Loved the hotel itself. The room was big and nicely decorated. Nice big window one looking the beach. The bed was really comfortable and you could walk to lots of places. The bathroom was nice and big, HOWEVER this is my only complaint and negative comment about the hotel…..there was mould in the bathroom shower all over the ceiling. The grout was filthy and could have also been mould it was hard to tell. Also half of the grout was gone, cracked off

Nice hotel not as good location

The hotel is very nice although quite a good walk to the bars and restaurants- the resort fee and valet are also very high and to be fair you don’t get a lot for the resort fee. Probably would not stop here again due to location and high extra costs.

The Sonesta was a great choice after looking at a lot of properties in the area. Very quiet area of the beach even during spring break. Loved the beach across the street and the fact that there were nice chair and could rent an umbrella. The gentlemen working there were so lovely - Arturo went out of his way when I misplaced my credit card. He had lots of recos for food too! Short uber to Los Olas and could walk to the Galleria mall. The hotel is a really nice size - we had a great ocean view with big windows. Rooms were very clean and well furnished. No noise in the hallways at all. The staff were great and very accommodating - we got early check in. Nice restaurant with lots of options. The pool area isnt huge but was never overcrowed and has a great set up for shade or sun and a bar area. My daughter and I felt very safe and often there was security on site. Everyone was warm and friendly. Perfect for a 5 day stay- we didnt want to leave!

What I didn’t like: Front desk staff unwelcoming and bland, except Cylina Forker. She was polite and nice. The men outside especially JP were extremely accommodating. The wait staff as well were nice in the restroom. Housekeeping inattentive. No new cups. Didn’t change obviously dirty bed comforter. Didn’t clean bathroom or refill body wash container. Didn’t refill tissue container. I’ve been a Sonesta member since 2019 but WILL NOT stay here again. Too many choices.
