Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a stunning view of the beach and park at a fraction of the usual cost in January. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable with plush bedding and great amenities. However, there is a bit of a crowded feeling due to the high number of vagrants on the beach. The service is top-notch with outstanding staff available even during the night. The location is perfect, with beach access and green spaces nearby, although it can attract some unwanted beachgoers. The dining experience is enjoyable, especially when dining at Steelpan during the day. The facilities are well-maintained and offer a pleasant stay.
What a gem of a hotel! The location is simply superb, right across from the beach and surrounded by great dining options. The rooms are spotlessly clean and cozy, and the staff couldn't be friendlier. While the dining experience had its hiccups, the overall stay was fantastic. The price point is reasonable, but there are some additional charges like for Wi-Fi that can add up.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The room was lovely and quiet with a stunning dual aspect view of the beach. The service was top-notch with friendly and welcoming staff. The location, although a bit removed from the city center, was amazing with cozy spaces for relaxation. The dining experience was plentiful and delicious, although there was some confusion about pricing. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a rollercoaster. On the bright side, the rooms we booked weren't available initially due to overbooking, but eventually, the staff managed to find us suitable rooms with an okay standard and size. The view of the beach from the room was absolutely stunning, perfect for catching the sunrise and sunset. However, the check-in process was quite slow, and the mandatory service fee for staff tipping was a downside. The location was convenient, with easy access to attractions in Fort Lauderdale, but walking in the hot sun was a challenge. The dining experience had its bumps, including additional tipping requests and disappointing dishes. On the plus side, the beachfront location and variety of facilities provided great options for entertainment and relaxation.
Despite some issues with room availability and a damp smell, the hotel staff eventually managed to accommodate us. The service was excellent, and the location was very convenient for the beach and local attractions. Dining was a mix of positives and negatives, but overall a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, offering superb views of the sea, park, and marina. The service was great overall, but there were some hiccups with room cleaning. The location was perfect, just across the street from the beach, close to restaurants and shops. The dining experience was satisfying but had some pricing confusion. The facilities were excellent, especially the poolside amenities.
The hotel offers a wonderful beach view and a partly park view from the $300+/night room, with the higher floors boasting even better ocean views. The service is attentive, with personalized touches such as towel sculptures and familiar staff remembering guests. The bustling location near the beach and dining options stands out despite some noise disruptions near service areas at night. The dining experience is somewhat mixed, with an additional mandatory service fee for tipping plus extra tipping suggested on the bill. Facilities provide a mix of positive and negative experiences, balancing convenience with noise disturbances.
