Attentive staff a big plus
Pros:

Hotel and location were very nice. Room and facilities were clean and well maintained. Food variety and quality could be better.

Cons:

Did have an issue with a rather large roach in our room. Not happy with guest marking their chairs at pools by placing towels long before coming to the pool.

I will definitely go back to this hotel. It will be great for my family vaction. Great layout.
Pros:

beautiful property , 3 pools with phenomenal servers, great food options, excellent service, super friendly staff clean beach. Our refrigerator wasn't working initially, and it was repaired in minutes by the most friendly and helpful hotel engineering guy. Very comfortable bedding, housekeeping staff was great.

Cons:

the adult pool was not clean 1st day leaves and debris floating around, 2nd day pool water just cloudy. It was not enough to deter me from swimming and enjoying myself thoroughly but for a luxury property like this, it was not expected.

This is what a great resort should be!
Pros:

From the staff to the rooms to the amenities to the food and beverage, nothing but great - repeat, great - things to say about this resort. This was our fourth year spending a week at the Omni and it continues to be amazing and at a service level that is exceptional.

Pros:

The Omni Hilton Head was a great spot for our family vacation. It was right on the beach and had gorgeous views. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable and had a little porch for us to sit on at night after putting our little one to bed. Our favorite part was the pool! There were three of them (one adults only) and they were heated- our daughter loved it. We were pleasantly surprised by how family friendly the hotel was! We definitely plan to go back for a longer stay so we can really enjoy everything the resort has to offer.

Cons:

I do wish the hotel had been more accessible to outside shops and restaurants. The resort does offer a shuttle but we didn’t bother using it since we had our baby with us. If you wanted to check anything out outside of the resort, you pretty much had to drive. I also wish the beach chairs were complimentary/first come first serve. You had to reserve them but both days we walked on the beach, most of them were empty.

Poor details and does not worth the money
Pros:

May look nice but all the details are handled poorly. garbage everywhere in the courtyard. Rooms were not thoroughly cleaned or rein stock the water or coffee. Restaurant utensils were not fully cleaned. checking-in or checking-out services lack professionalism, duplicated room charges showed on my card and unexpected food charges happened.

Skip It, not worth the cost
Pros:

Overall is was OK. Nothing amazing. Not for this price. The staff seem overworked and uninterested in caring about anything. Not the level of service of other Omni's we stay at. The hotel was very busy and not accomodating to our requests for check-in and check-out until we called on managers. Staff didn't have the correct info about amenities including car chargers. There is no signage to help you navigate the resort.

The maintenance crew was busy painting railing during very busy times on Friday and Saturday leading to people getting paint on them. Seems poorly planned. The friday night wedding info signs were still up on Sunday - poor attention to detail.

The common areas were sloppy, the pool was very dirty and I stepped on a large screw with a bolt attached in the pool. The breakfast dishes from the HH Prime were left on outside tables through 4pm and attracting bugs. The lobby water and tea were disgusting- bitter and old tasting. The food offerings were ok. It was very difficult to get a menu for the Buoy Bar and staff was ok not helpful. The Breeze bar was not open making people either depend on a very buy wait staff member or walk over to the Buoy bar to endure the useless staff who can't find a menu. Many people were unhappy with this. The hotel was packed with people and you have one outdoor area for food???

Our room was very nice. The grounds are nice, but need care.

My First Stay at an OMNI Did Not Disappoint
Pros:

This resort takes your experience very seriously. The grounds, common areas, pool, and gathering spaces are well-kept and maintained daily. The rooms are joined via corridors that are open-air, so even stepping out of your room reminds you that you're at the beach. The mattress, sofa, and all of the furniture felt supportive and comfortable. However, the best thing about this hotel was the staff. They are everywhere and they are genuinely friendly and cordial.

Gave Omni a shot
Pros:

Stay was fine until I was locked out of my room after paying for late checkout. Only words from front desk were "oh, you asked for late checkout?". No, I paid for it and went out of my way to double check with the front desk about it the night before. Still got locked out. Turned a nice stay and a new perspective on Omni into a negative. Will stick with brands that don't screw things up, especially things I paid for that I get for free at other places.

Good for Families, But Missing the Luxury Touches
Pros:

We stayed at the Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort and overall had a good experience—it just depends on what you’re looking for.

If you’re expecting a luxury, high-touch resort with poolside service and standout dining, this probably isn’t it. But if you want a family-friendly place right on the beach, it works well.

The rooms were a highlight—recently remodeled, spacious, and very cute (Serena & Lily coastal vibe). Ours had a kitchenette (but very small fridge) and double sinks, which made getting ready with kids much easier. Housekeeping came daily and was consistent.

The pool area felt a little outdated and not as clean as I expected. Food options on the property are limited—the market is great for grab-and-go breakfast, snacks, ice cream, and even pizza, but beyond that, you’ll likely want to leave the resort for meals. It was also surprising there’s no real beachfront dining option other than the pool bar.

For the beach setup, we’re used to resorts where chairs and umbrellas are already set up, and staff take you to your spot with towels ready—this did not have that. You can rent chairs through the city (more expensive, but they handle setup), or use the hotel’s chairs and carry/set them up yourself.

Service overall was fine, not especially warm or over-the-top, but the concierge out front was great. The gift shop was also a pleasant surprise—really cute and well curated.

Overall, it’s a clean, updated, easy beach stay for families—just go in knowing it leans more relaxed and practical than truly luxurious.
