As a local, I like to try different hotels. This one is great if you don’t plan on spending any time in your room as the walls are paper thin and you can hear every conversation. The beach is beautiful and the staff are delightful. The paper thin walls isn’t worth it though. Beds aren’t the comfiest either. They were doing construction so I woke up to banging on the room at 9am. Staff didn’t mention anything about it either.

Good hotel, too bad we were there with a million soccer player kids! We didn't get to use the pool either day we were there. Beach was nice, towels and beach chairs included was a nice touch. Tiki bar was nice to have -great bar tenders!!! Breakfast was good. Bed was comfy but pillows were paper thin. Overall it was a good location but not much to do around the area, mostly hotels and condos. Walk to the Lauderdale by the beach intersection had a few shops and about 6 restaurants but not really much else. We took the water taxi tour for the day and that was well worth it! Explored Fort Lauderdale and along the waterway.
