Food is extremely overpriced. Someone spent $8 on a small 10 oz bottle of ginger ale. They sell a 20oz bottle for $1.89 literally across the street and a block away.
A tasty but very watery soup that was supposed to have chicken and noodles barely had anything in it but alot of water; it cost almost $50 w/tip for 2 oversized cups. No crackers or bread even. Aside from this everything was comfortable, family liked the pool and beach. Regular rates are very high but discounted price was worth it. Pleasant stay overall.

Overall was a good experience, friendly staff, close to the beach and a lot of dining options at the hotel and surrounding area. My only issues were the in room coffee machine wouldn't work and air condition wouldn't get as cold as we would like.

This hotel was very nice and looked recently refurbished or new. Room was excellent and dining was delicious. Restaurants were pricey and the resort fee was very high, but it did have nice amenities like towels, umbrellas, and beach chairs. Some staff were not overly friendly, but everyone was polite.

The room we were given wasn't properly cleaned before we arrived, there were coffee stains all over the coffee table. The towels in our bathroom were damaged with holes in them and this is a place that's averaging around $400 a night. There is no excuse for a place that charges this type of price and have torn towels not once but on multiple nights even after they clean the room and replaced dirty towels with new ones.
The worst part of this hotels experience is the lack of response when trying to reach the front desk from the room phone. The receptionist line is always busy and prompts callers to leave a voice mail every time we tried to call down stairs and this wasn't once or twice this was the case over 12 times that we tried to reach someone over multiple days.
Zero sense of urgency and it isn't acceptable even Motel 8 have someone answering their phone.

We had a wonderful stay at The Royal Sonesta during Memorial Day Weekend. The rooms are large and spacious, a bit outdated but everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Staff was exceptional. Pool and beach area were wonderful as well. Only downside was that we were not able to get a late checkout.

I went there to celebrate my birthday and couldn't have selected a better spot to stay. The entire staff went above and beyond to make my stay there special. I wish a could remember all of their names, but I would like to say Nestor at the front desk set the tone for my entire stay. Welcoming, thoughtful and knowledgeable are just some of many ways to describe him. I would also like to say thank you to Luis at the front desk as well as Jamie whose service was stellar while working even with a sprained finger, Dani, Brenda…just everyone!

The hotel is makes everything easy. It is conveniently located near many stores, restaurants, etc and a few minute away from the airport and Old San Juan.

It's only about 10 minutes from the airport no need to rent a car unless you want to explore outside the immediate area. It is walking distance to get to restaurants,markets or drug stores.

The Hotel was modern and very clean. The pool and beach area always had enough lounge chairs and towels. The food available at the hotel was not great and very expensive. The area surrounding the hotel was not a nice area to walk around to find other dining.

Love Travelzoo! Hotel was very nice - rooms were clean and neat, and the staff accommodating. It is a smaller resort so it did not have many restaurants; however, there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Nice hotel in a prime location. The lobby is very grand and the pool and beach areas are lovely. It’s nice to have a restaurant near the pool and beach and there is drinks service at the beach. The hotel provides loungers and umbrellas at the beach which is fantastic. The rooms are standard double queens, and a bit dated. The carpet is old and stained and there are only three drawers. The bathroom is nice and large but our shower overflowed one day and had to be fixed. The water went all the way into the room. They did fix it immediately and refunded the resort fee for that day. The Avis onsite is super convenient and the parking is right across the street. The breakfast buffet has variety although it’s expensive. The restaurants are good but expensive, the food was generally tasty. Overall I would recommend this hotel, especially with the travel zoo deal! It’s a steal compared to other hotels. The hotel offers so many amenities and has great service.

Beautiful property in the perfect Isla Verde location with all of the amenities we could have needed for a couple days of relaxing on the beach and by the pool. Ease of access - just 10 minutes to the airport makes for a perfect quick getaway. All staff were delightful, making for a luxury experience! First time traveling with infant daughter and they accommodated her with a crib in the room, and always so helpful by the pool, beachfront restaurant, umbrella service. Thank you!

Beautifully landscaped pool area. Beach was clean and liked the chairs and umbrellas I didn’t have to lug around. The sleeper sofa was comfortable and comfortable sized for 2 kids. The ambiance felt chill, clean and resort-like. Would definitely return!

The hotel is very clean and rooms are nicely updated. Every room has a little balcony. When we checked in they gave us a room on the top floor away from the elevator which was great. The pool and hot tub are beautiful and has a swim up bar. You get complimentary big warm towels at the pool and beach. (Too bad people leave them everywhere).
The beach is fabulous with chairs and umbrellas set up, but good luck getting one.
Maintenance workers were probably the only staff who said good morning to us while there. Bellman were super nice and open the doors for you. They also held our luggage and let us hang out at the pool after we checked out until our later flight. Thank you!

This hotel service and amenities are just okay. Our room’s rug smelled like musty wet dog. The smith machine in the gym should be out of service. It is sticky and I almost hurt myself using it, it should be taken out or fixed. Someone is going to get hurt.
The music they play at the pool and bars is so weird, like elevator music, how about some Puerto Rican tunes? Also TVs seemed geared toward sports and football playing loudly.
Food at Oceanview rest. was overpriced and awful.
Restaurant service in breakfast place was horrendous and painfully slow. Nobody wants to sit and wait 30 minutes just for a menu and well over 30 minutes to pay their check, AND waited forever for my pot of coffee. Was there for almost 2 hours on one of my last days there. And no apologies from waitstaff or remedy. Definitely not 4 star service and staff is not too friendly or nice.
