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!

I can’t say enough about the amazing service we received from Mokrane and the staff at the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach. He tirelessly catered to our every need. He took such amazing care of us that many of our attendees got to know him by name.

The Sonesta Hotel is great atmosphere with exceptional employees. I was checked in by Dionte at the front desk and her energy was quite refreshing and very professional. The rooms are bright and airy with amazing views of the ocean. I would definitely recommend to stay here!
