The resort spa doesn't work during the whole reservation week. The ice machine was broken and nothing was done to push repairment. Nobody cleans the pool for several days. The resort needs serious management improvement. read more

It was fine. I lived in Ft Lauderdale for many years, and we were just back visiting to attend a wedding, so we didn't feel the need for resort-y accommodations. It's a very basic hotel that's steps from the beach. Lots of parking, though you do have to pay to park, of course. Staff seemed nice. Room was just okay, but again, was everything we needed and clean. If you need a basic place to stay in FLL that's in a good location but don't feel the need to go all out, this'll do. read more

Staff is very nice but it's old and not much to offer. I checked in and a couple hours later checked out.

Enjoyed a 10 day stay. Resort is clean. Decor is quite dated. Laundry facilities could be improved; no change machine & staff on site not overly helpful on maintaining sufficient change to aid the guests. Would love to have a better avenue of communication to the resort; their website & Facebook page are not monitored at all. You won't get responses at all. (Even if you show interest in purchasing) all said I will return. read more

Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort - View from room 1804 - Hotels Near Me - Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

My condo was clean with '90s Florida/ style decor and a beautiful balcony view. Plenty of towels. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially the concierge. It's a short walk to the beach and a couple shops. They were doing work on the floor above me which stated at 7:30 in the morning, so that could have waited until a later hour considering it's a vacation spot and included the workers blasting music. Easy to get Uber or Lyft if you don't rent a car. Not a reflection on the business, but the block between the hotel and the beach -- I think 9th Street -- is sketchy in the daytime and dark and sketchier at night. This is coming from someone who lives in the murder capital of the country. The guys living in the homeless encampment had a huge fistfight, drew blood, and the cops had to be called. Vacant businesses line the block and are used to shield some shady stuff. Just be careful walking even in the daytime. read more

I was checking in on 11/23/19, while doing so a gentleman found it necessary to stand beside me instead of behind and waiting to be asked to the counter. Although there was an issue with my credit card, Sabrina was kind enough to help someone else check in and while I figured things out. I continued to check in with no issues. Later that night, while guests where over, the door between the living and bedroom become jammed and locked. I called the front desk from the hall, because the phone was in the locked room. The receptionist came 30 MINUTES later to see what was going on. Because maintenance was already gone for the night. The receptionist then told us, there was nothing he could do for the rest of the night. And that my guests would have to stay here(hotel), until the next day. (keep in mind there was notices around the property that if you DO NOT have a parking pass you will be towed. Even if a pass was provided, how would it be put in the car when then keys are locked in the room. Roughly 30 minutes after the receptionists left, security came and tried to open the door like everyone else. Now 2 hours go by with no word from anyone. Myself and a guests went downstairs to tell them, there was a medical reason we needed the door open, but before we could, they decided to break it down. After the door was opened, I was left to clean up the pieces from the broken door (charge for cleaning service), that was made of cardboard. I was left in a room with broken door. Not one time after the incident did anyone from the hotel staff reach out to me. I checked out on 11/25/19 with Sarina(bad attitude) not to be confused with Sabrina(very helpful), and provided her with the door knob, explained the situation and asked to speak to the manager on duty, which was John Perez(GM), but told I had to speak with Keneisha(Front Office Assistant Manager). I asked Sarina to have whomever call me to discuss what happened, her LACK of concern wasn't a surprise as she barely cared to work. After she checked me out, I was told I was free to go... Well I wasn't! if she would've looked, she would've noticed I made a cash deposit. I believe this hotel has a policy of not reminding guests checking out, about their CASH deposits. (Note, I was told that if I did NOT have the copy of my receipt, my deposit was forfeited.) After waiting until 4pm EST to receive a call from John Perez, I called and was advised he WAS there when I checked out, and left at 3pm. I was when transfer to Keneisha, and explained the situation and she passed me off to John Perez's voicemail and left a message. I called and spoke to Keneisha again and she told me, the owner of the unit NEVER complained about the doorknob and it was MY fault for it being jammed based on what she was looking at. Well, if she was looking at it, you could tell the lock would NOT retract, therefore when it was last closed it wouldn't reopen. as of 9:45am on 11/26, I still have not heard from the hotel. read more

