Plus, the beach proximity of our rental was easy - less than a city block. The property easily housed my party of 7 as expected. There was ample hot water, the air conditioning worked well, the keyless entry operated as expected, the kitchen dishware and cookware were sufficient and most of the house was generally clean. A few things were merely irritating: - The sliding glass door that connects the master bedroom to the patio does not work. A physical effort and a noisy rocking motion will open it enough for a thin person to slide out sideways. Once I got this back closed we did not use it again; - The curtains on those sliding glass doors are very VERY sheer. Effectively they are see-through. Anything happening in that master bedroom is shared with any guests on the patio; - The black patio chairs are peeling some kind of substance -- possibly old paint. Whatever that stuff is, it's almost impossible to get it off your legs. One thing was grossly unacceptable: a non-working freezer. Imagine 7 days in the summer at an ~$8,000/week LUXURY rental with a non-working basic appliance! No advance warning. Infuriating is that fact that the owners KNEW this. I know that they knew because there is a small card on one of the kitchen walls, warning the renter that the freezer is slow to freeze after a new guest enters and that 24-48 hours ought to be given. Well, it did not freeze in the entire week. Spoiled food, zero ice, etc. An AI search suggested I ought to be due some compensation and per my description, suggested $150 to $400 per day depending on whether the owner provided an interim solution, such as a cooler with ice or a secondary freezer. After some email correspondence and conversations, the property manager (Demetrea Thomas) refunded $550. In total. She told me the owners had placed an auxiliary freezer in the kitchen (and apparently my party of SEVEN - none of us blind) all missed it for 7 days. When I disputed this absurd assertion, she promised to credit me more if she can verify that in fact there was no auxiliary freezer. I asked her for a photo of it. Dishonesty, rottenness and possibly criminal Well, Demetrea DID send me a photo. The photo showed a refrigerator/freezer combo standing right there in the dining room, beneath a light green wall tapestry. Thankfully, among the various pictures taken by my family was one showing that very wall with the green tapestry. It is quite apparent that there is no 5' tall stainless steel appliance standing there. I shared this with Demetrea on July 7. Not a peep from her and I presume I shall not. Not sure who is more rotten - the owners of 167 Mooring, the owners of Palmetto Dunes, or the property manager Demetrea Thomas.

There's a restaurant actually a couple of places to eat that are across the Laguna where you can walk to eat. This isn't a kid's only place either. Adults find it equally fun and enjoyable whether you'll be sitting in a hammock, swimming in the pool,doing a fitness walk around the property or watching the squirrels and birds.

Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort was the perfect stop. This year I planned for a two night stay at the property. We reserved a two bedroom unit with a magnificent view of the low country coastal marsh. Birds and assorted wild life are flying by, it can't get more picturesque from what I'm seeing from our private deck. *From September 8, 2025, through March 2026, Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort will undergo exterior maintenance.

Our room looks great, it seems like they first worked on all of the interior rooms. We just stayed at the Boardwalk Hotel, this two bedroom had the same contemporary feel.

Usually, we stay at our…read morefamily's home in Sea Pines Resort, but lately, we have been exploring other lodging options on the island to add variety to our visits. This August, when the weather tends to be quite warm, we decided to stay at the Sonesta Resort. Located in Hilton Head, South Carolina, the Sonesta Resort offers a range of appealing amenities, including isolated beach access, a zero-entry lagoon pool, multiple restaurants and bars, and a full-service spa. The resort also features a fitness center, organized daily activities like turtle feeding, and on-site bike rentals. The recently renovated guest rooms offer stunning ocean views. We chose the Sonesta Resort primarily because of these features. Since we were not keen on staying directly on the beach during the hot August days, the resort's other amenities provided the perfect alternative for comfort and entertainment. Our experience was positive; the rooms were comfortable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, we all enjoyed our stay at this hotel and appreciated the variety it added to our visit to Hilton Head Island.

