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!

Good attention, the bed is very soft and the valet parking has workers who are always aware of everything, that's great. Agusto is very helpful and attentive, that makes us feel welcome. Also, the location of the hotel is amazing and the amenities it has as well.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience. We were met at our car by Augusto Cesar. He unloaded our luggage and waited patiently until we checked in to show us to our room. Then he unloaded our luggage once we reached our room. That’s what I call a five star experience!

Our maintenance person,Terrance was amazing. He responded fast, found the problem, left and was back in two minutes flat. He had it fixed, brought us new towels in less than 20 minutes. Terrance, from the Brox was knowledgeable in his craft, super personable , friendly and even asked if we needed anything else. Thank you kindly sir, Crystal Read less

The bed was the most comfortable. Has a leak in the bathroom and help arrived within 10 of calling the front desk. Maintenance gentleman Terrence was very thorough and polite as well. Bathroom was cleaned and all towels were replaced for all guests.
