Stayed in Sept/Oct 2024 and had a great time.

We stayed at the Sonesta from 25/09 - 17/10/24 and had a really great experience. We were on the top floor facing the pool and could not fault anything during our stay. There aren’t any lifts which makes taking your suitcases up a challenge but we knew this before booking and thankfully, we only needed to do this once at the start and at the end of our 3 weeks. The hotel is a little dated but they have started the upgrade process and whilst there were certain parts that were dated, they were clean and functional. Everyone we met was pleasant and friendly both to us and each other. We were there for hurricanes Helene and Milton and were kept well informed by the management team. There are grounds men/women who are up bright and early keeping the property tidy and cleaning the pool. The maids came Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays to empty trash and replace towels, and the apartment had a full clean on Wednesdays. If we wanted anything, we only called to reception and it was provided to us within minutes. I took tea towels from home following an earlier review and these were handy to have. There is a full kitchen with ice maker/dishwasher and enough crockery/cutlery for 6 people. They don’t have teaspoons though, handy to know if anyone drinks tea/coffee with sugar in. We used the pool most evenings, there are plenty of washing machines and driers. There are fresh clean towels provided daily for the pool and a small arcade area which takes tokens. There isn’t a lifeguard which didn’t bother us as we would never allow our children in the pool without one of us there to supervise. There are plenty of food places within walking distance of the hotel and it is ideally situated for the parks and shopping places. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here, even more so than our villa stay the previous year. We would definitely return to the Sonesta and have no hesitation in recommending it as a place to stay for other families.

Too Noisy

Great hotel and location. Downside was that we were on a ground floor and we could hear every footstep from the people above who were walking or jumping around in their apartment until the early hours of the morning. Also the lounge area could benefit from a more comfortable sofa and maybe a small side table to put a drink on. I would possibly return but would certainly get a top floor apartment.