Reached out to manager about our stay in April 2022. Never heard back. Outdated hotel, dirty, pool deck closed, pool bar closed and homeless man living in the lobby. read more

They have Roaches!!! One - I can live. Apologize and maybe move on. But NO! We ordered Pizza. Husband Put the Empty Box down for a second. Goes back 15 mins later .... ROACHES scatter out the box. All excited because we are there. Dinner comes. We eat and Roaches come out to say Hello. Called the front desk. Says he will come and spray. Ok. No apology? Empathy? Nothing. Stinks up the room with roach spray. We left. We were told they will have an exterminator come in and spray on Tuesday. This was SATURDAY!!! Who does that?! Says it's common in the area. We are on the 14th floor!!! These roaches are living here and infested. Couldn't let them ruin my vacation. We locked ourself in the seemingly safe bedroom (towel under the door) because we went on a cruise Monday. Fast Forward!!!! Returned to the Room Friday... Telllll me why y'all - housekeeping came, filled towels, gave us soap, but DID NOT empty trash, DIDNT MAKE THE BED.... and DID NOT exterminate. I kid you not, my husband and I sat at the table to eat and a roach walked up the mirror behind him - ready to eat too! We went to the lobby and ate on the couch. No offer for a new room. No apology. Nothing. Lies and excuses. Don't waste your time with this place. It's old and needs new staff, renovations, and Exterminator I'll need therapy after this. read more

Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort - Roach chillin! - Hotels Near Me - Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Meh. That pretty sums up my thoughts on this resort. There's not one thing that is great or spectacular about it. It's such a mediocre resort stuck in time that's in desperate need of an overhaul. The "business center" (a tiny room with 2 computers) was locked closed. I was told it was "out of service" I stayed in a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom with a balcony. Dismayed to find it didn't include a bathtub just a standing shower. Also no full length mirror in the room. read more

I just got back from a stay. I was impressed with the customer service, cleanliness of the unit, its location a block from the beach with unobstructed views, hot tub, pool and game room. The resort has been well maintained, and I'd stay there again. read more

This Resort has the old style Resort feeling. Not to elaborate just comfortable enough get that home feel. Nice because it's small enough to get to know everyone. Definitely need to visit Santi at the bar by the pool. He makes the atmosphere a fun yet relaxing time! Great personality and service! read more

The worse room I've ever stayed in. My toilet barely worked. The bathtub didn't drain properly.

Stayed here many times, it's our go to resort ! Everyone friendly so close to ocean, bars and restaraunts. If you get an ocean view you won't be disappointed. Excited for my next visit , I arrive July 4th so I hope I get to see some Fire Works! Fingers crossed I get ocean view room read more

Get a one bedroom or up. The studio has barely any space to hang clothes, I hung mine in the utility closet. The 1 BR on the other hand has a huge walk in closet. Other than that no complaints with the studio. The pool has a bar and insanely cheap hh prices. $3 to $4, also margaritas, pina coladas and a slew of other drinks are $5. The pool is a good size and I like that the whirlpool and more chaises and seating are on an upper level. The beach is a 5 minute walk away if that and many other places are within walking distance such as restaurants, bars, gift shops, ice cream shop and so on. McSorleys has bands Thu-Sat. The water is very clear and you can walk out quite awhile before it gets deep. Not a good shell beach. Publix and Winn Dixie are a short drive away as well as Las Olas Blvd (the strip). The staff at the resort were very helpful and prompt. read more

Excellent resort, and amazing pool bar. Be sure to say hi to Ron at the bar! Amazing fellow.

