In early 2009 the esteemed Mobil Travel Guide honored the historic, family-owned Sea Island Resort with four Five-star awards.

The Cloister at Sea Island made Mobil Five-Star history when it garnered three of the awards for the hotel itself, its signature restaurant, the Georgian Room and the world-class Cloister Spa. In addition, The Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club maintained its Five-Star distinction for the eighth consecutive year.
