Guide to Shopping Local this Holiday Season

Important Information for Guests

Thank you for choosing Hilton Head Guest Services. Your vacation package is offered at significantly reduced rates through a special promotional program designed for qualified guests. These savings allow us to provide you with exceptional vacation experiences at a fraction of the regular retail cost.

If your qualifications have changed since purchasing your vacation package, or if you are unsure whether you currently meet the eligibility requirements, please contact our Customer Service team immediately at 1-800-363-5798. Guests who travel and do not meet the required qualifications will be responsible for paying the full retail rate of the stay.

We encourage you to contact Customer Service at any time prior to travel if you have questions regarding your eligibility, package details, or travel arrangements. To avoid being charged the full retail rate for your first night's stay, any changes affecting your eligibility or participation in the promotional program must be reported no later than four (4) days prior to your scheduled arrival date. Our team is happy to assist you and help ensure a smooth vacation experience.
