The hotel has a modern, chic feel to it. I liked the location as well, close to cute restaurants (walking distance). I also liked their heated pool as well. The downside- parking is expensive and not included. Also, the hotel room is small, while the restroom is huge. odd...

The Hotel was very clean. The Staff was helpful but not well trained. Confusion at the front desk, as well as room service didn't get the order right once. Some of the rooms had a nice size kitchen and a full refrigerator. The beds were very comfortable. But the chairs in the rooms were not. Not all of us like... More

No complaints here. We stayed prior to a cruise a few years back. RELAXING pool area with great view. We didnt have a chance to eat in the restaurant but had a nice breakfast poolside. Very convenient location- not far from South Beach or Biscayne. Great local restaurants within walking distance. Pleasant staff. The room was modern and clean. We... More

The Sonesta Bayfront Hotel located in Coconut Grove is in a convenient spot, unfortunately the experience wasn't one to remember. For what you pay to stay you would expect a first-class experience, not a budget motel feel. If this hotel was located almost anywhere else in the US it definitely wouldn't be able to charge over a $100 at most.... More

At first, we were very impressed by this hotel. The view was nice, the rooms were classy and comfortable, etc. Then, when a mysterious $47 charge showed up on my bank statement, I got suspicious. I called the hotel to find out they had a very long list of items "purchased" from the mini bar, none of which my friend... More

We chose the Sonesta Bayfront in Coconut Grove as we did not want to rent a car while in Miami pre-cruise. We were there for 5 nights.The location of the Sonesta Bayfront is ideal.
