So we decided to stay here for a couple of days before we went on a cruise out of Fort Lauderdale. We absolutely loved the room, the bed was comfortable, and the beach and pool area were great. We didn't like how much the drinks cost. My husband got a jack and coke which was a weak pour for $10 and I got a fancy champaigne drink for $14. Way to expensive for both drinks for what we got.

I would stay here again, but don't buy any drinks...they are ridiculously priced!

Very nice hotel, we were here for conference. Very close to the beach and a lot of beds at the poolside. Unfortunately a lot of regular chairs to sit outside instead of lying down (only at the bar/restaurant). Wifi was not very fast in the room, in lobby it was ok though.

Westin Diplomat has continued to provide a very nice, somewhat upscale experience, right on the beach. Attached convention center and weather makes this a prime spot. Nice that you can fly in and out of Fort Lauderdale and avoid the chaos of Miami.

I was here for a conference and was blown away with the initial presentation of the grand building and lobby, then literally walking out of the back doors onto the beach - that was good. However the rooms were dated, the TV channels more limited than some much cheaper hotels I have used in the US and the service was hit and miss. Food and drinks were reasonably priced for a conference hotel but the choice of food wasn't brilliant. The conference rate was $300 a night and I think that was about 40% more than I was comfortable paying.
