The King & Prince Beach & Golf Resort

The view and pool were fantastic, and the beach had the softest sand. The hotel was gorgeous, in a fabulous location, and the front desk employees were really friendly. The beds sit pretty high, which could be tough for someone with mobility issues. There wasn’t a microwave in our room, and we couldn’t request one.

The food was great, and the rooms were okay, though they seemed a bit thrown together and had some stains and dirt. The bartender with dark slicked back hair wasn’t kind or attentive. My mom and I waited at the bar for 15 minutes, waving several times. He made eye contact but didn’t come over. When my mom finally got to ask for dinner menus and drinks, he basically waved us away and walked off. We only found out as we were leaving that he’d gone to the restroom.

The sunrise over the water was unforgettable, one of those moments that reminds you why you travel. The views are calming and expansive, just what you hope for on a coastal getaway. The King and Prince Beach Resort is a historic property, and that character shows in the rooms. You don’t come here for modern updates, but the charm makes up for that. Thoughtful service and comfortable amenities added to the experience. A lovely stay.

The pool and ocean access are perfect, and we love St Simon’s and will definitely return to the area. We won’t stay here again. We’re on day three now, and the elevator has broken. The first two days were disappointing too: no coffee maker in the room, no body wash in the bathroom, and stained, dirty carpet. We went to ask about the dinner reservation we’d made over a week earlier and were told we didn’t have one. They offered to get the manager, but we decided not to spend any more money here. This is an expensive hotel, and we didn’t mind paying over $400 a night, but I expected better.
