Villa Sonate is a lovely property with a very welcoming staff. My room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and always had toiletries and clean, thick towels. The Jamaican breakfast was delicious every morning. Even after Hurricane Melissa, there was hot water in the shower and a beautifully manicured garden. The staff worked hard to cleanup and restore the grounds. This was my third wonderful stay. I'm very comfortable at Villa Sonate.