Hotel was clean Rooms are selectively decorated with comfortable furnishings . Ample Towels were available for pool and beach Kitchen appliances were completely suitable for vacation needs. I highly recommend Fort Lauderdale Beach resort as a hotel to vacation The drinks at the bar by the pool were great.Live entertainment at poolside was quite surprising and COOL!!! I would come back read more

Do your homework before you go. That was the key for stay not being so bad. If you know it is a 2-star category then you won't be disappointed when you realize hotel is stuck in the 80's and isn't top notch. I would never pay $100+a night to stay here. We only stayed because of exchange week from a time share type company. Did see a roach first day and freaked out. I was vigilant in my hunt for evidence of them, checking every day and making sure nothing was left out, and taking trash to chute daily. Of my 7 day stay I only saw the one in our unit. I think the units vary greatly though because i ran into some very unhappy guests trying to get different rooms because of "bug problem ". Did see giant dead giant palmetto bugs (roaches on steroids) in 2 of the public areas but that is very common for Florida. The inside of our 1 bedroom unit was pretty clean for its age. Inside of stove,microwave, and fridge looked as if they had never been used. The ceiling fan in bedroom had no dust and could tell room had been cleaned before our arrival. Bathroom could of used a little more attention but was "acceptable" clean. Ocean view was fantastic. Beach was even closer than appears in pics. Takes longer to cross A1A then does to walk from hotel to beach. Pool was clean. Gym could use lots of attention. Hope this info helps in your decision making. read more

This is a pretty nice place. My unit on the 6th floor looks east and through the trees, you can see the ocean. It is not the Ritz Carlton. This is an older timeshare and most of the people here are older owners or exchange members. The staff is really nice and very accommodating. My unit is really big with 2 bd and 2 baths. it is very clean. I like it. Close to lots of pubs and restaurants. Very good value. Everyone is on vacation and easy going I had lots of fun. read more

I refuse to believe that the 5 star reviews for this place are actually real. The average star rating for this place on Google is 4 stars. Someone is writing fake reviews. Stayed here for the Christmas holiday. I didn't make the reservation. The only positive thing I can write about this place is that it is 1 block from the beach. The furniture is old, scuffed up and stained. The furniture looks like it was purchased in the 90s and never changed out. The couch is stained and needs all new cushions and pillows because of how worn they are. They're thin like pancakes. All the beds are hard as rocks. The patio was dirty with old dirty furniture. The screen for the screen door is falling apart. So many rips and holes that there's no point to keep it closed if you want to keep bugs and birds out. The doors themselves are hard to open and close. The elevator is old and extremely slow. One of them is broken and according to other reviewers, it seems it's been broken for months! The building itself is old and creeks. Banging pipes, the heavy doors slam shut and the walls are thin. I've been having major anxiety about that building collapse that was only a few miles from here because of many sounds the actual building makes. If it weren't for the fact that it's the holiday week, we would have cancelled and gone somewhere else. All in all, the price and location are not worth it. This place is trash. read more

The staff was very rude and kept accusing us of breaking things we didn't break. They said we stole things as well when we didn't. We got charged $100 because they gave us broken scissors and said we did it. I didn't realize scissors were worth $100 now but okay. When we arrived one of my friends was harassed because apparently his real ID wasn't real enough for the front desk and they thought he was a child. The place was infested with mold and all of us got sick when we were inside and better as soon as we left. Let's also discuss the awful elevator. There were 2 elevators for an entire 17 floor building, so we had to wait 15 minutes every time we wanted to leave, and the doors kept shutting on our bodies. Disgusting and not worth the price at all! read more

