So many positives... I don't know where to start... I loved the proximity of the pool and how easy it was to get to the beach from my room. The hotel staff was phenomenal - friendly, helpful, welcoming. The pool area was clean. It was nice to see some children playing and the other guests were so fun and friendly. The beach was perfect... on Saturday afternoon, there was live music being played on the beach. It was so refreshing to see people let loose and enjoy it. The breakfast that is included with the reservation is so much more than "continental breakfast" - it has stations of different foods (eggs, bacon, waffle station, fruit station, cereal station, pastries, etc.). If you wanted to order something special, it costs extra but I saw absolutely no need. The continental breakfast also includes one mimosa per guest. I, unfortunately, did not take advantage of the happy hour that is also included, however, the ambiance was festive but not too loud. the bartenders and servers were friendly. It really was a great place to decompress for a couple of days.

royal sonesta review: absolutely incredible 10/10 service! everyone is so incredibly nice, and super helpful. rooms were beautiful, super comfortable beds, and turn down service was great. restaurants and drinks were good, just pricey. as solo travelers, this place is super safe and welcoming. puerto rico in general is incredibly welcoming and nice. as single women travelers, i felt very safe everywhere i went! pool and beach are great. only slight issue is i feel that price wise breakfast should be included, and some other perks, but besides that 10/10 stay. i recommend ubering instead of renting a car, 24 market across the street, getting mofongo at the restaurant next to it, and getting to club brava earlier than you think :)

Great stay. Fast and easy check-in and check-out. Very clean and well kept hotel. Rooms were clean and a well kept. Several Restaurants (including Ruth Chris. Loved that) and bars on-site had breakfast and lunch/dinner options. Gym was nice and clean. Hotel located near restaurants and convenient stores (walking distance/across the street). Swim up bar and restaurant was relaxing. 5 min drive from airport depending on traffic. Offered valet for similar price to public parking so that was convenient. Staff was very nice, helpful, and courteous. Definitely recommend the stay here!!~

The property has a fantastic location it’s close to the airport, in walking distance to food, shopping and more! The hotel property is clean and has great amenities like a spa,gym and nail salon, with great food options! Alei and Ocean Breeze were my favorites. The rooms are clean and the staff is very friendly. This is a Beachfront hotel with access to water activities like jet ski parasailing and banana boat rides. Archie jet ski rental is the best and also Checkin/ checkout was easy! Great for families or couple get away.

This is our second time staying at the Royal Sonesta San Juan, and we absolutely love it. The pool area is amazing, the beach is gorgeous, and there are so many convenient places around the hotel to get whatever you need. The staff is so helpful and friendly (especially William, Jose, and Desiree), and we were able to totally relax and enjoy our time there. I also want to thank the man who hands out the towels- I think his name is something like Effrin- he is so sweet.
