Beautiful and still in progress”

Very nice hotel with wonderful views of Fort Lauderdale beach. The staff are amazing and we're super patient with me with my questions and enquiries. Loved how clean the room looked and smelled. If in FLL area then this is the hotel for me. Yes there's a resort fee but location alone is worth it for me and get beach access plus other features.

Good Hotel Great Value”

Good location and great price would definitely recommend for anyone visiting fort lauderdale and that wants to be close to all the bars and restaurants but want a good price. Staff was friendly and helpful only thing I think the hotel needs to do is upgrade the pool area

Clean and Inviting”

This was my first visit to FT. Lauderdale Beach. The sand is soft and walking bare foot was wonderful. The water is blue with soothing waves that allow you to relax and enjoy the sun. The hotel was clean, inviting and the room with ocean view made it all worth while. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had the convenience of vegan meal options (including ice cream) from nearby food locations. I will return for another visit.

Nothing short of exceptional! Best staff ever, spotless and beyond friendly. ”

We travel to Florida ever year from Canada. We have tired many nice resorts. This was our first time at sonesta beach resort and it is our new permanent vacation resort . Friendliest staff ever and front desk staff were just amazing . Beach was clean and rooms were beautiful !! Perfect vacation thanks to this resort .

As close to beach without price tag ”

From the moment we walked into the hotel were warmly greeted and that lasted throughout our entire stay. The view from our room was spectacular. Unfortunately the weather was not the best but we were able to watch amazing lightning shows. The pool is small but big enough, always enough towels. The beach is literally right across the street. If you want a good price hotel, great service and close to the beach without paying ridiculous prices, this is the hotel.

Beautiful experience ”

Pros first the location is great for all of your needs. Secondly the beach since I love the beach.RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET!!. Hotel was a little under construction but it did not hinder my beautiful experience here at Sonestra. Cons they do not tell you until after you book that there a daily service charge that they hold on your credit card for taxes and incidentals. I'm watching my cc to see what is left because I didn't do anything to incur charges. STEELPAN is the name of the restaurant downstairs. Order the jerk chicken sandwich great flavor, Joe the bartender is the best. Also Britnay the Hostess was pleasant. All and all great experience.

Sonesta Ft Lauderdale”

nice hotel friendly & helpful staff steelpan restaurant 5* prices 3* service nice beach across street my only concern my wife was aggressively approached by vagrant youths on the front of hotel property

Excellent location, lovely view from spacious room. High standard of customer service”

This hotel is in a fabulous location. Staff are very helpful and polite. Rooms are clean and spacious. Only negative is ‘Resort Fee’ so extra $35 +tax per room per day. Resort fees gives sun beds and towels and ‘daily delights!’ One bottle of water each per day and a coffee machine in room . (Coffee wasn’t good though and of course in UK tea and coffee would be provided in a room anyway). We only took advantage of the sun beds and towels once but still had to pay it the full amount - an additional $150 + to pay for 4 nights which put a negative slant on our stay.

Excellent”

I was naïve to think that there will be parking at the hotel. They only have valet parking and they charge $40 per night for the parking. I think this is a rip off. It seems all the rooms face the water which is wonderful. Close proximity to the beach is a plus. Overall I have a good experience at the hotel.

Great location !”

The beach is just accross the street and within 20 min of everything you need (shopping, restaurants). Two downsides to keep in mind (1) daily fees of 40$ US everyday that you use the beach chairs or not (should add to the room cost) and (2) the noise from ice machine and thin walls (could hear neighboors talking every morning before 7am + loud tv and music).

Holiday”

The hotel was nicely located and we were very happy. The only thing I would say would be it would be nice if more information on the area, attractions and their locations was in your room. It would help when you only had a limited time like we had. Having said that we did enjoy our stay.

missing information”

I was stunned when after paying what I thought was a LOT for a hotel room, I had to pay and additional $40 a DAY for parking! ! ! ! Plus, the car HAD to be parked by Valet! So, on top of the $40 daily feel, the valet drivers expected to be 'tipped'! So, a 5 day stay, and $200 price to the total stay, plus tips! I didn't see any mention of this on the web site!

Visiting for Wedding ”

The staff was so helpful, friendly, & professional. The views were beautiful & location perfect for beach going.

Great location”

A CB little over priced. But it’s March break. And the pool is very small. Otherwise, very nice hotel

Parking charges”

Please make sure you include parking rates on the hotels as part of the listing on your website. I didn’t know there was overnight cost for parking until I arrived.

Good place”

The room and service was great! I only had one instance where this bald head black guy at the front desk stained at my fiancé inappropriately when she had a single question about our stay. Very inappropriate. On another note Suzzette was the greatest at the front desk and she really made sure our stay was great. Great location as well and surroundings with lots to do and eat!

Fantastic location, clean and modern”

We loved it. Will definitely stay there again. Happy Hour is great at the bar for drinks and supper.

Unknown charge”

I was not aware from any of the websites (including their own) that I would be required to pay a daily resort fee. I chose this hotel specifically because it appeared to me that they would not charge me that fee. I also do not feel as though the hotel measured up to the title of a resort. That being said, the staff was awesome and did a wonderful job making us feel welcomed.

A Spring Break Location”

Stayed there for 2 nights for a recent business trip. Hotel was full of college / high-school kids, walking around half-naked or many leaving little to the imagination. Not a place I will choose again for a business visit.

Overall great ”
