Sonesta Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale, Gold Coast Beaches

Virgin rating

The hotel

Oozing style and sophistication, one of the many great things about the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale is where it is. Set just steps from the 7-mile stretch of sands, you can be jumping in those lapping waves in no time. But it’s not all about the beach. You’ll love the relaxing, calm infinity-edge pool, and the spa suite where you can treat yourself to a massage. The restaurant is a cool twist of Caribbean and American food, not to forget the tasty cocktails!

I was very pleased from the very minute I arrived at the Sonesta Hotel. Everyone made (My) this Hotel Stay feel so very comfortable The workers Each and every One of Them were very Professional at there job but also So Very Friendly that it made my stay a very pleasant one. They made me feel like I knew all of them already and I was just back to visit them all again. There were a few bumps that I would call them, one was I have fallen in the elevator I did not let that stop me from enjoying the rest of my stay here. I also noticed there were ice buckets in the room but not on the floor I was staying on, and no fan in bathroom for when showering and using hot water the bathroom mirror was all steamy and I couldn’t see myself in it. no microwave in the room either. Small things, nothing from giving My Hotel Stay 5 +stars but what made it complete and the reason why I would definitely come back and stay here again would be for Evelyn, Andy, Rosa, Sai, Lesley, Patrick, Khushboo and Aaron and Security when I slipped and fell in the elevator and there were a few more workers I can’t remember all there names. but no doubt I will come back for more stays in the future just because not only the way My Sister and I were treated and the hospitality was divine as well. Overall Everything was Amazing! Thank You Again for the Awesome Memories You left Me with. Happy Holidays All, and Have A Great Day! 😀😊 Read less

The room is clean. The location is great. Right across the street from the beach and a state park. Surrounded by restaurants and shops. The staff is nice. However there is a microwave for guests next to the front desk, the microwave is beyond filthy.

Pleasant staff and clean. Security measures. Heated pool was great and getting 2 beach chairs was a plus. Convenient to park and beach. Great to be able to walk 10 min to water taxi stop. Great hot cocoa on a couple cool nights. Shonoye was the best at the desk!
