Enjoyed my stay! Beautiful property. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Heated pool. Close to beach
My husband and I was on our 35th Anniversary. We had a wonderful time. Staff friendly, rooms very clean, pool area clean. We found our new favorite place. We will be back.
Great hotel! Easy beach access; pools were great, rooms clean and updated. Bike rentals right on the property. Our family had an excellent time here! Highly recommend!
Came here on our honeymoon 5 years ago and had a great experience. We have returned several times since.
The location is great. Coligny Plaza is close enough to bike to and yet far enough to feel secluded.
Nice restaurant. Nice heated pools.
The renovations/upgrades have been fantastic.
Highly recommend
This was our second time staying here. Our first experience was just ok. This one was great. The staff was welcoming and helpful and the grounds were well kept.
Highly recommend this property. Perfect experience from being greeted by the hotel porter, check-in process, restaurant and bar experiences to check-out. I hope to return sooner than later.
This was our second stay in 6 months and that should say everything. An all round great resort of the perfect size with immaculate grounds and great amenities. Great to have two heated pools and a large jacuzzi. Direct access to private beach is cherry on top.We love to stroll around the property, watch turtles, birds as well as play games around one of their fire pits late in the evening. They also have all kind of food options within the property. I don’t think we will stay anywhere else at Hilton Head.
Heather and all the other staff were so friendly and helpful! They made our staycation experience the absolute best! Thank you for spoiling us!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Sonesta is a nice old style beach resort. Our stay was pleasant, the location is very pretty. Front desk reception team was lovely! The breakfast buffet was nice, but the team needs more training on how to communicate with guests. I tried to seat out side with my kids and a waitress screamed at us out of now
Great facility for families. Most of the staff is very friendly and helpful but they just can’t or don’t know how to manage the volume efficiently enough which leads to very slow service most of the time. Still, good value for a very nice property with nice amenities.
The location and amenities of the Sonesta Resort are excellent! You could honestly stay and have the beach, pools, watch turtles, rent bikes and more without ever leaving. Food choices were ok but better options not too far away even by bike. Beach access and very low cost chair, umbrella rentals for the beach. Pools were good size and seating was extremely comfy. Biking and walking trails were serene and safe, well thought out. Highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.
