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!

J.P. The valet guy was great, great customer service. Friendly attitude and even gave great restaurant recommendations! Always upbeat and ready to help when we arrived at the hotel. We definitely will return and use valet! JP thanks for making our stay great!

The old Bath almost on the floor, Room cold, room thermostat can’t be programme, another room offered but too much trouble to move.. retuning at 11.30 pm, room not cleaned. No towels, or bed made. The floor was filthy. We were given a free breakfast voucher, then the waiter gave us a bill, and said not fully complimentary. Reception staff were amazing, especially Jet and Rosa, our grateful thanks to them. They deserve to be rewarded, Having stayed at Sonesta Hotels, my biggest mistake was booking the Sonesta at Fort Lauderdale. Read less

Rosa was the best. She greeted us right away upon arrival. Our flight came in early and she kindly explained all of our options and informed us about the hotel’s rewards program. Thank you Rosa for your hospitality and helping us to start our vacation on a good note!

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.
