This was our fourth stay at this hotel and as usual we enjoyed the property, staff, and atmosphere. The hotel is located in the center of Ft. Lauderdale in a nice residential neighborhood called Victoria Park. From here you can walk (about 10-15 minutes) to the main shopping/restaurant street of Las Olas Boulevard. The beach is less than a 10 minute drive but parking can be a little bit of a hassle, so if the beach is a high priority for you, this hotel may not be the right choice for you. There are many hotels near the beach including the Flamingo, Inn Amongst the Flowers, another Ft. Lauderdale favorite of ours.

Pineapple Point is spread out over five or six small buildings. We have stayed in a different room each time and prefer the rooms in the back because they are in new buildings, and in general have larger bathrooms. All the rooms are nice and comfortable with pastel colors and a Caribbean décor. In fact, the look of the hotel could easily pass as a Key West resort.

The amenities of the hotel are great and include two pools, two Jacuzzis, a small gym, living room, sun porch, and a cozy den with a computer for guest use. The basic breakfast is great. Snacks are available all day, and there is wine and beer for happy hour. Water bottles are in your room refrigerator and pool side along with lemonade. We also enjoy using the hotel bikes to go for rides around the area. All these amenities are complimentary.

A real standout at Pineapple Point is the staff. They are very friendly and go out of their way to help you out and make your stay special. They even provided water for our bike rides and are always asking if you need anything.

Our only minor compliant is that there are so many trees on the property, that while creating a lush tropical environment, they also can create many light challenged rooms. This also means at the height of winter, sun at the pool is limited as the day goes on and prime lounge chairs are claimed early on busy days.

Pineapple Point is one of the larger Ft. Lauderdale gay guesthouses and is a fun place to stay. It has many repeat customers so as time goes on, don’t be surprised to run into some familiar faces. The hotel is also large enough to have a diverse group of guests with couples in their 30s and 40s appearing to be the largest group.

Just got back from our second time staying at Pineapple Point and what else can we say...you guys are great! The service cannot be beat! We made it an extra long weekend over the Veteran's holiday and from the moment we arrived, it was like being in paradise.

It's the little things that make Pineapple Point stand above the rest...the snacks, beverages, relaxing atmosphere, chocolates in the late evening in the room, the weather cards, and the list goes on, but again, it is the staff that really excels.

Jim especially, was more than helpful. From taking care of ordering lunch for us, recommending restaurants, etc.

Phil and Judd ~ Look forward to our next visit to Fort Lauderdale and you know we will once again be calling upon you guys for reservations.

  • Liked — The staff, the staff, and the staff!
  • Disliked — Monday morning when we had to checkout :-(

We've stayed at The Pineapple Point 5 or 6 times over the last few years. The owners, Phil and Judd are great guys and alwasy try to upgrade us when they can. The service is amazing and the rooms and suites are lovely. It's great for a couple of days at most. After that it gets old, fast. Considering that the rates rise almost every year, they seem to be getting a bit too steep.

Wow! Can't say enough about this resort. Everything you can imagine in the best of hotels, gorgeous unique furnishings and art in the rooms, amazing sheets and down comfortors. Two private pools with lots of fluffy white towels, sunscreen and magazines to read while relaxing. A very comfortable great room with snacks and cozy couches. If you like jogging or walking, you will love this neighborhood of vintage and new homes, mature trees and quiet streets. Easy stroll to Las Olas or bike to the beach. Loved this place!!!!!! Staff was the best!

We have visited Pineapple Point for many years, but the quality of service is what really stands out about this property. The staff goes to incredible lengths to pamper guests, and when you add that to an immaculately maintained, luxurious property with stunning landscaping, it can't be beat.

I came here to celebrate my 50th birthday, and even with a lot of rain, loved it here. The staff made it very special, with a surprise cake, and upgrade to a suite, and even balloons in the room. They are also warm and friendly, without a trace of attitude.

Owners Phil and Judd ensure that the service is second to none. You can't do better, and frankly I get spoiled by the place when visiting elsewhere.
