    For the neighborhood (Ritz Carlton, Westin, Hilton) this 2 star hotel is kinda jewel in the dark. GEt some complimentary beach chairs and sun lotion, cross the street and enjoy the beach, grill your lunch... couln't ask for more. The newly redesigned terrace is a great sum to the place. Casablanca Cafe is a nice side spot (live music building a lovely atmosphere). CLose to Las Olas boulevard if you want to keep rolling.

    Classy hotel. We had a side ocean view which was amazing, the room was large, clean and comfortable. The pool and lazy river was very relaxing. Breakfast was lovely, dinner had a limited menu, food was cooked nicely but expensive. 22% gratuity was automatically included in all bills. Valet parking was expensive but they did provide a good service and it ran smoothly. Cannot fault this location

    Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Great location. Beautiful design. I loved the outdoor area although couldn't use the pool because the water was way too hot, which was disappointing! (August) I was allowed late check-out which was a nice gesture. The bathroom products provided where great. I loved the AC chill-out TV room for working and the Pool bar ( no food or drinks) to sit at.
