We stayed at Sonesta Hilton Head Island for three nights. The beach was the purpose of our trip, but we also enjoyed the beautiful pools, hot-hot tub, perfectly prepared dinner and buffet breakfast at the restaurant, specialty drinks at the bar and pool-side cafe and bought some nice items in the gift shop. The location allowed us to also visit family on the island and enjoy some local shopping. T...

Pros (+) Room was good and clean, on par with the Marriott properties (Courtyard, Fairfield, Springhill, etc) we normally stay at. We didn't make much use of the resort amenities, but the grounds were well-kept.

Pros (+) Well decorated.
Cons (-) Cleaning staff was consistently disappointing. Once they took our towels and forgot to give us any new towels and once the room looked barely touched. Everyday they were bad about coming before 8 am and coming back during the four hour Windows we provided.

Pros (+) The resort is in the Shipyard Community (gated with security and includes golf courses and the Van Der Meer Tennis Center) and has direct beach access. The rooms were newly renovated and the grounds were immaculate. The staff was top-notch--very helpful and professional from the check-in clerks to the cleaning staff.
Cons (-) We were surprised when our parking lot view room was actually a view of the roof of part of the resort. Not a huge problem, but still... Also, the beach entrance for the resort is connected to the beach club access for the larger Shipyard communnity. This was only a problem because the beach area just outside the resort tended to be quite crowded. However, everyone was nice and we had a great time...

Pros (+) The rooms were very modern, friendly front desk, large variety of food at buffet. All you can eat, with band duo.
Cons (-) The Easter buffet check was a surprise, did not get a price or menu beforehand. Check was $115.00 buffet dinner for two, +$15.00 tip for great service, and we did not order extra items. Total for Sonesta Seacrest Easter Buffett for two was $130.00!!! Wow!! Will return, but call for price of buffet first ;)
