Rooms is dingy, needs upgrades and cleaning. The ocean restaurant is completely closed and that created an eye sore as well as an inconvenience. We were not informed the restaurant was demolished and the area fenced

High on the eighth w
The stay was pretty good the first night we came back to the room and our door batteries were dead and had to wait to get in that was a hassle Every time we went to our room the hallway smelled like marijuana the second day it smelled so bad we could smell it in our room I complained they said they were going to investigate but I never saw anyone come up to investigate

Weekend getaway
This hotel is central to many key areas and well situated. It is clean, quiet, safe and secure. The staff go out of their way to help you feel at home. Internet is stable. The food at the poolside was fun. You have to try the chicken wings and Tamarind drink. The lobby had a nice aroma to it.

The hotel was beautiful, but the first room I checked into had a food tray sitting on the refrigerator. I was then moved to another room on the same floor and it was cleaner, I removed the pillow to sit o the chair and found a room key hold from the previous day. That made me question the cleanliness of the room, so I cleaned the room myself.

Overpriced for what you get. The rooms are old and dirty. The service is very slow, overpriced and poor. The food is the worst. The Fairmount is a much better hotel and 1 min away.

4/10 Fair

Stayed at the sonesta for 7 days and 6 nights. The first night we arrived we were issued an unclean room. Towels with hair in them, hair balls around the bed and also a stain in the shower that resembled a tampon and string. I was so tired and frustrated I did not ask for a different room. I let the front desk know and nothing was done. No money off or apologies. I confirmed the room was not cleaned because after the first night, housekeeping came and the stain in the shower had disappeared, but the hair around the bed was still there. Fast forward to the last 2 nights of my stay my entire body is covered in bed bug bites!!!!! I can’t stop itching and scratching! Differently will be staying elsewhere if I decide to come back to PR. The experience for the price was not worth it. I was disappointed that this is what my birthday trip consisted of. Also they said they did not have laundry services which was super inconvenient since we stayed for 7 days.

Beautiful property. Great staff especially our room attendant Hilton!! Food and drinks were very expensive at the hotel but it was nice to have wait staff working the pool and beach area. The billing statement was very confusing with the resort fee and the $100. Fee charged to your room each day. I had asked to have my bill split between 2 credit cards and that wasn’t done correctly. That was my only complaint.
