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!

This is our second stay at this particular Sonesta hotels. From the moment we arrived this past Sunday evening, our first night we were met with such professionalism. The entire stay exceeded our high expectations. We can't wait to return for our third visit in the very near future.

Everything was wonderful. We had a great time, especially enjoyed the beach. We had great weather so we spent most of our time there. Beach attendant Killian was the best! He always had a smile and remembered our favorite spot 😊. We plan on returning as soon as we can!

Aagvil was the front desk receptionist who gave the best impression of what a true vacationing at Fort Lauderdale is all about. Great property and spectacular view. Wonderful staff and on top of that the breakfast buffet was yummy! Best experience ever!

My husband and I had such a lovely day at the beach. Our beach attendant Kylian was just wonderful. He let us be the last ones to leave so that we could enjoy watching the sunset. We appreciated his kindness and attentiveness! Thank you for a special beach day.
