Best of the Lowcountry. Food, staff and grounds never disappoint. It's top-notch all the way. A very relaxing, lovely vacation and the perfect place to recharge.
This weekend was my second visit to the Montage Palmetto. The first time was in February, where all I wanted to do was get a change of scenery from Charleston and do some cycling. That weekend was quiet and calm, and the cycling was superb.
This time - the Labor Day weekend - the weather was much warmer, the sunshine was bright, and all the pools were open. The water was refreshing, the bar nearby provided the necessary Negronis, and I was able to play 18 holes at the nearby May River course, complete with a caddie and a full walk.
We visited Buffalo's a few times for breakfast and dinner (the staff will golf cart you to and from the hotel) and once at Octagon, which is in the hotel itself.
Everything was perfect. I will come back, especially since it's just a 2 hour drive away, and with golfing that rivals - if not beats - Kiawah.
Thank you.

The hotel and grounds are immaculate and the staff are wonderful. We loved walking around exploring the surrounding area and the evening s’mores by the fire were a total hit. Would stay here again in a second.
The Montage is truly the most breathtaking destination in the Lowcountry. A fall stay here is especially magical—the setting feels whimsical, almost like being transported into a dream. From the stunning atmosphere to the exceptional food and drink, every detail is top-notch. Highly recommend.
Montage Palmetto Bluff delivers a rare kind of quiet luxury, where everything feels intentional yet completely unforced. The River View Cottage stands out in particular—peaceful, private, and surrounded by a natural beauty that immediately slows your pace. Mornings on the porch overlooking the water are especially memorable, with a stillness that’s hard to replicate anywhere else.
What truly elevates the experience is the service. The staff strikes that perfect balance of attentiveness without intrusion, anticipating needs before you even realize them. Every interaction feels genuine, not rehearsed, which adds to the overall sense of ease and comfort.
