Fodor's Expert Review Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island

Set in a luxuriant garden that always seems to be in full bloom, the Sonesta Resort is the centerpiece of the Shipyard private community, which means guests have access to its amenities, such as golf and tennis. Inside, Sonesta has an elegant lobby with towering windows that let in lots of natural light. Outside, guests can swim in the zero-entry pool, stroll across a latticed bridge that crosses lagoons, or relax at the beach pavilion that has seen many an island wedding. The family-friendly resort also has a supervised kids club.
