I read reviews after I booked this vacation for my daughter and myself and was in complete panic mode! The reviews on here to say the least were horrifying. I returned from my vacation last Thursday and it was beyond what I had expected. The staff were amazing and made my daughter feel like she was the only princess there! The rooms and hotel have all been updated, to my understanding, as I seen absolutely nothing wrong with their conditions. There was a wide selection of food including a pizza bar that was always open so you never felt rushed to fit to a schedule. I was unable to make some reservations for the restaurants but the staff was very accommodating. The room was not ready when I first arrived but they held our bags and showed me where I could have lunch while we waited. My advise for anyone who is reading reviews when booking any vacation please remember that the majority of dissatisfied people will always write and unfortunately those who had a pleasant experience do not always take the time out to write a review. For many who work 9-5 and juggle a family... the fact that you didn't get a chair when you wanted is the least. Enjoy the weather; the scenery and time with your family and stop sweating the small stuff - try an island-life mindset! I will definitely visit Sonesta Maho Beach Resort again.
