Sonesta Maho Beach: A Good Time

I think we picked the wrong room. We chose a Superior King room and these rooms are located on the street side of hotel where you hear club music all night until 4:00am. This was Thursday through Tuesday. Also, fifth floor has a smell of sewage. So if you stay then ask for a Oceanview or Island view or Pool view otherwise it will be a bit uncomfortable. The food was good and Italian restaurant was best. Beach is great but a bit rough. Pool is okay too but we never used it. Location was great. Ai [... read more]rplanes were fun.

The walls in the room was durty The floor was clean The bathroom was nice and clean You should clean the wall Very nice view on the 10 floor. To close to the airport. Too nosy airplane comming every 1are 2hours

Sonesta Maho Beach: Great friendly resort

The food was great in the buffet but the restaurant that should have served the steak on lava rock was on first day closed and then was turned into a Mexican restaurant. They said it was now to be a Mexican restaurant. Also they stated on website that the beach was right there. That’s not so you have to walk about a mile to the beach. I think the resort should offer a shuttle bus to the beach for guests. The hotel should provide a paper map of the grounds and location of the restaurants and the [... read more] events. The people were very friendly and helpful.A great place for kids. The weather was superb. The space for the karaoke should have been better as was very limited space to sit.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Over priced

Great location, nice staff and food. Resort is dated,needs a lot of updating. Bathrooms mouldy and rooms are old and dark looking with sunk in matresses. Pool area too small to accommodate the amount of guests and needs a lot of repairs

Sonesta Ocean Point Resort: Great Location / Great Resort

#1 is the service, smiles and thank you go a long way with the staff. #2 location, minutes from airport, right in town #3 food is similar to 5 star resorts Only downfall is the airport, we got very lucky going through but other travellers waited for over 2.5 hours (mostly issues with luggage, to many planes for the what they can handle)

Sonesta Maho Beach: Disappointing

The room booked was an Island view. This room turned out to be street-side. The rooftop bar and club opened at 10pm and ran until 4:30am or later every night. The music pounded and blared so that no sleeping was possible. The resort was not only not helpful but disrespectful. They said that was the room you booked and handed us earplugs. There was no notice on the website about the noise nor any warning from our travel agent. Clearly this is known to the resort. Other couple were in the s [... read more]ame situation. There is also almost no beach. The current is too strong to swim and it is too narrow to enjoy. As such it becomes a pool resort. Pool gets the two stars. There is very little to no entertainment unless you want to go to the all night roof top club or the little casino. The island is beautiful and there are many other locations that would have been much better. The food was overall good but not sufficient to make up for the other negatives.

Sonesta Maho Beach: SADLY WONT RETURN!

Second time at this resort as loved it 1st time. Found staff quite unfriendly and not helpful it was actually hard to get their attention if you had a question! I understand that tourism is the only game in town for employment but for goodness sake at least acknowledge people and pretend you like your job especially given that tips are involved! There was a norovirus at resort the week we were there soooo many sick guests (probably 70%) based on Facebook posts and general talk at the resort. A  [... read more]great number of guests ate off site as a little concerned about food heigene at the resort as virus was revving up during the week. Not the point of going to an all-inclusive to feel safer eating off site! Not sure if resort took this as seriously as they could for eg. Hand sanitizer stations often empty. Know many people who in good faith won't return or recommend.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Beautiful resort

The resort was great. A terrific hotel and staff. The room cleaning staff was thorough and friendly. The restaurants were conveniently located and served delicious food. I’m really hoping to return to this fine resort in the next couple of years!

Sonesta Maho Beach: Strongly Recommend for Pool People

Most of the staff are very friendly and do their best to accommodate you. We first came here in 2022 and again in January 2024. We are beach people and learned on our most recent vacation, this year, that the beach had eroded since our last visit in 2022. Therefore our all-inclusive became not so much of an all inclusive as we spent most of our time on other beaches. On the bright side we divided our days between Mullet Bay and Anguilla beaches. This resort is very clean and I would strongl [... read more]y recommend it for pool people. If you are a beach person, you can still go to Maho Beach but you have to walk up past the other resorts, which is fine, but it is quite busy, especially if several cruise ships come in and be prepared to be sand blasted from the airplanes.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Sonesta Maho Resort review

Trip date Sept 28 to October 5th -2023 Overall a very good resort. Sunwing lost my bag so had no luggage for 4 days. Main Oasis pool was closed down for renovations on day #4 of our trip. The alternate pool provided for guests was to small to accommodate everyone at the resort, so timers were used at lounge chairs which seating to begin with was very limited due to minimal chairs. Unfortunately, due to the construction repairs on the grounds, the resort did not have a beautiful vacation vibe as [... read more] it would most presumably would have. It was disappointing that we were not notified of the pool closure prior to booking. The waves in the ocean due to hurricane Phillipe were very high and strong - so beach use during pool reconstruction was not an option for my elder husband with hip and shoulder issues. The Oasis main pool for this resort -we were told will not be open for possibly 2 more months- this will be determined depending on the extent of repairs required to fix once it is diagnosed. Some guests were very disappointed as they paid more for pool/ocean views without warning either of this construction on site. Food on resort was very good. Resort staff were terrific. Friendly island. Dealing with Sunwing was not a good experience at all. Lack of communication from Sunwing staff regarding lost luggage. I spent the first 4 days trying to track down my own luggage with very little assistance from Sunwing. Hotel, room and restaurant cleanliness was very good. I would recommend this hotel once pool renos are completed and avoid booking with Sunwing and rather go with WestJet..

