Every tu ing was great

Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort
Everything was great. Location, ocean view, room, food…… The only issue and concern is about Starbucks, if it’s part of the hotel, they need to be aware that the staff and service was very poor.

The Atlantic Hotel & Spa
The staff was friendly, the lobby was pretty, and rooms were modern & spacious. The pool area was nice if you caught the sun early and having great staff on the beach was also great.
