Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Reviews
Pros:
The Sonesta Hilton Head Resort continues to get high reviews from guests on TripAdvisor. It is also consistently in the top 10 list of preferred hotels in Hilton Head. Most guests feel that the Sonesta Resort is a wonderful place to stay with a great beach setting, friendly staff, and easy access to the Beach. The grounds are amazing. Comfortable seating throughout with cushioned sofas and chairs on bridges and loved the hammocks under the amazing trees in the gardens. Such a relaxing experience. The beds were comfortable and the live music by the pool was fun. The kids enjoyed the pool and the beach.
Cons:
There are not a lot of negative reviews but there are always areas that can be improved. The pools close at 8 pm which is before the sun goes down in the height of the summer. There is a shuttle to take you to Coligny Plaza but it stops running at 8 pm even though most of the shops stay open until 9 or 10. If you visit during the peak seasons, the pool area can get a little crowded for the number of guests that stay at the Sonesta Resort.
