Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely awesome! The rooms were fantastic, with a large balcony facing the ocean and access to an exclusive pool that was never crowded. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, always ready to ensure a perfect day in the sun. The location was top-notch, right on the beach with stunning views, though the design was a bit cold-looking. The dining experience was delicious, especially the omelettes. Overall, a great stay with some minor room for improvement in certain areas.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and nicely appointed, although it doesn't have a 'resort' feel. The location is excellent, right by the beach and within walking distance to many places. The service was top-notch with friendly staff and meticulous attention to detail. However, the dining options were a bit limited. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable and convenient stay.
The resort was clean and accommodating, perfect for relaxation time, but lacked a coffee maker in the rooms. The location near Lauderdale by the Sea offered easy access to dining and entertainment, while the room was missing a chair at the dinette table.
My stay at the hotel was incredible. The room was spacious and clean, with a large balcony overlooking the ocean and easy access to an exclusive pool that was never crowded. However, it was a bit disappointing that there was no coffee maker or minibar in the room, forcing us to go downstairs for our first cup of coffee each morning.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were neat and all brand new, and I had a king bed with a kitchenette and an amazing view of the beach. It's so convenient being located amongst good shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The downside was not having coffee in the rooms, just a bed and a room.
The hotel is in a prime location with convenient access to the beach, offering stunning views. The rooms, though basic, were pristine with a wonderful perspective of the pool and beach. The service, especially from the towel station and cleaning staff, was exceptional, while the dining experience left room for improvement. The location provides easy reach to various attractions, but being on the A1A had its inconveniences. Overall, a comfortable stay with great value for money.
I absolutely loved the hotel's direct beach access! Room 6 was a gem with immaculate interiors, and being close to the pools, parking, and beach made it so convenient. However, not having elevator access was manageable. The service at the restaurant was out of proportion; the staff were friendly and helpful but seemed lacking in customer service training. The location in Lauderdale by the Sea was fantastic – just a few steps from the beach and walking distance to all the great spots in town. The dining experience at the Backflip, with reasonable pricing and a few breakfast choices, was a short, enjoyable walk away. The facilities were top-notch with everything you could need for a relaxing stay.
The hotel is an absolute gem for those looking for a cozy, balcony-equipped room, but may not suit light sleepers due to some noise. The service is top-notch, despite a hiccup with a challenging guest. The location is paradise for beach lovers, but watch out for unexpected resort fees. Dining options are varied and delightful but may have some timing issues. Overall, a satisfying stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with a few ups and downs. The room was clean and offered a great ocean view, but the lack of elevator access made it a bit challenging. The service was top-notch despite a small hiccup with the promised coffee maker. The location was fantastic, close to the beach and other amenities, though mostly comprised of motels. The dining experience was outstanding, with delicious food offerings. Overall, a good value for money with some minor inconveniences to consider.
