Staff is very friendly. The pool is nice and the beach is beautiful. Breakfast is overpriced. The rooms are not very clean and everything (including the room carpet) feels wet and smells musty. We arrived at 11:30 pm and still had to pay the resort fee for that day. The area does not have many restaurant options within walking distance.

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.

The Royal Sonesta is a lovely hotel with fantastic staff throughout. The pool area is clean with nice chairs and umbrellas and great swim up bar. The hot tub is huge and clean as well. Inside, everything is sparkling and looks like it has been recently redecorated. Our room looked out over the pool to the ocean, giving us nice sunset viewing, a comfortable bed and sitting area. One thing I think they could do better is get a handle on the humidity inside the rooms. While everywhere was well air-conditioned and clean, our room had a slightly damp musty smell and probably needed an industrial dehumidifier for a day or two. I know you can't control humidity on a tropical island but nothing would dry in the room, even in over 24 hours.
