El hotel bueno pero no confien que llevan pagado todo anticipado. La reserva en expedia contempla un fee del hotel, pero al llegar el hotel cobra otro fee adicional diario. La propuesta de expedia es que no van gastos y/o costos adicionales escondidos, pero no es así. Y cuando se le pregunta al hotel que ya hay un fee del hotel cobrado desde la reserva de Expedia no hay quien valide la información y simplemente cobran, el supervisor pésima actitud para apoyar. Así también, el restaurante se maneja por separado al hotel, y aunque elijan la opción de desayuno incluido, cobran las propinas y costos adicionales sin pasar la cuenta ni explicación de lo que le están cobrando. Por todo lo demás, muy cómodo, limpio y buena ubicación.

Had to pay for valet parking- they did not help with luggage or anything else besides parking the car. Hotel was dated. Small room. Kids couldn’t use bathtub bc old/ dirty in appearance. Lots of extra fees I was unaware about. Also Expedia said $10/day to use. Hotel said it was only $10 period and it was a one time use at the sit down restaurant only.

Doesn't have all the amenities of fancier resorts and is on a bit of an island at the northern end of the beach, but it's a solid base of operations with a nice enough pool and a small little neighborhood around it.

Hotel is across the street from the beach, it is convenient. Pool is small, but seems cozy enough. One restaurant to eat at in the hotel, but expensive and not that great! We did eat there 1 time, but didnt plan on eating there every day. When we ordered food to go from an outside restaurant was reprimanded for sitting at a table outside near the pool, even tho no one else was using the tables at all. If we had gotten drinks from the bar would they have reprimanded us for sitting and eating. Maybe not, but who knows! One of the employees told us we would need to eat in the lobby! Kinda crazy. We r paying guests at the hotel and eating by the pool til time to leave for the airport. To me, this is not hospitable! This hotel was ok, it wasnt high class, usually had to call for towels and coffee cups to replenish the room. Three occupants and only had 2 towels each night and only coffee cups the first night. Im a little salty that we were reprimanded for the outside food. This unfortunately has clouded my view to stay here in the future!! You tend to remember how people made you feel!

We had a wonderful stay at Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach and would absolutely return.

One of our favorite parts was the easy access to the beach. Having beach chairs included as hotel guests made it so convenient to relax and fully enjoy the ocean. The views from our room were beautiful and really added to the whole experience.

The breakfast brunch was outstanding and definitely a highlight of our stay. The only downside was that during the busy time, they seemed a bit understaffed. Our waitress was clearly stretched thin, but she handled everything with such a positive attitude, which we really appreciated.

The pool area was phenomenal, clean, inviting, and a great place to unwind. What truly stood out, though, was the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant and memorable experience.

Overall, a great stay with just a small opportunity for improvement during peak dining hours. We would definitely recommend it.

We used to stay in this hotel for years but haven’t been there for few years. I have to say that we arrived super early & they still had us checked in so that was very helpful. The hotel in general is worn out a bit. Swimming pool was crowded on our first day there. Staff @ the swimming pool bar are super nice and food was good. We paid for breakfast when we booked our hotel stay and @ check out it was charged again, but the lady @ the check out counter apologized and fix the bill. I mainly have two complaints, first the bathroom from the next door room was very loud, we could hear the facet water, flush and shower very loudly in our room. Secondly on our last night, we came back around 10 Pm & the bathroom ceiling was leaking a bit but the kids were very tired and we didn’t want to call & have someone come in. We put a towel on the floor as it was dripping from one area and just a bit. Kids woke up at night to use the bathroom but the whole floor was water and ceiling is dripping from so many places. We had to put all the towels on the floor. My kids step in it and was not sure how clean is it? As soon as we woke up for breakfast, we went & told them. They didn’t apologize or anything but they said they will send someone to fix it while we are in breakfast. They did but we were surprised that they left the bathroom in a very disgusting way. More water on the floor, dirt falling off from the ceiling pieces that they took off to fix. Kids refused to use the bathroom.

Sonesta was a pleasant place to visit. Our room was nice. The view of the house ocean is what it nice. I’m not into places that price goug you. Since I rented a car they charge you $58.00 plus tax per night you visit. I work in the he hospitality industry and I’m watching the demise of Las Vegas due to the greed. Also the lighting to enter the valet is so dark that I missed it twice and had to go around the block. Nice place to stay but use an Uber to get around.

