Wonderful Weekend Getaway
Had a great weekend stay at the Sonesta Resort in Hilton Head! The staff was friendly and the renovated guest rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable! Even with the resort under construction, nothing was off limits and the beach access was incredible.
Would recommend, and just a note that first floor rooms tend to be for pets. This was not a problem for us but might be for future guests so if it is, book a higher floor!

We were not told construction was happening right outside our window. Drilling rumbling noise started early in the mornings and one day at 3AM, couldn’t sleep all night.
Also not enough staff at front desk. Most of the time nobody answered when I called guest services

Not worth the price. The service was poor, the beds uncomfortable, walls paper thin, and amenities were subpar.

Under construction. Not like photos.
The resort was under construction which was listed nowhere in the listing. The amenities were not all available and had we known as would have booked elsewhere. We passed up another comparable property based on false advertisement.

Construction impacts experience
Hotel under construction so many amenities weren’t available - fitness room; restaurant was limited; and constant construction noise. Best part was the maid service. Otherwise other staff seemed disconnected from their roles. Maybe the construction is getting to them too.
