Feb 11, 2026Great service, but overall a mixed experience
Here’s what we liked - We were in a butler suite and the butlers were fantastic. Very helpful, friendly, went out of their way for us. For our anniversary they decorated our room and served champagne. If it weren’t for the butlers, I would have given a lower review. - Free and fast room service. - Service is great. At the Italian restaurant, we ordered one of the dishes with an olive oil sauce rather than the tomato sauce listed on the menu and they made it special for us. - Very clean. - Large shower - Fun to watch planes - Ocean Point side is spacious and butlers will reserve your chairs. - Good ocean views. -Not overly noisy. -Nice balcony off the room. Mixed reviews - Food was mediocre, some good, some really terrible. First time I’ve ever had bad Mexican food. How can you mess up an enchilada? (Mexican restaurant was on Ocean beach side, so maybe that was it??? - All food, even bananas, is imported and fruit was often not ripe. - Fun to watch planes, but of course they’re noisy - I found bed and chairs fairly comfortable. My husband didn’t. Here’s what we didn’t like - Way overpriced for what you get. Rooms not as luxe as expected and food not as good as at other all inclusive resorts I’ve been to. - No place to sit in the shade outside unless you’re in a restaurant. I like to sit in shade to watch the beach. There are umbrellas and cabanas but they all let light through. -No real beach access. - no salty snacks available—no nuts, pretzels, potato chips. Butler brought us tortilla chips, but they’re not salty.

Feb 05, 2026Awful. Save your money
I am not someone who complains, but this place is honestly shocking. We came for a short anniversary trip expecting a relaxing all inclusive resort and were immediately disappointed. The liquor selection is awful. Cheap, basic well alcohol you can get anywhere in the States. The food is below mediocre. Bland, poorly prepared, and not enjoyable. The staff made it worse. After finishing dinner and having a few cocktails, while not loud or bothering anyone, we were told to go to bed. Completely inappropriate, judgmental, and unprofessional. I have never felt so uncomfortable or unwelcome at a resort. This was a complete waste of time and money. I regret choosing this resort for our anniversary and would have been happier staying home, cooking my own food, and pouring my own drinks. I have never wanted to leave a vacation early until staying here. Book literally anywhere else. The piece of property is absolutely stunning so you get a star for that.

Feb 02, 2026Best Birthday Trip!
We had the most fabulous experience at Sonesta Ocean Point. We had crazy travel delays on the way to St. Maarten that messed up a lot of our travel plans and Sonesta Ocean Point went above and beyond in regard to flexibility and adjusting our stay to accommodate us. The staff were wonderful and lovely humans. We are thankful for Angela and Thaimi at the front desk who closely worked with us, were lovely and welcoming, answered all our questions, and were skilled at navigating our reservation issues and advocating on our behalf. We had lovely dining experiences. The food was fantastic and specifically, Dawn, Dominic, and Andrene were fantastic hostesses and servers, attentive with spot-on food recommendations, ensuring that we had such enjoyable meals. All the bartenders were great too and kept our drinks flowing lol. The cleaning staff were professional and thorough. Honestly, everyone was so great. The rooms are lovely with amazing views and the premises were excellent and made for a stellar trip. Lastly, we had beautiful and relaxing massages and Jardin at the spa was so wonderful and fun. 10/10 experience, they made my birthday trip for me and my husband such a wonderfully memorable experience. Thanks Sonesta Ocean Point.

Management and staff are equally amazing as the property.
This is an excellent place and we'll worth the money. Extremely clean. Outstanding staff. The General Mgr, Bernard is a major asset to both the staff and the property. Very approachable and welcoming. The staff and guests love him and his influence. We will be going back every year at least once for a few weeks. The place is amazing with amazing staff. A rare find. Excellent management.
