We only spent two nights here before heading North, but our stay was very nice. It's an older but very elegant hotel. Very well cleaned and maintained. Unfortunately we had a loud neighbor the first night, but Jerry at the front desk (who is amazing!) quickly relocated us to a different room that was significantly better. The pool was the highlight here, especially for our five year old. Beautiful beach and ocean views, but we prefer swimming in the pool. We wish we had more time here and will definitely stay again if in Fort Lauderdale. See Jerry at the front desk, he will take care of you, he's the best!!!

Bad Customer Service

Reviewed By Keith20202020

Seems like a great place to stay, although we missed our trip due to the tropical storm and cancelled flight. Lost our bags, got stranded at the airport and couldn't get to the hotel. They refuse to credit any of the stay since we "didn't call in time". I won't be trying to stay there again due to the lack of customer service/compassion and having paid for a service we never received that was out of our control.

Staycation in Fort Lauderdale

Talk about serendipity! A wrong turn ended up with us having one of the best vacation experiences ever!!!! On our way to another hotel, we accidently turned into the wrong entrance and ended up at Ocean Manor Beach Resort. Figured we would check it out since we were already there. Met Rafael at the front desk. What an asset he is to the resort!!!! He is a phenomenal manager!!!! He was so welcoming, friendly and professional, that I was encouraged to make the reservation. We got the room with the balcony. The pricing was more than reasonable and oh my gosh...the room!!!! It was incredibly clean and so spacious!!! I instantly fell in love with it! I also loved the fact that the beach was literally a step away from the property. It was such a joy being able to enjoy that marvelous scenery and get to walk along the beach anytime we wanted! We spent three days there and before we left, we were already planning our next vacation there!!! :-)

Award winning customer service

Reviewed By Kmtnmomof3

We enjoyed an extended weekend stay and was completely blown away! The customer service alone is amazing. Special thanks to Jelletta., Johnathan, Rosa, Arjay, and Carolina. Your smile faces and welcoming spirits make the trip! We had a minor issue and Shenoya was quick to fix it before we had time to even be annoyed. The view from the panoramic corner rooms are amazing and perfect to people watch. We’ll definitely ask for a higher floor next time. The street - car noise is noticed but our busy days had us wiped out so it was ok. Breakfast is pricey and just wasn’t worth it in my opinion. However, Happy Hour made up for it! We absolutely can’t wait to come back! Sonesta hopefully will become our go to place.
