Top Shelter Cove Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island

10/10 Excellent

"The manager Venessa saved the day and our experience. Can’t say enough on how professional she was. We checked in and loved the room we had. Got a text from hotel stating there was A/C problems in that areas of the hotel. I will say that the front desk needs to be a little more curious about a guest wanting the same quality of room they originally booked when something like that happens. When we finally got to speak with the manager she got us in a great room and we stayed in that room for the remainder of the trip. Maid service was great. They were very helpful with anything you need. Room got a little warm for my taste and they immediately sent up a fan for us. Food from outside bar was perfect for the beach. Only complaint that I’ve seen other people comment on is the fact that the beach chairs that you can rent are set back and you consistently have people putting up tents and things in front of you. Blocking your view. But I’m guessing there is nothing that can be done about that. We will sure be visiting there again."
