    Very Disappointing!

    I was very disappointed with my stay at Sonesta Saint Maarten. The food was a 1 out of 5—bland, lacking variety, and only one breakfast option. There’s just one food hut, and it took over 27 minutes to get a dry hamburger. Guests were visibly frustrated just trying to get a burger or hot dog. Customer service was just as poor. On the 19th, I told the front desk that water from the shower was flooding into the hallway and near the bed—no response. I had to call housekeeping myself. Someone came to clean, but the floor near the bed remained wet, so I had to lay down a towel just to avoid stepping in water that morning. To make matters worse, while eating breakfast, a staff member pushing a cart bumped into me and didn’t even say excuse me. Then, at 5:49 PM on Monday, my room still hadn’t been cleaned. I called housekeeping, and they claimed someone would come before 5 PM—but no one showed (see pics). I went down to speak with the supervisor on duty, Angela, who simply justified it by saying many staff were out for the Easter holiday. I told her, “That’s not an excuse—this is a business.” I’m so over this place. Cleanliness and sanitation are vital in the hotel industry, and this stay missed the mark on every level. I would not recommend or refer this hotel to anyone.

    family vacation during spring break

    This was my second time at this resort. I saw improvements but the buffet needs work. Breakfast was mediocre. Melissa needs to check her attitude. She is very RUDE! One day she pointed at my sister and told the young lady at the entrance don’t let her in again. I went to be seated and she ran in and made a big deal with one of the waitresses. Those are things to address in private. She is the cover up patrol as I watched her stare a young lady done and rolled her eyes about her coverup. Some of the folks at the pizza place were doing too much as well if we asked for a whole pizza. I traveled with 24 people so a whole pizza wasn’t out of reach. Mexican restaurant took way too long to serve us we got up and left. Basically we ate off the resort more than we did on. The bars were all great especially the one at the casino. The Jerk Chicken during lunch at the Psalms restaurant was good. The live band at the pool and the hotel could use a little more entertainment such as games etc. The shower water drains out so bad that it floods the bathroom at times. Overall this was an absolutely average stay and hotel.

    Find another place

    We were actually put up here for one night by Delta when they needed people to be bumped off the flight and stay the night. We were excited to be put up at an all inclusive. This was a pretty low-end resort. It was hopping - lots of people in the pool and bar, lots of kids, but wasn't impressed with the food, activities, etc. Buffet for breakfast was eh at best - nothing was refilled. Dinner at their "nicest" - the Italian restaurant was mediocre. Location by Maho is great - we loved walking on the beach and seeing the planes but otherwise this place wasn't great.

    Poor service no shade pool too small my gold necklace was stolen from my room

    Pool was too small. No shade whatsoever. Very few chairs with shade on the beach. Food was not that great. Service was very slow. They advertise all these restaurants however most are closed on certain nights or several nights in a row. So it’s the buffet again. Same food every day. Beds are hard as a rock. Everyone in our party of 11 agreed. My gold chain that was put with my other costume jewelry “mysteriously” went missing. Only reason to come here is if you’re into planes and want to see landings and take offs.
