The room seemed clean and bathrooms had been renovated. The coffee maker didn’t work. Seemed defective. The beach is nice. The pool is small. The hot tub smelled strongly of chlorine and was a little cloudy. Not many restaurants or shops in walking distance. Overall an adequate hotel.

Close to a beach and that is the only positive aspect of the hotel. WiFi was horrible and barely worked. Staff looked like they hated being there. So many ppl hogging up the pool and jacuzzi. Will never return

I would say you get what you pay for. Hotel looks like it needs an update, badly. Room beds are super tiny. Good luck fitting two people on one bed. Rooms are DIRTY!!! Hair on the floor everywhere. Kids feet were black from walking around the room. Sink does NOT drain. “Partial ocean” view means your smack dab next to the ac unit and all that electrical equipment outside the room, with a smidge of a view of the ocean. My “better option” was the same on the other side, with construction crews working on the hotel next door. No thanks. Only plus it’s on the beach and there’s some restaurants near by. Otherwise, I’d stay someplace else.

This is not a resort. It’s a ran down hotel, outdated, and smells like mold. Also just know you have to pay $20 a day for parking. The deposit for the resort is $250 which isn’t a problem if it was worth it.

Our second time here! I would stay here every time. Perfectly located near the beach. Not too crazy about the food options but we ordered in and there's a McDonalds and grocery store within walking distance. The staff is wonderful from the front desk, pool area, dining area and housekeeping. The room and beds are comfortable. Great bathrooms with showers.

The place was a mess!! The outside doors were rotting. Half way through my vacation they decided to rip apart the room next to mine. This noise lasted all day for the last 3 days of my stay. They didn't inform us of this or offer to move us to a new room. So we had to change our vac plans to coordinate with the noise, pretty hard with a young child. I will never stay there again

I was slightly disappointed with the room. My balcony faced the building next door that is under construction. Partial ocean view is technically correct wording but i was expecting a pretty view. Food was pricey. $18 for chips and salsa. The room was clean and had everything i needed. Bed was comfortable. The tv had issues when trying to change the channel. I would rate this as a regular hotel, nothing fancy. So i do believe its overpriced. Plus the deposit was $250 for 2 night stay when my reservation stated $50/night. I most likely would not stay again.

Great location and amenities. Everything was super clean and convenient. Love that it’s right on the beach. Only complaint was the staff. The woman at the front desk was miserable. When I asked about a late checkout, I was told that we could pay an additional fee to check out at 2. When I approached on our departure day, I was told that this was not possible.

What I liked was it was right on beach . Also nice Italian restaurant and Tiki bar next door. Close to Fort Lauderdale by the Sea and all the restaurants in that area. What I didn’t like: old rooms with paper thin walls, construction going on was loud. On site retiring expensive and not very good Mixed if I would repeat.

The staff was great and the amenities were nice but the rooms are outdated and our room had black mold everywhere (curtains, lamps, walls) our family got sick. The air conditioning unit was steadily on and pumped the weed/cigarette smoke from the other rooms into ours. We stayed 2 out of the 5 scheduled days and had to go somewhere else. The hotel did offer to move us to another room but we were all so sick we just wanted to leave.Luckily, Expedia helped us out and we were able to book elsewhere. Otherwise, the location and pool area were nice. The mini golf was a cool and fun feature but again dated. Not recommended to go during spring break with little ones.

The best part of this resort is that its 3 steps out to the beautiful beach. It has a pool and hot tub. There were a few things about the facilities that could be improved (the hallways to the rooms were in fairly poor conditions and the water in the toilets was always yellow) but overall it was a great experience. The location of the resort was great, its in a more tranquil area and Lauderdale by the Sea is easily accessible from the resort.

I booked this trip thru Expedia and when I did I had the option to include breakfast for an additional charge, which I did. The morning after we got there we went to the front desk to get directions on how our breakfast would work since it would be in the restaurant and made to order. I was informed by the front desk attendant that I did not have breakfast included in my plan but she did know what I was referring to because she told me there was a reservation that had issues with breakfast during booking.She told me to contact Expedia and have them look up my reservation to see if it was added. After countless times of trying to contact Expedia by phone and not being able to speak to a human, I opted to “chat” with a virtual agent. This agent confirmed with me that I did in fact pay for the breakfast and that he would contact the hotel: I asked if I could get a refund for that day as this procedure was drawn out. The agent agreed to relay this to the hotel as well. After waiting again the agent came back and told me that upon calling the hotel the hotel told him that I did not include breakfast with my reservation because they do not offer it. Well I knew that was a lie. I went rounds with this agent who kept lying to me. I realized I was getting no where with the Expedia agent or the hotel so I ended my “chat after 2 hours. At this point I’m not sure whose fault this is but someone should make it right. One more thing to note- this hotel does not offer free Cofee
