Tennis Courts Fun

The tennis courts were well-maintained and provided a fun and engaging atmosphere for my family and me. We enjoyed playing without feeling crowded, especially in the early morning. The outdoor setting made the experience even more good.

Dine with Delight

We had an really good dining experience at the on-site restaurant. The fresh seafood was exquisitely prepared, and the presentation was so appealing that it enhanced our meal. It quickly became a highlight of our stay!

My friends and I had a fantastic golf trip at Kiawah Island. The golf courses were truly exceptional, especially the Ocean Course. The dining experiences at Jasmine Porch were also memorable. However, our stay was slightly marred by some service inconsistencies, particularly during lunchtime, and the accommodations were a bit tight for our group. Overall, it was a solid experience worth considering for golf enthusiasts.

My recent stay at Kiawah Island Golf Resort was a mixed bag. While the staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience, my accommodations left quite a bit to be desired in terms of cleanliness. The golfing was exceptional, especially on the Ocean Course, but I found the dining options to be lacking in quality for the price. Overall, there's great potential for a fantastic stay, but housekeeping definitely needs improvement.

However, the cleanliness of the accommodations was inconsistent, which impacted our overall experience. The resort provided a great atmosphere for our group, but there were definitely some areas that need improvement.

If you're seeking a beautiful setting, it might be worth considering other accommodation options outside of the villas.
