We visited for 4 days, 3 night and had an enjoyable stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The Jamaican breakfast was delicious! We also ordered dinner one evening and it was wonderful as well. The food was flavorful and we can tell fresh ingredients were used. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. The room has a fan and an ac unit so the temperature is always comfortable. Its a very quiet environment. I wish I could have dipped in the pool but it kept raining on and off while we were there. Some minor things to make note of - the roads leading to the hotel are pretty bad so take caution when driving. The shower drain in the bathroom was pretty clogged the first couple nights we were there, but when we informed them of the issue, housekeeping and maintenance quickly fixed it. The cable on the TV didn’t work, but the tv has access to streaming apps which we watched instead. The beds are also on the harder side. We met one of the owners during our stay, and she is a very lovely lady!!! If you’re looking for a lowkey, homey, bed and breakfast with delicious food, this is the perfect stay!! It’s also a great opportunity to support a black business!!

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.
