The resort and all staff were wonderful! Always clean. The room and beds were great. The smell of our room and just entering the resort, those smells were amazing! They have towels that you can get outside with your room key. They have beach chairs and umbrellas for the guests. Many places to walk to from the resort!
First time here and firt time going to a Sonesta property. This is a very clean and well- maintained property. The morning breakfast buffet is excellent. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. The swim up bar is huge and has a shade canopy that extends over the pool. The drink choices are great and are all reasonably priced. The pool itelf is immaculate and there are plenty of shade areas and lounge chairs. Staff are prompt and courteous. The room had a King bed. It was clean and up to date… The best time to come here is August through October as it is their low season. We are definitely coming back!
Had an amazing experience at this hotel! The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect — close to everything. I especially loved the pool and beach. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!
Beautiful room with view of the ocean. It is a beautiful property. The only negative thing is that the room floors didn't seem well vacuumed. There were crumbs from prior visitors.
Very nice ocean front resort with convenient beach access, friendly staff. Some food options in the property for vegetarians would have been great. There were none. That’s the only reason for 4 stars.
Beautiful resort with an awesome beach and pool. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Hotel staff is friendly and accommodating. Parking is available across the street, but you must pay for it. It is a bit confusing until you get the hang of it. Overall a great stay.
Truthfully, I could not be more pleased with my stay at the Royal Sonesta in PR! The staff were all absolutely wonderful and each always had a smile on their face and cared about me and how my vacation was going! The Location of the hotel was perfect, with plenty of options in walking distance to go out and eat and shop! The rooms are updated and beautiful, and VERY Clean! The Hotel pool has a swim up bar with the best and most friendly bar tenders! The pool was always clean! The beach behind the hotel is beautiful and the hotel even provides chairs and umbrellas for their guests! My stay was 100% and I will be back! Do yourself a favor and book this hotel!
5th time here.. love it convenient to the airport . Walkable area with plenty of restaurant choices a short taxi ride to old San Juan for even more dining choices and sightseeing.. the beach is right there at the back of the property it's very convenient bodega ,pharmacy fast food across the street .

Lush, tropical greenery, great outdoor bars and pools , first class property
Loved out stay at Royal Sonesta, the staff was incredibly nice, the pool and the beach were top notch, and the rooms were clean and modern. Definitely the place to stay in Isla Verde.
Average resort, a bit small but with a beach front. Customer service below average. I would recommend to stay close to the old town where have all the actions.
