Reviews for The Royal Sonesta San Juan
Puerto Rican Girls Trip
Stayed at the Royal Sonesta for a girl's trip in PR. Located in Isla Verde and right on the beach, it was a very nice hotel to relax and enjoy the views. Stayed in one of the ocean view rooms with balcony, the bed was very comfortable and over all the room was clean and refreshed with towels daily. However, I did see some wear and tear and some stains on the rug. My room was also right in front of the elevator, I did not hear much noise or the ding to the elevator at all so that was a plus, but not my first choice of where I prefer my room to generally be. We had a beach day and just walked right outside thru the pool area and onto the beach. Chairs and umbrella are complimentary; we paid for drinks and some lunch while we lounged on the chairs. The water was perfect and the weather couldn't have been better while there. There is a restaurant right on the beach, which is great, food was ok, but nothing special. Did not have a chance to have breakfast or check out the spa, but the hotel is convenient and you can walk to nearby Walgreens and other restaurants and bars. You will need to Uber if you want to travel to Old San Juan and other locations, but it was about a 20-minute ride. Overall, I would stay here again for the beach and relaxing.

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.
