The house being built has been a disaster from upgrades that are no longer available after choosing them and paying for them. The roof is a mess with uneven shingles and is bowing, the island wall sticks out past the counter top, door frames have cracks in them, but we're still painted and sealed, they forgot electrical after already finishing the drywall so that had to get cut up, the house was painted the wrong color, the floor plan was reversed, the whole process has been rushed and they have been trying to force us to move even though the house is far from ready. It seems a lot of corners have been cut during the construction process. Stay far far away cus they only care about getting your money and not building your perfect home for retirement!

I visited from out of town earlier this year and needed a dedicated space to work at. I was…read moreunpleasantly surprised by how few places were true coworking spaces with availability for day passes in the FLL area. Finally I found Axis online and it was excellent. My first day I worked in the flexible open space on the first floor. Seating was ample and comfortable. Kitchen was handy (purchase your own snacks will a self checkout iPad). Being on the first floor, it had direct access outside and waterfront views for great walks during breaks. The second day I reserved a private office. That was on the third floor and it was a nice spot. Walls are glass so if you're doing anything proprietary or notably private, it won't meet your need there. WiFi was good. Also, special thanks to the staff for helping me with some annoying network needs. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the day. It's important to know you have to pull up to the building and valet park. The parking was free iirc. Enter the building and inform the building security on the right that you're visiting Axis. They have to let you in. I didn't find that super clear. They're also (understandably) strict on the 5:00 pm closing time if you're not a member. Use the valet ticket to call your car before coming out (valets prefer it, actually).

I have some issues that would keep me from being a regular if I lived here- particularly that the phone booths are not at all sound proofed, have uncomfortable chairs, and have terrible lighting for video calls.

Parking is accessible by valet or self parking in a garage that's right on the property. There are elevators from the parking garage leading directly into the hotel lobby. The staff that assisted us were all lovely. We booked a balcony room with a view of the water ways. It was a gorgeous sunny day which made our view all the more pleasing as the sun glistened off the water. The room itself was quite nice, equipped with all the essentials. Everything was clean and tidy. Just a few things I found lacking: - their pillows are toddler size. Would've loved at least queen size pillows - the phone was completely disconnected with no way to plug it in. We couldn't find a phone jack anywhere. Front desk did apologize for this. - there were no slippers or robes in the closets Other than that, it's a beautiful hotel and I will stay here again.

From walking in to being greeted by the friendliest server, the rooftop was beautiful. My friends and I made a reservation for dinner and were truly so impressed with the beautiful view of the intercostal right by our table. We started with drinks, I got the Campari Spritz which came in a huge glass and tasted perfect. We ordered food and I tried the veal meatballs on a bed of polenta and they also tasted perfect; juicy and flavorful!! Our server checked in on us regularly and it was a great experience!! I would highly recommend checking out this place, especially during happy hour. It is a great spot to enjoy the Florida sun while dining and feeling like you are on the water.

The amenities were the reason why I chose this property and they did not disappoint. Location is easy to find, about 4 blocks from the beach. They advertise having a "shuttle" but it is really just a golf cart ran by staff who are never available. I think they should stop advertising that as an option. The walk is accessible but it can feel like a lot in the heat with beach accessories. The property includes beach chairs (umbrella is adtl $30) and access to yoga. Both of these are by the Westin Sky bridge which is a bit of a hike down the beach. There are two bars. The lobby bar also sells food but I did not eat. I enjoyed the complimentary wine at the lobby restaurant and a spicy margarita at the rooftop pool bar. There was live music at the lobby bar that was a vibe during the evening. There is a pool right outside the lobby restaurant and also a rooftop pool. They are both small but big enough to enjoy. The views on the roof are beautiful. There isn't self parking and valet is about $50 a night. The hotel is more open air boutique/motel style but it works for a beach town. The room was a little small but they include beach bags and towels and that is a nice touch. It was very quiet and an adult crowd. I did not see one child during my stay. We enjoyed the complimentary lemon water offered all day. I loved this Kimpton and would definitely return.

