Booking via Expedia
The Sonesta Resort sits within Shipyard Plantation with Shipyard Golf Club on its doorstep and a driving range connected to the complex.
The property
340 rooms, AAA Four-Diamond rated. Beachfront access, two pools, a spa, five restaurants, and three bars. The dining variety means groups can eat well for several nights without repeating a venue.
What to expect
The on-site driving range is a detail worth flagging. You can warm up before a round or work on your game between rounds without leaving the property. Adjacency to Shipyard Golf Club makes the first tee effectively a walk from the hotel, so for golfers playing Shipyard multiple times the Sonesta eliminates virtually all logistics. Harbour Town, Atlantic Dunes, and the Palmetto Dunes courses are within easy driving range when you want to vary the rotation.
Rates and booking
$134 to $350 nightly, strong value for an AAA Four-Diamond beachfront property. The lower end of the range, available during off-peak and shoulder seasons, makes the Sonesta one of the more accessible upscale options on the island.
