HOST HOTEL
KIAWAH ISLAND GOLF RESORT
KIAWAH ISLAND, SC
Please note: the WMA room block is currently full.
Please email us if you need a room. We will work with the hotel to request the nights to ensure you receive the best available rates.
Please refrain from reserving more than two rooms in our block without first requesting an exception from WMA. As you are aware, there is a very fine line in guesstimating the number of rooms that will be needed for our group. There is typically only a 10% buffer over or under. Falling short of our block puts WMA in financial liability and needing more rooms than we have blocked means some licensees may be stuck without a room or paying a higher rate. Ultimately, we want everyone who is able and interested in attending our meeting to be able to do so and to have a room at our negotiated hotel and rate.
To deter multiple, duplicate, and “what if” bookings and so WMA can best allocate our room block allotment, WMA reserves the right to notify the licensee and move any rooms in our block to the regular rack rate IF we are short of rooms and IF there is not an associated event registration.
