Just spent 4 days here on a business/pleasure trip. Staff was very nice, security was prevalent, and there were lots of amenities (on site restaurants and quick service, gym, spa, shops, lots of pools). That said, this is very much a PARTY hotel. Not our vibe, but probably a great place for a girls or guys weekend away if you're into a DJ by the pool and drinking all day). We spent most of our time on the beach because the pool was wayyyy too loud - DJ all day long, pretty much, and the bass is so loud you can hear it down the boardwalk. We did see some families who were enjoying the kids pool but I personally would not stay here again, especially with young children. The high point was the Lapis Spa, which is fabulous. Lots of amenities - if you go for a massage or other service, you have all-day access to the spa - steam room, mineral pool, jacuuzi and more. Nice showers, changing rooms, lockers, etc,. and really friendly staff. I got a mani/pedi and 25-minute massage for $150, which was a deal considering all that I was able to enjoy in the whole of the spa. The gym was also nice - just did the treadmill a couple of mornings and the view looks out over the pools and beach - this aint no YMCA! At night, the lobby and the bars are VERY loud, but thankfully the sound doesn't emanate to the rooms (we were on the 10th floor). The party atmosphere does invite partiers, though, and we were faced with a naked 20-something guy in our hallway in the afternoon. The room was nice but nothing special - I actually expected a little more for the price. Bathroom space was sufficient and housekeeping was good - always had plenty of towels and room was very clean each day. In all, I would only recommend this hotel if you're into the nightlife and party scene. For me, a boutique hotel is more the way to go. Also be warned that they onsite restaurants and quick service are very expensive - $7 for a bottled water, $50 for a steak. But if you're paying the Fontainebleau hotel rate, then you're probably expecting those prices.
