The Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort is at 23 Ocean Lane, on the beach in Palmetto Dunes. It is one of the island’s largest resorts and the one many people mean when they say Omni Hilton Head. The rooms have been remodeled, and guests tend to say the buildings are older but well kept.

It is not a stay you need a car for. The beach is at the back door, the pools are between the two, and the other Palmetto Dunes hotels and the restaurants are a short drive.

Rooms and Suites at the Omni

Standard rooms have a king or two queens, and the suites add a sleeper sofa, a balcony and a kitchenette, which suits families who want to keep breakfast and snacks in the room. Ocean-view rooms cost more than garden-side rooms, so price both for your dates.

Pools and the Beach

There are three ocean-view pools: an adult pool, two family pools and a children’s splash pad, plus two hot tubs and cabanas you can rent. Guests say that even when the resort is busy there is somewhere to sit. The beach access is direct.

Restaurants and Bars at the Omni

Dining on site comes to five outlets: two full-service restaurants, a grab-and-go market and two pool bars. HH Prime is the signature restaurant, with Southern dishes and fresh seasonal fare, and Buoy Bar by the pool does shrimp tacos, burgers and salads. Hours and menus change by season, so check the Omni’s site before you plan a dinner.

Weddings at the Omni

The resort hosts beachfront weddings and receptions, and the weddings page compares it with the island’s other venues.
