Sonesta ES Suites Carmel Mountain – San Diego

10/10 Excellent
"Great appartment, with all required utensils and fixings. Beautiful pool. Had to request towel changes every few days. Pool towels always had to collected before a swim as none were in the towel storage at the pool. Breakfast was great but hours were too early or too short. Needed to be until 9 or later every morning."
