Fripp Island Beach

This is an older hotel, however it is very well maintained and the rooms and baths are modern. It has a charming atmosphere and a beautiful court yard area with lots of seating. Each floor had a station with a coffee maker, ice, fresh fruit and bottled water for your convenience. The hotel is also centrally located. I would recommend the Emeline!

We arrived on a sat excited to sit by the pool and have a drink. We were quickly told by the hostess that we couldn’t sit in the open table areas without a reservation. It was near the fireplace and no one was sitting there. She was little help and was very rude. Poor first impression. We then continued to make our way to the pool bar to get a drink and the bartender was nearly as rude. Will not return for price we paid.

Upon arriving at the property we were quickly greeted by the bell hop who doubled as the valet. He was very polite & accommodating as my wife is currently in a wheelchair and he made sure she was able to safely enter the hotel. The front desk was extremely courteous, as well. The entire staff was very friendly and professional. They were all very well dressed and busy attending to the inner workings of the hotel, but would stop whatever they were doing to attend to the needs of the guests. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful ! We were quite amazed at the twelve foot ceilings in our room & throughout the hotel, the walls were adorned with a very classic golden damask wallpaper. It all flowed quite seamlessly. The Pennisula Grill was quite impressive, as well. In all fairness, it was a Friday night. With that being said, things had gotten off to a slow start & our waiter was quite busy and his demeanor was initially not overly welcoming. However, once dinner ensued, our dining experience quickly became one to be remembered. Their filet literally melts in your mouth. Everything was delicious ! Outside the restaurant, is a very relaxing courtyard, complete with tropical plants & fountains. Simply beautiful. The hotel is located right across from the mkt. and just above Rainbow Row. Very conveniently located for all this beautiful city has to offer ! Cannot recommend this hotel enough ! Will certainly stay here again Thank you to all who made this trip wonderful Stars: 5/5
