I wish I could give it more stars! The staff, from the house keepers to the concierge went above and beyond. They gave Ritz Carlton level customer service but at a much lower price tag. It’s been raining all day but they anticipated it and had an entire carnival themed event under a covered area with free face painting, movies, popcorn and games. And in the morning, they set out board games and coloring throughout the lobby so that us families with littles don’t go stir crazy inside. I was considering staying at the Omni or the Hilton, where we already accrue points, but I’m so glad we chose Sonesta! It truly is a 5 star experience that I’ve gotten at the JW, St Regis and other luxury brands. We signed up for the Sonesta club and plan to return next year. If you are deciding what the best place is for you and your family, it’s an easy choice in my opinion. Sonesta is the best!

Wonderful resort with friendly staff, perfect location, great beach access, and very very clean. The grounds were also immaculate with a gorgeous pool area.

We had a wonderful time at the Sonesta Resort in Hilton Head Island. The service at the check-in was excellent, Jerome was making us feel welcome instantly and the check-in process was fast and pleasant. We liked the resort area and the easy access to the beach. Check-out was easy and accommodating as well with Heather, the staff at the reception is outstanding! We really enjoyed our vacation at the Sonesta.

This place was paradise not just the resort but the whole island. We are empty nesters and this was basically a second honeymoon for us. I am a foodie, and the corn/crab fritters were the best I've ever had . I wish I'd gotten the name of the pool bartender who made me the pina colada she was great! The room was beautiful but I have to admit we didnt' spend much time in the room with all the things to do! We loved the driftwood bar too and we also liked watching all the kid activities although it made us miss our grandkids. The only thing that could have made it better (for my husband) was if he'd been able to fish in the lagoon hahaha but he did get some fishing done early on the beach before it got too crowded. This was our first trip to Hilton Head Island and we will be back at this resort, maybe with the whole family as there seems to be something for everyone. I loved the spa

From the moment I arrived, everything about my stay was exceptional. The staff were absolutely amazing – warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Their kindness and professionalism really made a difference and added a personal touch to the whole experience. The place itself is beautiful and very well maintained. It has a charming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed from the start. Every little detail was carefully taken care of, and it truly felt like a home away from home. I’m genuinely grateful for the way I was treated throughout my stay. Thank you to the entire team – you went above and beyond, and I really appreciate it. My whole experience was unforgettable, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

My wife and I had a very good time at the Sonesta Resort at Hilton head. Everybody was very polite and helpful. If you want to thank somebody at Sonesta it would be the lady at the Front desk who was so cooperative.
