“Great hotel with a great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

We stayed at this hotel using Marriott points. We requested a high room because we read that is where you get the best views. We were offered a 3rd floor room BUT right behind the ocean front room, so it was practically ocean front. We took the 1 bedroom and were very pleased. The room had a washer and dryer, a kitchen with everything you need except the oven and a full size fridge. The main room consisted of a desk and a couch with a small table and 3 chairs. The flat screen TV was on the wall. This room also had a queen bed in it. It had a private balcony. There was also a bathroom in this room. Then you walk through a door and enter the bedroom. It had a queen bed, TV, private balcony and a bathroom. It was spacious enough for 4 adults. We sat at the pool, chairs and towels are provided. We sat at the beach, chairs were provided but we had to drag them down to the beach and that is not so easy when you have stuff to carry. We had lunch in the restaurant and that was good. They provide free interent in the rooms, it was kinda slow. There is no place to park your car except valet, which is $19 per day, charged to your room. It was strange since the covered lot to park was right there, guests could have certainly gotten their own cars. The free breakfast was very good.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel, it has a great location and great views.

Room Tip: get a higher up room

“Fantastic Service and Views!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

Recently my best girlfriends and I stayed at the Residence Inn on Pompano Beach. The service, ammenities and location were fantastic. I would highly recommend staying at this property - get to know the staff! Jennifer (manager), Richard & Trey (restaurant) and Alexis (spa) took extra measures to make sure we truly were on vacation! The mimosas are perfectly mixed, the complimentary breakfast is a real treat and the ocean access is beautiful! The tiki bar next door is also really fun!

Room Tip: The ocean front suites are amazing!

“Hands down the best property on the beach!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

We have stayed prior, to rave reviews.
Again we were thrilled at the service, rooms, beach... The entire combination makes this property our "go-to" resort when we need to be in Fort Lauderdale.
We had a bit of an error on our prior folio and the general manager (jenny?)fixed it immediately to more than our satisfaction ....... Stellar customer service is still
alive!!! ........

“Relaxing and wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

I enjoyed every minute of my stay at this hotel. The whole staff was very helpful and accommodating. My friends and I stayed in a two bedroom suite that faced the ocean. The view was stunning! The suite had a great kitchenette and washer/dryer in the unit. We were looking for a relaxing and recharging getaway and that is exactly what we got. The beach was in great shape and the ocean was perfect for swimming. The water was clear and warm. The free breakfast was fantastic and I am a very picky eater. It was real breakfast food, not just muffins and cereal. Also the bar/restaurant was a winner too. Try the homemade crab cakes. Again, I am very picky and these were just great- a lot of crab. The bar staff are serious about good customer service. They were friendly, quick, and attentive. Also all areas in this hotel were super clean. I would suggest you make time for some spa services too.

This was my second trip for Labor Day....what a great place. Really nice staff and extreemly accomodating. They went out of their way to take care of me. The parking is $20 a day. Beach chairs are free and nice. Breakfast is hot and lots of variety. I'll definitely visit again!
