Hotel is right on the beach which was exactly what I was looking for. Staff was excellent in every way. Great private beach, nice pool and lounging area if you want sun without the sand. Had breakfast and lunch there and the food was good. The prices at the tiki bar were a little high for what you got but... More

The best thing about this hotel is the location right on the beach and the pool. You're pretty much always able to get a chair at the pool. The cheap parking is a plus too. Don't plan on spending much time in the room if you stay here because the walls are paper thin. They say that the rooms have... More

I loved the design of this hotel as everything is on one floor. Although I didn't get to use the small but adequate fitness room or the restaurant with a very nice menu, it was good to know that they were there! I loved the patio and the pool that looked right over the ocean. I also liked the way... More

As you mentioned, we are one of the very few hotels in Ft Lauderdale that is directly on the beach and not across the street from it. We are very fortunate in that regard. We hope that you stay with us many times and enjoy the facilities. Thank you. Paul Cahaly General Manager More

This is a great hotel with a superb location, right on the beach. The staff are great, and so is the pool and jacuzzi. Our room had two double beds, fridge, microwave, even free coffee in the room. A few shops nearby and just a short drive from restaurant, shopping, and more. Book this hotel if you're looking to visit... More

Great stay on the beach after cruise for one night; we were able to get room at 11am which was very nice. The beach chairs and umbrella cost 20 bucks per day, but the pool chairs are free; towels provided. A nice oceanfront hotel value choice.
