HHI at Thanksgiving - help a newbie?!

[wrighter]

I am SO excited that my family will be visiting HHI for the first time ever this Thanksgiving!!! I am doing my due diligence with regards to room requests, weather expectations, etc, but am wondering if there are any pros on here who are willing to share their experiences with this resort over the holiday? I am open to all comments and suggestions!

I do have one specific question: Will there be any restaurants open on Thanksgiving? We do not want to cook in the room and do not want a traditional turkey meal. I know, we're crazy. But we are truly escaping the madness and are going rogue! Lol. I have no idea how to even begin looking for that kind of thing? If I call the hotel directly would they have that information?

Can't even believe my good fortune in snagging this resort.

Thank you for any and all input here!

Since Hilton Head is a DVC only resort, you will get more responses to your questions if you pose this on the DVC Resorts thread.

OMG, Denise! Thank you for pointing this out to me! It's admittedly been awhile since I've spent time on the boards - I totally thought I posted this on the DVC thread.

Many, many thanks!

We stayed at HHI a few years ago over Thanksgiving and LOVED it! It was a bit cool so we did not go in the water much. We did see a huge pod of dolphins at the beach part that we still talk about! We ate out for the holiday and it was pretty good, not awesome. Many restaurants are open and I would recommend reservations. All of the activities on site were up and going...movies, campfires, fast food restaurants, store, paid activity trips etc. if you haven’t been it’s an amazing property that’s so relaxing and special even though it’s a bit touristy there.

Would recommend the Skill Creek Boat House. Love the area.
