This was my second stay at Villa Sonate. My first stay was so wonderful I was glad to return. The grounds are beautifully maintained. The rooms are clean, comfortable and have nice furnishings. Each room has its own veranda with 2 chairs and a table. I enjoyed sitting outside to read. The housekeeping staff is great. Everyone at Villa Sonate is welcoming and helpful. The cooks prepare delicious and satisfying Jamaican breakfasts and made sure to accommodate my meat and gluten-free diet. Another wonderful stay!

It was reasonably priced, had a clean pool, and clean surroundings. It is about 6 minutes from popular eating spots and beaches.
I had only one dislike which was the jet tub. When the jet was turned on, alot of black sediments came out, seems it is needs cleaning.

The hotel staff are very friendly and pleasant. The grounds are beautiful. The room is comfortable and spacious with a furnished veranda. The bathroom is large and supplied with toiletries and a sewing kit. I had everything I needed for a relaxing stay.
The chefs prepared vegetarian meals for me each day of my 5-night stay. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely return.

Loved the cleanliness. The breakfast was also good. The staff were friendly. Work was being done on the garden. It was pleasant enough that I would return if I needed to be in the area again.
