Fodor's Expert Review Kingston Resorts

This 145-acre ocean-side complex includes two hotels and two rental condo towers, as well as restaurants, shops, and a spa. The Embassy Suites has guest rooms with bleached-wood furnishings and kitchenettes, while the Hilton features more classic decor but no kitchen facilities. Although the privately owned villas are decorated to the tastes of their owners, they all have the same standard amenities such as sheets, towels, and kitchen equipment. The beachside sand-bottom pool and Splash! water park are among the Grand Strand's finest pool complexes.
