The Sonesta Resort was an absolute delight! The lush scenery, friendly staff, and well-maintained beach access made our stay memorable. The dining experiences were fantastic, with events that added a fun twist to our vacation. However, while we enjoyed our time, we did notice that the wait times for the elevators could be a bit long, and some noise from neighboring rooms was present, which could be a downside for those seeking quieter accommodations.
