Loved by Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island guests
"The pool was fun with a lot of palm trees for some shade."
"Loved the multiple restaurants and poolside offerings, the kid friendly pool, bar staff was very nice."
"Sonesta also gave you free beach chairs and a choice of 3 restraunts and a cafe and a gelato shop."
"The beach is just over the sand dune and when you return, there are several showers to help wash away the sand before going back to your room."
“Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island impresses with its recent renovations, placing it among the most visually appealing options. Beach access is a highlight, while surprisingly good dining options mean you don't have to leave the property. I especially appreciate the resort's dog-friendly policy and the activities geared towards families.”
