“Do not use Sunset Rentals- Kicked out of our condo!”

Palmetto Dunes Resort

Save Review
2 of 5 stars

10 Apr 2008

We rented a condo for a week this March. The condo was nice and right on the beach. On Wednesday we saw a notice that indicated that we would need to vacate the condo from 8:00 am to 2:30 pm while they painted the outside floor of the condo. My husband felt ill in the morning so he did not want to go out. I went out to enjoy the sun but could not go back and forth into the condo due to the painting. When I contacted the rental agency they told me that they were not aware that the condo was being painted but that they were not at all responsible for the outside of the condo. They told me that I should contact the management. When I contacted management they were very rude and indicated that their only responsibility was to tell the owners. We were out of luck and had a miserable last day of our vacation. I returned at 2:30 to check on my husband only to get my new sandals covered in paint. I would not recommend the Sunset Rentals. Even if Sunset Rentals were not aware of the painting, they should have offered some compensation for our trouble. They obviously do not feel any responsibility toward the renters that pay for their service.

    • Disliked — Treated poorly by the Sunset Rental Agency and being kicked out of the condo with nowhere to turn.

This property is just average. Not bad walk to the beach from where we stayed. Next time I would stay at Hilton and not break my loyalty though.

I had a convention in Hilton Head and I am so glad that my colleagues and I chose a 3 bedroom beachfront villa at Palmetto Dunes. The place was gorgeous, perfectly decorated, and offered nice jacuzzi tubs, a walk-in closet, and a full bath in every bedroom. The entire villa was immaculate, spacious, and comfortable with beautiful views of the ocean. All 3 bedrooms faced the ocean. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at the Palmetto Dunes and hope to go back for vacation!

“Beware the Noise and Extra Fees”

Palmetto Dunes Resort

12 Oct 2004
33/41 found this review helpful

I just spent three nights at this resort and was very disappointed. First, the positive: the beach acees was great and the room was updated and comfortable. The negative: a 10% mandatory service fee every day; a $6.00 per day parking fee; a $7.00 per call charge (Direct Dial; AT&T Operator Dialed Business Day Rate +25%) fee on a two minute call to a business in Savannah; $27.00 per day fee to use two beach chairs and an umbrella. Overall, it cost me an incremental $50.00 in fees that I did not feel that were justified.
In addition, the Hilton actively solicits weddings and special events for their outdoor activities center. This meant that on Friday and Saturday night, I got blasted with music from a rap music DJ that loved encouraging the crowd to shout obscenities to the bride and groom. I had my door shut but the music still blasted into my room. I had no opportunity to use the patio deck and watch the sunset.
On Saturday and Sunday afternoon, I was subjected to Gomer and Goober a pickin and a grinning as the entertainment by the pool bar.
I went to the resort to relax and could not escape the unwanted interruptions. I would never go back to this hotel. Once I added up all of the extra fees, I could have procured a first class condo on the beach for the same amount of money. I felt like I was taken advantage of by Hilton.