They are remodeling part of the club so we chose to eat in the bar which was functional and not pretentious as some clubs are. Our server, Dominc, was terrific. He greeted us warmly at the door, told us a little about the club given we were visiting and then proceeded to tell us what he liked on the menu which I always appreciate. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the salmon with mashed potatoes and spinach topped with crab and it was some of the best salmon I have had. My friend had a steak which was also perfectly prepared. And then just when I though I couldn't eat anymore, Dominic suggested their coconut cake. OMG! I love coconut so this cake with a center of coconut cream pie filling was unbelievable! I was only going to eat a bite but I finished the whole thing! It was dark so the view from inside was just darkness but I am hoping to go back on a beautiful day and sit outside on the patio and watch the world sail by. Service was over the top the way it should be at a private club. Since we were visiting this club, when we checked in at the front, the entire team came out to welcome us and as the local resident, they even took it as an opportunity to share with me how I could join the club it I wanted. Speaking of service, parking is valet out front and I loved that the valet graciously helped an older woman who was unsteady on her feet and was looking for something that she thought she had left in her car. He made sure she was safe on a bench and then went looking for the item which never showed up. But he made sure she had someone with her. I'll end where I began in my love for private clubs. The adage, "yu get what you pay for" is certainly true here. Can't wait to go again and see what the new addition offers. Sounds like it will be done in March 2024.

Being in one of the tallest towers and existing for over 50 years in Fort Lauderdale is so impressive to think of all the growth you could have witnessed from this view. They have a bunch of dining rooms and lounge areas throughout. The bar however is a little small with only a few seats and a spot to order at. It isn't a huge dealbreaker but it's something to keep in mind if you wanted to sit at the bar area. I ordered a Kona beer on draft and it was very good for such a small bar. The cocktails also looked very festive for the fall season as well. Whether you go for a private event or for something else the Tower Club is definitely something you should check out at least once for the views alone!

Whether you're there for drinks, dinner, or just to vibe, the atmosphere is on point. Definitely a must-visit. I think you might need a membership, but I was there for Dining in the Dark so I'm not sure. Dining in the Dark is a super cool and unique experience definitely something you should try at least once. That said, the whole night felt kind of rushed. It seemed like they were just trying to move people through instead of letting everyone really enjoy it, which was a bit disappointing. The food portions were tiny--more like tasting bites than an actual meal. And between the $16 service charge per person (just for ordering drinks) and cocktails being $15-$20 each, it ends up feeling kind of overpriced for what you get. Overall, love the idea behind it, and with some tweaks--like slowing things down and giving bigger portions--it could be amazing. For now, I'd say try it for the experience, but don't expect a full dinner or great

Built in…read more1950 to honor veterans--including Fort Lauderdale native Alexander "Sandy" Nininger (October 20, 1918 - January 12, 1942), a West Point graduate from the Class of 1941. Nininger was a Second Lieutenant in the US Army assigned to lead a unit of the Philippine Scouts. He was killed in action in the Battle of Bataan and he became the first Medal of Honor recipient of World War II. The venue has long been a meaningful part of this community. Located next to the Florida Panthers' practice facility in Holiday Park, the auditorium has hosted an impressive range of events over the decades. In its early years, it welcomed U.S. presidents like Richard Nixon, renowned ballet companies, and legendary performers such as Buddy Holly and Otis Redding. In more recent years, it transitioned to gun shows, wrestling matches, flea markets, and smaller concerts, and eventually fell into disrepair. That all changed with a major restoration led by the Florida Panthers organization, which privately funded a $65 million renovation along with the development of the Baptist Health IcePlex. The goal was to revitalize the west side of Holiday Park and create a more family-friendly destination--and they delivered. The renovation beautifully preserves the building's classic Art Deco façade while introducing modern upgrades throughout. Inside, the marble lobby floor features the original in-ground commemorative plaque, restored and inscribed with the words: "a living memorial to those whose valor perpetuates our liberty." A bronze statue of a soldier--donated in the 1970s by American Gold Star Mothers in memory of those lost in the Vietnam War--is now prominently displayed in a dedicated niche above the entrance to the event space. Today, the 44,000-square-foot venue has been transformed into a modern music and event space through a partnership with the City of Fort Lauderdale. It's now part of a growing multi-use district and regularly hosts concerts, shows, and community events. I recently attended an Indie Craft Bazaar here and had a great experience. There's plenty of free parking in the fields across from the complex, which is a huge plus. Inside, you'll find multiple bars and concession areas. The space itself is open, stylish, and highly adaptable. It's not a traditional theater with fixed seating--instead, it has a flexible layout that can accommodate around 3,400 people. It works just as well for concerts, comedy shows, and DJs as it does for weddings and graduations. Despite all the modern upgrades, the venue still honors its roots. The restored plaques, statues, and memorial elements serve as reminders of its original purpose, giving the space a sense of history and meaning that sets it apart from newer venues. Overall, it's a thoughtful blend of past and present--and a great addition to Fort Lauderdale's event scene.
