“We loved Seagate resort !”

Sea Gate Beach Resort

Jul 13, 2008

We were a bit hesitating about where to stay in Fort Lauderdale and ended up in Seagate Resort after some internet research.
Well, nothing to say except this small resort has it all: close to the beach (2 blocks), quiet area, swimming pool, nice rooms and good prices!
Sharon (the manager) is absolutely fantastic !! She helped us look for nice places to visit, called some friends of her to help us as well, looked on internet which place to go in the keys, upgraded our room, kept some luggages while we were visiting other places....amazing lady ! we were supposed to stay for only 2 nights in the resort, and ended up staying there more than 10 nights...always coming back to this place as we were sure we'd like it !
Sharon, if you ever get to read this message, well, thanks again for the nice stay we've had with you, we really enjoyed it ! I hope to see you around again. Say hi to Nath and Scott if they are still there.
I would recomand this resort without an hesitation !

“Roaches, ants, dirt and bed bugs should be the name of this dump!!”

Sea Gate Beach Resort

May 21, 2008

I decided to book this dump even after reading the negative reviews. BIG MISTAKE!! I spoke with the manager sharon, and she made up lies about the negative tripadvisor reviews. Upon arrival the room smelled like damp wet basement. There were huge roaches crawling everywhere. Also there were swarms of ants crawling around the dead roaches. Floor was dirty like it had never ever been mopped. That night I pulled back the covers and saw little bugs crawling around on the bed (bed bugs). My kids and I were stuck there for the night because we arrived late at night. We had to all squeeze on the dirty couches because of the bugs crawling around in the beds. We could not fall asleep due to the filthy conditions (scared something would crawl on us). The next morning asked for our money back for the remaining nights we paid for but the manager sharon refused and got very hostile and started yelling and screaming at me and calling me names like she was posessed (not kidding). She kicked us out and threatened to call the police if we were not out in 5 minutes (very,very rude). So we just took a loss because there was no way we were going to stay another day in this dump!!! Do yourself a favor and never stay here, It will be one of the biggest mistakes of your life!!!

Disgusting, ants coming out in the kitchen, huge *living* cockroaches in the bathroom, wiggly toilet that’s not even fixed to the floor, dirty stained sinks, … you see the picture. Not a recommendable place.

what these people are really saying is that because we did not have wireless for them they decided on there last day that they were not happy. I saw them enjoying the pool, the beach, the sun at the pool, the bbq, and the gardens every day that they were here.
They came to me almost everyday and were very nice and happy and told me directly how much they loved the Seagate.
Sorry for the wireless but they told that we did not have wireless yet.
We will have wireless soon...
thanks sharon

“Great Place; Great People”

Sea Gate Beach Resort

Apr 28, 2008

My friends and my partner and I stayed here pre and post sailing lessons in April. We were granted a late check out when we asked for it the first stay, and an early check in when we came back. The rooms were clean and spacious. The grounds were well kept with a nice pool area and various sitting areas. The location is excellent, being only about two blocks away from the beach and lots of restaurants.
The manager, Sharon, and the other two ladies who work there (whose names I cannot remember) were SUPER friendly and made us feel instantly welcome and at home.
I would recommend Seagate for people looking for great service and good value.

“Nice suprice!”

Sea Gate Beach Resort

Apr 26, 2008

Sea Gate Resort served us perfectly. Me and my girlfriend came for sun and sea. The location was great, only few minutes to the Beach.

Everything worked very well, thou I must say that the rooms need some renovation. But no complains!

The best suprise the was the heated pool. Oh, it was like bird moms baby milk -absolutely loved it!

The proximity of The Gallery Mall was nice, we walked there several times. Although I would recommed having a car because on the beach area there ain't many dining places.

Overall GREAT STAY and would stay there again!

Don't expect too much and you get suprised. If you usually stay at Hilton hotels - stay away from here!