Sonesta Maho Beach: Ok resort

Staff were very helpful and nice. Pool needs a lot of help. Facilities were no frills. Food was respectable but lacked variety. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdddddddd

Sonesta Maho Beach: A great getaway

Excellent. Courteous and professional staff and servers. The pool wasn’t that inviting, but the beach was a blast. Could do with a few more umbrellas. The food is excellent in all the restaurants. Spacious and comfortable rooms. Great entertainment at all the venues on the resort.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Great 4 star resort in a perfect location

We’ve stayed at this resort twice now and had a great time. The location is great, right on the Maho strip on the Dutch side. Multiple beach options close by Maho on resort, mullet bay 7-10 min walk and cupecoy maybe 15 min. The food was all great, rooms were super clean and the resort is constantly being cleaned. The pool has a fun energy with entertainment. It’s a great home base for your trip to St. Maarten!

A true 4 star! Not as luxurious as some 5 stars but the price reflects. Great value! Fun for the whole family, couples, young or old.

Sonesta Maho Beach: amazing resort

Sonesta Maho Beach: Great Location !! Outstanding service!!

The hotel is nice, not too big which was good for me. Food was very good with lots of variety. Location very good nice pools, beach not that great but the're lots of nice beaches on the island where you can go by taxi to spend the day. I booked the oasis poolview room in which I got a beautiful view of the pool and Ocean. The room is spacious with a round table and three chairs. My cleaning lady was Marie who did a good job cleaning my room daily. All the staff were very nice.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Maho beach is amazing

This place is great! Nice hotel, helpful staff, beautiful rooms, great atmosphere and with lots of fun during the day. The beach was clean, lots of sun chairs, not crowdy. All restaurants and buffets have great food selection.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Maho beach

Excellent accommodations trip was smooth no hassle. I must say Natasha did very good job it’s our first time and we enjoyed our vacation. The food was good the service not so good overall an amazing time. I would book again if I go to another vacation with Natasha she was very helpful

Sonesta Maho Beach: Fun place

Overall it was a nice resort. It’s clearly an older building but the rooms are clean and not musty which you tend to find in a lot I’d tropical resorts. Beds were comfy, staff nice and for the most part accommodating most of the restaurants were good. The Italian was very nice, great ambiance,views and food. The Palms grill was terrific, even the village tavern offered decent pub style food. The Chinese was so so, and being a vegetarian the buffet did not offer all the choices I’m used to  [... read more]finding another resorts. This is beach front - sort of. There are palapas and sand and loungers but there’s a wall - it’s built on a rocky part of the ocean, so you can get sand in your toes on the property but have to go down a path at the side of the property to get to the public beach - which is also shared with a beach club next door. The loungers and umbrellas in the beach belong to the beach club next door. We would go down and swim then Come back up to our chairs. They have two pools one a larger pool and one for kids they were okay. Pool bar was generally busy nice bartenders. The cafe was sparse, I think they’re still setting it up - not sure. Overall for what we paid it a decent value. This place s close to the airport, oh and don’t rent from the car company in the lobby you can get a better deal at the airport.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Wonderful time

We were welcomed on arrival with a lovely drink, steel drum music and lovely friendly faces. Room was ready for us and we were able to unpack, shower and freshen up for supper. Within 2hrs there was a Knock on the door and a lady there with a plate of treats and balloons ready to decorate the room for my husbands birthday, what a lovely surprise. We dined at the buffet and it was lovely, plenty of variety and everything we tasted was flavourful. We had two doors that would not shut, One was the  [... read more]bathroom and the other the closet. Within an hour of reporting it, maintenance was there and problem solved. Staff are so accommodating, so friendly and the resort is immaculately clean. Workers continue to keep this look on every floor. Washrooms in all common areas immaculate, women are always there maintaining the cleanliness. Bar staff and waitresses are amazing. All restaurants have a wide variety of food that tastes fantastic. Our favourite was the Italian but loved them all. Our only “negative” was the evening entertainment, not enough live shows and those we had only lasted an hour. Karaoke is ok but not great to keep guests interested. Beach is not great, lovely to look at but as it’s on a deep slope, very hard to walk. Strong undertow kept us from swimming. Fun to watch the planes. Need more shaded areas for guests to relax out of the sun. We loved this resort, and would definitely recommend. Sunwing reps were fantastic and always there every day to assist with any questions or concerns.Dave’s Open top bus tour was amazing, well worth including in your stay. Very safe area and Loved that there wasn’t any mosquitos too. Weather was fabulous the whole week.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Fantastic Resort

The hotel was clean, the dining was great, and the people were lovely. The only thing is I didn’t swim at the beach only once because I got pulled in from the undertow. So that was the only disadvantage.
