Top Kiawah Island Hotel Reviews

Charleston Kiawah Island/Andell Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome breakfast spread…wasn’t interested in the mimosas but real nice touch! Very clean, well appointed room, friendly check in and beautiful common areas. Just so you know, we used to live right down the street from this establishment and were frequent visitors for their twice monthly jazz nights on thursdays…always excellent BTW, but obviously never stayed in the hotel proper …not disappointed and highly recommend…we will be back"

Kiawah Island Golf Resort - Villas

10/10 Excellent

"The property was absolutely amazing….the staff was incredible. The food was outstanding. The only thing to note that if you stay in a Villa on the grounds versus at the hotel/sanctuary, you don’t have access to the best pool on the beach and you have to pay for beach chairs- $20 a chair. But even given that, we cannot wait to go back. Perfect for families!"
