Excellent location. Rooms and spacious. We can’t wait to come back and see the newly updated pool and snack area.

Two things I could not understand:
1) why Sonesta has a room for accepting pets but have carpet on the floor instead of hardwwod or ceramic tile. We entered our room with a pee spot on carpet floor right at the entrance. We communicated that to reception but they found that to be normal. We didn't understand that. Well, we're not coming back.
2) How can Sonesta call itself "pet-friendly hotel"if they charged us $200.00 for pet fee for two nights (we found that to be ridiculous and they should not advertise themselves as pet friendly but only as "we accept pets" because the fee is 10 times higher at Sonesta than at Best Western.

Was overcharged on stay by several hundred $$ as manager agreed to change reservation to 2 day stay (from 3 days) due to poor experience. Tried calling 5 times to resolve and sent to on hold hell after talking with desk. No one will discuss bill. Won't respond to emails either. Experience was bad as it was overcrowded, under construction, hallways not air conditioned (hot) and just not relaxing at all. Room also not ready for paid early check-in and refund offered, but still charged. Something has changed in how they deal with people since my prior stay 5 years ago. There won't be another. Find better options.

Annual girls trip! We usually pick different destinations every year but after staying here it's settled. We loved the pool, the lobby bar, the spa and the fact that we could rent bikes right there. The servers at the patio were so amazing we can't say enough!

First time to visit but we will be back as I proposed here on the beach, and she said yes! Everything was 5 stars in my book from the rooms to the Driftwood Bar and the staff especially Nikki at the bar. My girlfriend is afraid of turtles, but I really liked the turtles at the lagoon it was fun seeing the kids feeding them. We also rented bikes so it was convenient they were right there.

I would tell anyone considering this resort to go for it! I don't know how some of the people that wrote some of these reviews could've stayed at the same place we did. Yes there was construction going on where they were starting up the new pool but I tend to look at something like that as "wow! A second pool is being put in, how awesome is that!" The whole place just had room renovations last year and this year, all the restaurants and amenities were redone. Our room was beautiful and every single staff person we had dealings with was courteous and friendly. I think some folks out there just live to complain. We can't wait to come back next year!

We stayed for five nights and four days. For the price we paid for this beachfront resort with daily fees included, beach umbrellas and chairs, in addition to bikes, should absolutely be included. Instead, it’s $49 a day for a set of two chairs and one umbrella and $50 for one bike for one hour. The jacuzzi/hot tub by the relaxation pool is the same temperature as the pool itself. The beach is extremely crowded because several vacation rentals in the area all funnel to this one ***** of beach. One of the bars by the pool is still under renovation and closed. There was also a faulty smoke detector in the fitness center that caused the hotel fire alarm to trip twice within a 30-minute period, which was extremely disruptive. I ordered food poolside and my fries were cold by the time it got to me. Morning yoga by the beach was lovely and the rooms and bar are nice, but we could have paid the same amount for higher quality elsewhere and we do not plan to return.

Stayed for one night. Sonesta is a typical USA holiday resort, excellent location. Valet parking was a no show, improvements needed. Check in was very good, room was comfortable, overlooking the pool. Shop on site sells sandwiches, drinks, merchandise. Pool is quite small for the number of guests, very noisy. They were doing up the pool area, we were not informed about this, lots of banging going on. You can walk to the beach which is separate from the hotel, need to rent chairs and umbrella. Dinner and breakfast were very good.
