We are staying at the Barony Beach Club this spring. Does anyone know if the Marriotts on Hilton Head let you use other Marriott resorts (i.e. Grande Ocean) facilities?

Barony is currently redoing the garden side pool area. It should be very nice when completed.
I am not sure of their current completion date. I believe they expected to be finished this spring. They started a little later then they planned.
Depending on your dates this pool area may not be open.

Yes they do, at least Barony did. I was at Grande Ocean over Christmas and the wife booked into the spa at Barony. While she was there I wanted to use the gym and pool facilities and had no problem. Front desk even provided a key card. All they needed was confirmation I was staying at GO (key card from GO and an ID card. I also asked GO if they would do the same if it were the other way around and they said they would.
The spa at Barony doesn't surprise me because it's an independent vendor that's simply leasing the space - anybody can schedule spa treatments. But you being allowed to use the gym and pool is a surprise, considering that there are days when the GM doesn't even allow Day Passes for owners to be issued. I know the GO owners here are usually adamant that no one can use GO's facilities if they're not staying onsite. Maybe you just got lucky because it was a slow time of year?
I guess it just never hurts to ask either.

Perhaps they provided day use to a spa guest. Not sure if the spa owners have some type of arrangement with the property? With the price of spa services, I could that being included. Though my guess is you couldn't do it without paying for a spa service.
Agreed with the comment of preferring Barony's facilities.I'm just curious why you'd want to? In other words, is there something that GO offers that Barony doesn't? I actually like the pool better at Barony... Just my humble opinion.We are staying at the Barony Beach Club this spring.
