Sea Island Resort

As a resort, Sea Island Cloisters is very nice. Rooms are large, clean, well equipped, modern, well decorated. Huge staff can be overly explanatory, about everything.

We went twice to Sea Island. Fantastic golf courses. Stayed at the less expensive Inn at Sea Island which was adequate. Restaurants at the resort were good but we had terrible wait staff service from the server Beverley at the Buffet Breakfast in The Oak Room. She was very rude and inattentive. Beverley voiced her complaint to us when she noticed that we did not leave her a tip. We explained that her service did not warrant a tip, and asked her to please let us finish our meal in peace. For the next 6 breakfasts, we had to request a different server, which was uncomfortable since Beverley was close by and gave us attitude. When we returned another year, we were disappointed to see that she was still there, and had to request a different server once again. Beverley was the worst server we h
