All staff we met were incredibly friendly and helpful .. great ocean view and complimentary chairs on the beach was a plus. Pool was warm and clean There’s no self parking. Valet and resort fees were very expensive.. housekeeping gave us new towels but never cleaned to room or replaced coffee and waters .. location was convenient for us

Staff was friendly

Friendly staff

I think the taxes have gone too far. When nearly $90 is added on top of a room rate, it takes away from the enjoyment of the experience. On top of that, Hotels.com is collecting a commission from some of these taxes, which makes the situation feel even more unreasonable. Even Las Vegas has recognized this problem and has begun cutting back. At the very least, Florida residents should have some kind of exemption, or property owners shouldn’t be charged the same way when we’re simply taking a vacation in our own state. These excessive taxes are pushing things past the limit, and it will make me think twice before booking again.

I would only recommend adding smart tvs in the rooms. Its best for late night tv watching before bed. Otherwise, my view was the BEST!

Wonderful stay!

Such a great location, supwr comfortable, price was good. Overall would stay here again!!!

Neach view and very serene!

I loved the beach view

Wonderful stay from the time we checked in to the time we left. Beautiful location, clean and great staff

We stayed here for a night, the front desk lady was really nice. The hotel was run down and not very clean. Resort fee cancel outs the 25 dollar room credit. The pool was not clean. Also, there was a dog on our floor that was left in the room without the owner. It barked loud for an hour until I called the front desk. The hotel reached out to the owner and after about 30 minutes it was resolved. This was at night time so it was very inconvenient. Only good thing is the location. If I book here next time, I would ask to be on the floor without pets.

Loved the property and the location at the end of the strip very quiet -staff lovely and the bartender at the pool was super nice! Thank you for a great stay!

Very accessible to the beach, very clean and eco friendly.

The Sonesta Hotel is a nice property, but I do feel this overrated in really expensive for what it offers. I’ve stayed at many other hotels that are much nicer and less than the amount of money that we spent on this trip. The cost of parking is ridiculous. With the amount that I paid for extra amenities in valet parking, I could’ve stayed three more days at another local hotel.

This is a great property located in a nice part of Fort Lauderdale. It is a bit removed from the heart of Fort Lauderdale, but that makes it a bit quieter, and still just a couple minutes walk from the beach, restaurants, and shops.

The surprise charges for Valet $58/day, Resort Fee $47/day. The rooms are O.K. at best. Menu Prices for food at the restaurant are way out of line. The only positive is the location.

Great spot, LOTS OF HIDDEN FEES, but great spot just super expensive

More amenities for adults,kids more dining options

I was charged a $500 deposit upon arrival which I was not made aware of in the fine print. My room was connected to two adjoining rooms with other guests (traveling alone this felt very unsafe).There is a $46 daily charge for free water bottles, towels and a beach chair (umbrella paid separately for $36 daily) and the maid does not come every day, so you won't get your fresh towels or water bottles some days. The $25 dining credit was useless since I had to sit and wait for over 10 minutes, in which the servers chose to take orders from anyone else but me. When I tried to ask the front desk about the service, they were rude and didn't let me speak until I asked to speak to a hotel manager (decided to be nice after that). Not worth what I paid for, worst birthday trip I could have planned.
