Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton
Diplomat is a phenomenal Hotel especially the ambiance of the room, only issue I had upon my arrival my room wasn’t set to surprise my fiancé with a bottle of champagne or card but they made up for it the next morning. 🤗

Courtyard by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port
The outside sitting area & pool are very nice. The only thing holding me back from 5 stars all the way is the fact that the airport shuttle was completely full so we were told that they couldn’t take us. The shuttle was our primary reason for booking there! We had our name on their reservation list ...
