I have stayed at the Courtyard Villa in 2010 and 2011 and intend to stay in 2012. I have not wrote a review before and found some of the reviews on here not very fair to the hotel. Altough it is not 5 star is is comfortable and has fantastic access to the beach and the shops. Staff are really... More

Admidst the mess that most Fort Lauderdale hotels are due to young tourists and spring breakers we were happy to find peace and quite here. Room Five is very spacious. we paid $130 a night....as others stated a few of the other rooms are much smaller. Room five has full size sleeper sofa, coffee table, queen bed with two nightstands...

Don't get room 4!!!!!!!! So small you can't move with 2 people, roaches dead in the drawer and alive on the floor, and the hardest, worst bed I have ever slept in!!!!!! This room is oceanfront but the blinds where falling apart so there was not much privacy. After complaining, we were offered another room that was much larger and... More

We certainly feel bad that this couple did not enjoy there stay-they were here with a group of others who did enjoy there time here at the Courtyard Villa. We are an older, yet very clean hotel yet just like any other place of business might not be for everyone. Yes the room was one of our smallest but they... More

The view from our room was spectacular, and the ocean breezes across the balcony were wonderful except when people barbequed. BBQ should be moved someplace else. The hot tub was great, but a lot of other things did not work: lights in the room, keys in the door, door handle on the french doors, ice machine - and the soda... More

I thought the place looked nice from the picture shown here. However, this place is a DUMP! I would have settled for $50 - $60 for the night but not the $200 I was scammed for. I stayed in the room for about fifteen minutes than walked out and made plans elsewhere. Attempted to call staff but never answered or... More

We at the Courtyard Villa are sad to see this type of review, we always want all of our guests to be happy and we go above and beyond to ensure their stay is pleasurable. However, with this guest we were not given an opportunity to address any concern he may have had at the time. He did not leave... More

I attended a wedding here and everythin was pretty good. The employees were nice and everything seemed clean. I would expect wifi to work in my room which it didn't but it did work in the lobby. I had a great time and would definitely stay here again. More

The Courtyard Villa has become the place we go to when we come down to Ft. Lauderdale. Because we have family and friends in the area, we come down at least once a year and are hoping to get down more often..For approximately 15 years, we stayed at the Courtyard off and on. When we couldn't get in there we... More

Our recent stay at the Courtyard Villa was truly a pleasure, from the welcoming we received upon check in and the courteous manner in which or reservation was handled. My husband planed this surprise weekend for me and I was very happy with the room he selected, Room 6. This hotel is a small, private hidden treasure. As event planners,... More

we got to the hotel on a late friday night, and the key was right where the attendant said it would be. Opening the door to the front you are hit with a stale, musty odor that knocks you over. the room was described to me by the person on the phone as able to "walk out onto the beach".... More

We set out to see the fireworks by the ocean and came across this charming little hotel. The staff was friendly and courteous and made us feel like family. They went out of their way to assure our stay was fun and had everything we needed. The kids had a great time playing in the sand and we could sit... More
