Barrier Island Hotels, Fort Lauderdale

"Rather old building. One elevator didn’t work, so took very a lot of time to wait for it"

"The hotel was really cute and clean. It was walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. It had a small pool and not many amenities. Location felt safe"

"We booked a posh ocean view room and it was totally blocked by tents."

"They upgraded our room, which was nice because we had a living room, dining room and full kitchen. In terms of cleanliness it was ok, not great. The AC would work on and off, so that was a problem. To find our room we had to go to so many doors (some of them broken). The location is nice because you’re very close to the beach, they provide towels and 2 beach chairs per day (you have to pay $20/day to get an umbrella). The bar drinks are overpriced for the serving (like the vast majority of the prices in the area). Also, it is a bit disappointing that the pool closes at 8pm. Overall, it is an ok hotel. It gets the job done."

"We recently stayed at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort for a family vacation with our two children (ages 8 and 4), and we had a wonderful time! The weather was absolutely perfect, which made enjoying the resort's amazing amenities even better. We really loved the convenience of having everything full-service right on the property. Having multiple restaurants, a Starbucks, and a bar onsite made dining and grabbing drinks so incredibly easy while managing two young kids. Also, our 4 year old had buffet breakfast for free as long as we ordered an adult meal or buffet. The only minor heads-up for future guests is regarding the beach setup. While the beach chairs are conveniently included in the daily resort fee, keep in mind that the beach umbrella rentals are an additional out-of-pocket cost. Overall, we had a beautiful, relaxing stay and would highly recommend this resort to other families looking for an upscale, convenient beach getaway."

"Breakfast was fantastic. The area is just wonderful many things to do and to see. I now consider this my home away from home."

"This hotel is well kept, good location, polite staff and friendly. Clean room and great AC. My family loved it and we will come back again."

"The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and quick!"

"The perfect weekend, relax!! I'll be back for sure!"
