Bacon County Vacations & Trips from $610

The property is lovely. Despite being told it was heated, the pool was not heated. (I did not find this out - until after checking the temperature with my hand, and asking the concierge/ front desk to turn up the temperature. Only then did they find out by calling maintenance that the pool heater was not working). There was no mention of when it would be fixed -if ever.

Clean, spacious rooms, nice pool and bar patio area.

Very spacious room with 2 king beds. One of the rooms was not ready when we arrived but thankfully the staff made arrangements for us.

Ocean Lodge Resort is in a good location and very close to the beach. A parking garage is available and nice. The restaurant and bar is only open in the evening on Wednesday through Saturday. The floors in our unit were dirty so we wore shoes during our stay. The patio was nice but the unit was dark. This didn’t feel like a resort.

We had such a great stay at Hampton Inn St. Simons Island! The hotel was super clean, quiet, and very family friendly. My daughter absolutely loved the pool and looked forward to breakfast every morning, which honestly made the trip even easier for us. The location was PERFECT. It felt tucked away and peaceful surrounded by all the beautiful old trees, so it had that relaxing secluded feel, but you were still right in the middle of everything. CVS was right beside the hotel so we walked over to it about a million times during the trip. Red Fern Village being right behind the hotel was another huge plus. Everything was such an easy walking distance, and one evening we could hear the live band playing while my daughter swam in the pool. It wasn’t loud or annoying at all, just the perfect little background music that honestly made the whole vibe feel even more relaxing. The front desk staff were so kind and helpful the entire stay. You can tell they genuinely care about guests having a good experience. They also had delicious fresh cookies in the lobby and complimentary bottled waters, which was such a nice touch after being out in the heat all day. The only downside was that I booked through Expedia, so I wasn’t able to use my Hilton member perks this time, but that was totally my fault and definitely not a dealbreaker. We already plan to come back again within the next few months!
