Not Worth It – Loud, Run-Down, and Poorly Managed
The resort looks nice at first glance, but it desperately needs major renovation. It’s extremely loud—definitely not for someone looking to relax. I had a horrible 3-night stay with drunk neighbors fighting every night. The all-inclusive setup seems to bring out the worst in some guests.
The staff was friendly, but the real issue is poor management. Parking is off-property and inconvenient. I don’t mind paying for parking, but the current arrangement is not guest-friendly.
The all-inclusive model might work well for big groups or families looking for convenience, but it’s not ideal for couples or anyone seeking a quality, peaceful vacation.
I ultimately left Sonesta early and spent my last 2 nights at Divi Beach instead—which was a much better experience. For a short stay, I also recommend The Morgan—it’s convenient, modern, and offers excellent service with beautifully designed rooms.
It’s a real shame that management allows such a beautiful property and location to be overshadowed by poor oversight and noise issues. If you’re looking for a relaxing and well-managed stay in St. Martin, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
