Amazing Activities

The range of outdoor activities available was impressive, but I particularly enjoyed the whale watching excursion. The waters were calm, and we were lucky enough to see 5-6 humpback whales. It was an lovely experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting!

Comfort Beyond Compare

The rooms were spacious and beautifully appointed, with full-length windows that provided stunning waterfront views. Waking up to see seals swimming by was a daily highlight. The comfort of the furnishings and attention to detail truly elevated the stay.

My stay at the resort was a dream come true, set against breathtaking views and surrounded by nature. The room we stayed in was fantastic, with stunning views, but the service could have been a bit more consistent, especially with room servicing. The dining was largely excellent, with some standout dishes, though it wasn't perfect. Overall, this is a wonderful place for those looking to unwind and immerse themselves in nature, but be prepared for the extra costs associated with activities.

Our stay at Sonora Resort was a delightful mix of relaxation and adventure, making it a memorable experience overall. The stunning views from our spacious room were complemented by a calm, tranquil atmosphere. While the activities and location were fantastic, the dining experience left something to be desired, as the food didn’t quite match the high expectations set by the resort's reputation. Despite the dining shortcomings, I would still recommend this resort for its natural beauty and unique amenities.
