After reading some lousy reviews, I was a little concerned. I copied and pasted a couple and sent the email to resort management, stating that I hoped not to have a like experience.

Working in NYC's upper East side, I'm as discriminating as they get. However, I'm not a picky pain in the ass on vacation, which a lot of people ...

There was absolutely nothing to like about the Sonesta.....It's amazing how a beautiful island like St Martin can be scarred forever by this place.

Not only did it smell like a subway urinal, but the staff was unfriendly, to say the least, the food was fit for cats just like the ones that ramble through the resort eateries begging for food ...

THE SONESTA IS NOT SAFE

i paid a lot of money to stay at a hotel full of thieves and scumbags. Here is my story: I came back to the hotel one night at around 2 in the morning and went down to the lobby to do some work on my computer. Keep in mind, this is a huge open space with security walking all around. Anyway, I fell asleep by accident with my ...

Just spend 7 nights there and did not like the place at all. It's old and looks it, no remodeling or refurbishing seems to have ever been done. The carpets are dirty, the walls marked and gouged, the rooms smell thanks to the green water in the toilets, and my room had the most lovely view of a huge sewage treatment plant only a stone's ...

I loved being so close to the airport that we arrived at our hotel within 10 minutes from leaving the airport. I also really enjoyed watching the planes land on the runway.
The problems during the week I was there January 19th - 26th,2008 was that the resort was grossly overbooked. There was a group called Redner from the States (475 people) and ...

First time to St. Maarten,the resort was very nice and close to everthing especially the airport. Pool area is great and the beach is nice, the staff very friendly. Food was good especially at the grill.We had a great time. Going back again! Ducth side is great!!

We traveled with a group of 80 people during the week of February 10th through the 17th. The resort has serious management problems. They do nothing consistently. Sometimes they are good, sometimes they are bad. The staff for the most part were unfriendly. We did enjoy Cheryl the bartender, she was great. Diane at the breakfast buffet was ...

Hmm... I find a times, I tend to still daydream about this place. I remember the romance, the ambiance, the overwhelming feeling of passion, and the overpowering desire to never leave the island. Nights at the sunset beach bar, Morning walks along the beach, The car we rented to travel to the other islands, but mostly, the greatest feeling while I ...

We've have stayed at the hotel multiple times hoping that the plumbing problems would be fixed. Unfortunately again there were problems with raw sewage backing up.

It is hard to believe the Sonesta has continued to manage this hotel without fixing this problem. Every time we've stayed there either the water was turned off for a period ...
