Wife and I stayed here last week for two days. Was nervious that it would not be up to our standards (classy and inexpensive) but was pleasantly surprised. The location is great. The rooms had some great views (from the 17 floor!),had new bathrooms and a dressing room that my wife loved for some reason. The pool is small, but the beautiful ocean is large! The restaurant breakfast buffet was poor at best, but there are many wonderful restaurants in Lauderdale. All in all, a good value.

I just got back from a five night stay at the Radisson Bahia Mar. This was a great hotel and very centrally located. The water taxi was located right at the hotel so it was very convenient to various places. However, keep in mind that they only run every hour so you really have to check the schedule carefully. The room was immaculate at all times. The restaurant there was pricey but I guess that is to be expected. However, there were some restaurants in walking distance. The Oasis Cafe was up the block and across the street. Very cute place overlooking the ocean. The pool was area was great. Plenty of chairs and as cute tiki bar as well. I'd highly recommed this hotel to anybody.

Between April 30 to May 3, 2004 we stayed at this hotel . We came down for the annual Air and Sea Show. I can only describe this hotel as excellent ! We stayed in the oceanside tower building on the 5th floor. The room was extremely clean and well maintained.The entire hotel was well maintained from what we could observe. The 2nd floor restaurant has an excellent buffet breakfast available. The staff was courteous and professional. The hotel is located next to the marina which has the Water Taxi base which I recommend for getting around to visit the various bars and restaurants located along the Intracoastal waterway and greater Ft Lauderdale waterway system.You can avoid a lot of travel hassles by taking the WaterTaxi. There are pleanty of amenities provided, conseierge desk very helpful. Visit their website at www------------

We are 3 middle age woman who were visiting friends in Fort Lauderdale area. I booked the Bahia Mar Beach Resort based on the reviews of this web site. We were there March 16 for 2 nights, during Spring Break. We were pleasantly surprised. Wonderful beach access, great pool area, wonderful food. Room was fine. Had mini bar. One problem which is common in Florida is the room had double beds rather than Queens or Kings. Parking was another problem. Had to pay whether valet or doing your own. Could use more parking spaces. But all in all would definitely go back there.
