Sonesta is a favorite of ours. We go quite often due to its beach access, multiple pools and frendly staff. Very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

The day I checked in , my card was charged double the amount. They acted as if nothing was paid for. They also tried to cut my reservation short and told me I had to pay for another room. I will never stay there again . The tv did not work the entire time, and the water was brown .

Please do not come here. The only reason why this property has a good review is that they they buy their reviews from their locals this place is a dump and it is trash and false advertisement. This hotel looks like is a rundown hotel paint is chipped locals living in the apartments looks so rundown, unsafe, moldy, smelly, and not well-maintained. Staff is terrible, hardly spoke English and give attitude once you question them about the property and paperwork. This property is a scam property. Please be warn not to go. I had to end up booking another hotel because this was false advertisement and it was just trashy. They are not answering my calls because I called for my refund. I spoke to the manager and she said I am able to get it refund through Expedia and Expedia was trying to contact them and they kept not answering and I called and they hanged up on me.
