I cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. It was absolute PERFECTION. Especially manager Lee Laguer who was THE BEST. Extremely accommodating and flexible. Made us feel right at home and ensured all of our guests had the perfect time. Additionally, Josue the waiter was great, excellent service and so attentive. 10/10 would recommend. 100% worth it.

When arriving at the hotel, I was greeted by Jose and the entire group ballet staff. All professional, and very soon it's very accommodating. Then when checking in, I was fortunate. Enough to me Salvador the hotel manager, he went over the top, to be sure, my stay. What's exactly what I was looking for. I do travel a lot. And I strongly recommend this hotel again. Thank you, Jose, and the entire staff for a wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful time as a couple at the Royal Sonesta. The amenities are excellent here: the location is on a beautiful beach while a fun nightlife, (if you enjoy that 😀), is within walking distance. It is also conveniently minutes from the airport. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The ocean view rooms are a wonderful way to wake up in the morning and drink in the scenery from your balcony. Nestor Colon, the Chief Concierge, was so helpful, kind and professional. He was able to arrange an early check in, as we arrived in San Juan much earlier than 4pm. He offers his knowledge about restaurants in the area and must see places. We have stayed in many Hotels in Puerto Rico over the years and this one is definitely a favorite. We highly recommend staying at the Royal Sonesta for its excellent guest care and its balanced levels of comfort and luxury.

After a 3 day stay in Ceiba with family, my husband and I wanted to go spend the day on one of our favorite beaches in Isla Verde. We had a 6 o'clock flight back to NJ and needed a short stay room on the beach. The Royal Sonesta was the perfect choice! We arrived at 9 AM. for our short stay booking. We booked on Hotelsbyday.com for 9 Am arrival and 5 PM. check out. The price for this gorgeous resort was absolutely reasonable, with access to the entire resort with a lovely room on the 5th floor. Our room had a great view with a balcony 😍. We checked in and went to our suite to change into beach ⛱️ clothes and spent a sunny day on the beach in the pool and having lunch at the ocean breeze restaurant on the property. For 8 hours, we ate, drank, and swam in the warm ocean. The beach was clean, as was the resort. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, and I would recommend the Royal Sonesta Resort to anyone wanting to spend time in Isla Verde. 5 🌟 all the way. At the end of our day, we showered in our room packed up and called Uber for a ride to SJU Airport 🛫 8 minutes away. Perfect day trip after being in the beautiful mountains of Ceiba.

Overall great vacation. Cant wait to start planning the next with Luxury Link. Please note this is a great hotel but showing a lot of wear. Here are some specifics:
Location - Great
Pool - Great
Akua Pool bar and staff - Great
Beach bar and staff - Great
Aleli cafe breakfast and staff - Great
I didn't know that there was a gift shop or an Italian restaurant until my second day there (not listed on hotel website).
Hotel "club" room - Good, clean, comfortable
Would have been Great if the sliding door from the room to the pool area wasn't so hard to use. My wife gave up after day one and walked around to get to pool. This was a BIG PROBLEM for us as it kind of defeats the purpose.
Poor water pressure.
The club room comes with buffet brekfast so the Luxury Link perk was kind of redundant.
Karaya bar - very good, usually busy, so service was a bit slow but food was good.