We were originally planning to spend a three day weekend here. We spoke with someone at the hotel…read moreto arrange for our stay, when we spoke with this person he gave us two options since we had dogs. One was the basic suite on the first floor without any view, the other had a partial view of the ocean. We went with the partial view of the ocean though it was an additional 125 dollars a night. We are on VACAY, no biggie. So when we arrive, we get into our room after the Bellhop gets done slamming our things to the ground, tipped him, though probably shouldn't have. When we look outside our room, we see a big parking lot and not even a slightly partial view of any water other than the puddle in the parking lot from a previous rain. My wife goes down right away and says this isn't an upgrade, they first tell her, we were lucky to get a room, because they were overbooked (sounds like a you problem not an us problem doesn't it?). Then they proceed to tell her that it was an upgraded suite (I guess they don't realize we know how to use the internet, it was the most basic room and a Handicap room on top of it, we will get back to that debacle later). A few hours later, I go down to talk to the desk because I have just taken the dogs out for a walk and it was not very much fun walking in the parking lot, though they did have a few small grass islands which proved beneficial. I was also told that it was an upgraded room and that we should talk to a manager on checking out. I bring up the fact that after the stay if we complain, it does no good since we have implicitly agreed to the Terms and Conditions since we didn't leave and demand a refund immediately, he just smiles. After the first lovely night sleeping on a broken down mattress that is on a 3/4" piece of ply-wood that has a fabric wrap to allow for ease of use by people who are in wheelchairs. It is less comfortable than sleeping on the bathroom floor. I know this because our dogs get off the bed after about an hour and go sleep on the floor, something they never would do at our house with our plush Kings Down Mattress and Box Spring, we notify the desk we are checking out early. No problem. Then at checkout, the manager is amazingly not available though the check out host asks why we are leaving early, he then proceeds to tell us that we were not charged for an upgraded room (Again Bobo, we know how to use the internet, we paid an additional 125 dollars a night for an upgraded room). The only saving grace is that the beach which was about a half a mile walk for us, was a nice diversion for the dogs. Do not waste your money on this debacle of a "resort". No excuse for the lies we were told by the hostesses and hosts at the front desk, that is inexcusable to outright lie multiple times to your guests. Cheers, hope your visit to Hilton Head Island is better than ours.

This property is set up like a timeshare-style resort, with clusters of buildings, multiple pools, hot tubs, and direct beach access. The location itself is lovely, and the grounds are well maintained and very walkable. Every morning we took long walks through the property and along the beach, passing beautiful homes and neighboring resorts, which made for a really peaceful start to the day. We stayed in one of the newer buildings, and the two-bedroom, two-bath unit was spacious and very comfortable. It had everything you'd want for a longer stay--full kitchen, dishwasher, laundry, balcony, and covered parking in a secure garage. The beds were comfortable, the sheets were great, and I appreciated having a ceiling fan and a window that could open for fresh air. Those small touches matter when you're settling in for several days. The pool and hot tub areas were nice, especially at the building farther from the beach, which felt quieter and less crowded. The hot tub in particular was fantastic--large, hot, and with strong jets that did wonders for sore muscles after a day of walking. Being able to go from the hot tub straight into a cool pool was a real treat. Now, a realistic note: We visited during spring break, so the energy level was high and very family-oriented. Lots of kids, lots of noise--which is totally expected for a resort like this. I don't dislike kids at all, but if you're someone who prefers a quieter, adults-only vibe, just know this is very much a family destination. An adults-only pool would have been a welcome option. A few other observations that might help future guests: * The trolley system runs roughly 9-5, which is convenient for getting around the property. * Direct beach access is a big plus, but renting chairs and umbrellas can be pricey and requires online reservations. * Bike rentals are available but also on the expensive side. * Most amenities come with an added cost--nothing unusual for a resort, but worth planning for. Service-wise, the staff was responsive. They offer a text-to-concierge system, which is convenient. When I asked for certain items, they couldn't provide them directly but did offer housekeeping assistance, which I appreciated. As for the room itself, everything was clean and functional. The shower pressure could have been stronger, and the tub area looked like it had some recent caulking work, but nothing that affected the overall comfort of the stay. Bottom line: This is a solid, comfortable beach resort with good value for the space and amenities, especially for families or groups traveling together. It's not ultra-luxury, but it delivers exactly what it promises--a safe, well-maintained place to relax near the ocean. For me, the best part of the trip was simply being with friends, enjoying the beach, and having a comfortable home base to unwind. And if you plan to do a lot of walking or hiking around the property, take it from me--bring proper moisture-wicking socks. Your feet will thank you later.

