This was my first time staying at a Sonesta property. From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff welcomed us with warm smiles. The pool area is a true gem, surrounded by palm trees and lounge chairs, making it perfect for relaxation. Special shout out to Andy and Cory, the bartenders at Steelpan, the onsite restaurant. They were entertaining and engaging. Our favorite drink there was the Bramble Daiquiri. The room itself was clean and had everything needed for a relaxing stay, including in-room refrigerator and coffee maker. The view of the ocean from the room was perfect. Nearby there are several restaurants, including a pizza place and a Mexican restaurant. Public transportation is excellent in the area. We definitely will make the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach our first choice every time we are in the area!
