This dedication to customer satisfaction was a great touch.” view full review

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Sonesta Resort in Hilton Head. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and I loved the convenience of the beach being just a short walk away. My room was spacious and very clean, making for a comfortable experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, though I found the dining prices a little high for what was offered. Overall, a fantastic family-friendly atmosphere with great activities for everyone, but just be mindful of dining costs.
