Manhattan Tower Apartment Hotel

I stayed at Manhattan Tower Apartment Hotel during a business conference, and I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable and well-located it was. The room was clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited for a short stay—especially given the price point. But what truly stood out was the staff and owner. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, making me feel like I was staying in a cozy, welcoming B&B rather than a standard hotel. From local recommendations to arranging transportation, they went above and beyond without hesitation. The location is also great—easy access to downtown and the conference venue.

Pineapple Point Guesthouse & Resort - Gay Men's Resort

After four years of visiting, our love affair with Pineapple Point Guesthouse & Resort—and especially the amazing team—has only grown stronger. This trip was flawless: eight dreamy days soaking in lush greenery, relaxing in perfectly clean rooms, enjoying little thoughtful touches like fresh towels, chocolate-dipped pineapples, and ice cream. The nightly free happy hour was a highlight—perfect for unwinding and connecting with fellow guests in a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. Special thanks to Tim for his always-smiling hospitality and to owner Judd, whose dedication to both the property’s beautiful landscaping and guest comfort truly brightens every stay. We’re already counting down to next year—can’t wait to return!

Courtyard by Marriott Oceanside Fort Lauderdale Beach

The location and views were absolutely fantastic during the day—oceanfront on one side, a scenic intercoastal waterway with elegant homes and boats on the other. The room itself was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, making it a great base for exploring Fort Lauderdale. That said, there are some real concerns to be aware of. If you're driving, expect to pay $55 per day for valet parking—definitely not cheap. More importantly, during weekends and holidays, the area gets very lively at night, with large groups of young people walking around, loud music playing from cars, and frequent smoking of marijuana. The smell was overwhelming and made the outdoor spaces unpleasant, especially near the beachfront dining areas. We ended up avoiding those spots altogether. For a property priced at $200–$400 per night, guests should reasonably expect to walk the sidewalks safely and peacefully without feeling disturbed or exposed to disruptive behavior. It’s clear that stronger nighttime security and crowd management would greatly improve the overall experience. Fort Lauderdale has so much potential, but this issue really stands out.

Gallery One Private Condos

The entire stay was exceptional! Rodrigo at the outdoor patio truly stood out—he’s not just a bartender but a genuine professional with an impressive level of experience and charm. His friendly service made our evenings unforgettable. The front desk team was equally attentive and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The condo itself is beautifully designed, quiet, and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. Located in a great spot near downtown Fort Lauderdale, it's easy to explore local attractions without hassle. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort, style, and excellent hospitality.

Victoria Park Hotel

The Victoria Park Hotel is wonderfully managed—daily housekeeping and free parking make the stay super convenient. There are several great spots for breakfast and dinner nearby, and it's just a short walk from the beach. That said, I'd recommend avoiding walking in direct sunlight, especially during peak hours—it can get quite hot. Overall, the location is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the value for money is outstanding. It’s clear this hotel takes pride in its service and attention to detail. Definitely a top pick if you're visiting Fort Lauderdale.

Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port Conv

The vibe at this hotel was absolutely fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help—made our stay so much more enjoyable. The room was spacious with a comfortable king-sized bed and a cozy sofa, perfect for relaxing after a long day. We loved the location—it’s just a short walk to Publix, TJ Maxx, and Ross, making shopping super convenient. The furniture is a bit dated, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. The bed and bathroom were spotless clean, and everything we needed was there to make our short stay feel comfortable and stress-free. It’s clear the team takes pride in keeping things tidy and welcoming. I’d definitely stay here again—great value, great location, and a really pleasant atmosphere.
