Good resort
Pros:

Great resort all in all and a wonderful pool. Very happy with the room and all in all a great stay.

The cats? 10/10

Cons:

The activities staff wasn't the best and the timeshare sales woman was very dishonest and I hadn't made it 10ft into the place before she hit me up. 10ft.

Pros:

Very clean. We stayed in build a K so it was a newer building.

Cons:

I was very upset that the main pool was not open the week we were there. We were never notified about a closing. There is a second pool, but it’s very small and the walk to it was not very pretty. You had to pass dumpsters etc.

Pros:

The Resort was close to Coligny beach & shopping/restaurant areas. Had great amenities.

Cons:

The bicyclists would be trying as you proceed to turn or go straight & its way too much traffic for that.

Beautiful Resort and Beautiful and New Condo Unit!
Pros:

This was a wonderful resort! My husband and I were in the K Building, Room 204, which is a 1-bedroom/1-bathroom unit with a full kitchen, living room, and balcony. This unit was recently constructed and very clean, fresh, and modern. The unit was also very quiet. The grounds were beautiful. There were many restaurants within walking distance, as well as the beach. We are Wyndham Timeshare owners, and booked through RCI's Extra Vacations. We could not have been happier with our stay at Coral Sands Resort! I did take a video of the unit and photos of the unit and resort area, which I will attempt to post.

Idea place to stay, close to everything, very good amenities and great staff.
Pros:

This was our second stay in 2 years at this resort and we will go back. The rooms are very nice, well maintained and clean. The main pool area is nicely laid out with a good sized pool with a walk in section, lazy river, hot tub, kids pool, splash pad, BBQ area, lounge area, bridge and pool bar. The 2nd pool area had a smaller pool with a covered siting circle in the pool, a covered hot tub, a serving area for guest use ideal for a group poolside meal. Coligny Beach is a few blocks away, as is the main shopping area. There are many bars and restaurants very close to the resort as well as a couple of grocery stores. We used the car once in each of our 3 week stays.

Coral Sands Resort
Pros:

The unit was clean and well-appointed. Location was good, with a 10-15 minute walk to the beach or to Coligny Plaza. The absolute only negative was the shower head with its restricted water flow and lack of adjustment.

Could Have Been Wonderful
Pros:

We travel often, but this was our first visit to Coral Sands Resort and to Hilton Head. We enjoyed Hilton Head, and we had hoped to enjoy Coral Sands, but the day after we arrived I accidentally banged my knee into the corner to the Wooden Box that held the bed mattress! I limped around the entire week with a very sore knee. I called the office about it, but they said all of the resorts in the area were like that, which I truly doubt. The box stuck out past the bed and covered all around the bed mattress on three sides. My husband stumped his toe on the wooden box that week, as well . I finally stuffed a pillow into each corner of the box and draped it over the corner to keep from running into the corners.
The kitchen window above the sink had blinds that would not lower all the way to the bottom of the window, so people could see into the apartment. I finally put paper bags in the window to block the view inside. None of the clocks in the place had the correct time.
The safe was inside the closet, but they put it right where you would hang your clothes, midway down the back wall of the closet, so you really could not use half of the closet.
They gave us no boxes of kleenex tissues, just a tiny bag that had a little personal pack in it. We had to find a store to buy tissues.
There was little room to store any food in the cabinets, so I just stacked our sacks of food on the table and counter and dug through them when I needed something.
The parking lot for our particular building did not have enough spaces for all of the vehicles, and one of the spaces to park had a wall of bricks about half way up beside the car, so that you could not open your car door if you parked there.
We were also told that if we wanted to visit the lighthouse, it would cost around $20, and if we went to their sales meeting, we could buy tickets for around $10 each for the lighthouse. We went on our own to the lighthouse. The price to the lighthouse is about $7.50 each. I did not get to climb it because of my injured knee. My husband climbed it for free because he is a veteran, and military veterans can climb for free.
The nicest things I can say about the resort is that it is near the beach and the carpet in our unit was clean.
I tried to download photos of the bed box and window, but my photos would not load on their site.

With the exception of people smoking outside our unit the resort was wonderful. Had a small issue with the refrigerator
Pros:

The unit was very large and roomy. So many drawers and large closet gave us a place to unpack everything. The bed and pillows were excellent.

Cons:

People smoking right outside our door and walking into smoke coming off the elevator.
