The beach view was everything! The room itself wasn’t the cleanest . The fact that the hotel was right across from the beach was perfect! The staff on the other hand had us in a room with no access to the TV. Called for hours and were told a lot of BS! After traveling from GA for vacation we were finally switched to another room around midnight. The second room we were in was a bigger upgrade but dirtier than the first room we were in. All in all the restaurant served amazing food, valet parking is $63 per pull out, beach chairs are included but the umbrellas aren’t, the pool was nice, outside bar was convenient, and all in all everything was on the strip, restaurants , liquor stores, bars, ETC

We had a very pleasant stay at the Sonesta. From the moment we arrived, the valet staff were extremely courteous, friendly, relaxed, and respectful.

The Front Desk service was wonderful. I don’t remember the name of the lady who assisted us, but she had short brown hair and glasses. She was extremely kind and helpful, explained our credits and services, and helped us change our ocean-view king room to a more comfortable room with two beds. She is an excellent staff member.

I also want to recognize two restaurant staff members who were especially caring toward my mother, who was experiencing high blood pressure. The young brunette breakfast server even remembered the next morning what my mother had eaten and brought her tea and fruit. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us. The gray-haired gentleman serving lunch was equally kind and made sure my mother’s meat was prepared exactly as she needed it.

Things could be improved: the pool is very small for an 11-story hotel during summer season. Please think to add another pool space to the property, and some bathtub tiles needed a deeper scrub. The pool/bar also seemed understaffed; I requested a mimosa and drinks menu and after about 10 minutes it never arrived.

Despite these details, we had a very good experience. The kindness and genuine care shown by the valet, Front Desk staff, and restaurant staff made us feel truly welcome. We would definitely consider staying at Sonesta again. Thank you!

It was a nice building and it was right in front of the beach. We had issues with our air conditioning and the room smelling like weed. We notified them and they did not act like they were concerned that we had to stay in those conditions when we checked out they told us next time they would let security handle it. I probably won’t stay there again there are cheaper places with same amenities. The cleaning people were very nice.

Not much to improve....the property is clean and well kept, the staff is absolutely friendly from the valet parking, front counter, the restaurant waiters and housekeeping. The room was very spacious with a REALLY comfortable bed, and the view......OMG.
Steps from the beach, restaurants and not far from anything.
Definitely will stay again. My wife and I think we found our decompression and relaxation place from the everyday grind.
Thanks for a great experience.

This was an excellent and exceptional stay!! I planned my wedding reception there as well as my vacation stay. My wedding was planned to be on the beach but weather changed my plans. The hotel Events Team saved my special day!! The adjusted and set up for me to have my wedding inside. Everything was seamless. They made me and my family of 17 feel like royalty!! That’s who this hotel is!! Excellent Service!! Exceptional and Caring Professionals!! I’ll stay here over and over again!!

The staff member who checked us in was blatantly laughing nearly the entire time he was processing our arrival and it was unsettling and made for an awkward interaction. I did inquire what was so funny, and he apologized, but kept doing it. Unprofessional. Then, he said he was going to upgrade us to an oceanFRONT room, we already had and oceanSIDE view, but when we walked into our room, that did not happen. We did not revisit this and just let it be. Our shower had no curtain; we called and issue was fixed. They only outlets to plug into were in the bedside lamps and they did not work. That was frustrating because we could not charge our devices.
From the pictures on the site, it looked as though the pool was between hotel and beach and it was not. It was on side away from beach and it was very small - not like site images. We had extremely noisy neighbors for two nights between 11pm-4am. We finally complained the second night - it helped little. I cannot recommend this hotel, nor will we return.

The room was smaller than expected. While it is advertised as having an ocean view, it actually overlooks the park more than the ocean.

One issue was the air conditioning—the vent blows past the bed and toward the sofa, so the bed doesn’t stay as cool as the rest of the room.

The lobby staff was friendly and welcoming. However, some of the pool staff came across as less accommodating, which took away from the overall experience.

One suggestion would be to refill the complimentary water stations in both the lobby and pool area more frequently. With the South Florida heat, the water runs out quickly and is greatly appreciated by guests.

Be aware that parking is not included and is charged separately. Paying nearly $200 for parking for just two nights felt excessive. There is also a separate resort fee, so the additional charges add up quickly. Overall, the hotel has some positives, but the value didn’t match the total cost once all the extra fees were included.

The hotel was decently nice. Definitely not as upscale, and some minor work needed, but a nice hotel. The breakfast was good, lots of choices and great staff. My only issue was that this hotel charges you if you eant an umbrella for your beach chairs. You would think the hotel would provide an umbrella. Also, they out away the beach stuff before sunset, so even if you wanted to sit on the chairs and enjoy the sunset you couldnt.

Room was good, staff was at times confused and most importantly it was strange breakfast. Why do I need to purchase (breakfast included) if I spend pretty much the same money ordering it in the restaurant there? There is no buffet or anything, its literally restaurant open for public.

There was an issue with plumbing and at first the person at the desk suggested we wait till morning but my husband ask them to bring a plunger so he could take of as we didn't want to go the night without use of the toilet. Really the staff should have taken care of that but they didn't. Also the cable was out the night we checked in. He was working the next day. They shower was OK but could have been cleaner.

Beware, that there is no free parking here. I guess I skimmed over the part where it said no free parking. I saw there was valet parking. But didn’t see the no free parking part. So was forced to pay an extra $58 a day for parking (used handicap anyhow and vehicle never once was driven by valet) but still had to pay. So on top of the $2-300 had to pay at property, had another $300+ in valet parking charges. I would have searched for another staying option tbh if I’d have known all the extra charges.

This place was perfect for our girl's weekend. Clean, quiet, and the perfect short walk to the beach, busier hotel area South, and to a Publix. The in-house restaurant was fantastic and has a really cheap happy hour (get the 50 cent guava jerk wings, they're soooooo good), and they serve drinks directly to the pool area. I would 100% stay here again.
