This place has it all! Number one for us was that the resort is actually right on the beach and has a big pool with tons of chairs; around the fort lauderdale beach area, most of the hotels require walking across the “strip” (a relatively busy road) to get the the beach and then it’s more of a crowded public beach. This place was at the southern part of fort lauderdale beach and a bit quieter than being right on the strip. Plus there’s a beach bar and beach runners to bring you drinks, snacks or lunch while you’re at the beach! If you prefer the pool, it’s big and has another poolside bar and restaurant up in that area too (plus a nice juice bar, starbucks and formal restaurant off the lobby). Our teens loved the beach volleyball, cornhole and table tennis on property as well as a poolside movie on the evening of Easter sunday. Lots of umbrellas by the pool and beach as well to take a break from the sun when needed. Staff was always friendly, it was pretty crowded so wait time for food and drinks increases with numbers by the pool but that’s to be expected. Enjoyed our stay entirely!
