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!

This hotel is absolutely stunning, offering a perfect location and breathtaking ocean views from the room. The staff was exceptional, with a special shoutout to Shenoya for her top-notch customer service. I visited with my daughter for a weekend getaway, and I was beyond impressed with how friendly and welcoming everyone was. The service at the restaurant and valet was outstanding—they served with a smile, making the experience even more enjoyable. I loved that the beach was just across the street, adding to the convenience and charm of the stay. I will definitely be returning! Read less

I asked to be moved and they found me a lovely room further away from folks Place was clean, elevators were fast I did not try the pool on the property but looked nice Two beach chairs were part of the resort and I paid for an umbrella $30 Beach was clean and safe with gentle waves Location of hotel is a bit far from where most of the restaurants are but also quieter area But there were a few restaurants close by, a Mexican restaurant next door and an amazing French bakery Nanou Sunrise with very authentic croissants. There are a few locations of this bakery The hotel restaurant was also great for a convenient dinner Finally I had a work meeting and a later flight and the staff let me do a later check out Read less

I had an amazing stay at the Sonesta Ft Lauderdale beach hotel. I was in town for my birthday weekend with friends, and ended up extending my stay an additional two days. I was greated with great service upon arrival. The front desk employee Shenoya was so friendly and greated me with a warm birthday welcome. She surprised me with a beautiful ocean front view. She gave me complimentary breakfast coupons & a few complimentary drink coupons as well. I couldnt be more grateful. The valet on site was super convenient. The valet supervisor JP was very helpful. All of the valet drivers and employees I came into contact with, were friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed staying here. The location is perfect across from the beach. Amazing beach views. It was a great birthday weekend! :) Read less
