Deluxe Room, Ocean View

This room faces the Atlantic Ocean. The resort sits on 16 acres with a quarter-mile of private beachfront, so the view is of open water and the shoreline in front of the hotel. Blackout drapes let you control the morning light if you would rather not wake at sunrise.

The room has 1 king bed with premium bedding and a down comforter, and it sleeps up to 3 guests. A complimentary crib is available for families with a baby. Children 12 and older are charged as adults at this property, which is worth remembering when planning a group of three.

Room rates carry a resort fee, around $44 per room per night plus tax and subject to change. It covers internet access, two welcome cocktails per stay, two beach chairs, a one-hour daily rental of non-motorized watersport equipment, two daily fitness classes (reservation required) and 90-minute tennis court use (reservation required). It also gives $25 off any spa treatment, excluding hair and nail services.

It suits couples and small families well, with one king bed, space for a third guest and a free crib. The resort is family-friendly, with an 8,000-square-foot Tropical Lagoon Pool and a Kids Surf Club for ages 5–17, open daily 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The Surf Club is a self-directed lounge and is not staff-supervised. Couples can use the spa's adults-only pool with a treatment booking or a day pass.

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. The minimum check-in age is 21. Self-parking is roughly $54–$59 a day and valet roughly $60–$65, with rates varying by date. The hotel is cashless, so bring a credit or debit card or use contactless mobile payment. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome.

There are six dining venues on site, plus a Starbucks. Sea Level Restaurant and Ocean Bar serves lunch and dinner overlooking the Atlantic. Riva offers a daily breakfast buffet and a Sunday brunch. 3030 Ocean is the seafood-focused evening restaurant with a smart casual dress code, and reservations are strongly recommended. Loggerhead Sand Bar is on the beach for cocktails and light bites.

Las Olas Boulevard is about a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute walk up the beach. The Water Taxi stop on Seabreeze Avenue is roughly an 8-minute walk away. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is about 3.4 miles away, around a 6-minute drive. The hotel does not run an airport or cruise-port shuttle.

The resort is on the southern, quieter section of Fort Lauderdale Beach, off a side road from A1A, rather than on the busiest part of the main strip. Pool cabanas must be reserved, especially on busy weekends, and the best weather runs from December through April.