We absolutely loved our stay! We arrived from our flight way early and the staff manager was overly accommodating and helped us feel right at home. We loved the location, further down the strip but it was so convenient. We used the pool and beach all day. The hotel restaurant and staff was amazing. Shout out to Steve the bartender. Lots of couples and families. Facility is beautiful with just minor repairs needed from wear. They even gave us a day pass for the final day as our flight out was super late. I can’t recommend them enough.

Our stay was overall okay. The staff was friendly and provided good service, which we appreciated. However, we were a bit disappointed because there were private events scheduled on both days of our stay. During those times, we weren’t able to enjoy amenities like happy hour or the pool’s bar, which was a big part of why we chose this hotel. It was a decent experience, but we didn’t get to fully enjoy everything the hotel had to offer.

I was charged a daily fee of $45 that I was not made aware of when I booked through Orbitz. Nor was this fee mentioned when I checked in. The attendant at Sonesta told me it was through Orbitz and Orbitz is telling me it's the hotel's responsibility. This is apparently typical practice at hotels in Florida and they conveniently leave out this detail when checking into a hotel and Orbitz does not mention this when booking a trip.

Fantastic hotel but a bit dated. Stunning view and friendly staff. Great breakfast and homemade omeletts and pancakes are awsome . The dinner in the evening lacks customers . It is not the most cozy setup and it was cold inside due to the wind . But works fantastic for breakfast with the view.
The rooms are a bit dated all over but it is CLEAN . The warmed up pool is GREAT. We will be back ,

Honestly, pretty disappointing stay. The pool area was consistently trashed—like no one was even checking on it throughout the day. The water stations were rarely refilled, so don’t expect basic amenities to be maintained.

Housekeeping was just as bad. We constantly had issues with not having enough towels in the room, and the trash wasn’t taken out regularly. It felt like basic upkeep just wasn’t a priority here.

For the price, you’d expect way better attention to cleanliness and service. Would not stay again.

I hardly ever give reviews, but this place was so bad I feel I must say something. Traveling for 25 years in 4 star hotels, service was horrible at front desk. Ask about a restaurant right around the corner, and lady said she has been there 10 years and never heard of it. It’s Ozzie’s and it was great. No room service, no one asked about our stay or greeted us or said thank you in checking out. Spend your hard earned dollars somewhere else like the Westin!

Staff was incredibly cordial, a follow up phone call to make sure the room was up to par after check in was impressive. Beach chairs are very comfortable and staff at the beach is ready to accommodate your needs. Highly recommend this property for families. Our roo ocean view was beautiful and we even got to watch the sunrise from our beds since it was drizzling that morning. I will definitely stay at this property again!

Well my stay started off being a bit uneasy but in the end it was quite a pleasant stay! I thought the room was not ideal at first as I got a bit confused and mixed up with the sofa bed. The sofa bed do actually opens up nicely into a bed to sleep 2. The King bed was really soft and comfy. My mom had good nights rest. I had some hiccups with my bill but it was sorted out and the hotel took care of my other charges for the inconvenience. I was so surprised by this as I traveled all around and this was a first for me! Excellent team at this hotel as I realized they take pride and ensure their guests are comfortable and happy. At the hotel restaurant it also was the same as the staff were ensuring guests were comfortable. I would totally stay again and recommend others to stay!

Beach view was awesome! Room was beautiful with a couple of worthy coments. The bed I was in was so slanted-the mattress was bad so that really affected my sleep. I finally got to sleep sometime after 3 and an alarm went off at 6 (probably set by the previous renters). We complained to the staff about the mattress and they immediately moved us to another room and our second room had perfect beds. Please tell the staff that cleans, to check the alarm. That one night of lost sleep really affected the rest of my short vacation. I'm 70 and sleep is really important to me. I was so severely exhausted- it ruined my trip. Why do none of the rooms have a microwave. That should be in every room!

The property was clean and the staff was helpful. My only complaint is the unexpected extra fees — there’s a $48 per day “day use” charge for access to the pool and fitness center, which felt excessive. Additionally, valet parking is $58 per day, and since there’s no self-parking available on the property, it’s not really optional.
