America’s Sonesta Hotels Expands Its Family-Friendly Offerings with Yoto’s Cutting-Edge Screen-Free Audio Devices Elevating Kids’ Experiences to New Heights

Sonesta Hotels introduces Yoto’s screen-free audio players, offering kids a fun and creative way to enjoy stories and music during family vacations.

Sonesta International Hotels (Sonesta) is thrilled to announce an exciting new collaboration with Yoto, a recognized leader in children’s audio entertainment. This partnership aims to elevate the family experience at Sonesta Hotels, Resorts & Cruises (SHR&C) properties, providing young guests with a fun and engaging way to enjoy screen-free content during their stays.

A Game-Changer for Family Stays at Sonesta Properties

As part of its ongoing efforts to make stays more enjoyable for families, Sonesta has introduced the Yoto Player at select SHR&C locations. This device is designed to enhance kids’ travel experiences by offering an immersive, screen-free alternative to digital entertainment. With the addition of Yoto Players, families at participating Sonesta locations—such as Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach, Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island, and Sonesta Anaheim Resort Area—will now have access to an exciting, educational, and distraction-free experience.

How the Yoto Player Works for Families
. Each participating hotel will offer five Yoto Players for guests to borrow, ensuring every family has the opportunity to engage in this special screen-free experience. The device comes with headphones, a card case, and a pack of Yoto Originals audio cards that feature a variety of content. These cards include everything from interactive stories and educational content to music and creative activities.

By borrowing the Yoto Player, children can explore new stories, learn new things, and enjoy creative fun, all in a safe, screen-free environment. Each kit is designed to be easy to use and can be returned to the front desk before check-out. This convenient and family-friendly offering adds a unique and thoughtful element to Sonesta’s already outstanding guest experience.

This initiative is available exclusively for Sonesta Travel Pass members who are traveling with children. However, guests who aren’t yet members can easily sign up during their stay to take advantage of this exciting offering.

Exclusive Promotions for Sonesta Guests

To kick off the partnership, Sonesta is offering a limited-time summer promotion for guests participating in the Yoto Player program. After using the Yoto Player, guests will be invited to complete a survey regarding their experience. Those who submit their feedback will receive a 15% discount on a future Yoto Player purchase, encouraging families to continue enjoying this new entertainment at home.

This giveaway allows families to bring home a piece of their vacation experience, offering hours of entertainment on the go.

The Sonesta Kids Crew: Uniting Fun, Discovery, and Imagination

This collaboration with Yoto is part of Sonesta’s broader initiative to enhance its family offerings through the Sonesta Kids Crew program. This new program, branded as “Big Adventures for Little Travelers! Whether through hands-on craft activities, nature walks, or other interactive experiences, Sonesta’s Kids Crew activities are designed to engage children and create lasting memories.

Incorporating Yoto into the Sonesta Kids Crew program takes it to the next level, providing children with screen-free audio experiences that stimulate their imaginations. From listening to beloved audiobooks to exploring educational content, Yoto’s library encourages children to embark on their own audio adventures, all in a safe, screen-free environment. With its focus on creativity and independent learning, the Yoto Player is an ideal addition to Sonesta’s already robust suite of kid-friendly activities.

Sonesta Anaheim Resort Area
