Definately not a 4 Star Hotel. I'll start off with the maid service and or lack there of...Our maid would never leave enough towels and if you left something hanging on a towel rack to dry...she would not leave the towels for that rack....On one occasion our room was not maid up until well after 4 PM....and only after we notified the front desk...what seemed strange though was we shared a common hallway with another room and the maid was exitting the hallway as we arrived from the beach after 4 PM...we though nothing of this...thinking she was cleaning the adjourning room...until the occupant of the adjourning room returned at 11:30 PM and had to call for house keeping...SINCE HIS ROOM HAD ALSO NOT BEEN CLEANED...so my question is...if the maid was not cleaning the rooms....what was she doing??

Not a big deal...but in a 4 Star Hotel you would not expect the carpet to be lifting between rooms as our's was by the bathroom...and other areas of the room...unless of course you enjoy stubbing your toes on the tacking.....

The Pool and Pool Deck area are definately toooooooo small for a hotel of this size....for as in any resort...there are people who arrive early and stake out the prime locations for them selves...leaving towels/books/etc...on their chairs...only to return several hours later...of course...if you are not an early riser....you are left looking for a place in the sun....or going down to the beach...and the weekends...it is more like a sardine can...than a Pool Deck...as they bring out the extra chairs they have stored for the late risers...
squeezing them in between the already overly crowded guests...

Smoking...although there is no smoking in the enclosed restaurant...
once you go outside to eat....anyone can smoke... and they do....this includes the Pool and Pool Deck area...which amazes me....for as your children are eating/sitting/playing your neighbor can smoke away as your child iand you inhale the smoke...is this what they call Children Friendly or do they mean Children Deadly????

Overall...this is a nice resort in a great location...but for a 4 Star Hotel...it just does not cut it.

In my opinion this should not be called a resort. It was very limiting in many ways. First the rooms were nice, but far too small for 2 adults and 2 kids. There was no place to just buy a coke or snacks. There was not one vending machine in the entire place. You could only buy a bottled drink in the tiny gift shop, which is far from the rooms and not open all night. There were not any convenience stores anywhere close. With that said, you must have a car. While the front desk assured me you could walk to restaurants etc, that is untrue. The front desk actually said to me, "But, you can walk to the most important place, the beach." That was real helpful... The car is a must. You do get hit with $30/day for parking. There is only one restaurant there which is very pricey, especially for breakfast (it would have run us $100 probably for 4). The pool menu is more reasonable and has a kid's menu. The beach is across the street. I found much nicer beaches heading away from the resort north. The internet was not included and it was expensive.

Great hotel. The view (we were on the 25th floor) was awesome, our room was beautiful, and the shower was amazing!! It is right across the street from the beach which was perfect.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I just came back from a long weekend at the Hilton in Ft Lauderdale. It literally blew away our expectations due to the high quality of the staff! Everyone we came into contact with from the bellman and the front desk staff to the pool staff and concierge was extreamly friendly, gracious and pleasant. They constantly would ask if they could get you anything and if we were enjoying our stay. The hotel overall was well kept and our room was clean, updated and large. We will definately be back!
