villa has a balcony. There are gas grills available for those who would prefer to dine in. Pools are clean and well tended as are the hot tubs. The Ocean front pools are beehives of activity and also feature a poolbar while the Gardens pool offers a quieter, more peaceful spot for an afternoon snooze. Love this place!!

Living area had numerous snags in rug,black material under caulk and on ceiling in shower stall,workers left full shoeprint on tile floor after installing grout,toiletries consisted of 2 small soap squares and tiny shampoo per bathroom,chrome water line fixture in bath was more rust than chrome.This was more Econo Lodge that what we have come to expect from Marriott.We will not return.See important tip below!

This is a very nice property in a good spot on Hilton Head. It's a bit removed from the main action on the island, so might not be the best spot if you are looking for the night life, unless you are prepared to take a cab or have a D.D.

Otherwise, the property is great and well cared for. The units themselves are well equiped and very nice. Not all units have ocean views, but the views overlooking the gardens and pools are also very nice. Parking is convenient, there are elevators if you need them and there are lots of nice walking paths and trails, as with most places on Hilton Head. Grocery stores and other shopping are a 5 minute drive. There are no ice machines in the buildings, and if you want ice, you have to go to the store / restaurant and they may or may not make you pay for ice despite it not being otherwise available.

We stayed from 12/30/11 to 01/06/12. The resort was the nicest place I have ever traveled. The staff was superior. The amenities were excellent and there were daily activities for everyone. Myself, a 9 year old daughter, a 3 year old son, and two elderly grandparents made up our travel party. The indoor pool was as warm as bath water. I can not say enough about how wonderful this resort is. I found it lacking in nothing.
