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!

Overbearing Perfume smell in the small Lobby is offensive especially to allergy sufferers. Bathrooms are small and dated… Needs an upgrade badly. Overpriced for the quality. The ocean view from room 913 was superb!! Ford in Valet was a real gentleman. We definitely can do much better for the price.