We stayed at the Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort recently and had a very good stay. We rented a two bedroom condo for my family of five which included a kitchenette, which is actually a one bedroom with an adjoining studio. This is a setup I highly recommend because it allows you to buy food and have a few meals at the hotel, thus saving both money and time and allows you to avoid eating out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I found our condo clean, spacious and in very good condition. One room had a queen bed the other had a king and the living room has a pull down queen bed. All of which were very comfortable. We booked an ocean view room, which was true in a loose way as if you craned your neck from the living room window, it was possible to see the ocean. As others have written, the location is good, just two blocks from the beach and one block from Birch State Park. Be forewarned, the blocks between the condo and the ocean are a little shabby looking. However just on the other side is the Galleria (containing both a Macys and a Neiman Marcus) and a canal filled with multimillion dollar yachts. Some have complained about the elevator situation. It is true that there are only two and they are small, so sometimes it was necessary to wait while full elevators passed us by. At in all it was only a minor inconvenience. Also the heated pool is a little small, but it was adequate. We went during spring break so the hotel was full and parking was a little hard at times. All in all, the Beach Resort is a good place to stay in Ft. Lauderdale and a good value for your lodging dollar. read more

TERRIBLE place to stay. My friends and I went here for spring break and could not do anything without getting a noise complaint. We all went to bed one night by 1 and not a noise complaint at 1, so we must have been snoring too loud. Do not recommend to anyone looking for a good time by the beach. Tip to boring people: dont stay at a fort laudy resort on the beach during spring break if you dont want people interrupting your tea time and brunch. read more

Stayed here for a week under my mothers vacation timeshare. Overall it was good not great. One of my biggest issues is the room doors! We had a corner unit overlooking the parking/ocean. Any conversation could be heard down the hall. The elevator were small and one day one of them did not work. The rooms were clean and had enough towels for our stay. We had a one bedroom plus a efficiency and it worked great! The bed were a bit hard. The tvs were new and had Netflix. The faucet water looked yellowish not sure what that was about. It did not smell or feel funny just looked weird. The spa was huge the pool was small and both were in odd places. The gym smelled like burnt rubber but the machines worked. The crowds during our stay were 55+ overall. The staff we spoke with were nice. The area had many good restaurant and walking around felt safe. read more

I have stayed at this "resort" several times in the past since it is part of a timeshare exchange. The main reason for staying at this resort is for location. You do not stay at the Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort to be "wowed". When you check-in you are greeted by the reception staff which seems more intimidating then welcoming. They are going to send you to another desk to have you get your parking pass which is a way for them to get you to go to a timeshare presentation. Once you talk your way out of going to the timeshare presentation you proceed to the elevator (only 2) and try to shove all your luggage into it. The elevators are manageable during off season but can see it being a problem during season. This year I had a canal view which I think would be better suited as a 7-11 road view. Yes, you see a canal so can't complain about that. The rooms are getting out dated. Several of the electrical outlets didn't work in the room. I would plug a cord into the outlet and it would just fall out. The phone in the room flashed all week with a message but you couldn't retrieve it cause the voicemail never wasn't programmed. I did have a 9:30a wake up call every morning (even weekends) because they were jack hammering above my room to do tile replacement. The first day I called and went down to the reception desk and I was told "it is off season sir and we have to continue to make the place look beautiful". So I my interpretation was just suffer. I was never offered another room that wouldn't be affected by the sound. They called one of the managers who said it was just going to be a couple hours for that day. That turned out to be a lie as it is still continuing as I type this. The next issue was when I came back one night the odor of gasoline permeated the hallway on the 7th floor. I contacted the front desk who said that couldn't be possible because there is no gasoline in the building but told me he would contact security. I met security who also smelled the mystery gas. He said he would open the stairwell doors and it would go away. No investigation to see where it was coming from or if it was a safety hazard. I survived that night. The jack hammering continued and I played phone tag with the GM. Again never offered to switch rooms as I would think there would be something available since it is "off-season". On Tuesday morning I was woken up by maintenance who said they need to replace the TV in the living room and asked what time they should come back. I said 1p would be good and they said no, how about 12p. So I packed my stuff and headed out. That day the hall was lined with old TVs as you dodged through the hallway. So in closing, this is an outdated resort with little customer service. Great location but you could also just stay in your car on the street. read more

This resort is very outdated.

