CONS: First, be careful - they are charge happy with your credit card and you can pay for nothing in cash. Everything goes on your room and you will be surprised at the added fee's. Also was surprised when I came back from an outing to find not only the maid in my room but three other gentleman inspecting the... more

Located in a residential part of Fort Lauderdale we had read some complaints that it is difficult to find but our GPS had no trouble. In fact that was part of the charm of the Lago Mar that it was not just another high rise hotel along the beachfront, this meant that it was also quiet, no loud bars or... more

A very fine, comfortable and family friendly hotel located on the beach. We stayed here for 3 nights in July 2008, and we loved this hotel!! The hotel had a big parking lot, quick check in, friendly staff, and well-sized suite with separate living room. Our suite had a nice view over the swimming pool, beach and ocean. Our suite... more

I was very impressed with the hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Access to the beach was great. The beach was nice and quiet. Definitely a family hotel though. My boyfriend and I went on a romantic getaway and it was perfect for us. There weren't too many young couples there - mostly families with young kids but... more

The physical building was very nice as was the beach, but that was the saving grace of this hotel. The rooms were very dated, and the service was unpolished and distracting. I drove around for 20 minutes trying to find the hotel, waited 10 minutes to check in (there was no one ahead of me - the place was empty).... more

Check-in was quick and painless - we got there early coming off a cruise and they were able to accomodate us which was great. Had a room overlooking the beach, and as... more

My wife & I spent 4 nights here after a drive up from 3 nights in Key West and a day at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo. Our room at Lago Mar, on the 4th floor, was fine. We ate at a number of restaurants in the area, Pazzo's, 15th St Fishery (twice at the dockside area where... more

I was looking for a nearby locale for a short getaway (I live in Broward County) and found Lago Mar. It seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. From the moment we arrived, it was the right choice. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The hotel is a little out of the way but just... more

My family and I (a 9 month old and an almost 3 year old) selected the Lago Mar for it's location and supposed 4 star reputation. Let me first say that the property is beautiful and well maintained. The staff is very friendly and family focused. The grounds allow for children to play as well as for adults to relax.... more
