Holiday Inn Express Saint Simons Island by IHG
"Loved the proximity to Neptune Park and downtown. The hotel is close to the road, yet it was VERY quiet at night. The only suggestion would be softer towels."

The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort
"This is my favorite property on SSI. Our room overlooked the pool and the ocean. They have excellent service, several pools overlooking the ocean, and beach access as well as a restaurant and bar inside. It's everything you need for a worry free vacation."

"This property calls itself a resort. There are no amenities apart from beach chairs. The photos on the web are a scam. There is NO management on the property. I feel totally taken in by false promises"
