The property itself was amazing. My warning to all who consider going is the hotel is having "renovations" which unfortunately meant that during the daytime hours there was a "jack hammering sound" that was VERY unpleasant. I can't believe that the Royal Sonesta charges $300 and don't warn you. "Renovations"in my mind does not mean construction!!!!!! very unethical.

Beautiful grounds, spent a lot of time just walking around. This hotel has a beautiful view of the ocean. I recommend an Ocean View room! Good restaurants nearby. Beds are comfy. The whole place was great, highly recommend it!

I booked for a partial ocean view room, but I got mostly pool view room and a slice of the lagoon's end view, and no ocean! I am really disappointed with this when I spend so much money for the room. I really want my money back seriously. Please respond to my view on this.

We really liked everything about the property but the room we stayed in had a few problems such as ants everywhere, the walls sweating from the air conditioner, and the bottom track for the sliding door leading to the balcony was defective causing pain and difficulty to open. The cleaning lady said she reported that a long time ago and still not fixed.
