"Satisfied Guest"

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sonesta Resort. We were celebrating me winning Teacher of the year and my husband's birthday. Ms Heather (Manager), and Ms. Trina ( Guest Services), are the best. We had a few concerns and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. The resort is amazing; it's very clean, staff very friendly, amenities were everything we needed, Great food, and we loved bingo at the pool. We don't drink but we enjoyed the Mocktails!!! We are already planning our next visit. I plan to visit the spa!! Satisfied Guest, Mr. and Mrs Michael and Sharon Curry

"Spectacular Stay at the Sonesta Resort!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed May 31, 2025 NEW
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Sonesta Resort two weeks ago. The stay could not have been better! Wow! What a great time, from the beginning to the end of our trip! The Staff and Management were nothing less than amazing! Just a couple of shout outs to Heather, Charles, Jerome and Kevin. No need to worry about the renovations taking place either - it will not interfere with the stay at all - and they are expected to be completed very shortly. The overall grounds are truly spectacular! The landscaping is just beautiful! Tons of events to do as well - even the short walk to the ocean is so beautiful and so relaxing. Our room and the terrific view of the pool was also perfect - very , very, clean and so comfortable - plenty of towels as well! She and I just had such a relaxing time hanging out in the lobby - tons of areas to sit and relax - or just have a drink - or even a snack at the restaurant - the food is also amazing! In addition, the location of the Sonesta Resort is perfect - just minutes away from tons of restaurants and popular sites of Hilton Head. We would not even consider staying anywhere else when we return to Hilton Head - cannot wait till next year to return to the Sonesta!

Reviewed May 25, 2025 NEW
The bar is set really high in this area, but what set this place above the others is the customer service. Jason was an absolutely amazing human being and took care of my wife and I. He got to know us, remembered our drinks, was friendly, kind, and it was a pleasure getting to know him. If you stay at Sonesta, go find Jason and your trip will get 10x better!

"Look out for Jason!"

Reviewed May 25, 2025 NEW
We had the best experience! The service was amazing. It was under construction when we came, but still had a great time sitting by the fire. If you are sitting poolside look out for Jason. He was so attentive and sweet. We will miss him, but are planning on coming back just because of him. I highly recommend!
