Where to Stay in Fort Lauderdale: Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel Thursday 20 July, 2017

Hi All! I am not sure if you know but I just returned back from my international experience in Panama and I am in the states again. I was gone for 3 weeks, and honestly I needed a vacation from my vacation! Have you ever needed that? I sure did I was exhausted from traveling and just the energy of returning back to my life in the states again, so I decided to have some extra R&R in Fort Lauderdale staying at the plush Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel.

I am so happy I made a decision not to go straight home from Panama to Atlanta and relax in Fort Lauderdale for a few days. I never really explored Ft.Lauderdale before, I have always frequent Miami (which is not that far from this city) and staying at the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel was the perfect location to be by the beach and enjoy this chill beach area of Florida! Read more about my amazing stay below and all of the perks and amenities of staying at the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel.

A prime location–and destination among Ft. Lauderdale hotel – accoriding to their website, you can Wake up and go to bed with the ocean breeze right at your door. Ideally located on a seven-mile stretch of the area’s namesake beach for your wading and viewing pleasure–soak it all in at one of the area’s finest Fort Lauderdale beach hotels.

Accommodations

The hotel offers 240 guest rooms, including 23 suites, all of which boast sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Barrier-free and ADA compliant rooms are available.

Featuring panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, each of our 300 square feet Deluxe Ocean King rooms boasts a king bed, Wi-Fi connectivity and a flat screen TV.

When I opened my door to my room I was blown away by my views. It was amazing with these mega windows that illuminated my room completely with natural light and the panoramic view of Fort Lauderdale and the beach. I saw so much beautiful blue water, I instantly felt relaxed and had no need to leave me room anytime soon. Yes there was a beach right there, but sometimes its just as good to admire it as it is to be on the beach.

The panoramic views are outstanding. It was like looking at a postcard in the comfort of my room. I didn’t want to leave. Would you want to with a view like this? Watching the sunrise and the sunset in this room was so magical. Couldn’t beat these spectacular views from these windows.

If you need more water and sunshine, just steps outside the hotel the beautiful famous Fort Lauderdale beach is waiting. Its pretty views from your hotel room, but of course up close is awesome within close proximity.

Overall the stay at the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel was whimsical to me. It was my perfect vacation from my vacation and R&R before I return back to Atlanta. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are ever in the Fort Lauderdale area and to be in great proximity of the famous beach. Whether you want to on the beach or just admire the beach from the comfort of your room, you will feel at peace and serenity staying here. My first time staying at a Sonesta hotel and I was highly impressed and happy of the service, perks and even food.

    I can’t believe how beautiful the views are from your room! Oh my goodness, it’s dreamy. If I was lucky enough to stay there, I think I’d simply stay in my room and order room service. The food looks just as incredible. What a relaxing and peaceful place to vacation. x

  • Karen Akpan says:

    Honestly you’ve sold me on this hotel. The first thing I saw was the view. Omg that view is amazing. I love a room with an ocean view. It makes vacationing so much better. And then I scrolled down to the good pics . I’m such a foodie and the daily incentives was good enough to have me looking up that hotel for the next time we are in Florid 🙂
    And every time I vacation with my kids I need a vacation from my vacation

  • Vera Sweeney says:

    I love the Fort Lauderdale area. We’ve been there a few times, and it’s always a ton of fun! I hope it makes it through the hurricane.
