    Food is horrible

    Food horrible. I would keep looking for another hotel. The beds are not comfortable. Little entertainment. Furniture in room heavily stained.

    Just ok

    Great location in Maho Village. Pools and beach amazing. No seaweed at Maho Beach unlike Orient Beach on the French side, which was covered in it! Service is probably the worst of any resort I’ve been to with respect to both the restaurants and servicing the rooms. The staff were beyond rude and seemed to be bothered when asking them of anything. I was astonished at the way some of waitresses acted in the restaurants - so rude! The only great staff member was the bartender in the Village Tavern. The in-hotel restaurants were pretty bad so opted to eat out every night for dinner, which was great. The pizza place on the hotel was pretty good as was village tavern, Could use room service options. The gym in the family side is horrendous and they should open up the gym on the adults side to everyone. This is a 3 star resort at best, but is one of the only AI option on the Dutch side (aside from the Divi which is too remote for my liking) and the water slides and beach for the kids outweigh the negatives. If you could try Moulin Fou for dinner in Maho Village - amazing duck, steaks and veal chop. One of my favorite restaurants in the island.

    Great experience

    we had a great time on our honeymoon / my wife birthday. sonesta was clean and friendly. everyone was nice and accommodating. Now the best part of our trip was our last breakfast experience. I had to told Lorna I haven't had a carribean breakfast since I been here and the our last day she spoke to the chef and he made us some Johnny cakes and steam fish that was delicious. the best meal we had on the resort. That needs to be on the menu every day. we will definitely recommend sonesta to our friends and family. outside the resort the palapa and captain rib was amazing.

    Great vacation

    Amazing vacation. The food was fantastic, grounds clean and well maintained. Rooms spacious. The staff were friendly and attentive. Activities throughout the day. It’s super cool to see the planes coming and going. I thought it would be annoying but did t even realize them flying after an hour or so. The island itself was amazing. Hop on the bus and explore or rent some dune buggies. The island is beautiful
