A great stay!
The Royal Sonesta is a beautiful resort. Highly recommended for business, couples, or friends! Second year in a row and have not been disappointed!

Blast
If you don’t mind music blasting from the band that likes to play outside then book this hotel otherwise everything wise is nice Kinda of not what you would expect out of an room that you pay 600 per night

Solid choice
I would definitely consider staying here again though value could be a bit better. Pool and beach access were great, probably the biggest selling points. Room was nice and clean but not 100% pristine, for example some bathroom fixtures had greenish copper stains, not a big deal but less thsn 5 star quality. Location was good, originally we wondered if it was a little far from the limelight but there were sufficient restaurants within walking distance but not overly crowded or loud, a nice mix IMO

Great Resort Great Staff
The hotel itself is wonderful Helpful friendly staff especially Willaim at the front always there to greet you with a smile and a friendly word. Lovely big rooms with super comfy beds but no outdoor space to sit. Pool and staff at the pool were great with direct access to the beach. Ocean breeze restaurant was good and great cocktails at the pool bar. Only downside for me was very close to the airport so a bit noisy and outside of the resort there is nothing to do but its only a 15 min cab ride to old San Juan Overall really enjoyed our stay

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.
