Poor Value for Money; Not a 5-Star

Tyler R (Edmonton, Canada) on Jan 28, 2025

We attended the Sonesta Ocean Point Resort in December 2024 for one week. The resort itself is beautiful, located on the cliff's edge and in very close proximity to the airport. There are good amenities in walkable range, including the casino and many high-end restaurants. The dining at the resort is premiere, with the Italian-inspired Portofino leading the way. There are some notable deficiencies however that detract from the experience and place this vacation closer to a 3-Star than the advertised 5-Star experience. Service and Staff Attitude Service was poor to confrontational. There is absolutely no pool-side service, which is expected at any high-end luxury resort. There did appear to be staff present who were supposed to provide this service, but for whatever reason they refused to do so. Lobby staff refused to action basic requests and were both rude and unhelpful when we made inquiries of the private dining experiences and spa bookings. Bar service was mixed, with some expressing pleasantries and others appearing to be bothered at the prospect of your simple request for a beverage. We experienced at least three negative confrontations with staff that impacted our experience negatively and affected which locations we attended for the remainder of the week. Nightlife Nightlife is non-existent here. If you are seeking late night cocktails, music or to engage with other travelers, this is not the destination for you. The resort becomes a ghost-town after 10pm. Beach There is no beach to sit on. There is a small area of sand that is barely accessible and at your own peril. If you are looking for the traditional beach experience, this is not the resort for you. Exclusivity The Ocean Point is advertised as an exclusive/premium experience, however many key amenities are only available on the larger Maho Beach side of the property, including coffee, buffets and stores. Some of the best attractions are actually located on the Maho Beach side of the resort, including the casino bar and rooftop snack bar, which are arguably the most interesting places on the property. Confusion As other guests have shared, it is a challenge to ascertain where restaurants are located and when they are open. This was unusually challenging for a Caribbean destination and there is little by way of help. The resort will undoubtedly reply that this information is available on the internet or their app and while this may be true, you will be required to actively investigate what is open throughout your stay. We found this to be an annoyance, particularly as some of the restaurants were not open when they were scheduled to be open, and some never seemed open at all. Value Overall, the value for money is poor. You will not feel as if you are receiving a premium, exclusive experience. You are better off staying on the Maho Beach side for a lesser fee or looking elsewhere.

A very nice place but beware of a few things lacking

Rtlh13 on Jan 28, 2025

Over all a very nice resort. I did NOT get the room I was told and ended up looking out over a roof with a limited ocean view. Could not enjoy the patio. Staff didn't do much to get me another room. Positives Establishment very clean. All Staff very friendly and spoke English. (Alot of other Caribbean resorts just put bodies in there and when you ask a question they replay no ingles). Food for an all inclusive resort was very good. if you think you are getting 5 star dining and quality at an all inclusive that just does not happen. All waiters were very nice and went out of their way for you. House keeping was terrif. I had a few minor issues with the room but they were resolved quickly. All pools were very clean. No riff raff which I had seen at other all inclusive resorts. Plenty of security so you know you are safe Things to be aware of but not going to call them negative. A lack of activities and entertainment. The place is next to the airport. While the planes taking off and coming in are an attraction, at dinner the noise could be disruptive especially while having conversations. There is no real beach at the resort like other all inclusive resorts. You had to walk 10 maybe 15 minutes to Mullet Bay beach, which was very nice but you had to pay 20-30 dollars for chairs, umbrellas and tables. The place does need some paint and floors to be replaced in the corridors where the rooms are. This is common in alot of resorts as the winds and ocean breezes and moisture do take there tolls quickly.
