Hotel was beautiful. Staff members were friendly. Parking lot was large, but still had trouble finding a space when we would come in late at night, but parking attendant was helpful and allowed me to park on the curb until morning. More

We just checked-out of the Sonesta Resort on HHI as we attended a Wedding for the weekend. Upon arrival I noticed some red flags as the exterior looked dated. Let me state I work in Hospitality with many years working for Disney. Entering the Lobby seemed OK, Clean and just OK no WOW factor. The young man at the F/D... More

Booked this former Crowne Plaza on Priceline for a Thursday night. We were greeted pleasantly by the front desk and given a fourth floor (out of five) room with a balcony facing the well kept gardens with a peek at the ocean. Some of the glory has faded, as the sunny yellow room has the same decor it did when... More

This property just underwent a name change from Crown plaza to Sonesta Resort. It is a beauiful slice of heaven with beautiful grounds, pool, and beach access. Rent bikes and go explore. The hotel rooms could use some updating but they were clean and the staff was always accomodating. More

My family and I visited the Crown Plaza , again, during the first week of april. Everything was in excellent order. The weather was warm and the beach looked as if were july, people everywhere. And as always the hotel accommodations were absolutely top notch. As I write this, I understand, that the crown plaza is being taken over by... More

We enjoyed our stay at this resort. The grounds were so beautiful and relaxing. You have to rent bikes and ride them on the beach and also around the resort. We had such a good time. We wish we had been able to stay longer. Our room was clean and we had no issues. The breakfast buffet at the resort... More

This is a truly wonderful hotel. The location is great - right near the beach in Shipyard Plantation. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The pool and surrounding grounds are very beautiful. I spent a few afternoons in a hammock with my kindle, just listening to the waves crash nearby! While the rooms aren't modern, the hotel is very... More
