I suppose Paris Hilton might find this beneath her standards of luxury, but we loved it. Yes it is a little dated, but the room was huge and impeccably clean. We had a very lovely little balcony with a partially obstructed view of the ocean and a very nice view of the beautiful courtyard bellow us. Our room also included a nicely appointed kitchenette, so we never had to go out for breakfast (or lunch for that matter).

Service was most friendly and professional - you had the feeling of being in a high end resort any time you had any interaction with staff. It was off season, so only one pool was operating, but it was gorgeous and spacious. The pool lounge chairs were lovely and comfy. the only complaint I had was that the hot tubs were quite a long walk from the pool - of course the walk itself was through part of the courtyard with very nice pools filled with fish and beautiful native flora - little signs even identified the fauna and flora, which was a nice touch if you like nature as I do.

The beach itself is hard packed making long walks along the ocean very easy, although in January, the wind can get quite strong. It's still very serene.

The only downside (and it seemed to us that this applies to most areas (Plantations) on Hilton Head is that you pretty much have to get in your car to get to a restaurant or store. There's no problem going for a nice walk either along the beach or along the roads inside the plantations, but you will not like ever see anything other than gorgeous homes, condos or hotels. Many guests also rent (or bring) bikes and this is a great way to get around, even on the beach. But a car is necessary for diner unless you eat at the hotel and in the case of HH Prime, the eatery on the property, it seemed quite high priced - Paris Hilton would not mind the expense, but it was too rich for my blood.
