All the staff members are great, very friendly and their service is excellent. The access to the beach is not very nice. The floor halls to access the rooms was is bad condition, there was a door with access to a closet or room and it was not finished, giving a bad impression. The room was excellent, good size, good bed and amenities.

Sonesta is a favorite of ours. We go quite often due to its beach access, multiple pools and frendly staff. Very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

No wash cloths, but ample drying bath towels. I was a guest for 10 days and requested a wash cloth sized towel several times, only to receive hand size drying towels. Also, upon arrival, I requested my balcony door lock to be repaired, because it would not lock. It was addressed with maintenance, promptly. But when I asked about a wash towel, the young man at the front desk greeted me with the remark "you again". I was very disappointed. I had planned many months for this trip.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
It was the worst experience of choosing this hotel, I’ve been texting with them the day before my trip, they was asking what time I will make it there, when I get there at 10:00 pm, my room wasn’t ready on time and the bed was dirty so they had to changed my room three time until I get something better but small.
