Ideal property and location for a quick girlfriends get away. Grounds are gorgeous pools and hot tub clean and pretty. Beach is stunning and on the property. Restaurants are good and the bars are excellent. Rooms are spacious full of storage options clean,comfortable and quiet. We had ocean view and it was beautiful. Balcony is too tiny to sit on but you could stand on it. Minutes from the airport yet very quiet. Staff without exception are wonderful, especially Nestor the concierge. Already planning our return. Very very happy guests.

At our recent stay at royal sonesta. Loved the ocean side view. The convenience of being so close to the beach. The staff especially Effrain was very kind. We did reserve a vip beach cabana until pool closed. The only complaint we had. Was having to tell people it was reserved. We took a walk on the beach to come back to a family laying in our payed spot. Which they said , were told by staff , we hadn't been seen for a lil while so it was ok to be there. Other than that we had a wonderful stay.
