	<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">Just over the bridge from Hilton Head, SC is apparently the country&rsquo;s best hotel, the Inn at Palmetto Bluff.&nbsp; Some of the awards the Inn has earned are: 2012 Five Diamond rating from AAA (one of only 4 properties in South Carolina to receive this rating), Forbes Travel Guide Four Start Award for 2012, and last year the Inn at Palmetto Bluff was named one of the 500 best hotels in the world by Travel &amp; Leisure.&nbsp; </span></span></p>

	<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">Recently one of my&nbsp;friends stayed at Palmetto Bluff and below is her&nbsp;testimony.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p>
	<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">My husband and I stayed at the Inn at Palmetto Bluff back in December 2011, and it is absolutely beautiful.&nbsp; The Inn is situated on 22,000 acres, and gazes out over the May River.&nbsp; We stayed in one of the cottages overlooking the lagoon, and they are quite roomy with a large bedroom, private fireplace, beautiful bath, and a great screened in porch.&nbsp; The amenities are plentiful because they have a 3 mile waterway for fishing, canoeing, kayaking &amp;, biking, 2 tree houses, croquet, bocce, Jack Nicklaus golf course, and a beautiful pool area.&nbsp; </span></span></p>
<p>
	<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">As far as the restaurants, we dined at the General Store for lunch, the River House Restaurant for dinner, and Buffalo&rsquo;s for breakfast.&nbsp; I would say that 2 out of 3 are not bad.&nbsp; We were disappointed in our meal at the River House Restaurant and we actually thought the more casual menu offered in the bar and screened porch area was more appealing to us than the menu in the main restaurant.&nbsp; Hopefully as the Inn becomes more popular and well known, they will begin to offer a more extensive menu because we honestly thought the restaurants on Hilton Head such as Red Fish, Michael Anthony&rsquo;s, Sage Room, and Charlie&rsquo;s have better food and choice.&nbsp; </span></span></p>
<p>
	<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">Let&rsquo;s talk about the Spa.&nbsp; The Spa is incredible and something you definitely need to do if you are going to stay at the Inn at Palmetto Bluff.&nbsp; The staff is fabulous and the facilities are beautiful.&nbsp; It was a great experience!</span></span></p>
<p>
	<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">The Inn at Palmetto Bluff is managed by Auberge Resorts, enough said!!!!&nbsp; They only manage 6 facilities around the country and it is a true testament to the Low Country that Auberge agreed to come and run the Inn in Bluffton, SC.&nbsp; The staff, the ambience, the accommodations, activities, and the food make staying at the Inn at Palmetto Bluff a once in a lifetime experience!</span></span></p>]]></description><link>http://www.beckyherman.com/Blog/Inn-at-Palmetto-Bluff-named-Countrys-Best-Hotel</link><guid>http://www.beckyherman.com/Blog/Inn-at-Palmetto-Bluff-named-Countrys-Best-Hotel</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
