This resort says it offers a shuttle but what they fail to tell you is that its on their time schedule so if you don't have a car you either will have to rent a bike, walk or Uber it.
The food & drink prices are expensive for just average.
I would suggest doing a hotel downtown cause you'll save money considering this resort doesn't offer anything more than a hotel.
The adults only pool is located right by the kids pool & after 6 it becomes a family pool.

Excellent location. Rooms and spacious. We can’t wait to come back and see the newly updated pool and snack area.

Two things I could not understand:
1) why Sonesta has a room for accepting pets but have carpet on the floor instead of hardwwod or ceramic tile. We entered our room with a pee spot on carpet floor right at the entrance. We communicated that to reception but they found that to be normal. We didn't understand that. Well, we're not coming back.
2) How can Sonesta call itself "pet-friendly hotel"if they charged us $200.00 for pet fee for two nights (we found that to be ridiculous and they should not advertise themselves as pet friendly but only as "we accept pets" because the fee is 10 times higher at Sonesta than at Best Western.

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.

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!

Was overcharged on stay by several hundred $$ as manager agreed to change reservation to 2 day stay (from 3 days) due to poor experience. Tried calling 5 times to resolve and sent to on hold hell after talking with desk. No one will discuss bill. Won't respond to emails either. Experience was bad as it was overcrowded, under construction, hallways not air conditioned (hot) and just not relaxing at all. Room also not ready for paid early check-in and refund offered, but still charged. Something has changed in how they deal with people since my prior stay 5 years ago. There won't be another. Find better options.