No more yahoos running down first thing in the morning, claiming seven chairs, and then disappearing until late afternoon. They will actually clear the chairs of people who do that. I love it! The workout room is great. They have a good amount of both nautilus and free weights, plus a pair of Peloton bikes.

Troye, I remember checked us in he was very nice, and Ito from the splash pool bar was also very kind. I asked him if his piña colada mix had dairy and he said they only use a coconut based piña colada mix and I was very excited because then I could order a piña colada!! not many Marriott hotels have a coconut based mix. The pools on this property are very nice. They have one that is "" heated under an awning; but that one was indeed very chilly, which honestly was fine because it was very hot out. I believe this resort is dog friendly however you're not allowed to have any dogs on the deck because the deck gets really hot and it burns their little paw pads. Service dogs are allowed however they have to be in a vest. Unfortunately, I was unable to eat here; my dad and I were so busy we didn't get a chance. This hotel literally is right on the beach; I do not know if most of the rooms are point only room rooms and then some rooms are a hotel room rooms- but whenever I want to book this property, every single room is full. This hotel is directly on the beach. It only takes maybe 5 to 10 minutes from walking into the hotel through the mangroves to the actual beach. Definitely worth staying here. 10/10

Unfortunately, the AC issue in our room really put a damper on what was supposed to be a special trip. From the beginning, the air conditioning was not working properly. We made the hotel aware when we arrived and every day afterward. Maintenance came to the room, and we were repeatedly told it had been fixed or someone was coming to fix it. We could hear the fan running, but there was absolutely no air blowing from the vents. The room simply would not cool down. We tried to make it as easy as possible for them to fix it. Every time we left for the day, we told staff we were leaving and specifically asked for maintenance to come into the room while we were gone. We were told they would, so we would leave for hours expecting to come back to a nice, cool room. Unfortunately, we would return and the AC still wasn't working. Saturday was especially frustrating because there was a heat advisory and it was extremely hot outside. We were out all day touring Hilton Head and having a great time, thinking we would at least return to a cool room and relax. Instead, we came back to a room that felt almost the same temperature as outside. It wasn't just uncomfortable during the day. Going to bed hot and waking up hot was miserable. After being out all day, we couldn't come back and relax in a cool room. We were celebrating our anniversary, and dealing with this every night was exhausting. Sunday, we spent time on the beach in the heat, again hoping we would return to a cool room. Nothing had changed. By then, I was hot, exhausted, and completely frustrated. I had been patient and given them multiple opportunities to fix the problem, so I finally demanded a room change. Initially, they did not want to move us, but I insisted. We were finally moved after 4:00 p.m. Sunday--the day before checkout. Having to pack up and move rooms that late in our stay was extremely inconvenient. We shouldn't have had to get to that point after reporting the same issue every day. What makes this even more disappointing is the price. We paid over $350 per night, so I expected basic amenities--especially working AC--to be a given. During a heat advisory, functioning air conditioning is not a luxury. Unfortunately, this may not have been an isolated issue. As we were checking out Monday morning, another couple who had just checked in that morning came downstairs complaining that the AC in their room wasn't working either. That was very concerning to hear as we were leaving. The resort itself is beautiful, and the beachfront location is great. We enjoyed Hilton Head and appreciated the staff members who tried to assist us. However, the way this situation was handled was extremely disappointing. We were patient, reported the problem every day, allowed maintenance multiple opportunities to fix it, and even made the room available while we were out. Once it became clear the AC could not be fixed, we should have been offered another room much sooner. We will be escalating this issue to corporate and, if necessary, whoever else needs to be made aware of how this situation was handled. Paying over $350 a night for a room without functioning AC, especially during a heat advisory, is simply unacceptable. Beautiful property and great location, but the experience with the AC and the way our complaint was handled was extremely disappointing.
