Are you looking for the ultimate southern escape? Our TWIL Travel Advisor, Stephanie Goldstein, recently returned from a stay at the Montage Palmetto Bluff and had a fabulous time with her family! This property is found on a 20,000-acre community located along the picturesque May River in South Carolina’s Low country and offers many activities for couples and families.

First Impressions

Upon entering the resort, it resembles a southern fairy tale. The drive up to the hotel is very scenic with southern oak trees lining the road.

A fun activity for kids is the Montage Merit Program which is a scavenger hunt, kids receive a lanyard when they arrive and if they complete an item on the list they go to the concierge and get a badge and if they complete the entire program they will go home with a special prize.

Rooms

This resort offers a variety of accommodations for every type of guest. The inn rooms and guest house rooms are best for couples and small families. Most offer a king bed or two queen beds with a marble bathroom and a furnished balcony with lagoon or forest views. As well, they offer montage residences, cottages and village homes that are great for large families since most are equipped with large bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces.

Offers a breakfast buffet as well as a full menu. They also serve local fare for dinner and have upscale bar food.
