My stay at the Sonesta Resort was mostly enjoyable with beautiful grounds and convenient beach access. The room was spacious and well-maintained, but the dining experience left something to be desired, especially during dinner. Service was top-notch, with friendly staff always ready to assist. Overall, it's a lovely resort for families, although the dining could improve for more variety.