Booked this place via out timeshare an what a disappointment. I'll start with the good. Clean room and walking distance to the beach. As for the hotel itself it's just not at all impressive. The bar is only beer and wine! The pool is small. My neighborhood pool is bigger. Gym is nothing to brag about, old cheap equipment. But the pool and bar was just bad. My wife and I went to the pool and laughed. But what really got us upset was we called at 10pm to order more bath towels and they said we have to wait till tomorrow. The housekeeping is gone. Soooo we can't get towels?? I've NEVER stayed at a place, asked for towels and been turned down. That's just bad hotel customer service! read more

I give this such a low rating because after driving 24 hours from chicago ( pretty much non stop) with 5 teenagers and the first person to greet you is less than professional it leaves a sour taste in your mouth . The woman at the front desk should be working in the laundry room out of sight of any people .. She was mean, rude and had ZERO customer service skills. I actually took out of my time to call the manager, who was actually very nice and professional about everything . The redeeming quality was the location it was barely one block from the beach. Yes the pool was small big deal . The hot tub however was huge ... I think it seated like 12 people .. The unit was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals for a week . Other than the rude customer service it actually wasn't bad. read more

This place is trash. I went on vacation here with 5 friends. The owner had us all evicted with cops at our door at 3am! What a jerk. We had to pack all of our things and find a hotel in the middle of the night. Even the two officers thought it was ridiculous. I understand a noise complaint, but when we are all paying money to have a good time in a room we paid for it's appalling. If you can't talk in your room with no music on what is the point in staying with your friends at a place for vacation in the first place? People go to Fort Lauderdale for a good time. If you can't allow people hanging out in their room, then you shouldn't be operating a business such as this. There's so many wonderful places to stay...don't waste your time with these clowns!! read more

We spent our first night in a studio room. IF YOU ARE STAYING FOR MORE THAN A NIGHT, do yourself a favor and upgrade to a one-bedroom!!! It's worth the upgrade and made our experience much better. Overall, the hotel itself was a little lacking but you can really tell where they've been investing in...their pool! Very nice outdoor pool with plenty of beach chairs available and another upper deck with the oversized hot tub. Staff was accommodating as well. read more

I would stay here anytime! I stayed here from 12/21- 12/28/18. I had an awesome time. To be honest, I saw some really horrible reviews and was very scared to stay here- until I arrived. Condo- extremely clean. No dust, no dirt and certainly NO BUGS ( i saw this mentioned in several reviews). The decor was a bit dated but in good condition. The kitchen was brand new. It was so nice that I elected to cook all of my meals at the condo. The only thing that was off was the temperature in the shower. It could have been a bit warmer. But I didn't say anything- but if I did, I am sure it would have been taken care of promptly. I had an issue with the dishwasher (it fell out from under the counter because it needed to be secured). Maintenance was up and fixing it within 5 minutes of my call to the front desk. Housekeeping- very friendly. Will get you anything that you need. Loved Odia- she was the best! Front desk staff- very efficient and professional. Not "warm and fuzzy" but definitely cordial. Pool/Laundry/Hot Tub- all in great condition. Hot tub was soooo relaxing! And please keep in mind- the resort is literally half a block from the beach. Cannot beat that for the price. I would recommend 8th floor and up for an amazing view. There are several restaurants down by the beach and an ice cream and popcorn shop on the way. I recommend Uber for getting around town. Great experiences! read more

I own two units at the Fort Lauderdale beach resort. The management does a great job keeping up with the place replacing tiles and appliances , hallway ,carpet , accomplishing different projects every year. Clean comfortable friendly people. Rooms nice Though one area of improvement is the resort should take back the roof space from the company that pushes sales of a glorified travel website. It's Not even a timeshare w deeded week. buyer be ware don't buy the product it's not deeded !! If you want to buy a week at resort see guy in office on ground floor , the company he runs is reputable and his weeks are deeded weeks. read more
