Before our cruise, we stayed one night here with a couple of families and were "blown away" with how FRIENDLY the staff was. From the moment we pulled up and were greeted by the doormen, porters we knew this was not your average hotel. Paris took great care of us when we checked in, and the concierge (also a 30 year plus Delta flight attendant) was one of the friendliest people I have ever met! We were not prepared at how gorgeous the rooms were. WOW! I didn't want to go on the cruise, wanted to stay there all week! We had a one bedroom suite. Just awesome! Can't wait to go back!!

I just checked in to this 'Hotel'. I refer to it as a 'hotel' because it is just that...it is not a resort. And it is not on the Beach. It is situated across a busy road from the beach, a fact that is concealed on the web site. When I booked the hotel, I had the choice between a "water view" room and an "ocean view" room. Since I thought that the ocean would be preferable to a view of the intracoastal, I booked the ocean view. When I arrived, I learned that the only view of the ocean was through a small window or from the balcony, if you turn sideways. It is, nevertheless, only a partial view...unfortunately the other part of the view is your neighbors balcony and the extensive renovation of the adjacent hotel.

When I spoke to the manager, he referred to the web site (because he did not believe me about the description), and after seeing the description, he said that he understood why I thought that my partial view was a real view, but said that he couldn't do anything about it.

All this, and a parking fee of $29 and internet fee of $12.

The room itself is quite nice, but cannot compensate for the lack of view, the misleading site and the dismissive attitude of management. For a small fee more, I have checked into the Trump Beach resort...truly a resort, truly on the beach, fantastic service.

I recently stayed at the Hilton Ft lauderdale Beach Resort for 2 nights on business in a King Studio Suite.

The property and facilities at the hotel are fantastic. The hotel grounds and lobby are well maintained and the staff is friendly, efficient and accommodating.

The room was fantastic. The studio suite had a separate bedroom, living room with a small kitchenette. The bathroom had a whirlpool tub and separate stand up shower with rainshower shower head. The room was immaculate and the housekeeping service cleaned the room perfect everyday. They return at night to replace towels and turn down the bed. The room has a balcony which looked out at the ocean. The balcony had two chairs with a table and two lounge chairs on it and was quite big.

The gym at the hotel was fantastic with modern equipment and lots of it. There was a gym attendant who brought me a towel while I was working out and water. The hotel concierge was very nice and offered me a bottled water when I left the hotel. The hotel, facilities and rooms are great but the staff made it a fantastic stay and what sets apart hotels.

I will definitely return to this hotel next time I am in town and its recommended to all.

My husband was in Ft.Lauderdale for business, so I decided to tag along for a little mini vacation away from the kids so I could get some R and R.

From the moment we walked in the lobby, all attention was on us. The front desk staff were very pleasant and were full of smiles. We received a complimentary upgrade, as we are Hilton Honors members.

Our room was incredible. We had a view of the city and ocean. We were on the side next to the construction, but I must say it really wasn't too bad. The bathroom was nice with a very large tub and walk in shower... and it was HUGE!! Plasma TV in the bathroom and in the living room/sitting area. Nice large kitchen... though we didn't end up using it.

The pool area is very nice.. very comfortable chairs and pool beds with shade. Pool attendants were very attentive. Was offered water mists, frozen fruit, etc. The view from the pool area is absolutely amazing.

We had breakfast at the restuarant next to the pool. They had a very nice breakfast buffet, however, it is a little pricey. We were lucky to get free breakfast with our rooms, another perk for being a Hilton Honors member.

This is a very nice hotel - well worth the price. The beach area is also very clean.. I can't wait to bring my little girls back with me next time!
