    Great Location, Room for Improvement

    Beautiful pool area and friendly staff, especially Omar who gave great local tips! However, cleanliness in our room was subpar upon arrival. Be mindful of the breakfast prices, as options are limited. For families, bringing your own snacks to enjoy poolside could enhance your stay.

    beautiful oceanfront location, spacious pool area, convenient beach access

    The gym equipment, while decent, could use more upkeep!!! Housekeeping inconsistencies left us wanting better service overall!!!

    Relaxing getaway with great food!

    Had a lovely stay for 3 nights. The room was super comfy, and the breakfast buffet hit the spot—really tasty! Staff were super chill and helpful. The only bummer was that after 9 PM, things get kinda quiet, not ideal for party people. But if you're looking to chill, it’s perfect.

    ocean-view room
    refreshing pool
    expensive drinks

    We had an incredible stay with our gorgeous ocean-view room and loved the refreshing pool and relaxing beach hammocks. The vibe was super chill, making it easy to unwind after a long day. Just a heads-up, some drinks at the pool bar were on the pricey side, but they were worth it! 🌴

    The beautiful lobby decoration made me feel so welcomed, with its vibrant colors and elegant furniture. The accessible paths made it easy to stroll around without worry, and I truly enjoyed the lovely views from my room.

    More comfortable seating in communal areas would help.

    good location

    Just a great fit for a fleeting moment in Carolina with good price-value balance. The staff was super friendly, especially Carol, who really made me feel welcomed at check-in. If you can, join the rewards program—it comes with perks like drink tickets.

    stunning beach
    friendly service
    outdated room
    high-priced amenities
    unmet expectations

    The hotel grounds are beautiful, framed by a stunning beach, with exceptional staff who provide friendly service. However, the room itself was a bit outdated and left much to be desired. Additionally, be cautious with charges for extra amenities, including the high-priced breakfast buffet, which did not meet expectations. Despite these shortcomings, the welcoming team, especially the concierge, made a difference during our stay.

    The Royal Sonesta San Juan offered an amazing beach right at the back of the pool area, and the pool itself was spacious with plenty of loungers. I loved the fresh breakfast selection that catered to various dietary needs, making it a great start to the day.

    Some staff interactions could have been warmer and more engaging.

    outdoor pool
    beach access
    family-friendly activities
    limited kids' amenities

    The outdoor pool was a hit, keeping the kids entertained while we enjoyed our time by the ocean. Plus, the beach access was super convenient for those spontaneous water activities.

    In my wife’s opinion, a better kids' play area would be great for families.

    perfect spot for beach access and exploring nearby attractions

    I loved being just a few steps from Hobie Beach, perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the ocean. The area felt very safe and was close to local amenities like a CVS and fantastic dining options, making it easy to grab an affordable meal and enjoy a relaxing evening without traveling far.
