Quiet place close to the beach. Older resort but still very nice.

Great location. Condos are older but in great shape. Everything you need for a week stay. Pools are nice and close. Beach is a short 5 minute walk through locked gate, across the street. We would stay here again.

A quick walk to the beach and bike/walking paths everywhere. I couldnt have asked for better location. The units were a dated, but were functional for our purposes. Loved the 2 balconies!

We have stayed here for the past 5 years and absolutely love it here. Home away from home with the beautiful ocean and fantastic golf at the Shipyard. My family enjoys being here better than any other place.

We have been owners at Port OCall since 1993, and have always appreciated the excellent condo, great location, easy access to the beach, and the beauty of Shipyard.

This resort was very comfortable and only .3 miles away from the beach, an easy stroll. Two pools, one large, one small with plentiful shade. Shipyard is great for walking,, jogging, and family biking. Nice people everywhere in HHI.

We have been coming to this property as owners for 30 years with no issues and great experiences. This experience was muddied by rude customer service at the front desk. Erin spoke to both my wife and I separately and she was rude. She was terse and dismissive. I recommend she be in a non-customer interfacing role. She was terrible. We called to see about early check-In and then again when I deleted the entry code and needed help the day of check in. Both my wife and I left with a very poor taste for what seemed to be trivial issues/requests..

First night staying at port o call through rci timeshare- had a roach in the king bedroom, crawled on my husband and it was massive.Next day, round a small one in the living room. Had pest control come out two times.... Carpet and place smelt dingy and musty. Had them come out and steam clean carpets, they did the entire place in 15 minutes... aka not a very thorough job. Place is very outdated and we left half way through the week. I would never ever go back. Also, their codes that management gave us to get in to our room, the beach access gate and then possibly switch rooms when the roach incident happened... never worked. Not one of them worked. Why wouldn’t you know the access codes to your own rooms/beach access? Very inconvenient that we had to call every time for this. Get it together people.

Good location, older units. Didnt really like our 3rd floor condo. No view. Tiny balcony. Very LOUD AC unit running constantly. Elevator was over 100 degrees inside. Pool is mediocre. Okay for bikes and tennis. Would not stay here again.

Had a nice 2 bedroom timeshare on Hilton Head. Close to a lot of things. Unit large sleeps eight. Had 2 sofa beds, 1 king bed and 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds. 2 full bathrooms. There was a washer & dryer. Unit was very clean & well kept. I loved the outdoor patio. Nice pool area. Lots of walking, jogging and bike paths near by. There are bicycles for rent. Short walk to beach which was lovely. Beach was clean, Sandy and wide. A little bunny was sitting in middle of path. Even though early late February the path sides was a bloom with delightful flowering ground cover. We walked to the beach every day. We walked a lot of the paths. We especially like the walk along dune road. Loved the charm of the homes. Most of the island is very cookie cutter but these home so quaint yet so many large homes with amazing design. I got the feeling that being in the Shipyard area was good because of the beach. There are tennis courts and golf courses numerous. Lots of restaurants in area. Most people would use their car to get around. Most buildings and stores are cookie cutter, McDonalds and other fast foods are not their usual color nor is signage. We enjoyed our stay at Port OCall.

Nice sized suites. Included laundry and kitchen. I went with family and friends. Two of the three of us had to get new door codes before even getting into our suites since they didnt work. One of the two phones in my suite didnt work unless you jiggled the cable. The door the laundry in my suite was falling off the rails frequently. There was communal grills which was fantastic. The grates were well kept, but the side trays to hold platters were bent enough that not all kept plates from falling. Overall a good experience.

