Top The Sandbox Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I usually stay at the Sleep Inn when I travel next, this time I made reservations with the Holiday Inn Express and was very impressed.. The breakfast the next morning was excellent. When I come back I will stay there again.."

Beach House Resort Hilton Head

10/10 Excellent

"The beach was spectacular! Walk right from your room! But also the pool was lovely, spent so much time there. No need to leave the resort, everything we needed. Al’s had the best iced coffee we have ever had, The Porch makes a divine breakfast, we will remember the biscuits for the rest of our lives! The staff is so kind and helpful. Above and beyond in every single interaction! We felt welcomed and appreciated. We did not want to leave! But we will be back!"

Palmera Inn and Suites

Spark By Hilton Hilton Head Island

"It’s a newly renovated property so it looks great inside. Beds very comfy. We’d stay here again if we’re back in HH."

Doubletree by Hilton Hilton Head Island

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and modern. C onvenient walk to the beach, It was nice sitting at the bar and having a meal and then being able to go up to my room. I love the location and everything about it. Will definitely be booking here again when I come back for work in a week. week."

31 Ocean Club - Oceanfront Complex, all one level & just steps to the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"10/10! Everything was superb!"

Players Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I’m hesitant to write this because I would love for this place to remain a secret but I couldn’t do it. Here is my 100% honest opinion. This place is incredible! The price was so low I almost didn’t book but went with my gut and boy was I pleased. The room was cheaper than the double tree by 30 bucks per night and it came with 2 bedrooms, full kitchen, living room, 2 bathrooms and a Sauna. A private in the unit sauna. Unreal. The living room and master bedroom had their own unattached balconies over looking the beautiful pond. The pond is full of life including giant carp, turtle’s and gators! We stayed out on the balcony for a couple hours watching the gators swim. Fun with just sitting no phone or tv screens, just enjoying the nature in the backyard. It’s less than 1 mile from cologne circle, seriously prime real estate less than a mile from the entrance to sea pines too. The reviews people left about it being dated are true but that didn’t bother us 1 but because it’s nice l, clean and comfortable. Some people will hate on anything and everything, so if you are one of them then don’t bother. If you want space to spread out and enjoy quality time with you family and friends i highly recommend suggest you book a room here! 5 of 5 stars for the staff so friendly. This was my first visit to the south and the staff really embodies that southern hospitality. Thank you for a great stay!"

Immaculate condo. and is Direct Oceanfront - 2nd floor. Breathtaking Views.

"We were able to stay at your beautiful property for a week Don and we had such a great time!!! There are so many restaurants and shops right there in walking distance that unless you want to go somewhere special…… you don’t even have to move your car!!!! We went out about 3 times one of those was for our 56th anniversary so we went to Cranes Tavern & Grill it was great! The last night we went to the old Oyster Factory and sat right on the water it was great too!! All in all it was an awesome anniversary trip!! Thank you Don for sharing your beautiful property with us!!Gary & Kathy Green"
