This hotel made the begining of our honeymoon awesome. We were on our way to Cancun when hurricane Dean showed up, and we ended up stuck in Fort Lauderdale where our layover was. We spent several hours at the airport trying to figure out where our luggage was, and using the laptop to try and find a hotel. After hours of frustration and searching, we decided to go with the Atlantic. We were so lucky!!
The hotel is gorgeous, it is literally right across the street from the ocean. We had no problems checking in even though we had only booked about fifteen minutes before arriving. Our room was upgraded because they had sold out of the room we requested. We didn't know how many nights we needed to stay, so we only booked one. Turns out we needed two, and the front desk worked to make sure that we got a room even though they were fully booked, and then went out of their way to give us the same room the second night.
Everyone who works here goes out of the way to be friendly and helpful! The room is gorgeous and very clean, very luxurious. Our balcony had two chairs and a table and the most beautiful veiw of the ocean!! We had a stressful two days, talking to dozens of people trying to fix the travel arrangements and save what was left of our honeymoon. The view of the ocean from the floor to ceiling windows was so restful, it calmed us down and helped us keep level heads when dealing with frantic airline personel and resort workers.
Trina, the restaurant, is delicious. It has alot of seafood and not a huge selection of chicken or beef, but the food is fantastic. The creme brulee is the best I've had. Room service is prompt and thoughtful. Every need is taken care of.
We never planned on staying in Fort Lauderdale, and if we had been anywhere else this could have been disasterous, but with the outstanding accomidations, service, and view, this hotel helped us keep the first few days of our marriage/honeymoon serene and relaxed in the face of an unexpected hurricane.