I stayed at the Port of Call last August 2017. The facility was decent, it has started to show signs of aging and though it is close to the beach, it isn’t as close as some of the reviews make it appear. If you are lugging a bunch of beach chairs and coolers, just be prepared for a little hike. My main reason for the 1 star rating is for the ownership company “Palmera Vacation Club”. If you agree to go to one of their presentations – typically if it sounds too good to be true, it definitely is with this company. I was totally misled and scammed by a Palmera sales team of “Rob the golfer”, and “Bill the Closing Agent” Timeshares are what they are, but if you have a good product in a good location they sell themselves. There is no need to lie and deceive about the product you are trying to sell, but that is totally the opposite of what I experienced. First, I was told the current timeshare I owned would sell, and worst case scenario would be turned back into my timeshare company at a wholesale price. It would leave me owing a little towards the new Palmera property if that happened, but that was a worst case scenario. Second, I was told with the level I was buying in at, I could come down every year anytime that I wanted as long as I gave a few weeks’ notice. I asked how was that possible (“Rob the golfer” stated that with 4 properties (Coral Sands, Island Links, Port O ’Call, and Coral Reef ) in H.H. they keep a certain amount reserved for members, so groups like RCI never see the inventory). Third, I was told that with my Palmera membership, I could cancel my current RCI membership because Palmera paid that for me, “it was included in my fees”. It is a good thing I kept paying my original RCI fees, because I would have lost all of my accrued points (but something in the back of my head told me to pay them one more time). So are we now on the same page with this review? Your sales team of “Rob the golfer”, and “Bill the Closing Agent” whether it was company practice or an individual team method totally (and you can choose the best word, “scammed”, “swindled”, “deceived”, “hoodwinked” or in simple terms misled me). I am sure that the paperwork I signed was totally legal, but what is to be determined is IF YOU WILL MAKE IT RIGHT… Or if you stand by the tactics of your sales team of “Rob the golfer”, and “Bill the Closing Agent”. If you take away my negative purchase experience with the company I would rate this property as average due to aging.

The private cottage I stayed in was very nice. There is a tennis club and a golf course as well. Beach access was a 5 minute walk and Coligny Plaza is about 20 minutes on foot. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here.

Enjoyed our week long vacation at Port Ocall. The condo had a full kitchen with everything we needed for the week. The beds were not very comfortable as they were hard, but this is a personal preference. Port o call is nice because they have the only private beach access in Port o call besides Sonesta.

Review №67

Port OCall was nice. We traveled there under our timeshare so I will not critique the resort on the 20 minute spiel where the concierge schmoozed us about things we should do/places we should eat. Its annoying though as one just wants to get settled already after a long road trip.The resort is widespread so it can be a challenge to find your way around the grounds. Suggest taking a walk around the area early to get your bearings straight. While the rain didnt play nicely, we rented bikes which was really helpful given that the beach, grocery store, basketball courts are far on foot, but so close via bike.The property was nice and well-maintained. Rooms are keyless entry so no one has to worry about misplacing keys. There are trash chutes in every building that made trash hauling simple since they do not clean rooms daily. One bad mark I must report is recycling, or the lack thereof. Naughty, naughty...Inside the unit was good. I think we were fortunate to have newer carpet which is always nice. Well-kept so that was a plus! All appliances and bedding we could want was available so that was a big score. A bad mark, but not a deal breaker, was the fact the top sockets of various outlets did not work. Just a nuisance.Pools were close and well-maintained. There is a beach that is about a 7 minute walk away that was not as crowded as Coligny Beach which is popular there. The Lazy River that is located at Coral Sands that id also the check-in facility. This was probably the coolest part about the property. Too bad we were only able to go once due to weather.The staff was courteous at check-in and the Activity Center. We did not interact with them outside of that except at the Lazy Rivers bar. She was nice, but it was so slow as there was only 1 bartender during Happy Hour. (I dont know if that is strategic or not. Works for the property, but not the customers who just want to have a drink and float in the Lazy River).I think thats it. Would love to go back if I didnt have 39 other states that I want to visit! Nice place!Oh, yeah. Check-out was so much of a breeze that we had to call and ask if there was anything they needed from us on the way out.

Tiny pool, why too far from the Beach. If you like golf you would probably enjoy it. It was also a disappointment to find out that golf carts are only allowed on the course but not in the resort. I shouldve done better research before booking, tried to council more than 30 days out and was informed that there is no cancellations allowed at Port O Call Resort.
